1. Based on the pattern in the headings, which of the following is a reasonable heading to insert in the blank spot?

• A. Gray Tree Frog
• B. Tropical Frogs
• C. Newts
• D. Spadefoot Toads

Correct answer: A

Rationale: By observing the headings provided in the extract, we can see that they are sorted alphabetically starting from 'Gray Tree Frog.' Following this alphabetical order, the next heading to be inserted in the blank spot would also come alphabetically next, which is 'Gray Tree Frog.' Choices B, C, and D do not follow the alphabetical pattern established by the existing headings and are therefore incorrect.

2. What word best describes the organization of this passage?

• A. Modeling
• B. Hypothesizing
• C. Explaining
• D. Observing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Explaining.' The passage is structured in an explanatory manner, providing a detailed account of how a plunger works. It explains the process step by step, from the initial depression of the plunger to the increase in pressure inside the clogged pipe. 'Modeling' and 'Observing' are not suitable choices as the passage does not involve creating models or direct observations. 'Hypothesizing' is also incorrect as the passage focuses on describing the functioning of a plunger rather than proposing or discussing potential hypotheses.

3. In which chapter should Clothilde look for more information about how to do this?

• A. Chapter 3
• B. Chapter 4
• C. Chapter 2
• D. Chapter 1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Clothilde should look for more information on how to prune her elderberry plant and utilize the elderflowers for tea and homemade wine in Chapter 4: Herbs in Food. This chapter typically covers information on using herbs in various culinary and beverage preparations, which aligns with Clothilde's goals. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because Chapter 4, specifically focusing on herbs in food, is the most relevant chapter for Clothilde's inquiry on utilizing elderflowers for tea and wine.

4. Which of the following words is a synonym for avian in this passage?

• A. Bird
• B. Flying
• C. Aerial
• D. Plane

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'avian' refers to birds, so the synonym is 'Bird.' In the provided passage, the term 'avian' is used to refer to birds, making 'Bird' the correct synonym. 'Flying' and 'Aerial' are related to the concept of flight but do not specifically refer to birds. 'Plane' refers to an aircraft and is not synonymous with 'avian' or 'bird.' Therefore, 'Bird' is the most appropriate choice as a synonym for avian in this context.

5. Which statement from the passage best supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio during an interview is a good practice for journalists?

• A. Journalists often use a recording device to capture the audio transcript of an interview with a subject.
• B. Relying on a recording device is not without troubles, however.
• C. As a result, a portion of an interview can be lost without any way to reclaim it.
• D. This dual-note method means that most of the time, a wise journalist has two good resources to use as he or she writes the article draft.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The statement about the dual-note method best supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio is a good practice. It highlights the advantage of having two resources - notes and audio recordings - which provide comprehensive coverage of the interview. Choice A simply mentions the use of a recording device but does not emphasize the benefits of combining it with note-taking. Choices B and C focus on the limitations or potential issues with using recording devices, which do not promote the practice as positively as Choice D.
