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. Which of the following is part of the world view, with which we may not agree, that the author implies we might absorb from these movies if we're careless and unquestioning:

• A. Enemies of the U.S. do not ever fight for legitimate causes.
• B. The community is morally bankrupt.
• C. The U.S. is complex.
• D. The U.S. is not skilled at warfare.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Throughout the text, the author discusses how American war movies often portray U.S. enemies as lacking legitimate causes. This portrayal can lead to a simplistic view of global conflicts and perpetuate stereotypes. Choice B is incorrect as the text does not discuss the community being morally bankrupt. Choice C is incorrect as the focus is not on the complexity of the U.S. but on the portrayal of enemies and heroes. Choice D is incorrect as the text actually mentions that the hero in the movies is highly skilled at warfare.

3. Given the information in the passages, which of the following must be true about assault?

• A. Not all assault is considered an expression of lethal force.
• B. There are various forms of assault.
• C. Smaller, weaker people can commit assault.
• D. Assault can be justified in certain situations.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passages clearly outline that assault can manifest in different forms, including physical strikes, threatening body language, and provocative language. This variety of actions demonstrates that there are indeed various forms of assault. This choice is correct because it aligns with the information provided in the passages. Choice A is incorrect as the passages differentiate between lethal force and assault, indicating that not all assault involves lethal force. Choice C is incorrect since there are no restrictions mentioned regarding who can commit assault. Choice D is incorrect because the passages do not provide a blanket justification for assault but rather emphasize the unlawful and threatening nature of such actions.

4. What can one infer about the meaning of the word 'Juggernaut' from the author's use of it in the passage?

• A. It is an apparition that appears at daybreak.
• B. It scares children.
• C. It is associated with space travel.
• D. Mr. Utterson finds it soothing.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'Juggernaut' is used metaphorically in the passage to describe a powerful and destructive force, as seen when the child is trodden down and left screaming. This metaphorical usage aligns with choice B, 'It scares children,' as it conveys the idea of something imposing and frightening. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not capture the negative and forceful connotation associated with the term 'Juggernaut' in the passage. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

5. Teddy has been assigned to write a history paper about the United States during the Cold War. What choice of three classes would likely be the most useful?

• A. 100, 300, 700
• B. 100, 300, 800
• C. 100, 400, 900
• D. 200, 300, 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the Dewey Decimal System, which is a library classification system, the subjects related to Chomsky's work, which touches on philosophy, social sciences, and history, fall under classes 100, 400, and 900. Therefore, these classes would be the most useful for Teddy's history paper about the United States during the Cold War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not include the specific classes related to the required subjects for Teddy's paper.
