1. During her research, Lise discovers that Freud's theory of the Oedipal complex was based on ancient Greek mythology that was made famous by Sophocles' play Oedipus Rex. To which section of the library should she go if she is interested in reading the play?

• A. 300
• B. 400
• C. 800
• D. 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 800. Greek mythology and literature are typically found in section 800 of the library classification system, which includes works like Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. Choice A (300) pertains to social sciences, choice B (400) covers languages, and choice D (900) focuses on history, geography, and biography, making them incorrect for finding a play like Oedipus Rex.

2. What is a secondary argument the author makes?

• A. Devices such as the iPad or Kindle are better than books because they have multiple uses.
• B. Books are still important to have while waiting for an appointment or taking a flight.
• C. Printed encyclopedias are still used and more convenient than using the Internet.
• D. With technology, there will soon be no need for stories.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The secondary argument made by the author is that devices such as the iPad and Kindle are superior to printed books because they offer multiple functions beyond just reading. The author mentions that these devices have qualities similar to a computer and can be used for much more than just reading, making them a more versatile option compared to traditional books. Choice B is incorrect because the author does not emphasize the importance of books for specific situations like waiting for appointments or flights. Choice C is incorrect as the author does not compare printed encyclopedias to the Internet. Choice D is incorrect as the author does not suggest that technology will eliminate the need for stories; instead, they focus on the transition from printed books to electronic devices for reading.

3. Based on the context, which of the following is the meaning of the word move in the passage?

• A. drive
• B. sell
• C. advance forward
• D. change location

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context provided, the word 'move' is used to indicate that the vehicles are 'marked to move quickly,' which implies that they are intended to be sold rapidly. Therefore, the correct meaning of 'move' in this context is 'sell.' Options A, C, and D do not accurately capture the intention of the word as it is used in the passage. While 'advance forward' (Option C) might seem plausible, the context of a sales event and the urgency to buy due to low prices indicate that 'sell' is the most fitting interpretation.

4. Which of these cinemas does not have a suitable option for Thomas and his sister?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Only Twin Theatres does not offer a showing before 6 p.m. or after 10 p.m., which are the only times Thomas and his sister are available. The other cinemas - Reveler Cinema, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House - have showings that fall within their available time slots, making them viable options for Thomas and his sister. Therefore, Twin Theatres is the correct answer. Reveler Cinema has showings at 5:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., Big Screen 14 has showings at 6:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m., 9:10 p.m., and 10:05 p.m., and Best Seat in The House has showings at 8:20 p.m., 9:55 p.m., and 11:25 p.m.

5. This passage is mainly about

• A. slaves in the Civil War.
• B. how slaves escaped along the Underground Railroad.
• C. Harriet Tubman's role as an abolitionist leader.
• D. Harriet Tubman's life as a slave.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage is mainly about Harriet Tubman's role as an abolitionist leader. It discusses her efforts to help slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad and highlights her significant impact on the abolitionist movement. The focus is on Tubman's leadership and involvement in the fight against slavery, rather than just her life as a slave or the general experience of slaves during the Civil War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because while the passage mentions slavery, the Civil War, and Tubman's life as a slave, the primary emphasis is on her leadership and activism in the abolitionist movement.
