1. First-hand accounts of an event, subject matter, time period, or an individual are referred to as what type of source?

• A. Primary sources
• B. Secondary sources
• C. Direct sources
• D. Indirect sources

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First-hand accounts, like the speech by Charles Dickens, are considered primary sources as they provide direct evidence or original data from the event or time period. Primary sources offer firsthand information, such as diaries, speeches, letters, autobiographies, or original research reports. Secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources, making them one step removed from the original event or period. Direct and indirect sources are not commonly used terms in the context of primary and secondary sources.

3. Which of the following lists the author’s actions in the correct sequence?

• D. The author looked at two homes that were too small, then a house with a yard that was too small, then a house that was too expensive, and then finally at the house on Forest Road.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct sequence of the author's actions based on the extract is as follows: the author looked at the house on Forest Road first, then two houses that were too small, followed by a house with a yard that was too small, and finally a house that was too expensive. Therefore, choice B correctly lists the author's actions in the given sequence. Choice A is incorrect as it reverses the order of the second and third houses visited. Choice C is incorrect as it includes a house with only one bathroom, which was not mentioned in the extract. Choice D is incorrect as it places the house on Forest Road last, whereas it was actually the first house visited.

• A. Smith and Jones
• B. Martin and Sons
• C. Williams Attorneys
• D. Thorn and Thomas

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Smith and Jones. In the provided extract, it mentions that Shia wanted to pursue a claim, and in the text, Smith and Jones specialize in worker's compensation legal issues. Furthermore, they offer a no-fee-unless-you-win service, ensuring the lowest cost for the employee. Choice B, Martin and Sons, Choice C, Williams Attorneys, and Choice D, Thorn and Thomas, are incorrect as they are not mentioned in the extract and do not offer the specific services required for the worker's compensation claim.

5. What is the purpose of the use of repetition in the following passage?

• A. It serves as a demonstration of Mr. Lanyon's mental state.
• B. It is reminiscent of the church bells mentioned in the story.
• C. It mimics Mr. Utterson's ambivalence.
• D. It emphasizes Mr. Utterson's anguish in failing to identify Hyde's whereabouts.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The repetition in the passage, especially the reiteration of Mr. Utterson's struggle and the continuous digging at the problem, serves to emphasize Mr. Utterson's internal turmoil and anguish. It highlights his failure to identify Hyde's whereabouts and his increasing obsession with the mystery. Choice A is incorrect because the repetition does not primarily reflect Mr. Lanyon's mental state but focuses on Mr. Utterson's dilemma. Choice B is incorrect as the repetition does not directly relate to the church bells but to Mr. Utterson's persistent contemplation. Choice C is incorrect as the repetition does not specifically mirror Mr. Utterson's ambivalence but rather his distress and preoccupation with the problem.
