1. How did Araminta Ross come to be known as Harriet Tubman?

• A. She changed her name to her husband's last name and her first name to her mother's name.
• B. She was named after the plantation owner's wife.
• C. She changed her name because she was wanted as an Underground Railroad runner.
• D. She changed her name to remain anonymous as a Civil War spy.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Araminta Ross came to be known as Harriet Tubman after marrying a free black man named John Tubman. She took her husband's last name 'Tubman' and changed her first name to 'Harriet,' which was her mother's name. This change of name was a personal choice after her marriage and not because she was named after the plantation owner's wife (B), wanted as an Underground Railroad runner (C), or to remain anonymous as a Civil War spy (D). Therefore, the correct answer is A.

2. How much will Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

• A. $9
• B. $6
• C. $12
• D. $15

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Raoul estimates that he will need to use the library computer for approximately an hour and a half. Since each 15-minute period beyond the initial 30 minutes incurs a $3 charge, for a total of three additional 15-minute periods, Raoul will need to pay $9 ($3 x 3 = $9). Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $9 for his computer use at the library. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the information provided in the extract.

3. During his study, Jenson finds himself increasingly drawn to information about the theaters of ancient Greece and particularly to the plays that the Greeks performed. What section of the library should he check next for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece?

• A. 200
• B. 600
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jenson should check section 800 for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece. Section 800 generally covers literature and includes works of literary criticism, which would likely have information on ancient Greek plays, playwrights, and theatrical practices. Choice A (200) is for Religion, not related to ancient Greek plays. Choice B (600) is for Technical and applied science, unrelated to literature. Choice C (700) is for Arts and recreation, more related to the performing arts but not specifically focused on written plays from ancient Greece.

4. What is the purpose of the passage?

• A. to inform
• B. to entertain
• C. to describe
• D. to persuade

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The main purpose of this passage is to inform readers about the role of skin coloration and markings in snakes. It explains how these markings help snakes hide from predators and how they can also indicate venomousness. The passage also provides examples such as the scarlet kingsnake to illustrate how some nonvenomous snakes mimic the appearance of venomous snakes for protection. This informative content aims to educate readers about the survival strategies of snakes, rather than entertain, describe, or persuade them.

5. Based on the passages, what can we infer about the relationship between assault and lethal force?

• A. An act of lethal force always results from a type of assault.
• B. An assault will lead to the use of lethal force by someone.
• C. An assault with deadly intent can lead to an individual using lethal force to preserve their well-being.
• D. If someone uses self-defense in a conflict, it is considered deadly force; if actions or threats are intended, it is classified as assault.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: From the passages provided, it can be inferred that an assault with deadly intent can lead to an individual using lethal force to defend themselves and preserve their well-being. This suggests a relationship between assault with deadly intent and the potential use of lethal force in self-defense situations. Choice A is incorrect because lethal force is not always a direct result of assault, as it depends on the circumstances. Choice B is incorrect as not all assaults lead to the use of lethal force by someone. Choice D is incorrect as the definition of deadly force and assault are distinct, with deadly force typically being used in self-defense situations where there is an immediate threat of severe harm or death.
