Nursing Elites

1. In which chapter should Clothilde look for more information?

• A. Chapter 7
• B. Chapter 9
• C. Chapter 10
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Clothilde should look for more information in Chapter 9, 'Herbs for Immunity,' as her sister's daughter has a chronic cough. Immune-boosting herbs may help strengthen the child's immune system and potentially alleviate the cough. Chapter 9 focuses on herbs that support immune health, making it the most relevant chapter for addressing a chronic cough related to immunity. Chapters 7, 10, and 12 do not specifically focus on immunity or respiratory conditions, making them less likely to provide the information Clothilde needs.

2. Which of the following best provides detailed support for the claim that 'seatbelts save lives'?

• A. A government website containing driving accident information
• B. A blog developed by one of the largest car companies in the world
• C. An encyclopedia entry on the seatbelt and its development
• D. A social media post from a famous race car driver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Government websites usually contain reliable and detailed statistics supporting the effectiveness of seatbelts. Choice B, a blog from a car company, may have biased information to promote their products. Choice C, an encyclopedia entry, may not necessarily have the most up-to-date or detailed information on the topic. Choice D, a social media post from a race car driver, lacks the credibility and detailed information that a government website can provide.

3. What type of writing is used in the passage?

• A. narrative
• B. persuasive
• C. expository
• D. technical

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage is expository because it presents information about 'The Five' group of Russian musicians and their contributions to classical music. It provides details about the background, works, and influence of each member of the group without telling a story, providing instructions, or attempting to persuade the reader. Choice A (narrative) is incorrect because the passage does not tell a story but rather presents factual information. Choice B (persuasive) is incorrect because the passage does not try to persuade the reader but instead informs about the musicians. Choice D (technical) is incorrect because the passage does not focus on technical details or procedures but rather on historical and musical information.

4. 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.

5. What information should the author include to help clarify information in the passage?

• A. The fat content of yogurt.
• B. How much calcium is in fortified juice.
• C. Which leafy greens contain calcium.
• D. The definition of lactose intolerance.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author should include information on the definition of lactose intolerance to help readers understand the need for lactose-free alternatives within the milk group. This clarification would provide context for why lactose-free options are recommended and help individuals make informed choices based on their dietary needs. Choices A, B, and C, although related to the topic of calcium-rich foods, do not directly address the issue of lactose intolerance and its implications for choosing suitable dairy alternatives.
