1. In which of the following battles were there more Confederate casualties than Union casualties?

• A. Cold Harbor
• B. Chancellorsville
• C. Atlanta
• D. Shiloh

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Shiloh had more Confederate casualties than Union casualties. In the Battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862, the Confederates suffered around 10,700 casualties, while the Union forces had approximately 13,000 casualties. Therefore, Shiloh is the correct answer. Choice A, Cold Harbor, is incorrect because in that battle, the Confederate casualties were fewer than the Union casualties. Choices B and C, Chancellorsville and Atlanta respectively, also had more Union casualties than Confederate casualties, making them incorrect answers.

2. Jorgen is doing a project on the ancient Greek mathematician and poet Eratosthenes. In his initial review, Jorgen learns that Eratosthenes is considered the first person to calculate the circumference of the earth, and that he is considered the first to describe geography as it is studied today. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes?

• A. 100
• B. 300
• C. 600
• D. 900

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The 900 section contains works on history, geography, and biography, which is where Jorgen is likely to find early maps by Eratosthenes. Eratosthenes was not only a mathematician but also a geographer, so his maps would be classified under history and geography, making Section 900 the most appropriate choice. Sections 100, 300, and 600 do not specifically cater to history, geography, or biography where Eratosthenes' early maps would be located.

3. Where did Robert and I decide to buy a house after looking at five different houses?

• A. Forest Road
• B. Pine Street
• C. Rice Avenue
• D. Willow Lane

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert and the speaker decided to buy the house on Forest Road after considering five different houses. The first two houses lacked the necessary space, the third didn't have a big enough yard, the fourth was above their price range, and the last one wasn't in the desired neighborhood. Only the house on Forest Road met their requirements for space and price, making it the final choice.

4. Considering the list of works that Angela read, into which category does 'The Cask of Amontillado' most likely fit?

• A. newspaper article
• B. book chapter
• C. short story
• D. television show episode

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe is most likely a short story based on the information provided. The list of works that Angela read consisted of classic literature. Since the rule states that short stories should be placed in quotation marks, it aligns with the formatting rule. Therefore, 'The Cask of Amontillado' is most likely categorized as a short story. Choice A, newspaper article, is incorrect because newspaper articles are usually not considered classic literature. Choice B, book chapter, is incorrect as 'The Cask of Amontillado' is a standalone work and not a chapter within a book. Choice D, television show episode, is incorrect as the list of works provided consists of classic literary works, not television shows.

5. Which of the following words, as used in the timeline, indicates the chronology of events in Barton's life?

• A. Front
• B. First
• C. After
• D. Through

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'After' is used to indicate that one event happened following another in time. In the context of a timeline, 'After' signifies the sequence of events, showing what occurred subsequent to a particular point in time. In the provided extract, events unfold in a specific order, with each event happening 'after' the previous one. Choices A, B, and D do not inherently convey the idea of chronological order and are not suitable for indicating the sequence of events in a timeline.
