1. Jenson also discovers that the meaning behind many of the plays was closely related to the polytheistic beliefs that were practiced in ancient Greece. What section of the library should he check for more information about Greek polytheism?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Jenson should check section 200 of the library for more information about Greek polytheism. In the Dewey Decimal Classification system used in libraries, section 200 covers topics related to religion. Since Greek polytheism is a religious belief system, relevant resources and information about it are most likely found in the 200s section of the library. Choice A (100) covers Philosophy and Psychology, which is not directly related to religion like Greek polytheism. Choice C (300) covers Social Sciences, which is not the most appropriate section for information on religious beliefs. Choice D (900) covers History, Geography, and Biography, which are also unrelated to the specific topic of Greek polytheism.

2. Which of the statements reflect information that one could reasonably infer based on the author's tone?

• A. The author's tone is persuasive and attempts to call the audience to action.
• B. The author's tone is passionate due to excitement over the subject and personal narrative.
• C. The author's tone is informative and exhibits interest in the subject of the study.
• D. The author's tone is somber, depicting some anger at the state of insect larvae.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The statement 'The author's tone is persuasive and attempts to call the audience to action' reflects information that one could reasonably infer based on the author's tone. The use of persuasive language and an attempt to call the audience to action suggests that the author is trying to convince or motivate the readers to take a specific course of action. This inference is based on the author's choice of words and the overall tone of the text. Choice B is incorrect as it introduces the idea of excitement and personal narrative, which are not clearly indicated in the author's tone. Choice C is incorrect as although the author may be informative, the focus is on persuasive language rather than merely providing information. Choice D is incorrect as it introduces emotions like anger and somberness, which are not explicitly conveyed in the author's tone.

3. What is the author’s tone in the passage?

• A. The author’s tone is optimistic.
• B. The author’s tone is pessimistic.
• C. The author’s tone is matter-of-fact.
• D. The author’s tone is angry.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author's tone in the passage is matter-of-fact. The text provides practical suggestions and advice in a straightforward manner, focusing on actions without expressing emotions or bias. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the author does not show signs of being optimistic, pessimistic, or angry; instead, the author presents information objectively and neutrally.

4. At the top of an encyclopedia's page are the following two guide terms: kingcraft and klieg light. Which one of the following words will be found on this page?

• A. Kleptomania
• B. Knead
• C. Kinesthesia
• D. Kickback

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Kinesthesia.' When arranging words alphabetically, 'Kinesthesia' would come between 'kingcraft' and 'klieg light.' Choice A, 'Kleptomania,' starts with a 'K' but comes after 'Kinesthesia.' Choices B and D, 'Knead' and 'Kickback,' do not fit alphabetically between the guide terms provided at the top of the page.

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

• A. The author looked at the house on Forest Road, then at a house with a yard that was too small, then at two houses that were too small, and then finally at a house that was too expensive.
• B. The author looked at the house on Forest Road, then at two houses that were too small, then at a house with a yard that was too small, and then finally at a house that was too expensive.
• C. The author looked at two homes with yards that were too small, then a house with only one bathroom, then a house that was too expensive, and then finally the house on Forest Road.
• 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.
