1. Lise is doing a research project on the various psychological theories that Sigmund Freud developed and on the modern response to those theories. To which section of the library should she go to begin looking for research material?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: '100.' Freud's theories fall under psychology, which is classified under the 100 section according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Section 200 is for Religion, 300 for Social sciences, and 900 for History, geography, and biography. Therefore, A is the most appropriate section for Lise to find research material related to Freud's psychological theories.

2. When evaluating the credibility of a source during research, which statement is true?

• A. The author's reputation is more important than whether they cite sources.
• B. The source should always be as recent as possible, considering the subject.
• C. The author's point of view and/or purpose is crucial for credibility.
• D. The kinds of sources various audiences value influence credibility for them.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The kind of sources different audiences value can indeed influence the credibility of a source for them. Different audiences may place varying levels of trust in different types of sources, such as peer-reviewed journals, government reports, or mainstream media outlets. Understanding the preferences of the target audience is essential for establishing credibility when presenting information. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. The author's reputation is important but not more critical than citing sources, as proper citations contribute to transparency and reliability. The recency of a source is essential but not always the most crucial factor; relevance to the subject matter is also significant. The author's point of view and purpose are indeed relevant to assessing credibility; understanding their biases and intentions is vital in evaluating the reliability of a source.

3. It is December, and you have not yet had a lu vaccine. What should you do if you are among the people for whom a vaccine is recommended?

• A. Call your doctor for an appointment and get the vaccine.
• B. Avoid other people as much as possible.
• C. Wait until next year and get a double dose.
• D. Contact your local public health board to inform them.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If you are among the people for whom a flu vaccine is recommended, the best course of action is to call your doctor for an appointment and get the vaccine. Getting vaccinated can help protect you from getting the flu and reduce the spread of the virus to others. It is important to prioritize your health and take preventive measures, especially during the flu season.

4. Which option best describes the use of the spider in the poem?

• A. Idiom
• B. Haiku
• C. ABBA rhyming convention
• D. Simile

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Simile.' In the poem, the speaker compares the spider to an artist using 'as,' indicating a simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using 'like' or 'as.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. An idiom is a phrase with a figurative meaning different from its literal meaning, a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, and ABBA rhyming convention refers to a specific rhyme scheme commonly found in poetry, none of which apply to the comparison of the spider to an artist in the poem.

5. What is the purpose of the subtitle 'A Trivial Comedy for Serious People' in the context of the play?

• A. To emphasize the seriousness of the social critique in the play.
• B. To downplay the seriousness of the play and present it as light-hearted.
• C. To reflect the trivial nature of the characters' concerns and lives.
• D. To highlight the absurdity of taking serious matters lightly.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The subtitle 'A Trivial Comedy for Serious People' in Oscar Wilde's play 'The Importance of Being Earnest' serves to reflect the trivial concerns of the characters and the superficiality of their lives. Wilde uses this subtitle to highlight the irony in portraying seemingly serious people who are preoccupied with trivial matters and appearances. Choice A is incorrect because the subtitle does not aim to emphasize the seriousness of the social critique but rather the triviality of the characters' lives. Choice B is incorrect as the subtitle doesn't downplay the seriousness of the play; instead, it juxtaposes the trivial with the serious. Choice D is incorrect because the subtitle does not aim to highlight the absurdity of taking serious matters lightly, but rather to underscore the triviality of the characters' concerns and behaviors.
