1. Raoul has an upcoming school project, and his own computer is not working. He needs to use the library computer, and he has estimated that he will need to be on the computer for approximately an hour and a half. How much of a fee can Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

• A. $6
• B. $9
• C. $12
• D. $15

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Raoul needs to use the computer for 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes are free, so he would pay for the remaining 60 minutes, which is 4 intervals of 15 minutes each. Each 15-minute period incurs a $3 charge, so for 60 minutes, Raoul would pay 4 x $3 = $12. Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $12 for his computer use at the library. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the provided information.

2. Which of the following best describes the type of writing used in the email message sent by the instructor?

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The email sent by the instructor after reconsidering his grading plan for the semester is aimed at persuading the students to understand the situation and potentially take certain actions based on his decision. It is not a technical piece that focuses on explaining complex processes, nor is it primarily a narrative recounting events. It also does not strictly provide information or explain a topic (expository writing). Instead, the email's purpose is to influence the students' perspective or behavior, making it a persuasive type of writing.

3. Which of the following describes the type of writing used in the passage?

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The type of writing used in the passage is expository. Expository writing aims to provide information, explain concepts or ideas, and present factual details without trying to persuade or tell a story. In the passage, the text focuses on providing factual information about 'The Five,' their backgrounds, and their influence on classical music without any persuasive elements or narrative storytelling. The passage educates and informs the reader about the topic, which aligns with the characteristics of expository writing. Therefore, 'expository' is the correct description. Choice A (narrative) is incorrect as the passage does not tell a story but rather presents factual information. Choice B (persuasive) is incorrect because there is no attempt to persuade the reader in the passage. Choice D (technical) is also incorrect as the passage does not involve technical instructions or specialized technical details, but rather general information about the subject matter.

4. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to learn more about the letters of the Greek alphabet and the meaning of the word 'beta'?

• A. 200
• B. 400
• C. 700
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Jorgen should go to section 400 in the library to learn more about the Greek alphabet and the meaning of the word 'beta'. Section 400 is dedicated to languages, which makes it the most appropriate place for this specific inquiry. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because section 200 is dedicated to religion, section 700 covers arts and recreation, and section 900 focuses on history, geography, and biography, none of which would provide information about the Greek alphabet or the word 'beta'.

5. Based on the information in the announcement, what might the reader assume about how the university determined the lunch schedule?

• A. The university arranged the schedule alphabetically, according to the name of each department.
• B. The university checked with the departments in advance to make sure faculty members would be amenable to the change.
• C. The university checked to see when the most faculty members from each department would be entering the canteen.
• D. The university was more concerned about crowding in the canteen and simply decided to establish different times for each department.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The announcement states that the university polled the various departments about schedules to determine a recommended roster for each department to visit the canteen for lunch. This indicates that the university checked to see when the most faculty members from each department would be entering the canteen to offset the crowding issue. Therefore, the correct choice is C. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no mention of arranging the schedule alphabetically, checking with departments in advance for agreement, or simply establishing different times without considering faculty members' schedules in the announcement. The university's approach was to tailor the lunch schedule based on each department's peak entry times to manage the crowding problem effectively.
