1. Sarah also wants to offer her vegan guests a slightly more filling option such as a light soup with some biscuits. Which two chapters of the cookbook should she consult?

• A. Chapter II and Chapter III
• B. Chapter I and Chapter III
• C. Chapter II and Chapter IV
• D. Chapter V and Chapter VI

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Sarah wants to offer her vegan guests a slightly more filling option such as a light soup with some biscuits. Chapter II of the cookbook covers light soups, making it a suitable choice for soup ideas. Chapter IV focuses on baking and bread recipes, including biscuits. By consulting Chapter II for soup recipes and Chapter IV for biscuit recipes, Sarah can find appropriate dishes for her vegan guests. Choice A (Chapter II and Chapter III) is incorrect because Chapter III does not cover biscuits. Choice B (Chapter I and Chapter III) is incorrect as biscuits are not part of Chapter I. Choice D (Chapter V and Chapter VI) is incorrect because these chapters do not contain relevant recipes for a light soup with biscuits.

2. What word best describes the organization of this passage?

• A. Modeling
• B. Hypothesizing
• C. Explaining
• D. Observing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Explaining.' The passage is structured in an explanatory manner, providing a detailed account of how a plunger works. It explains the process step by step, from the initial depression of the plunger to the increase in pressure inside the clogged pipe. 'Modeling' and 'Observing' are not suitable choices as the passage does not involve creating models or direct observations. 'Hypothesizing' is also incorrect as the passage focuses on describing the functioning of a plunger rather than proposing or discussing potential hypotheses.

3. Which of the following conclusions is well supported by the passage?

• A. The Human Resources team will take longer than initially stated to review candidates and schedule interviews for the position of Lead Technician.
• B. Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview.
• C. The Human Resources team may struggle to find a suitable candidate for the position of Lead Technician due to the high number of applications received.
• D. Mr. Morgan will patiently wait for further communication from the Human Resources team regarding his application for the position of Lead Technician.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage mentions that Mr. Morgan's application for the position of Lead Technician has been received, along with a higher-than-expected number of applications. It also states that the Human Resources team will take longer than previously stated to review candidates and schedule interviews. While there is no direct mention of Mr. Morgan's qualifications or the likelihood of him being offered an interview, it can be inferred that his interest in the position and the competitive application pool suggest that he is well qualified and stands a good chance of being offered an interview. Therefore, the most supported conclusion is that Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention the specific timeframe within which Mr. Morgan was informed about receiving feedback. Choice C is not directly supported by the passage as it does not indicate any challenges in finding a qualified candidate. Choice D is not directly addressed in the passage and is speculative.

4. In a lesson on mass media, a teacher is showing commercials and analyzing their hidden messages. Which of the following is an example of a commercial that claims professional authority not supported by evidence?

• A. A commercial selling pain relief featuring a professional basketball player who says he uses the product
• B. A commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat
• C. A commercial for a new toy showing footage of children playing happily with it
• D. A commercial for a prepared food with testimonials by real consumers

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat is the correct answer. This commercial claims professional authority without providing any evidence of the narrator's credentials. While the man may appear to be a doctor with his coat, there is no proof that he is actually a medical professional or that the product is recommended by experts. This lack of evidence can mislead consumers by giving the product an air of legitimacy and credibility without factual support. Choices A, C, and D do not fit the criteria as they involve a professional athlete endorsing a product, children enjoying a toy, and real consumers providing testimonials respectively.

5. This passage is most likely taken from a(n) _____.

• A. Self-help manual
• B. Autobiography
• C. Epistle
• D. Novel

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage reads like a self-help manual as it offers advice and guidance on managing money and achieving financial independence. It provides practical tips on making and keeping money, emphasizing the importance of living within one's means. The content is focused on providing instruction rather than personal experiences (autobiography), formal letters (epistle), or fictional storytelling (novel).
