• B. Julia is planning to go home.
• C. Julia wants to go home but will return to work.
• D. Julia is worried the fire at her office will spread to her home.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The final sentence of the passage mentioning that Julia set a course for home indicates that Julia is making a deliberate decision to head towards her residence. This implies that she is planning to go home, suggesting that option B is the most accurate interpretation. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the context provided. Option A is incorrect as there is no indication that Julia cannot go directly home. Option C is incorrect as there is no mention of Julia returning to work. Option D is incorrect as there is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Julia is worried about the fire at her office spreading to her home.

2. Which statement is not a detail from the passage?

• A. Promoters of dietary supplements can make any claims that are supported by research.
• B. GMP requirements for large manufacturers went into effect in 2008.
• C. The FDA regulates dietary supplements in the same way as prescription medications.
• D. Consumers should research supplement claims before making a purchase.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The statement "Promoters of dietary supplements can make any claims that are supported by research" is not a detail from the passage. The passage mentions that manufacturers, not promoters, can make claims supported by research. The primary focus is on the regulations and manufacturing standards for dietary supplements. Choice B is a detail from the passage as it mentions the GMP requirements for large manufacturers going into effect in 2008. Choice C is incorrect as the passage states that FDA regulations for dietary supplements are not the same as those for prescription medications. Choice D is also supported by the passage, emphasizing that consumers should research supplement claims before making a purchase to ensure accuracy and safety.

3. Based on the information provided, what is the most logical reason for this?

• A. There are more addresses ending with these numbers than with the other numbers.
• B. All residences and businesses have addresses ending in these numbers, and they consume the most water.
• C. The residents at these addresses are the most likely to consume more water.
• D. The city is more concerned about water usage in the latter part of the week.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The town of Audley has implemented a water conservation plan with specific watering schedules based on addresses. The city has designated different days for watering based on the ending digits of addresses, suggesting a concern for regulating water usage throughout the week. Choosing option D as the correct answer aligns with the logical reason behind the designated watering schedule. Option A is incorrect as the distribution of addresses ending with specific numbers is not the central reason for the watering schedule. Option B is incorrect as it generalizes that all addresses ending in specific numbers consume the most water, which is not supported by the provided information. Option C is incorrect as it assumes that residents at specific addresses are the most likely to consume more water, which is not explicitly stated in the given extract.

4. To which chapter should Regina turn if she needs to find out what to do if the car begins overheating?

• A. III
• B. IV
• C. VI
• D. I

Correct answer: C

Rationale: An overheating vehicle is considered an emergency situation, so Regina should refer to Chapter VI, which covers emergencies in the car owner's manual. Chapter III focuses on Audio, Climate, and Voice Controls, which is not relevant to an overheating car. Chapter IV discusses Pre-Driving and Driving, which does not address overheating. Chapter I pertains to Vehicle Instruments and is not the appropriate chapter for handling an overheating car.

5. Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

• A. A war between the world powers was extremely likely.
• B. World War I never would have happened.
• C. England, France, and Russia would have started the war.
• D. Austria would have started the war.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage indicates that the world powers were already in a combustible situation due to complicated military alliances, making war extremely likely even without the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Choice B is incorrect because the passage does not suggest that World War I would never have happened. Choice C is incorrect as it specifically names the countries that would have started the war, which is not supported by the passage. Choice D is also incorrect as the passage does not solely attribute the war's start to Austria.
