1. The guide words at the top of a dictionary page are considerable and conspicuous. Which of the following words is an entry on this page?

• A. consonantal
• B. consumption
• C. conserve
• D. conquistador

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is "C: conserve." In a dictionary page where the guide words are "considerable" and "conspicuous," the word "conserve" would be an entry as it falls alphabetically within those guide words. Choice A, "consonantal," starts with a different letter, so it would not be located between the guide words. Choice B, "consumption," also starts with a different letter and would not be between the guide words. Choice D, "conquistador," starts with a different letter and is also far from the guide words alphabetically, making it an incorrect entry on this particular page.

2. Which of the following statements is an opinion?

• A. Despite the progression of the Internet, printed media was still very popular in the forms of both fiction and non-fiction books
• B. Although some people may say that the act of reading is not complete without turning a page, sliding a finger across the screen, or pressing a button to read more onto the next page is just as satisfying to the reader
• C. With the invention of the Internet, reliance on books for information quickly changed
• D. Stories have been a part of the world since the beginning of recorded time

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Statement B is an opinion because it expresses a personal viewpoint about the act of reading and satisfaction related to different reading formats. The phrase 'just as satisfying to the reader' reflects subjective feelings and preferences rather than objective facts. Choices A, C, and D are not opinions but statements of fact. Choice A discusses the continued popularity of printed media despite the Internet's advancement. Choice C talks about the change in reliance on books due to the Internet. Choice D states the historical presence of stories in the world, which is a factual statement about the past.

3. Based on the author's support and evidence, which of the following is a valid evaluation of the paragraph?

• A. It is an entertaining piece based on personal opinion.
• B. It is part of a historical account of the Great Emu War in Australia.
• C. It is a detailed analysis of military strategies during the Great Emu War.
• D. It is a scientific report on the impact of emus on the Australian ecosystem.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The paragraph provides a historical account of the Great Emu War in Australia, outlining the events, dates, and outcomes of the conflict between the Australian government and the emu population. It does not focus on personal opinion, military strategies, or the scientific impact of emus, making choice B the most accurate evaluation. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the content of the paragraph.

4. What does the 'nature of the fairy tale genre' refer to in Passage 2?

• A. The representation of basic human experience
• B. Good characters being pure good and bad characters being pure evil
• C. Different cultures coming up with similar versions of the same story
• D. Commoners becoming royalty

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The 'nature of the fairy tale genre' in Passage 2 refers to how fairy tales capture basic, fundamental human desires and fears, representing the most essential form of fictionalized human experience. This includes the portrayal of characters as purely good or purely evil, the celebration of themes such as romance and commoners becoming royalty, which all contribute to portraying basic human experiences in a symbolic and imaginative manner. The other choices are incorrect because while they may be elements present in fairy tales, they do not encompass the overarching concept of capturing basic human experiences as referred to in Passage 2.

5. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Saturday

Rationale: Based on the town's watering schedule, residents with addresses ending in 7 should water their lawns on Wednesdays. The Morgan family's address ends in 7, so they should set up their watering schedule for Wednesdays. Therefore, the correct answer is Wednesday. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they correspond to days designated for addresses ending in other numbers according to the town's schedule.
