1. 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.

2. What was one of Hedy Lamarr's notable inventions?

• A. Improved traffic light
• B. Carbonated drink
• C. Radio-controlled torpedoes
• D. Frequency-hopping system

Correct answer: D

Rationale: One of Hedy Lamarr's notable inventions was the frequency-hopping system, which she developed during World War II to secure radio-controlled torpedoes. This system changed frequencies to prevent jamming by enemies. Lamarr's frequency-hopping technology laid the groundwork for modern technologies like cell phones, Bluetooth, and WiFi. Choices A and B are mentioned as some of Lamarr's failed inventions in the passage. Choice C refers to the military technology that inspired Lamarr's invention, not her invention itself.

3. Does the author imply that she believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good in U.S.-made movies?

• A. believes the hero should always appear to be morally worthy.
• B. believes the hero should never appear to be morally worthy.
• C. believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good.
• D. believes the hero is an uninteresting character.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author implies that she believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good in U.S.-made movies. This is evident from her claim that it is hard to find a movie that presents the hero as anything other than supremely morally worthy, suggesting a desire for more complexity and depth in the portrayal of the hero character. Choice A is incorrect because the author does not advocate for the hero always appearing morally worthy. Choice B is incorrect as the author does not suggest that the hero should never appear morally worthy. Choice D is incorrect as the author does not state that the hero is an uninteresting character, but rather emphasizes the need for a more nuanced portrayal.

4. 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.

5. 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.
