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. Which of the following lists the author’s actions in the correct sequence?

• A. The author looked at the house on Forest Road, then at a house with a yard that was too small, then at two houses that were too small, and then finally at a house that was too expensive.
• B. The author looked at the house on Forest Road, then at two houses that were too small, then at a house with a yard that was too small, and then finally at a house that was too expensive.
• C. The author looked at two homes with yards that were too small, then a house with only one bathroom, then a house that was too expensive, and then finally the house on Forest Road.
• D. The author looked at two homes that were too small, then a house with a yard that was too small, then a house that was too expensive, and then finally at the house on Forest Road.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct sequence of the author's actions based on the extract is as follows: the author looked at the house on Forest Road first, then two houses that were too small, followed by a house with a yard that was too small, and finally a house that was too expensive. Therefore, choice B correctly lists the author's actions in the given sequence. Choice A is incorrect as it reverses the order of the second and third houses visited. Choice C is incorrect as it includes a house with only one bathroom, which was not mentioned in the extract. Choice D is incorrect as it places the house on Forest Road last, whereas it was actually the first house visited.

3. Which of the following words does the author use to express a derogatory tone?

• A. Predictable
• B. Noisy
• C. Delicate
• D. Roar

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Predictable' because the author uses it in a negative context to imply something as uninspired or lacking creativity. In the passage, the author mentions that following rules can make writing difficult, contrasting writers who adhere to rules with those who break them to succeed. 'Predictable' reflects a derogatory tone as it suggests monotony or lack of originality. Choices B, C, and D do not convey a derogatory tone in the context of the passage. 'Noisy,' 'Delicate,' and 'Roar' are neutral or descriptive words that do not carry a negative connotation.

4. Which of the following is an opinion, rather than a historical fact, expressed by the author?

• A. Leif Erikson was definitely the son of Erik the Red.
• B. Leif Erikson's crew called the land Vinland.
• C. Leif Erikson deserves more credit for his accomplishments.
• D. Leif Erikson explored the Americas nearly five hundred years before Columbus.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The statement 'Leif Erikson deserves more credit for his accomplishments' is an opinion rather than a historical fact. Historical facts can be verified through evidence and documentation, while opinions are subjective viewpoints. Choices A, B, and D provide historical facts about Leif Erikson's lineage, the name given to the land he discovered, and his exploration, respectively, which can be supported by historical records and research.

5. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?

• A. to explain oral tradition
• B. to explain the importance of the printing press
• C. to explain the progressions of stories within society
• D. to introduce the essay

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The main purpose of paragraph 1 is to explain the progression of stories within society, from oral tradition to the impact of the printing press. It outlines how stories evolved over time, transitioning from oral storytelling to written material made widely available by the printing press. This paragraph serves as an introduction to the evolution of storytelling mediums throughout history, setting the stage for the subsequent discussion. Choices A and B are incorrect because the paragraph does not solely focus on explaining oral tradition or the importance of the printing press. Choice D is incorrect as the paragraph does not aim to introduce the essay but rather provide a historical context for the discussion on the evolution of storytelling.
