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 best summarizes the central theme of Wilde's play?

• A. The absurdity of the British aristocracy and its social conventions.
• B. The importance of being sincere and honest in personal relationships.
• C. The dual nature of social standing and the conflicts it creates.
• D. The challenges of maintaining personal integrity in a hypocritical society.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The absurdity of the British aristocracy and its social conventions.' The central theme of Wilde's play, as revealed through satire, is the critique of the absurdities and trivialities of the British aristocracy. Wilde uses clever dialogue, puns, and irony to expose the superficiality and hypocrisy of the upper classes. While sincerity and honesty in personal relationships are explored in the play, they are not the central theme. Choice C, the dual nature of social standing and resulting conflicts, is a partial theme but not the central one. Choice D, the challenges of maintaining personal integrity in a hypocritical society, touches on a theme present in the play, but it is not as central as the critique of the British aristocracy's absurdities and social conventions.

3. What information should the author include to help clarify information in the passage?

• A. The fat content of yogurt.
• B. How much calcium is in fortified juice.
• C. Which leafy greens contain calcium.
• D. The definition of lactose intolerance.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author should include information on the definition of lactose intolerance to help readers understand the need for lactose-free alternatives within the milk group. This clarification would provide context for why lactose-free options are recommended and help individuals make informed choices based on their dietary needs. Choices A, B, and C, although related to the topic of calcium-rich foods, do not directly address the issue of lactose intolerance and its implications for choosing suitable dairy alternatives.

4. Which of the following best captures the author’s purpose?

• A. to advocate for specific ideals and beliefs
• B. to discuss the role of skin coloration and markings in snakes
• C. to explain the influence of idealism on American social and political discourse
• D. to examine the impact of snake behavior on the ecosystem

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author's main purpose in the passage is to explain the influence of idealism on American social and political discourse. The passage discusses how idealistic viewpoints shape the discourse in America, advocating for specific ideals and beliefs (A) rather than explaining the beliefs of an idealist (B) or examining the impact of snake behavior on the ecosystem (D).

5. Assuming this statement is true, which of the answer choices is a logical conclusion?

• A. Whole language is more effective at teaching people to read than phonics.
• B. Phonics is more effective at teaching people to read than whole language.
• C. Literacy rates will probably continue to decline over the next 15 years.
• D. The definition of what it means to be literate is much stricter now.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If we consider the information provided in the extract that literacy rates were higher when phonics was predominantly used and have declined since whole language programs became more popular, it logically follows that phonics is more effective at teaching people to read than whole language. Choice A is incorrect as the extract suggests the opposite. Choice C cannot be concluded based on the information provided; it is an assumption beyond the scope of the data. Choice D is also unrelated to the information given and does not logically follow from the provided statement.
