1. Based on the information provided, what is the most logical reason for the watering schedule having the same number for both Friday and Saturday?

• A. There are more addresses ending with these numbers than with the other numbers.
• B. All 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: C

Rationale: The most logical reason for the watering schedule having the same number for both Friday and Saturday is that the residents at addresses ending with these numbers are the most likely to consume more water. This indicates a trend in water consumption among residents at these specific addresses, leading to the need for consistent watering on both days. Choice A is incorrect as the number of addresses ending with specific numbers does not necessarily correlate with water consumption. Choice B is incorrect as there is no information suggesting that businesses consuming the most water have addresses ending with these numbers. Choice D is incorrect as there is no evidence to support that the city is more concerned about water usage specifically in the latter part of the week.

2. What is the definition of the word haunt in the following passage?

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'haunt' means to constantly visit a place. Mr. Utterson is repeatedly going over the details of the situation in his mind, engaging with the problem persistently, as seen in the passage. The word does not imply levitation, terrorizing, or daunting in this context, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

3. In a lesson on mass media, a teacher is showing commercials and analyzing their hidden messages. Which of the following is an example of a commercial that claims professional authority not supported by evidence?

• A. A commercial selling pain relief featuring a professional basketball player who says he uses the product
• B. A commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat
• C. A commercial for a new toy showing footage of children playing happily with it
• D. A commercial for a prepared food with testimonials by real consumers

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat is the correct answer. This commercial claims professional authority without providing any evidence of the narrator's credentials. While the man may appear to be a doctor with his coat, there is no proof that he is actually a medical professional or that the product is recommended by experts. This lack of evidence can mislead consumers by giving the product an air of legitimacy and credibility without factual support. Choices A, C, and D do not fit the criteria as they involve a professional athlete endorsing a product, children enjoying a toy, and real consumers providing testimonials respectively.

4. Which of the following guides would be the best for Raul?

• A. A Beginner's Guide to Giza (2015)
• B. The Life of Zahi Hawass (2014)
• C. A History of Hieroglyphics (2013)
• D. Who Built the Great Pyramids? (2015)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best guide for Raul would be 'Who Built the Great Pyramids?' as it focuses on the construction of the pyramids, providing detailed research on the topic. Choices A, B, and C are less relevant as they do not specifically address the construction of the pyramids. Choice A is about Giza in general, Choice B is a biography, and Choice C is about hieroglyphics, none of which directly relate to the construction of the pyramids.

5. What word best describes the author's attitude toward those who believe they understand money?

• A. Supportive
• B. Incriminating
• C. Excessive
• D. Patronizing

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's tone towards those who think they understand money is patronizing, as seen in the statement 'Many of my hearers may say, 'we understand this; this is economy, and we know economy is wealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also.' Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases of failure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other.' This conveys a sense of superiority and belittlement, making 'Patronizing' the best word to describe the author's attitude. - Choice A, 'Supportive,' is incorrect as the author is not expressing support but rather a critical view. - Choice B, 'Incriminating,' is incorrect as the author is not accusing or blaming those who believe they understand money. - Choice C, 'Excessive,' is incorrect as it does not capture the author's attitude of looking down on others' understanding of money.
