1. What can one reasonably conclude from the final comment of this passage? 'If he be Mr. Hyde,' he had thought, 'I should be Mr. Seek.'

• A. The speaker is considering changing names.
• B. The speaker is experiencing a determination to find Hyde.
• C. The speaker has mistakenly been looking for the wrong person.
• D. The speaker intends to continue to look for Hyde.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The speaker's final comment indicates a determination to keep looking for Hyde, as he expresses his intention to become 'Mr. Seek' if the other person is indeed 'Mr. Hyde.' This shows that the speaker is persistent in his search for Hyde, as he believes that discovering Hyde's identity could potentially unravel the mystery and clarify his friend's strange behavior. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the final comment does not imply a name change, an identity crisis, or a mistaken search but rather a firm decision to continue seeking out Hyde.

2. Follow these instructions in chronological order to transform the word into something new. What new word has been spelled?

• A. TON
• B. THIN
• C. TIN
• D. TAN

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To transform the word LOATHING into something new, we need to follow the instructions in chronological order, which is to remove letters. Starting with L-O-A-T-H-I-N-G, if we remove the letters in the order given, we are left with T-I-N, which spells the word 'TIN.' This makes choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D do not follow the specific sequence of removing letters from the original word LOATHING, so they are incorrect.

3. What would be the most helpful advice for the student starting a research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II?

• A. Conduct a broad internet search to get a wide view of the subject.
• B. Consult an American history textbook.
• C. Find websites about Japanese culture such as fashion and politics.
• D. Locate texts in the library related to World War II in America and look for references to internment camps in the index.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best advice for the student would be to locate texts in the library related to World War II in America and look for references to internment camps. This choice is the most appropriate as it focuses on accessing specific and credible sources directly related to the research topic. Choices A and C are too broad and may not provide in-depth information on the internment camps. Choice B, while related to American history, may not offer the specific details needed for the research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II.

4. In the context of the article, the word mortal means

• A. deadly.
• B. recoverable.
• C. fatal.
• D. dangerous.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the context of the article describing the assassination of President Lincoln, the word 'mortal' is used to describe a wound that will cause death. The sentence 'The wound is mortal' indicates that the wound is fatal and will result in the President's death. Therefore, the correct synonym for 'mortal' in this context is 'fatal,' meaning causing death. Choice A, 'deadly,' is the best synonym as it directly relates to causing death. Choices B and D, 'recoverable' and 'dangerous,' do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'mortal' in this context.

5. Based on the context, which of the following is the meaning of the word move in the passage?

• A. drive
• B. sell
• C. advance forward
• D. change location

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context provided, the word 'move' is used to indicate that the vehicles are 'marked to move quickly,' which implies that they are intended to be sold rapidly. Therefore, the correct meaning of 'move' in this context is 'sell.' Options A, C, and D do not accurately capture the intention of the word as it is used in the passage. While 'advance forward' (Option C) might seem plausible, the context of a sales event and the urgency to buy due to low prices indicate that 'sell' is the most fitting interpretation.
