• B. The author implies water and energy prices will rise sharply in the near future.
• C. The author implies global warming and the depletion of natural resources will continue.
• D. The author implies local farmers will lose their farms.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author implies that neglecting the recommended actions will lead to the continued degradation of the environment and depletion of resources. The passage emphasizes the importance of being proactive in conserving resources to combat global warming and the depletion of natural resources. Choice A is incorrect because the author doesn't specify a timeframe for running out of resources. Choice B is incorrect as the focus is on environmental impact rather than economic consequences. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not specifically mention the impact on local farmers.

2. Why was Lamarr's invention not of interest to the US?

• A. Hollywood was known to have spies
• B. The navy preferred to use the work of military engineers
• C. The military was too preoccupied to consider new inventions
• D. They suspected her patent was invalid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The US Navy preferred to utilize technology developed by military engineers rather than consider Lamarr's invention. Choice A is incorrect because Hollywood containing spies is not relevant to why the US was not interested in Lamarr's invention. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of the military being too preoccupied to consider new inventions in the provided context. Choice D is incorrect as there is no indication that the US suspected Lamarr's patent to be invalid; rather, the focus was on the navy's preference for technology developed by military engineers.

3. While researching Chomsky's many theories and arguments, Teddy became interested in post-World War II anarchism. Which section of the library is the most likely to contain the relevant books?

• A. 000
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since anarchism is a social science theory, it falls under the classification of social sciences in the Dewey Decimal System. Section 300 covers social sciences, making it the most suitable section for finding books related to post-World War II anarchism. Choice A (000 - Computer science), Choice B (200 - Religion), and Choice D (900 - History) are incorrect because they do not directly relate to social sciences where anarchism would be classified.

4. Which of the following could be considered a theme of the passage?

• A. Anyone can become royalty.
• B. People should only marry for advantage.
• C. Queen Victoria was a fair, but unlikely, queen.
• D. Even the most unlikely events can happen.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The theme of the passage revolves around the idea that even the most unlikely events can happen. The passage describes the improbable events leading to Queen Victoria becoming the queen, emphasizing how unpredictable and unexpected her rise to the throne was. Choice A is not supported as Victoria was born into royalty, so not just anyone can become royalty as implied. While there are mentions of marriages for advantage in the passage, it is not the central theme but rather a detail in the historical context, making choice B incorrect. Although the passage discusses Queen Victoria being an unlikely queen, this statement is too specific to be a theme; a theme should be broader and universally applicable, making choice C incorrect.

• A. Eleanor Roosevelt was a dedicated and compassionate individual.
• B. Eleanor Roosevelt was a skilled military strategist.
• C. Eleanor Roosevelt was the commander of the troops in the Pacific.
• D. Eleanor Roosevelt was a professional athlete.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The exhaustive description of Eleanor Roosevelt's activities during the war in the Pacific showcases her dedication and compassion towards the troops and wounded. She tirelessly visited multiple Islands, inspected hospitals, delivered speeches, attended receptions, and interacted with convalescing officers and patients. Her efforts to lift spirits, boost morale, and personally connect with the wounded illustrate her as a dedicated and compassionate individual. The other choices are incorrect as there is no mention of her being a military strategist, a commander of troops, or a professional athlete in the provided details.
