1. 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.

• C. With the invention of the Internet, reliance on books for information quickly changed
• D. Stories have been a part of the world since the beginning of recorded time

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Statement B is an opinion because it expresses a personal viewpoint about the act of reading and satisfaction related to different reading formats. The phrase 'just as satisfying to the reader' reflects subjective feelings and preferences rather than objective facts. Choices A, C, and D are not opinions but statements of fact. Choice A discusses the continued popularity of printed media despite the Internet's advancement. Choice C talks about the change in reliance on books due to the Internet. Choice D states the historical presence of stories in the world, which is a factual statement about the past.

• A. The ability to think
• B. A collective vote
• C. A definitive decision
• D. A mythological question

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'mind' in this context refers to a definitive decision or desire by the emperor. In the passage, the emperor had a specific intention or choice to entertain the narrator with country shows, indicating a clear decision rather than just the ability to think (Choice A), a collective vote (Choice B), or a mythological question (Choice D). The emperor's 'mind' here represents a deliberate and decisive plan to host the narrator for the country shows.

4. What is the meaning of testament as used in the sentence provided?

• A. story

In this case, it is used in a non-religious sense to indicate evidence or proof. The other choices are incorrect as 'story' does not fit the context, 'surprise' is not related to the owners' skills mentioned, and 'artifact' does not align with the discussion of the restaurant's success.

Choice C, an encyclopedia entry, may not necessarily have the most up-to-date or detailed information on the topic. Choice D, a social media post from a race car driver, lacks the credibility and detailed information that a government website can provide.
