1. What is the definition of the word 'haunt' in the following passage? 'From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by street of shops.'

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Haunt' in this context means to visit a place frequently or persistently, which aligns with Mr. Utterson's actions of regularly going to the door in the by street of shops. The other choices are incorrect because 'levitate' means to rise or float in the air, 'terrorize' means to cause extreme fear, and 'daunt' means to make someone feel intimidated or apprehensive, none of which accurately reflect the meaning of 'haunt' in this context.

2. What can one infer about the meaning of the word 'Juggernaut' from the author's use of it in the passage?

• A. It is an apparition that appears at daybreak.
• B. It scares children.
• C. It is associated with space travel.
• D. Mr. Utterson finds it soothing.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The use of the word 'Juggernaut' in the passage describes a disturbing and terrifying figure that tramples a child in the narrator's dream, evoking fear and horror. The description of the 'human Juggernaut' treading the child down and passing on regardless of her screams conveys a sense of menace and cruelty associated with the term. This portrayal does not align with choices A, C, or D. Choice A about an apparition appearing at daybreak is not supported by the text; choice C regarding space travel is completely unrelated to the context; and choice D suggesting Mr. Utterson finds it soothing contradicts the fearful and unsettling depiction of the 'Juggernaut' in the passage. Therefore, option B, 'It scares children,' is the most accurate inference based on the author's use of the word in the text.

3. Based on the information in the announcement, what might the reader assume about how the university determined the lunch schedule?

• A. The university arranged the schedule based on the department with the most faculty members.
• B. The university checked with the departments to see when the majority of faculty members would be entering the canteen.
• C. The university checked to see when the most faculty members from each department would be entering the canteen.
• D. The university established different times for each department to reduce crowding in the canteen.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The university determined the lunch schedule by considering when the most faculty members from each department usually enter the canteen. This information is provided in the announcement where it states that the schedules were recommended based on when members of each department should visit the canteen for lunch. Choice A is incorrect because the schedule was not arranged solely based on the department with the most faculty members. Choice B is incorrect as it implies checking with departments about the majority of faculty members entering the canteen, which is not explicitly mentioned. Choice D is incorrect as it simplifies the university's decision-making process, which involved considering the timing of faculty members from different departments entering the canteen.

4. In which chapter should Clothilde look for more information?

• A. Chapter 7
• B. Chapter 9
• C. Chapter 10
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Clothilde should look for more information in Chapter 9, 'Herbs for Immunity,' as her sister's daughter has a chronic cough. Immune-boosting herbs may help strengthen the child's immune system and potentially alleviate the cough. Chapter 9 focuses on herbs that support immune health, making it the most relevant chapter for addressing a chronic cough related to immunity. Chapters 7, 10, and 12 do not specifically focus on immunity or respiratory conditions, making them less likely to provide the information Clothilde needs.

5. Which of the following sources is most likely to provide relevant data on the effects of mobile use on consumers' hearing?

• A. A consumer report about surcharges applied to customers' bills by mobile phone companies
• B. A professional journal article about the incidence of generic hearing loss
• C. A university research paper about decibel limits of headphones and speakers
• D. A statistical report of mobile phone usage by a mobile phone company

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The most relevant source for data on the effects of mobile use on consumers' hearing would be a university research paper about decibel limits of headphones and speakers. This source would provide specific information on how mobile use could potentially impact hearing due to the sound levels produced by headphones and speakers. Choice A discusses surcharges on bills, which is unrelated to hearing effects. Choice B focuses on the incidence of hearing loss in general, not specifically related to mobile use. Choice D, a statistical report on mobile phone usage, may not directly address the impact on consumers' hearing.
