1. What is the purpose of the second passage?

• A. To inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed.
• B. To inform the reader about how assault is a minor example of lethal force.
• C. To disprove the previous passage concerning lethal force.
• D. To argue that the use of assault is more common than the use of lethal force.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The second passage aims to inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed. The passage discusses lethal force and provides an example where lethal force may be justifiable, but it does not compare assault to lethal force as in option B. It also does not aim to disprove the previous passage (option C) or argue that assault is more common than lethal force (option D). Therefore, the main purpose of the second passage is to educate the reader about assault.

2. A student is starting a research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II, but she is unsure of how to gather relevant resources. Which of the following would be the most helpful advice for the student?

• 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-American culture encompassing various aspects 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 most effective way for the student to gather detailed and relevant resources for the research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II would be to search for specific references in library texts related to World War II. Option A suggesting a broad internet search might provide too much irrelevant information. Option B, consulting an American history textbook, may not offer in-depth coverage of internment camps specifically. Option C, focusing on Japanese culture aspects like fashion and politics, is not directly related to the research topic on internment camps.

3. Which of these cinemas does not have a suitable option for Thomas and his sister?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Only Twin Theatres does not offer a showing before 6 p.m. or after 10 p.m., which are the only times Thomas and his sister are available. The other cinemas - Reveler Cinema, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House - have showings that fall within their available time slots, making them viable options for Thomas and his sister. Therefore, Twin Theatres is the correct answer. Reveler Cinema has showings at 5:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., Big Screen 14 has showings at 6:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m., 9:10 p.m., and 10:05 p.m., and Best Seat in The House has showings at 8:20 p.m., 9:55 p.m., and 11:25 p.m.

4. Which of the following statements based on the passage should be considered an opinion?

• A. Julia’s boss asked her to help one of her coworkers with work.
• B. Julia was late to work due to traffic.
• C. It was irresponsible for Julia to leave work early.
• D. Julia was tired because she’d been woken up early.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The statement 'It was irresponsible for Julia to leave work early' is an opinion because it reflects a judgment or evaluation of Julia's actions, rather than stating a fact. The other statements (A, B, D) provide factual information about events that occurred in the passage. Option A states a fact about Julia being asked by her boss; option B explains the reason for Julia being late; option D provides a reason for Julia feeling tired. These are not opinions but rather statements of events or circumstances.

5. The guide words at the top of a dictionary page are considerable and conspicuous. Which of the following words is an entry on this page?

• A. consonantal
• B. consumption
• C. conserve
• D. conquistador

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is "C: conserve." In a dictionary page where the guide words are "considerable" and "conspicuous," the word "conserve" would be an entry as it falls alphabetically within those guide words. Choice A, "consonantal," starts with a different letter, so it would not be located between the guide words. Choice B, "consumption," also starts with a different letter and would not be between the guide words. Choice D, "conquistador," starts with a different letter and is also far from the guide words alphabetically, making it an incorrect entry on this particular page.
