1. How does the author organize the passage?

• A. heading and subheadings
• B. superscripts
• C. diagrams
• D. labels and footnotes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The author uses heading and subheadings to organize the passage. Each subheading focuses on either dairy (e.g., beverages, meals, snacks, dessert) or non-dairy options for obtaining more calcium from food. This organizational structure makes it easier for readers to identify and understand the different categories of tips provided within the text. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because superscripts, diagrams, labels, and footnotes are not used as organizational features in the passage; instead, headings and subheadings play a key role in structuring the information.

2. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes?

• A. 100
• B. 300
• C. 600
• D. 900

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 900 section of the library: History, geography, and biography to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes. Eratosthenes, an Ancient Greek mathematician and poet, is known for his contributions to geography and is considered the first person to calculate the circumference of the earth. Therefore, his works on early maps would be categorized under history and geography. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they correspond to Philosophy and psychology, Social sciences, and Technical and applied science respectively, which are not relevant to finding maps created by Eratosthenes.

3. According to the table above, how many more shirts were ordered in size medium than size small in the month of January?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The corrected question asks how many more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small in January. The table shows that two more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Two.' Choice A, 'One,' is incorrect as the comparison is between medium and small, not medium and large. Choices C and D, 'Three' and 'Four,' are incorrect as the actual difference is two as per the data provided in the table.

4. What role does humor play in Wilde's critique of the aristocracy?

• A. To soften the harshness of the critique and make it more palatable.
• B. To make the critique more pointed and direct.
• C. To critique the aristocracy without alienating the audience.
• D. To entertain the audience with humor, while delivering a serious message.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In Wilde's critique of the aristocracy, humor serves the purpose of critiquing without alienating the audience. By infusing humor into his work, Wilde can effectively highlight the flaws and absurdities of the upper classes while keeping the audience engaged and receptive. Option A is incorrect because the humor does not aim to soften the critique but rather to enhance its impact. Option B is incorrect as the humor in Wilde's work is not meant to make the critique more pointed and direct but rather more approachable. Option D is incorrect because while entertaining the audience, the primary function of humor in Wilde's critique is to provide a platform for social commentary without losing the audience's interest.

• 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.
