1. What text feature does the author use to organize the passage?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Headings and subheadings are commonly used text features that help organize a passage by signaling different sections or topics. In this case, the passage is organized with clear headings such as 'Dairy: Beverage,' 'Dairy: Meals,' 'Dairy: Snack,' and 'Dairy: Dessert.' These headings provide a structured layout, making it easier for readers to identify specific information within each category. Superscripts, diagrams, and labels and footnotes are not used in this passage for organizing content, making them incorrect choices.

2. Which of the following statements could NOT provide support for BOTH arguments?

• A. A number of local school districts have recently implemented dress codes.
• B. School administrators have been in talks with parents over the issue of uniforms.
• C. Students have reported that school uniforms are costly and typically ill-fitting.
• D. Several groups of students have been organized to discuss uniform dress codes.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the statement about the cost and fit of uniforms could only support the argument against uniforms, not both arguments. It aligns more with Vivian Harris's stance against uniforms, emphasizing the importance of clothing as a form of self-expression. Choices A, B, and D are more neutral statements that could provide support for both arguments by indicating actions being taken or discussions being held regarding uniforms without leaning towards a specific stance.

3. Which of the following is a logical conclusion that can be derived from the announcement above?

• A. The library is planning to charge patrons for extended computer use to generate additional revenue.
• B. The library is implementing the fee to encourage patrons to use the computers more efficiently.
• C. The library has added the fee to discourage patrons from spending too long on the computers.
• D. The library is aiming to cover the costs of maintaining the computers by charging patrons for extended use.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The fee imposed by the library is likely intended to discourage patrons from spending excessive time on the computers, ensuring fair usage of limited computer resources. This measure is implemented to promote equal access to all visitors. Choice A is incorrect because the purpose of the fee is not primarily to generate additional revenue but rather to regulate computer usage. Choice B is incorrect as the fee is not meant to encourage more efficient computer use but rather to limit the duration of use. Choice D is incorrect as the main goal of the fee is not to cover maintenance costs but to manage computer access.

4. 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.

5. This passage is mainly about

• A. slaves in the Civil War.
• B. how slaves escaped along the Underground Railroad.
• C. Harriet Tubman's role as an abolitionist leader.
• D. Harriet Tubman's life as a slave.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage is mainly about Harriet Tubman's role as an abolitionist leader. It discusses her efforts to help slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad and highlights her significant impact on the abolitionist movement. The focus is on Tubman's leadership and involvement in the fight against slavery, rather than just her life as a slave or the general experience of slaves during the Civil War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because while the passage mentions slavery, the Civil War, and Tubman's life as a slave, the primary emphasis is on her leadership and activism in the abolitionist movement.
