1. What would this author's attitude likely be towards a person unable to find employment?

• A. Descriptive
• B. Conciliatory
• C. Ingenuous
• D. Incredulous

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's likely attitude towards a person unable to find employment would be incredulous. The passage emphasizes the abundance of job opportunities in the United States and suggests that finding employment should not be difficult for those willing to work. The author believes that with the numerous avenues of success and available vocations, anyone who is willing to engage in a respectable occupation should be able to find lucrative employment. Therefore, the author would find it hard to believe or be skeptical towards someone who claims they cannot find a job. Choice A, 'Descriptive,' is incorrect as the author's attitude is more judgmental than just describing a situation. Choice B, 'Conciliatory,' is incorrect as the author does not show any intention to reconcile or make peace with the situation of unemployment. Choice C, 'Ingenuous,' is incorrect as this term means innocent or naive, which does not align with the author's likely attitude of disbelief towards unemployment.

2. Which word in the passage shows that the plunger is depressed and air is pushed out at the same time?

• A. Out
• B. Continued
• C. As
• D. Causes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: As.' In the provided extract, the word 'As' is used to indicate the simultaneous action of depressing the plunger and pushing out the air. It establishes a connection between the two actions, showing that they occur together. Choice A, 'Out,' refers to the result of pushing the air out, not the action happening simultaneously. Choice B, 'Continued,' suggests a subsequent action rather than a simultaneous one. Choice D, 'Causes,' indicates a cause-and-effect relationship, not the action happening simultaneously like the word 'As' does.

3. To which chapter should Regina turn if she needs to find out what to do if the car begins overheating?

• A. III
• B. IV
• C. VI
• D. I

Correct answer: C

Rationale: An overheating vehicle is considered an emergency situation, so Regina should refer to Chapter VI, which covers emergencies in the car owner's manual. Chapter III focuses on Audio, Climate, and Voice Controls, which is not relevant to an overheating car. Chapter IV discusses Pre-Driving and Driving, which does not address overheating. Chapter I pertains to Vehicle Instruments and is not the appropriate chapter for handling an overheating car.

4. Archie says, 'Northerners eat bland food.' The most precise definition of this statement is

• A. A stereotype
• B. An inference
• C. A bias
• D. A generalization

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: a stereotype. Archie's statement about Northerners eating bland food reflects a stereotype, which is an oversimplified and generalized belief about a particular group of people. This statement is not an inference because it is not based on evidence or reasoning. It is also not a bias, which is a preference or inclination that inhibits impartial judgment. While the statement could be seen as a generalization, it more specifically fits the definition of a stereotype due to its oversimplified and exaggerated nature.

5. Which of the following is the meaning of the word bestowed as it is used in the passage?

• A. purchased
• B. forgotten
• C. accepted
• D. given

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'bestowed' in this context means to be given or presented with something. In the passage, it is mentioned that good powers were bestowed upon different animals by Epimetheus. This implies that these powers were given or presented to the animals. Choice A, 'purchased,' does not align with the context of the passage as the animals did not buy or acquire these powers. Choice B, 'forgotten,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the act of giving. Choice C, 'accepted,' is also incorrect as it implies that the animals willingly received these powers, which is not the case in the passage. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D: given.'
