• A. Make logical assumptions based on contextual clues
• B. Independently navigate various types of text
• C. Summarize a text's main idea
• D. Paraphrase a text's main idea

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When students use inference, they are able to make logical assumptions based on contextual clues found in the text. This involves reading between the lines and drawing conclusions that are not explicitly stated. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to the skill of navigating through different types of text independently, which is not specifically related to inference. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they refer to summarizing and paraphrasing a text's main idea, which are different skills from making inferences.

2. Which of the following senses do babies primarily rely on during their early development?

• A. vision
• B. hearing
• C. touch
• D. smell

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Babies primarily rely on the sense of touch during their early development. Their sense of touch is one of the first senses to develop, allowing them to explore and understand the world around them. Touch helps babies bond with caregivers, provides comfort, and facilitates learning about different textures and sensations. While vision, hearing, and smell are also important, touch plays a crucial role in infants' early development and communication. The provided extract explains that babies initially rely on hearing and later on vision, with touch being essential for early bonding and exploration, making it the primary sense in infancy.

3. The Morgan family lives at 5487 South Elm Street. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Saturday

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the provided water schedule for addresses in the town of Audley, odd-numbered addresses ending in 7 and 3, like 5487 South Elm Street, are allowed to water their lawns on Thursdays. Therefore, the Morgan family will be able to water their lawn on Thursday. Choice A (Tuesday), Choice B (Wednesday), and Choice D (Saturday) are incorrect as they do not align with the watering schedule for odd-numbered addresses as per the town's guidelines.

4. Based on Gemma's preferences and limited time, which of the following travel guides will be best for her?

• A. Exploring the Hawaiian Islands: The Best Waterfalls on the Big Island and Maui
• B. Na Pali: The Two-Day Hike That Changes Everything
• C. Pineapples, Taro, and Roasted Pigs: A Dining Guide to Hawaii
• D. The Top Ten: Beaches, Restaurants, and Sightseeing in Honolulu and on Oahu

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Given Gemma's goal of seeing as much as possible in a short time while enjoying outdoor activities and nature, the best travel guide for her would be 'Exploring the Hawaiian Islands: The Best Waterfalls on the Big Island and Maui.' This guide aligns with her interest in outdoor activities and waterfalls, making it the ideal choice to enhance her trip experience. Choice B, 'Na Pali: The Two-Day Hike That Changes Everything,' focuses on a specific hike and may not cover a broad range of attractions Gemma wants to explore. Choice C, 'Pineapples, Taro, and Roasted Pigs: A Dining Guide to Hawaii,' is more food-oriented and doesn't cater to Gemma's interest in outdoor activities. Choice D, 'The Top Ten: Beaches, Restaurants, and Sightseeing in Honolulu and on Oahu,' while offering a variety of attractions, doesn't specifically target Gemma's interest in exploring waterfalls and the natural beauty of Hawaii as she desires.

• C. The close-up shots feel claustrophobic like the perspective is skewed.'
• D. This is a tense thrill ride that will not disappoint fans of Joy Taylor or this genre in general.'

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The sentence 'With a running time of 98 minutes, the pacing is quick and efficient' includes a fact, which is the running time of the movie. This statement provides a concrete, verifiable detail from the passage. Choice B describes a subjective observation about the character's behavior, not a fact. Choice C expresses an opinion about the visual effect of the close-up shots, not a factual detail. Choice D offers an opinion about the movie's appeal to fans of a specific genre, rather than presenting a fact from the passage.
