1. Which choice correctly matches these samples with incompletely met criteria?

• A. Sample 1's evidence is not sufficient; sample 2's evidence is not relevant; sample 3's evidence is not factual.
• B. Sample 1's evidence is not factual; sample 2's evidence is not sufficient; sample 3's evidence is not relevant.
• C. Sample 1's evidence is not relevant; sample 2's evidence is not factual; sample 3's evidence is not sufficient.
• D. The evidence of samples 1 and 3 is insufficient; sample 2's evidence is factual but irrelevant.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C correctly matches the samples with incompletely met criteria. It states that sample 1's evidence is not relevant, sample 2's evidence is not factual, and sample 3's evidence is not sufficient. This aligns with the criteria mentioned, indicating a lack of relevance, factual accuracy, and sufficiency in each sample, respectively. Choices A, B, and D do not accurately match the samples with the given criteria, making them incorrect. In choice A, while sample 1's evidence is not sufficient, sample 2's evidence is not relevant, and sample 3's evidence is not factual, the order in which these aspects are mentioned is not aligned with the criteria provided. Choice B has the correct order but mismatches the criteria with the samples. Choice D incorrectly assesses the evidence of the samples, focusing on sufficiency and relevance but not aligning with the specified criteria for each sample.

2. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?

• A. These cookies should be baked on a baking rack
• B. These cookies cannot be cooked in a microwave oven
• C. Folding in peanut butter must be done gently
• D. Beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct statement about the passage is that beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously. In the provided extract, it mentions 'Beat egg white until foamy. Stir in sugar, beat again until stiff peaks form.' This process of beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form requires vigorous stirring. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention using a baking rack for cooking the cookies. Choice B is incorrect as the passage provides instructions for baking the cookies in an oven. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not emphasize the need for gentle folding when mixing in the peanut butter.

3. Why do cicadas make a buzzing sound?

• A. To orient via echolocation
• B. To attract a mate
• C. To locate a food source
• D. To ward off predators

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Cicadas make a buzzing sound primarily to attract a mate. This sound is a mating call produced by the males to attract females for reproduction. While echolocation is used by some animals like bats for navigation, cicadas do not use buzzing for orientation. Buzzing is not related to locating a food source or warding off predators in the case of cicadas.

4. Which type of evidence is used in the passage?

• A. emotional evidence
• B. appeal to authority
• C. specific evidence
• D. rhetorical questioning

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage uses specific evidence to support its claims. It presents factual information about the impact of private tutoring on students' grades, including a comparison of GPAs between students who had different types of tutoring. This specific evidence strengthens the argument by providing concrete data and examples. Emotional evidence, appeal to authority, and rhetorical questioning are not used in this passage, as it primarily relies on data and analysis to make its case.

5. Which of the following most accurately describes the author's main conclusion?

• A. Leif Erikson is a legendary Viking explorer.
• B. Leif Erikson deserves more credit for exploring America.
• C. Spreading Christianity motivated Leif's expeditions.
• D. Leif Erikson contacted the natives nearly five hundred years before Columbus.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Leif Erikson deserves more credit for exploring America.' The author's main conclusion, as supported by the extract, is that Leif Erikson should receive more credit for his contributions in exploring the New World. Choice A is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of the author's conclusion, which is about recognizing Erikson's achievements rather than just labeling him as a legendary explorer. Choice C is incorrect because while Leif Erikson did convert to Christianity, the primary focus of the conclusion is on his exploration rather than his motivations. Choice D is incorrect as it only mentions one aspect of Erikson's achievements (contacting the natives) and does not encompass the broader idea of giving him more credit for his explorations.
