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. What is the meaning of the word deceptive as it is used in the fifth paragraph?

• A. misleading
• B. malicious
• C. illegal
• D. irritating

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context of the fifth paragraph, the word 'deceptive' is used to describe actions that are misleading or giving a false impression. It does not directly imply malice, illegality, or irritation, but rather that the actions are meant to mislead or deceive others. Choice A is correct as it aligns with the definition of 'deceptive' in this context. Choice B, 'malicious,' implies a deliberate intent to harm, which is not necessarily conveyed by the term 'deceptive' in this paragraph. Choice C, 'illegal,' does not capture the essence of misleading actions without specifically addressing the legality aspect. Choice D, 'irritating,' is unrelated to the meaning of 'deceptive' as used in this context.

3. What is the best definition of economy as it is used in this passage?

• A. Exchange of money, goods, and services
• B. Delegation of household affairs
• C. Efficient money management
• D. Less expensive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct definition of 'economy' in this passage is 'efficient money management.' The passage emphasizes the importance of expending less than what is earned, which is a key aspect of efficient money management. Choice A, 'Exchange of money, goods, and services,' is too broad and does not capture the essence of the passage. Choice B, 'Delegation of household affairs,' is not directly related to the context of the passage. Choice D, 'Less expensive,' does not encompass the concept of managing money efficiently as discussed in the passage.

4. Which of the following best provides detailed support for the claim that 'seatbelts save lives'?

• A. A government website containing driving accident information
• B. A blog developed by one of the largest car companies in the world
• C. An encyclopedia entry on the seatbelt and its development
• D. A social media post from a famous race car driver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Government websites usually contain reliable and detailed statistics supporting the effectiveness of seatbelts. Choice B, a blog from a car company, may have biased information to promote their products. Choice C, an encyclopedia entry, may not necessarily have the most up-to-date or detailed information on the topic. Choice D, a social media post from a race car driver, lacks the credibility and detailed information that a government website can provide.

5. The speaker addresses his audience as 'My Good Friends.' What kind of credibility does this salutation give to the speaker?

• A. The speaker is an employer addressing his employees, so the salutation is a way to bridge the gap between himself and his employees.
• B. The speaker's salutation is one from an entertainer to his audience, using friendly language to connect before a serious speech.
• C. The salutation gives the serious speech that follows a somber tone, as it is used ironically.
• D. The speech is one from a politician to the public, so the salutation is used to grab the audience's attention.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The speaker's address of 'My Good Friends' implies a sense of warmth and familiarity, indicating that the speaker wants to establish a connection with the audience before delivering a serious speech. This type of salutation is often used by entertainers to engage the audience and create a friendly atmosphere conducive to effective communication. Choice A is incorrect because there is no indication of an employer-employee relationship. Choice C is incorrect as there is no indication of irony in the salutation. Choice D is incorrect as the salutation aims to create a connection rather than grab attention as a politician might.
