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 most accurately describes how the argument proceeds?

• A. The argument proceeds by stating a conclusion, then providing supporting evidence.
• B. The argument proceeds by stating several facts and drawing a conclusion.
• C. The argument proceeds by offering a premise, then refuting it.
• D. The argument proceeds by making a comparison between two subjects.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The argument in the text proceeds by stating a conclusion ('Dwight is the best employee') and then providing supporting evidence ('The top salesman is always the best employee'). This aligns with choice A, where the argument is structured by stating a conclusion first and then offering supporting evidence. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the argument in the text does not simply present facts and draw a conclusion, offer a premise and then refute it, or make a comparison between two subjects.

3. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the passage?

• A. The Vikings disliked exploring the New World.
• B. Leif Erikson's banishment led to his exploration of Canada.
• C. Leif Erikson never shared his stories with the King of Norway.
• D. Historians have difficulty pinpointing events in Viking history.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. It can be inferred from the passage that historians have difficulty definitively pinpointing Viking historical events. The passage highlights the uncertainty around Leif Erikson's birth year, conflicting accounts of interactions with natives, and the lack of clarity regarding specific events in Viking history. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. There is no indication in the passage that the Vikings disliked exploring the New World; Leif Erikson's banishment did not directly lead to his exploration of Canada but rather his desire to spread Christianity and find new lands; and there is no mention of Leif Erikson not sharing his stories with the King of Norway.

4. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to learn more about the letters of the Greek alphabet and the meaning of the word 'beta'?

• A. 200
• B. 400
• C. 700
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Jorgen should go to section 400 in the library to learn more about the Greek alphabet and the meaning of the word 'beta'. Section 400 is dedicated to languages, which makes it the most appropriate place for this specific inquiry. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because section 200 is dedicated to religion, section 700 covers arts and recreation, and section 900 focuses on history, geography, and biography, none of which would provide information about the Greek alphabet or the word 'beta'.

5. Based on the information provided within the passage, which of the following can be inferred about King James II's son?

• A. Considering his resemblance to King James II, the young James was likely the legitimate child of the king and the queen.
• B. Given the queen's previous inability to produce a healthy child, there were suspicions about the prince's legitimacy by the English and the Lowland Scots.
• C. James 'the Pretender' was not as popular among the Highland clans as his son Bonnie Prince Charlie.
• D. James was unable to acquire the resources needed to build the army and plan the invasion that his son succeeded in doing.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage describes that the young James bore a strong resemblance to King James II, suggesting that he was likely the legitimate child of the king and the queen. This resemblance supports the inference that the young James was indeed their offspring. Choice B is incorrect because although there were suspicions about the prince's legitimacy, the passage does not mention these suspicions being based on the queen's previous inability to produce a healthy child. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not compare the popularity of James 'the Pretender' among the Highland clans to his son Bonnie Prince Charlie. Choice D is also incorrect as the passage does not mention James's inability to acquire resources for building an army or planning an invasion.
