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 tone of the passage?

• A. Witty
• B. Incredulous
• C. Aggressive
• D. Tense

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Witty.' The tone of the passage is light-hearted and humorous, characterized by amusing details like the eccentric birthday party with zebras, monster trucks, and a limited buffet of boiled asparagus and pickled carrots. The mention of Dr. Creekstone planning an even bigger party with more zebras adds to the whimsical and humorous tone. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as there is no indication of disbelief, hostility, or anxiety in the passage; instead, it conveys a sense of fun and amusement.

3. What was the author's purpose in writing this passage about George Washington?

• A. To inform readers about Washington's advice and its relevance to modern times.
• B. To introduce George Washington as a historical figure.
• C. To emphasize that George Washington had a multifaceted role beyond being a military hero.
• D. To persuade readers that George Washington is a hero of liberty.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'To inform readers about Washington's advice and its relevance to modern times.' The passage focuses on Washington's advice, leadership, and legacy, particularly his farewell address, highlighting its significance in current times. This choice accurately reflects the primary purpose of the passage. Choice B is incorrect because the passage goes beyond mere introduction, delving into Washington's actions and beliefs. Choice C is incorrect as while the passage does mention Washington's multifaceted role, the primary focus is on his advice and legacy. Choice D is incorrect because the passage does not aim to persuade readers of Washington's heroism but rather inform them about his advice and principles.

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. According to the timeline, which of the following events happens second?

• A. Barton works as a federal patent clerk
• B. Barton travels to Europe
• C. Barton identifies anonymous soldiers
• D. Barton works on the frontlines of the Civil War

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Based on the timeline provided, Barton working on the frontlines of the Civil War is the second event to occur. This event happened after her work as a patent clerk but before other events. Barton's travel to Europe and identification of anonymous soldiers happened after her service on the frontlines of the Civil War, making them later events in the timeline.
