Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following additional pieces of information supports the claim that napping during the workday will help employees 'be happier, healthier, and more productive'?

• A. In 1999, National Napping Day was founded in response to Daylight Saving Time
• B. Rested people have better impulse control, so they are more likely to choose nutritious food over junk food
• C. Multiple companies have designed special seats or pods specifically for getting the optimal workplace nap
• D. A study showing that the best time of the day for a nap is between 2 and 3 p.m.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The statement that rested people have better impulse control supports the claim that napping during the workday can lead to employees being happier, healthier, and more productive. Improved impulse control can result in better decision-making, including choosing nutritious food over junk food, which contributes to overall well-being and productivity. Choices A, C, and D do not directly address the relationship between napping and improved well-being or productivity, making them less relevant to supporting the claim.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following best summarizes the central theme of Wilde's play?

• A. The absurdity of the British aristocracy and its social conventions.
• B. The importance of being sincere and honest in personal relationships.
• C. The dual nature of social standing and the conflicts it creates.
• D. The challenges of maintaining personal integrity in a hypocritical society.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The absurdity of the British aristocracy and its social conventions.' The central theme of Wilde's play, as revealed through satire, is the critique of the absurdities and trivialities of the British aristocracy. Wilde uses clever dialogue, puns, and irony to expose the superficiality and hypocrisy of the upper classes. While sincerity and honesty in personal relationships are explored in the play, they are not the central theme. Choice C, the dual nature of social standing and resulting conflicts, is a partial theme but not the central one. Choice D, the challenges of maintaining personal integrity in a hypocritical society, touches on a theme present in the play, but it is not as central as the critique of the British aristocracy's absurdities and social conventions.

5. What is the author's point of view?

• A. First person
• B. Third person limited
• C. Third person omniscient
• D. Objective

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage is told from a third person limited point of view because the thoughts and perspectives of two specific characters, Michael and Lana June, are presented. The narrator provides insight into their thoughts, but remains limited to their viewpoints without revealing the thoughts of any other characters. This extract demonstrates the limited perspective by showing the inner thoughts of Michael and Lana June, indicating a third person limited narrative. Third person omniscient would involve knowing the thoughts of all characters, which is not the case here. First person would involve using 'I' to narrate, which is absent. Objective point of view would present only observable actions without any character's thoughts or feelings, which is not the case in this passage.
