Rationale: The correct answer is A. The sentence 'With a running time of 98 minutes, the pacing is quick and efficient' includes a fact, which is the running time of the movie. This statement provides a concrete, verifiable detail from the passage. Choice B describes a subjective observation about the character's behavior, not a fact. Choice C expresses an opinion about the visual effect of the close-up shots, not a factual detail. Choice D offers an opinion about the movie's appeal to fans of a specific genre, rather than presenting a fact from the passage.

3. The phrase 'labyrinths of lamplighted city' contains an example of what?

• A. Hyperbole
• B. Simile
• C. Metaphor
• D. Alliteration

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Alliteration.' The phrase 'labyrinths of lamplighted city' uses alliteration by repeating the 'l' sound, creating a rhythmic and vivid image of a city illuminated by lamps. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words, and in this case, it enhances the description of the city in the reader's mind. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because there is no exaggeration (hyperbole), comparison using 'like' or 'as' (simile), or direct comparison without using 'like' or 'as' (metaphor) present in the phrase.

Choice A is incorrect as Washington's belief in liberty was not solely based on his background as a wealthy landholder but rather his experiences during the American Revolution. Choice B is incorrect as Washington lived in the 18th century and thus could not have been involved in WWII. Choice C is incorrect as although Alexander Hamilton helped draft Washington's farewell address, it doesn't mean Washington would not have been able to write it without him.
