2. Which of the following is a logical conclusion that can be derived from the announcement above?

• A. The library is planning to charge patrons for extended computer use to generate additional revenue.

Choice B is incorrect as the fee is not meant to encourage more efficient computer use but rather to limit the duration of use. Choice D is incorrect as the main goal of the fee is not to cover maintenance costs but to manage computer access.

Ethos (choice A) relates to ethical appeal, establishing credibility. Logos (choice B) refers to logical appeal, using reason and evidence.

• B. Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview.
• C. The Human Resources team may struggle to find a suitable candidate for the position of Lead Technician due to the high number of applications received.
• D. Mr. Morgan will patiently wait for further communication from the Human Resources team regarding his application for the position of Lead Technician.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage mentions that Mr. Morgan's application for the position of Lead Technician has been received, along with a higher-than-expected number of applications. It also states that the Human Resources team will take longer than previously stated to review candidates and schedule interviews. While there is no direct mention of Mr. Morgan's qualifications or the likelihood of him being offered an interview, it can be inferred that his interest in the position and the competitive application pool suggest that he is well qualified and stands a good chance of being offered an interview. Therefore, the most supported conclusion is that Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention the specific timeframe within which Mr. Morgan was informed about receiving feedback. Choice C is not directly supported by the passage as it does not indicate any challenges in finding a qualified candidate. Choice D is not directly addressed in the passage and is speculative.

• 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.
