1. 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.

2. Which of the following is a logical conclusion that can be drawn from the information in the passage above?

• A. Victor's long reign provided the opportunity for her to bring balance to England and right the wrongs that had occurred during the reigns of her uncles.
• B. It was the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta that motivated the remaining princes to marry and start families.
• C. The Duke of Kent had hoped for a son but was delighted with his good fortune in producing the surviving heir that his brothers had failed to produce.
• D. King William IV was unreasonably suspicious of the Duchess of Kent's motivations, as she cared only for her daughter's well-being.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage mentions that after the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta, the remaining princes considered marrying and starting families since her death left the succession undetermined. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not provide information about Victoria's reign bringing balance or righting any wrongs during her uncles' reigns. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of the Duke of Kent having a preference for a male heir or being disappointed with a female heir. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not give details about King William IV's suspicions towards the Duchess of Kent or her motivations.

3. Which of the following menu items fulfills her dietary requirements?

• A. Tofu-mushroom-spinach lasagna
• B. Veggie burger on a whole-grain bun
• C. Salmon with cream sauce
• D. Stuffed baked potato with vegetable soup

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, the tofu-mushroom-spinach lasagna. Mirella is an ovo-lacto vegetarian, meaning she eats eggs and dairy but avoids animal flesh. This dish meets her dietary requirements as it is a vegetarian option that contains tofu and cheese for protein. Additionally, since Mirella has a wheat allergy, she can choose a lasagna recipe with alternative noodles or omit noodles altogether. Choice B, the veggie burger, may contain wheat in the bun, which is not suitable for Mirella. Choice C, salmon with cream sauce, contains animal flesh and is not vegetarian. Choice D, stuffed baked potato with vegetable soup, may include wheat products in the soup, making it unsuitable for Mirella's wheat allergy.

4. The passage describes recent hurricane seasons as the most expensive on record. Which of the following statements gives the implied reason for this increased expense?

• A. Hurricane Katrina was an extremely violent storm.
• B. Valuable buildings were destroyed in New Orleans.
• C. The Atlantic Basin is entering an active period.
• D. Destruction of barrier islands and coastal wetlands has left the mainland exposed.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The destruction of barrier islands and coastal wetlands has left the mainland exposed, leading to increased damage and expenses from hurricanes. This implies a direct reason for the increased cost of recent hurricane seasons. The other choices do not directly address the reason for the increased expenses. Choice A talks about the intensity of Hurricane Katrina but does not explain the overall trend of increased expenses. Choice B mentions buildings being destroyed, which is a consequence rather than a reason for increased expenses. Choice C discusses an active period in the Atlantic Basin but does not connect it to the increased costs of hurricane seasons.

5. What can one reasonably conclude from the final comment of this passage? "If he be Mr. Hyde," he had thought, "I should be Mr. Seek."

• A. The speaker is considering a name change.
• B. The speaker is experiencing an identity crisis.
• C. The speaker has mistakenly been looking for the wrong person.
• D. The speaker intends to continue to look for Hyde.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The speaker's final comment implies that if the person is indeed Mr. Hyde, then the speaker would assume the role of Mr. Seek, indicating a determination to continue searching for Hyde. This suggests that the speaker intends to persist in their search for Hyde rather than giving up or changing direction. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because there is no indication in the passage that the speaker is considering a name change, experiencing an identity crisis, or mistakenly looking for the wrong person. The focus is on the speaker's resolve to find Mr. Hyde.
