1. Which of the following bones is not associated with the leg?

• A. femur
• B. tibia
• C. patella
• D. radius

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, radius. According to the passage, the radius is a bone in the lower arm, not in the leg. The femur, tibia, and patella are bones associated with the leg. The femur is the thigh bone, the tibia is the shin bone, and the patella is the kneecap. Therefore, the radius is the only bone among the options that is not associated with the leg.

2. Which of the following is not identified as a difference between the two authors?

• A. Malory wrote prose, while Tennyson wrote poetry.
• B. Malory wrote during the medieval era, while Tennyson wrote during the Victorian era.
• C. Malory was more focused on heroism and morality, while Tennyson was more focused on nature and elegy.
• D. Malory wrote stories about Gareth, Tristan, and Isolde, while Tennyson focused only on Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage explicitly mentions that Malory included chapters on knights such as Lancelot and Gareth, and he discussed the relationships between Tristan and Isolde, and Lancelot and Guinevere. This shows that Malory did focus on a wider range of characters beyond just Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere. Therefore, the difference mentioned in option D is not accurate as it is identified in the passage that Malory did write stories about Gareth, Tristan, and Isolde. Choices A, B, and C are all correctly identified as differences between the two authors based on the passage provided.

3. What is the main point of dispute between the politicians?

• A. Spending on social welfare programs increases the national debt.
• B. Certain classes of people rely on social welfare programs to meet their basic needs.
• C. Certain classes of people would be irreparably harmed if the country failed to provide a social welfare program.
• D. All of the country's leaders have bootstrapped their way to the top.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The main point of dispute between the conservative and liberal politicians is about whether certain classes of people rely on social welfare programs to meet their basic needs. The conservative politician believes that no citizens truly need government assistance and that it only makes things easier, while the liberal politician argues that various groups, such as immigrants, single mothers, and the elderly, require a safety net for basic necessities. Choice A is incorrect as it refers to the impact on national debt, which is not the primary point of dispute. Choice C is incorrect as it discusses the consequences of failing to provide social welfare programs, not the main point of disagreement. Choice D is irrelevant as it talks about the backgrounds of the country's leaders, which is not the focus of the dispute between the politicians.

4. Which best describes the final two sentences of the announcement?

• A. a friendly reminder to all faculty members to bring a badge when entering the canteen
• B. a word of caution to faculty members about trying to enter the canteen at the wrong time
• C. an implied suggestion that faculty members should consider getting lunch elsewhere
• D. an indication of university sanctions for faculty members who enter the canteen outside the schedule

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The final two sentences in the announcement serve as a word of caution to faculty members about trying to enter the canteen at the wrong time. It emphasizes the importance of respecting the given schedule and displaying a department badge before entering for lunch. The tone indicates a warning rather than simply a friendly reminder or a suggestion to eat elsewhere. Choice A is incorrect as the tone is more cautionary than friendly. Choice C is incorrect as there is no implied suggestion to get lunch elsewhere; instead, the focus is on following the recommended schedule. Choice D is incorrect as there is no mention of university sanctions, but rather a request to display a department badge and respect the designated lunch schedules.

5. Which of the following best describes the organization of the information in the passage?

• A. cause-effect
• B. chronological sequence
• C. problem-solution
• D. comparison-contrast

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage is organized in a chronological sequence, starting from the reign of King Charles II, proceeding to his death without a legitimate heir, the ascension of his brother James II, and the events that followed with the birth of James II's son and the subsequent fleeing of the family. The passage then covers the rejection of the young James as heir, the rise of the Jacobites, and the defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Each event is presented in the order in which they occurred. The other answer choices are incorrect: cause-effect implies a relationship of events leading to each other, problem-solution focuses on identifying issues and resolving them, and comparison-contrast involves highlighting similarities and differences between subjects, none of which are the primary organizational structure of the passage.
