Nursing Elites

1. Which detail from the passage best supports the conclusion that the little girl is no older than three years old?

• A. For lunch, she likes ham and cheese (torn into bites), yogurt, raisins, applesauce, peanut butter sandwiches in the fridge drawer, or any combo of these.
• B. It’s fine if you want to go somewhere, just leave us a note of where you are.
• C. As for nap, try after lunch. She may not sleep, but try anyway.
• D. Turn on music in her room, leave her in her crib with a dry diaper and bottle to try to sleep.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The detail from choice D, 'Turn on music in her room, leave her in her crib with a dry diaper and bottle to try to sleep,' best supports the conclusion that the little girl is no older than three years old. This detail suggests that the child is still using a crib for sleeping, a common practice for infants and toddlers. Additionally, the mention of a bottle indicates that the child is likely young, as older children typically do not use bottles for sleep. Choices A, B, and C do not provide specific details related to the child's age like the mention of a crib and a bottle does in choice D.

2. In which chapter should she look for more information on herbal remedies to combat eczema?

• A. Chapter 8
• B. Chapter 10
• C. Chapter 11
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Eczema is a topical condition, so Chapter 12 (section D) would be the most appropriate place to look for information on herbal remedies to combat it. Chapter 8 focuses on herbs for adult needs, and while it may contain some relevant information, it is not specific to topical conditions like eczema. Chapters 10 and 11 cover respiratory and digestive conditions respectively, which are not relevant to treating eczema. Therefore, Chapter 12 is the best choice for Clothilde to find herbal remedies to combat eczema.

3. Which of the following best describes the author’s purpose?

• A. The author wants to tell customers about the cars available at Carl’s Car Depot.
• B. The author wants to encourage other car dealerships to lower their prices.
• C. The author wants to provide new and used cars at affordable prices.
• D. The author wants to attract customers to Carl’s Car Depot.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's purpose is to attract customers to Carl's Car Depot. The text from the extract clearly emphasizes the one-day-only summer sale event at Carl’s Car Depot, highlighting the wide range of cars available at discounted prices with special financing options. The author aims to draw in potential customers by presenting compelling offers and creating a sense of urgency. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the primary focus is on attracting customers to Carl’s Car Depot by showcasing the available cars and the limited-time sale, not solely informing customers about the cars, urging other dealerships to lower prices, or generally providing affordable cars.

4. According to the food chain diagram, which of the following animals has no natural predators?

• A. Vulture
• B. Cobra
• C. Mongoose
• D. Aardvark

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Cobra. In the food chain diagram, cobras are often considered apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain and do not have natural predators. Vultures (choice A), although scavengers, may face competition but not direct predators. Mongooses (choice C) are known for preying on snakes, including cobras, and aardvarks (choice D) are part of the food chain and have predators like lions and hyenas.

5. What is the best summary of this passage?

• A. Humans can use coloration and markings on snakes to determine whether they’re venomous.
• B. Animals use coloration to hide from predators.
• C. The scarlet kingsnake and the coral snake have nearly identical markings.
• D. Venomous snakes often have bright markings, although nonvenomous snakes can also mimic those colors.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The best summary of the passage is that humans can use coloration and markings on snakes to determine whether they're venomous. The passage discusses how snake markings serve the purpose of warning predators and helping humans identify venomous snakes by their bright coloration. Choice B is incorrect because the passage focuses on how coloration helps snakes evade predators rather than hide from them. Choice C is incorrect as it only mentions two specific snakes with similar markings, which is a minor detail compared to the main point of identifying venomous snakes. Choice D is incorrect because it only partially reflects the passage, focusing solely on the relationship between markings and venom in snakes, missing the crucial aspect of human ability to discern venomous snakes based on their coloration.
