1. 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.
• B. The library is implementing the fee to encourage patrons to use the computers more efficiently.
• C. The library has added the fee to discourage patrons from spending too long on the computers.
• D. The library is aiming to cover the costs of maintaining the computers by charging patrons for extended use.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The fee imposed by the library is likely intended to discourage patrons from spending excessive time on the computers, ensuring fair usage of limited computer resources. This measure is implemented to promote equal access to all visitors. Choice A is incorrect because the purpose of the fee is not primarily to generate additional revenue but rather to regulate computer usage. 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.

2. Which of the following is an example of a secondary source that would be used in a documentary about World War I?

• A. an essay by a historian about the lasting effects of the war
• B. photographs of military equipment used in the war
• C. a recorded interview with a veteran who fought for the US Army
• D. letters written by soldiers to their families

Correct answer: A

Rationale: An essay by a historian about the lasting effects of the war is an example of a secondary source as it provides analysis and interpretation of primary sources like official documents, photographs, and letters. It offers a perspective that is based on research and not directly involved in the events, making it a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of World War I. Choice B, photographs of military equipment, is a primary source as it provides direct visual evidence from the time period. Choice C, a recorded interview with a veteran, is also a primary source as it offers firsthand accounts from someone directly involved in the events. Choice D, letters written by soldiers, are primary sources that offer insights into the personal experiences of individuals during the war.

3. On what point would the authors of both passages agree?

• A. Fairy tales have a common origin.
• B. The same fairy tale may develop independently in different cultures.
• C. There are often common elements in fairy tales from various cultures.
• D. Fairy tales depict basic human fears.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Both authors in the passages agree that fairy tales, despite originating from different cultures, often contain similar elements such as magical occurrences, mythical creatures, and fundamental human desires and fears. This suggests that there are frequent common elements found in fairy tales across different cultures. Choice A is incorrect because the authors do not specifically mention a single common origin for all fairy tales. Choice B is incorrect as the passages emphasize that similar versions of fairy tales can be found in various cultures, rather than developing independently. Choice D is incorrect as while one passage discusses how fairy tales capture basic human fears, the other passage focuses on a broader spectrum of common elements beyond fears.

4. Which of the following statements is an opinion?

• A. Despite the progression of the Internet, printed media was still very popular in the forms of both fiction and non-fiction books
• B. Although some people may say that the act of reading is not complete without turning a page, sliding a finger across the screen, or pressing a button to read more onto the next page is just as satisfying to the reader
• C. With the invention of the Internet, reliance on books for information quickly changed
• D. Stories have been a part of the world since the beginning of recorded time

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Statement B is an opinion because it expresses a personal viewpoint about the act of reading and satisfaction related to different reading formats. The phrase 'just as satisfying to the reader' reflects subjective feelings and preferences rather than objective facts. Choices A, C, and D are not opinions but statements of fact. Choice A discusses the continued popularity of printed media despite the Internet's advancement. Choice C talks about the change in reliance on books due to the Internet. Choice D states the historical presence of stories in the world, which is a factual statement about the past.

5. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes?

• A. 100
• B. 300
• C. 600
• D. 900

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 900 section of the library: History, geography, and biography to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes. Eratosthenes, an Ancient Greek mathematician and poet, is known for his contributions to geography and is considered the first person to calculate the circumference of the earth. Therefore, his works on early maps would be categorized under history and geography. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they correspond to Philosophy and psychology, Social sciences, and Technical and applied science respectively, which are not relevant to finding maps created by Eratosthenes.
