1. Which of the following is NOT a way that theme is conveyed in nonfiction text?

• A. Through events
• B. Through word choice
• C. Through imagery
• D. Through meter

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Meter is a poetic device used in poetry to establish rhythm and rhyme, which is not typically found in nonfiction texts. In nonfiction, theme is often conveyed through events, word choice, and imagery. Events help illustrate the main ideas and messages, word choice influences the tone and mood of the text, and imagery enhances the descriptive elements. Therefore, meter, being more closely related to poetry, is not a common way to convey theme in nonfiction.

2. What is the librarian's best course of action in this situation?

• A. The librarian shows the student how to do an Internet search using Google
• B. Since the assignment is to read a biography, the librarian directs the student to the biography section of the library rather than to the Internet. She helps the student select a biography at his reading level
• C. The librarian directs the student to a database that will quickly provide a list of resources and articles pertaining to Thomas Jefferson
• D. The librarian searches her computerized records, decides that none of the biographies in her school library are appropriate for this student, and initiates an inter-library loan. The borrowed biography will take about two weeks to arrive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The librarian's best course of action in this situation is to direct the student to the biography section of the library because the assignment specifically requires the student to read a biography. By helping the student select a biography at his reading level, the librarian ensures that the student is staying on task and fulfilling the assignment requirements. This approach also encourages the student to engage with physical books rather than relying solely on the Internet for research. Choice A is incorrect because it deviates from the assignment's requirement of reading a biography. Choice C is not the best option as it overlooks the specificity of the assignment and may lead the student away from the required task. Choice D is not ideal as it involves a lengthy process of inter-library loan which may not be necessary if suitable biographies are available in the library.

3. Using the guide words degressive and delectation at the top of a dictionary page, which of the following words is most likely to appear on the following page of the dictionary?

• A. deleterious
• B. dehydrate
• C. delay
• D. deity

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The guide words degressive and delectation are given, suggesting that the word on the next page would start with 'dei.' In alphabetical order, 'deity' comes after 'delectation' and 'degressive,' making it the most likely word to appear on the following page of the dictionary. Choices A, B, and C do not follow the alphabetical progression based on the guide words provided.

4. During his study, Jenson finds himself increasingly drawn to information about the theaters of ancient Greece and particularly to the plays that the Greeks performed. What section of the library should he check next for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece?

• A. 200
• B. 600
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jenson should check section 800 for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece. Section 800 generally covers literature and includes works of literary criticism, which would likely have information on ancient Greek plays, playwrights, and theatrical practices. Choice A (200) is for Religion, not related to ancient Greek plays. Choice B (600) is for Technical and applied science, unrelated to literature. Choice C (700) is for Arts and recreation, more related to the performing arts but not specifically focused on written plays from ancient Greece.

5. Based on the scenario provided, which of the following inferences can be validly made?

• A. This director consistently produces unsuccessful movies.
• B. Movie reviews have no impact on the success of a film.
• C. The movie reviewers' assessments of the first movie were correct.
• D. The director's next movie will receive positive reviews.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer because the scenario indicates that the negative reviews of the first movie were accurate, as the subsequent poor performance of the movie aligns with the critics' assessments. Choices A and D are incorrect as the scenario only provides information about the first movie and its repercussions, not about the director's consistent performance or the future reception of their movies. Choice B is incorrect because the scenario clearly demonstrates that negative reviews had a significant impact on the movie's performance, contradicting the idea that movie reviews have no influence.
