1. Which of the following is not an example of something that the author of Passage 1 states might be found in a fairy tale?

• A. Trolls
• B. Witches
• C. Talking animals
• D. Giants

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The author of Passage 1 mentions trolls, elves, giants, and talking animals as examples of imaginary creatures found in fairy tales. However, witches are not specifically mentioned. Therefore, witches are not an example of something the author states might be found in a fairy tale in Passage 1. Choice B is the correct answer. Choice A, trolls, Choice C, talking animals, and Choice D, giants, are all examples provided by the author in the passage, making them incorrect answers.

2. In which of the following battles were there more Confederate casualties than Union casualties?

• A. Cold Harbor
• B. Chancellorsville
• C. Atlanta
• D. Shiloh

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Shiloh had more Confederate casualties than Union casualties. In the Battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862, the Confederates suffered around 10,700 casualties, while the Union forces had approximately 13,000 casualties. Therefore, Shiloh is the correct answer. Choice A, Cold Harbor, is incorrect because in that battle, the Confederate casualties were fewer than the Union casualties. Choices B and C, Chancellorsville and Atlanta respectively, also had more Union casualties than Confederate casualties, making them incorrect answers.

3. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to locate these works?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to Section 800 to locate The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. These works are literary masterpieces and would be categorized under literature in the library. While sections 100, 200, and 700 cover Philosophy and psychology, Religion, and Arts and recreation respectively, they are not the most suitable sections for finding works of literature like The Iliad and The Odyssey.

4. Among the following structural patterns in a paragraph, which does a writer use to show readers something instead of telling them something?

• A. Division
• B. Narration
• C. Definition
• D. Description

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The writer uses description as a structural pattern to show readers something instead of telling them. By vividly describing Thomas Jefferson, his life, achievements, and significance, the reader can form a mental image and understanding of who he was without being explicitly told. Description allows for a more engaging and immersive experience for the reader compared to being told facts directly. Choice A, 'Division,' involves breaking down a subject into parts for analysis and understanding, not necessarily showing something instead of telling it. Choice B, 'Narration,' is the act of telling a story or recounting events, which involves direct communication rather than showing through vivid details. Choice C, 'Definition,' is providing the meaning of something, which is informative but does not create a visual or immersive experience like description does.

5. Jorgen learns that Eratosthenes was fascinated by the story of the Trojan War and attempted to determine the exact dates when this event occurred. Unfamiliar with the story of the fall of Troy, Jorgen decides to look into writings such as The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to locate these works?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Section 800 features works of literature, making it the best place for Jorgen to find The Iliad and The Odyssey. While the philosophy and psychology section (100) might contain references to these works, Jorgen would still have to go to the literature section to obtain the works themselves, as they are literary works. Similarly, the religion section (200) and the arts and recreation section (700) are not where these specific literary works would be located.
