Nursing Elites

1. 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.

2. What is the word 'principal' referring to in the following text?

• A. Primary or chief
• B. An acolyte
• C. An individual who provides nurturing
• D. One in a subordinate position

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the provided text, 'principal' is referring to the primary or chief individual. The principal secretary for private affairs is considered second only to the treasurer, indicating a position of high importance. The term 'acolyte' (Choice B) refers to a ceremonial assistant, which does not fit the context. 'An individual who provides nurturing' (Choice C) and 'One in a subordinate position' (Choice D) do not accurately describe the role of the 'principal' in the text.

3. What is implied by the following sentence? It is hoped the wounds may not be mortal. My apprehension is that they will prove fatal.

• A. Those involved are hopeful for a positive outcome.
• B. There is no hope that Seward or Lincoln will recover from their wounds.
• C. The writer is pessimistic about whether Seward will recover from his wounds.
• D. The writer is doubtful about the legitimacy of accounts regarding the night's events.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'My apprehension is that they will prove fatal' indicates that the writer is pessimistic about Seward's recovery from his wounds. This implies a lack of hope or certainty about the outcome, suggesting a negative view on the situation. Choice A is incorrect because the sentence does not refer to all involved parties being hopeful. Choice B is incorrect as it is too extreme, stating there is no hope for recovery. Choice D is incorrect as there is no indication in the sentence that the writer doubts the legitimacy of the accounts.

4. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Saturday

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Based on the town's watering schedule, residents with addresses ending in 7 should water their lawns on Wednesdays. The Morgan family's address ends in 7, so they should set up their watering schedule for Wednesdays. Therefore, the correct answer is Wednesday. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they correspond to days designated for addresses ending in other numbers according to the town's schedule.

5. After an unexpected rearrangement of their schedules, Thomas and his sister realize that they will have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since Thomas and his sister have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m., they need to watch the film later in the evening. Among the options, Reveler Cinema offers showtimes after 10 p.m. with a showing at 7:15 p.m., making it the best choice. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House do not have showtimes after 10 p.m., making Reveler Cinema the most suitable option for the siblings to catch a film at that time.
