• A. story
• B. surprise
• C. artifact
• D. evidence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the context provided, the word 'testament' most likely refers to evidence. A testament can be something that serves as proof or confirmation of a fact or situation. In this case, it is used in a non-religious sense to indicate evidence or proof. The other choices are incorrect as 'story' does not fit the context, 'surprise' is not related to the owners' skills mentioned, and 'artifact' does not align with the discussion of the restaurant's success.

• A. Students should be allowed to express themselves through their apparel.
• B. Schools should give students a certain amount of respect.
• C. Students should focus more on school than on their appearance.
• D. Schools would violate students' basic rights by enforcing a dress code.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Both Lisa Grant and Vivian Harris express the idea that schools should give students a certain amount of respect. Lisa Grant believes that wearing uniforms would help students respect each other based on ideas and character rather than appearance. Vivian Harris, on the other hand, argues against uniforms, emphasizing that clothing is crucial for self-expression and taking it away suppresses students' rights. However, at the core of both their arguments is the underlying theme of advocating for respect towards students.

• A. The Wikipedia entry on 'Persian Culture'
• B. 'All Cool Persian Stuff,' a blog written by a scientist
• C. 'An Overview of Persian Society,' a book written by a historian
• D. 'Uncovering the Secrets of Persia,' a two-page magazine article about lost temples

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A book written by a historian, such as 'An Overview of Persian Society,' would provide a well-researched and reliable source of information on ancient Persian culture. Choice A, the Wikipedia entry, may contain inaccurate or biased information as it can be edited by anyone. Choice B, a blog by a scientist, may not provide scholarly or comprehensive information on ancient Persian culture. Choice D, a magazine article about lost temples, does not focus on Persian culture as a whole, making it less relevant for a research project specifically on ancient Persian culture.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage provided talks about the cyclical nature of going to the theatre and how it transports individuals into different stories. There is no mention of global aspects, inspirational qualities, or inapplicability related to cicadas and public interest in cicadas. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not supported by the passage.
