1. Which of the following lines from the passage supports the inference that Hedy Lamarr worked earnestly to achieve her goals?

• A. She began starring in American films with MGM studios in the late 1930s and early 1940s
• B. She even spent time working with the science engineering team employed by Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon
• C. Her roles generally did not include very many spoken lines and she became bored
• D. ... but she did not allow that to stop her from teaching herself in her spare time.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, as it showcases Hedy Lamarr's determination and hard work towards achieving her goals. Despite facing challenges, such as not having many spoken lines in her roles, she persevered by teaching herself in her spare time. Choice A talks about her success in starring in American films but does not directly relate to her working earnestly. Choice B mentions her collaboration with Howard Hughes' science engineering team, which indicates involvement but not necessarily hard work towards personal goals. Choice C describes her becoming bored due to the lack of spoken lines in her roles and does not highlight her dedication and effort to achieve her aspirations.

2. Which best describes the meaning of the word decay as used in this passage?

• A. To decompose
• B. To shrink
• C. To wither
• D. To deteriorate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the context provided, 'decay' implies a gradual deterioration or breaking down over time. It does not specifically refer to decomposing, shrinking, or withering. Therefore, the correct answer is 'To deteriorate.' 'To decompose' is incorrect as it refers to the breakdown of organic matter, 'To shrink' is incorrect as it means to become smaller, and 'To wither' is incorrect as it means to dry up or wilt, none of which fully capture the meaning of decay in this context.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following is a logical conclusion based on the information provided within the passage?

• A. Like Elizabeth I, Charles II never married and thus never had children.
• B. The English people were relieved each time James II's wife Mary lost another child, as this reduced the chance of a Catholic monarch.
• C. Charles I's beheading had less to do with religion than with other political problems that England was facing.
• D. Unlike his son and grandsons, King James I had no Catholic leaning and was a faithful follower of the Protestant Church of England.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage indicates that Charles I's beheading had less to do with religion than with other political problems that England was facing. The author specifically states, 'Charles's own political that religion was less involved in this situation than in other situations.' This information supports the logical conclusion that the reasons for Charles I's beheading were more related to political issues rather than religious factors. Choice A is incorrect as the passage does not mention Charles II never marrying or having children. Choice B is incorrect as the passage focuses on the concerns regarding the Catholic succession, not the relief of losing children. Choice D is incorrect as the passage mainly discusses James II's Catholic leaning and the events related to the Catholic succession, but does not provide specific information about King James I's religious beliefs.

5. Which of the following senses do babies primarily rely on during their early development?

• A. vision
• B. hearing
• C. touch
• D. smell

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Babies primarily rely on the sense of touch during their early development. Their sense of touch is one of the first senses to develop, allowing them to explore and understand the world around them. Touch helps babies bond with caregivers, provides comfort, and facilitates learning about different textures and sensations. While vision, hearing, and smell are also important, touch plays a crucial role in infants' early development and communication. The provided extract explains that babies initially rely on hearing and later on vision, with touch being essential for early bonding and exploration, making it the primary sense in infancy.
