1. Which of the following lists Julia’s actions in the correct sequence?

• A. Julia woke up early and found she didn’t have any regular coffee. When she got to work, her boss had a lot for her to do. When the fire alarm went off, she decided to go home.
• B. Julia got to work and decided she was too tired to do the work her boss asked for, so she went home to get a cup of coffee.
• C. Julia woke up when the fire alarm went off and couldn’t get back to sleep. She then got stuck in traffic and arrived at work thirty minutes late.
• D. Julia was woken up early by a lawnmower and then got stuck in traffic on the way to her office. Once there, she found that the office was out of coffee and she had a lot of work to do. When the fire alarm went off, she decided to go home.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Option D provides a sequence of events that align with the extract provided. Julia was woken up early by a lawnmower, couldn't go back to sleep, discovered she was out of regular coffee, got stuck in traffic on the way to work, found the office was out of coffee, had a lot of work to do, and decided to go home when the fire alarm went off. This sequence accurately reflects the chronological order of Julia's actions throughout the day. Choices A, B, and C do not follow a logical sequence of events based on the extract, making them incorrect.

2. Based on the information provided, what is the most logical reason for the watering schedule having the same number for both Friday and Saturday?

• A. There are more addresses ending with these numbers than with the other numbers.
• B. All businesses have addresses ending in these numbers, and they consume the most water.
• C. The residents at these addresses are the most likely to consume more water.
• D. The city is more concerned about water usage in the latter part of the week.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The most logical reason for the watering schedule having the same number for both Friday and Saturday is that the residents at addresses ending with these numbers are the most likely to consume more water. This indicates a trend in water consumption among residents at these specific addresses, leading to the need for consistent watering on both days. Choice A is incorrect as the number of addresses ending with specific numbers does not necessarily correlate with water consumption. Choice B is incorrect as there is no information suggesting that businesses consuming the most water have addresses ending with these numbers. Choice D is incorrect as there is no evidence to support that the city is more concerned about water usage specifically in the latter part of the week.

3. Based on the context of the passage, the reader can infer that this information is likely to appear in which of the following types of works?

• A. A scholarly biography
• B. A mystery novel
• C. A fictional story
• D. A biography

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage provides a detailed historical account of Queen Victoria's lineage, ascension to the throne, and reign, making it suitable for a biography. The passage focuses on presenting factual information about Queen Victoria's life rather than analyzing it, which aligns more with a biography than a scholarly paper. It does not contain elements of mystery or fiction, as it recounts historical events and real-life figures. Therefore, a biography is the most appropriate choice based on the content and style of the passage.

4. Based upon the contextual evidence provided in the passage above, what is the meaning of the term enterprise in the third paragraph?

• A. Company
• B. Courage
• C. Game
• D. Cause

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the third paragraph, the term 'enterprise' is used in the context of a group of travelers embarking on a journey together. In this context, 'enterprise' refers to a company or a group of people rather than courage, game, or cause. The word 'enterprise' is commonly used to denote a business organization or company, aligning with the idea of a group traveling together for a common purpose. 'Courage' and 'cause' do not fit the context of the travelers' journey, and 'game' is unrelated to the activities described in the passage.

5. What is the purpose of the use of repetition in the following passage? It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions.

• A. It serves as a demonstration of Mr. Lanyon's mental state.
• B. It highlights the church bells mentioned in the story.
• C. It reflects Mr. Utterson's ambivalence.
• D. It emphasizes Mr. Utterson's anguish in failing to identify Hyde's whereabouts.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The repetition in the passage emphasizes Mr. Utterson's mental struggle and persistence as he grapples with his thoughts and questions. It conveys the intensity of his anguish and frustration in trying to identify Hyde's whereabouts, rather than reflecting Mr. Lanyon's or Mr. Utterson's ambivalence. The mention of church bells is not relevant to the passage, making choice B incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as the repetition underscores Mr. Utterson's emotional turmoil and his desperate search for answers.
