1. What most likely describes the relationship between the author and Alan?

• A. competitive
• B. formal
• C. friendly
• D. caring

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The most likely description of the relationship between the author and Alan is friendly. The author's message to Alan is filled with warmth, concern, and offers of help, indicating a positive and supportive tone. The use of phrases like 'I just wanted to drop you a quick note' and 'Let me know if you want any special treats' reflect a friendly and amicable relationship. Choices A, B, and D are not as suitable as competitive, formal, or caring relationships do not align as strongly with the friendly and supportive nature of the interaction described in the text.

2. 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.

3. What is the term for a solution with a pH value less than 7?

• A. Acidic
• B. Neutral
• C. Alkaline
• D. Basic

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Solutions with a pH less than 7 are classified as acidic. pH values below 7 indicate an acidic solution, which means it has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they describe neutral (pH 7), alkaline (pH greater than 7), and basic (another term for alkaline), respectively, which are not applicable to solutions with a pH less than 7.

4. Which property of matter refers to the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?

• A. Mass
• B. Weight
• C. Density
• D. Volume

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Weight.' Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, density is the mass per unit volume of a substance, and volume is the amount of space an object occupies. In this context, the question specifically asks for the property related to the force of gravity, making 'Weight' the correct choice. 'Mass' is the measure of the amount of matter in an object, 'Density' is the mass per unit volume of a substance, and 'Volume' is the space occupied by an object, none of which directly measure the force of gravity on an object.

5. A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $28.40. They wish to leave a 10% tip. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?

• A. $4.00
• B. $6.00
• C. $2.50
• D. $3.00

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate a 10% tip on a bill of $28.40, you would first find 10% of $28.40, which is $2.84. Since you typically round up when leaving a tip, the estimated gratuity would be $3.00. Option A is incorrect as it is too high for a 10% tip. Option B is incorrect as it is too high. Option C is incorrect as it is too low for a 10% tip. Therefore, the correct answer is $3.00.
