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 option best describes the use of the spider in the poem?

• A. Idiom
• B. Haiku
• C. ABBA rhyming convention
• D. Simile

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Simile.' In the poem, the speaker compares the spider to an artist using 'as,' indicating a simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using 'like' or 'as.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. An idiom is a phrase with a figurative meaning different from its literal meaning, a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, and ABBA rhyming convention refers to a specific rhyme scheme commonly found in poetry, none of which apply to the comparison of the spider to an artist in the poem.

3. Which of the following is true about calcium-rich foods? I. Canned salmon with bones contains calcium. II. Cheese is a lactose-free food. III. Condensed soup made with water is a calcium-rich food.

• A. I only
• B. I and II only
• C. II and III only
• D. III only

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'I only.' Canned salmon with bones contains calcium as the bones are a good source of calcium, making statement I true. However, statement II is false as cheese is not a lactose-free food. Statement III is also incorrect as condensed soup made with water is not necessarily a calcium-rich food. Other calcium-rich options include dairy products like milk, yogurt, and specific non-dairy products like calcium-fortified juices, canned fish with bones, soybeans, and leafy greens.

4. During her research, Lise discovers that Freud's theory of the Oedipal complex was based on ancient Greek mythology that was made famous by Sophocles' play Oedipus Rex. To which section of the library should she go if she is interested in reading the play?

• A. 300
• B. 400
• C. 800
• D. 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 800. Greek mythology and literature are typically found in section 800 of the library classification system, which includes works like Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. Choice A (300) pertains to social sciences, choice B (400) covers languages, and choice D (900) focuses on history, geography, and biography, making them incorrect for finding a play like Oedipus Rex.

5. Which of the following describes the structure of the above passage?

• A. problem-solution
• B. sequence
• C. comparison-contrast
• D. cause-effect

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'comparison-contrast.' Throughout the passage, the author compares and contrasts the Arthurian writings of Malory and Tennyson, highlighting the differences and similarities between their approaches to the Arthurian legends. The structure of the passage is focused on contrasting Malory's prose style and moral elements with Tennyson's poetic and romantic approach, making it a clear comparison-contrast. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. The passage does not present a problem and its solution, follow a strict sequence of events, or outline cause-effect relationships; instead, it emphasizes the differences and similarities between the two authors' interpretations of the Arthurian stories.
