1. Which of the following resources would help a reader gather information about economic trade during World War 1?

• A. News articles and textbooks
• B. Social media and photographs
• C. Atlases and works of art
• D. Almanacs and music

Correct answer: A

Rationale: News articles and textbooks would provide the most relevant historical data on economic trade during World War 1. During significant events like World War 1, news articles would have reported on the economic aspects, such as trade disruptions and policies. Textbooks that cover the period would also delve into the economic impacts of the war. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because social media, photographs, atlases, works of art, almanacs, and music are less likely to contain specific information about economic trade during World War 1. Social media did not exist during that time, photographs, atlases, works of art, almanacs, and music are more focused on visual, geographical, artistic, or general historical aspects rather than detailed economic data.

2. What is the purpose of the second passage?

• A. To inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed.
• B. To inform the reader about how assault is a minor example of lethal force.
• C. To disprove the previous passage concerning lethal force.
• D. To argue that the use of assault is more common than the use of lethal force.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The second passage aims to inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed. The passage discusses lethal force and provides an example where lethal force may be justifiable, but it does not compare assault to lethal force as in option B. It also does not aim to disprove the previous passage (option C) or argue that assault is more common than lethal force (option D). Therefore, the main purpose of the second passage is to educate the reader about assault.

3. Which of the following sources would be a good starting point that provides the most accurate information for a research project on ancient Persian culture?

• 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.

4. Which of the following lists the author’s actions in the correct sequence?

• A. The author looked at the house on Forest Road, then at a house with a yard that was too small, then at two houses that were too small, and then finally at a house that was too expensive.
• B. The author looked at the house on Forest Road, then at two houses that were too small, then at a house with a yard that was too small, and then finally at a house that was too expensive.
• C. The author looked at two homes with yards that were too small, then a house with only one bathroom, then a house that was too expensive, and then finally the house on Forest Road.
• D. The author looked at two homes that were too small, then a house with a yard that was too small, then a house that was too expensive, and then finally at the house on Forest Road.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct sequence of the author's actions based on the extract is as follows: the author looked at the house on Forest Road first, then two houses that were too small, followed by a house with a yard that was too small, and finally a house that was too expensive. Therefore, choice B correctly lists the author's actions in the given sequence. Choice A is incorrect as it reverses the order of the second and third houses visited. Choice C is incorrect as it includes a house with only one bathroom, which was not mentioned in the extract. Choice D is incorrect as it places the house on Forest Road last, whereas it was actually the first house visited.

5. Teddy has been assigned to write a history paper about the United States during the Cold War. What choice of three classes would likely be the most useful?

• A. 100, 300, 700
• B. 100, 300, 800
• C. 100, 400, 900
• D. 200, 300, 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the Dewey Decimal System, which is a library classification system, the subjects related to Chomsky's work, which touches on philosophy, social sciences, and history, fall under classes 100, 400, and 900. Therefore, these classes would be the most useful for Teddy's history paper about the United States during the Cold War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not include the specific classes related to the required subjects for Teddy's paper.
