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. Which of the following is part of the world view, with which we may not agree, that the author implies we might absorb from these movies if we're careless and unquestioning:

• A. Enemies of the U.S. do not ever fight for legitimate causes.
• B. The community is morally bankrupt.
• C. The U.S. is complex.
• D. The U.S. is not skilled at warfare.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Throughout the text, the author discusses how American war movies often portray U.S. enemies as lacking legitimate causes. This portrayal can lead to a simplistic view of global conflicts and perpetuate stereotypes. Choice B is incorrect as the text does not discuss the community being morally bankrupt. Choice C is incorrect as the focus is not on the complexity of the U.S. but on the portrayal of enemies and heroes. Choice D is incorrect as the text actually mentions that the hero in the movies is highly skilled at warfare.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following words are synonyms for 'erroneously' as used in the passage?

• A. Correctly
• B. Inconsequentially
• C. Mistakenly
• D. Extraneously

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Erroneously' means incorrectly or mistakenly, which aligns with the context provided in the passage. Therefore, 'Incorrectly' and 'Mistakenly' are synonyms for 'erroneously.' 'Inconsequentially' means not resulting in any significant consequence, which is not synonymous with 'erroneously.' 'Extraneously' means irrelevant or unnecessary, which is also not a synonym for 'erroneously.'

5. Raoul has an upcoming school project, and his own computer is not working. He needs to use the library computer, and he has estimated that he will need to be on the computer for approximately an hour and a half. How much of a fee can Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

• A. $6
• B. $9
• C. $12
• D. $15

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Raoul needs to use the computer for 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes are free, so he would pay for the remaining 60 minutes, which is 4 intervals of 15 minutes each. Each 15-minute period incurs a $3 charge, so for 60 minutes, Raoul would pay 4 x $3 = $12. Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $12 for his computer use at the library. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the provided information.
