1. Which of the following senses do babies primarily rely on during their early development?

• A. vision
• B. hearing
• C. touch
• D. smell

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Babies primarily rely on the sense of touch during their early development. Their sense of touch is one of the first senses to develop, allowing them to explore and understand the world around them. Touch helps babies bond with caregivers, provides comfort, and facilitates learning about different textures and sensations. While vision, hearing, and smell are also important, touch plays a crucial role in infants' early development and communication. The provided extract explains that babies initially rely on hearing and later on vision, with touch being essential for early bonding and exploration, making it the primary sense in infancy.

2. Why does the author repeat the phrase 'I had a dream' throughout the text?

• A. To emphasize the speaker's excitement
• B. To persuade the audience
• C. To demonstrate the speaker's authority
• D. To create a rhythmic effect

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The repetition of 'I had a dream' in the text serves to emphasize the speaker's excitement and vision. By repeating this phrase, the author highlights the importance and impact of the dream, reinforcing the central theme of hope and aspiration. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the primary purpose of the repetition is not persuasion, demonstration of authority, or creating a rhythmic effect, but rather to underscore the speaker's emotions and aspirations.

3. 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.

4. During his study, Jenson finds himself increasingly drawn to information about the theaters of ancient Greece and particularly to the plays that the Greeks performed. What section of the library should he check next for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece?

• A. 200
• B. 600
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jenson should check section 800 for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece. Section 800 generally covers literature and includes works of literary criticism, which would likely have information on ancient Greek plays, playwrights, and theatrical practices. Choice A (200) is for Religion, not related to ancient Greek plays. Choice B (600) is for Technical and applied science, unrelated to literature. Choice C (700) is for Arts and recreation, more related to the performing arts but not specifically focused on written plays from ancient Greece.

• A. Helped found the National Geographic Society.
• B. Developed a metal detector.
• C. Moved to Canada.
• D. Invented the telephone.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Alexander Graham Bell moved to Canada early in his life, before inventing the telephone and developing other technologies. Choice A is incorrect because Bell did not help found the National Geographic Society; this happened years after his major inventions. Choice B is incorrect because Bell developed a metal detector after inventing the telephone. Choice D is incorrect because Bell invented the telephone after moving to Canada.
