1. According to the passages, which situation would not constitute an illegal use of lethal force?

• A. A disgruntled cashier yells obscenities at a customer.
• B. A thief is seen running away with stolen cash.
• C. A man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife.
• D. A woman punches another woman in a bar.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because, according to the passage, lethal force may be legally used in self-defense or to protect others from imminent danger. In the situation where a man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife, the use of lethal force to defend oneself would not constitute an illegal act. Choices A, B, and D do not involve a situation where the use of lethal force in self-defense would be justified, making them incorrect. A disgruntled cashier yelling obscenities, a thief running away with stolen cash, and a woman punching another woman do not present imminent danger that would justify the use of lethal force.

2. How many people can participate in a volleyball game?

• A. 14
• B. 15
• C. half of a class
• D. an entire class

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Based on the extract provided, a volleyball game can involve an entire class participating. The passage mentions that with just one net and one ball, an entire class can play volleyball. While the number of participants in a volleyball game can vary, the specific reference to a whole class in the passage indicates that a significant number of people can take part. Therefore, the correct answer is 'an entire class.' Choice A, '14,' is incorrect because the passage explicitly mentions that an entire class can participate, which typically involves more than 14 individuals. Choice B, '15,' is incorrect as it does not account for the flexibility of the number of participants in a volleyball game as stated in the passage. Choice C, 'half of a class,' is incorrect as the passage clearly states that an entire class can participate, not just half.

3. Which of the following contains only key points of the passage?

• A. Dr. Creekstone's 90th birthday party with 3000 guests, zebras, monster trucks, bagpipe player, limited buffet, and fireworks display.
• B. There were shocking buffet items at Dr. Creekstone's birthday party.
• C. Dr. Creekstone plans to have an even bigger and more interesting birthday party next year.
• D. Dr. Creekstone's 90th birthday party had 3000 guests, zebras, monster trucks, bagpipe player, limited buffet, and fireworks display.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A provides a comprehensive list of key points from the passage about Dr. Creekstone's 90th birthday party, including the number of guests, unique elements like zebras and monster trucks, the buffet contents, and the fireworks display. Choices B and C do not cover all the important details mentioned in the passage, making them incomplete and inaccurate. Choice D is a partial summary, missing essential details such as the unique elements and the limited buffet, so it is not the best option.

4. Which of the following is a primary source that would be relevant to a biography about Jules Verne?

• A. Articles about Jules Verne written after his death
• B. Reviews of Jules Verne’s works
• C. Film adaptations of Jules Verne’s works
• D. Letters exchanged by Jules Verne and a close friend

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Letters exchanged by Jules Verne and a close friend would be a primary source as they were written during his lifetime, providing direct insight into his thoughts and actions. Choices A, B, and C are not primary sources. Articles written after his death, reviews of his works, and film adaptations are considered secondary sources as they are interpretations or analyses based on primary materials.

5. How is this passage structured?

• A. cause and effect
• B. problem and solution
• C. chronological order
• D. compare and contrast

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage is structured in chronological order as it presents events in the order in which they occurred. It starts with Harriet Tubman's background as a slave, then progresses through her marriage, escape, and subsequent actions to help other slaves. Each event is presented in a time sequence, making it clear that the passage follows a timeline of events. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the passage does not focus on demonstrating cause and effect relationships, outlining problems and solutions, or comparing and contrasting different elements. Instead, it provides a historical account of Harriet Tubman's life in a sequential manner.
