1. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?

• A. These cookies should be baked on a baking rack
• B. These cookies cannot be cooked in a microwave oven
• C. Folding in peanut butter must be done gently
• D. Beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct statement about the passage is that beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously. In the provided extract, it mentions 'Beat egg white until foamy. Stir in sugar, beat again until stiff peaks form.' This process of beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form requires vigorous stirring. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention using a baking rack for cooking the cookies. Choice B is incorrect as the passage provides instructions for baking the cookies in an oven. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not emphasize the need for gentle folding when mixing in the peanut butter.

2. Jensen has been assigned a project on ancient Greece, but the project terms are general. This means that he can select any topic of interest to him from Ancient Greece and focus his project around this. Jensen is overwhelmed and does not even know where to begin. What section of the library should he check first for general information about ancient Greece?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 400
• D. 900

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jensen should check the 900 section of the library for general information about ancient Greece. In the Dewey Decimal Classification system, the 900 section covers history and geography. Ancient Greece falls under the category of history, so Jensen can find a wide range of resources related to ancient Greece in this section, which will provide him with a good starting point for his project. Choice A (100) refers to Philosophy and psychology, Choice B (200) to Religion, and Choice C (400) to Languages, which are not directly related to ancient Greece, making them incorrect options.

3. Which detail from the passage best supports the conclusion that the little girl is no older than three years old?

• A. For lunch, she likes ham and cheese (torn into bites), yogurt, raisins, applesauce, peanut butter sandwiches in the fridge drawer, or any combo of these.
• B. It’s fine if you want to go somewhere, just leave us a note of where you are.
• C. As for nap, try after lunch. She may not sleep, but try anyway.
• D. Turn on music in her room, leave her in her crib with a dry diaper and bottle to try to sleep.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The detail from choice D, 'Turn on music in her room, leave her in her crib with a dry diaper and bottle to try to sleep,' best supports the conclusion that the little girl is no older than three years old. This detail suggests that the child is still using a crib for sleeping, a common practice for infants and toddlers. Additionally, the mention of a bottle indicates that the child is likely young, as older children typically do not use bottles for sleep. Choices A, B, and C do not provide specific details related to the child's age like the mention of a crib and a bottle does in choice D.

4. The area known as the Bermuda Triangle has become such a part of popular culture that it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Which of the following describes this type of writing?

• A. Narrative
• B. Persuasive
• C. Expository
• D. Technical

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Expository writing is used to explain or inform, as seen in the factual account of the Bermuda Triangle. The passage provides information to explain the phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle, presenting facts and details without attempting to persuade or tell a story (narrative) or focusing on technical details. While the Bermuda Triangle has inspired many stories and theories, the passage aims to inform rather than persuade or delve into technical aspects.

5. Based on the passage, which conclusion can be drawn about the author?

• A. They are overly emotional and...
• B. They would rather be at a concert
• C. They go to the theater as often as possible
• D. They enjoy the decor of most theaters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The passage does not mention anything about the author's emotional state or preference for concerts. However, it does discuss cicadas and their emergence, life cycle, and behavior. Therefore, the reader can conclude that the author is likely interested in cicadas and their natural history, indicating that they go to the theater as often as possible. Choice A is incorrect because there is no evidence regarding the author being overly emotional. Choice B is incorrect as there is no mention of the author's preference for concerts. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not provide any information about the author enjoying theater decor.
