Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following statements based on the passage should be considered an opinion?

• A. Julia’s boss asked her to help one of her coworkers with work.
• B. Julia was late to work due to traffic.
• C. It was irresponsible for Julia to leave work early.
• D. Julia was tired because she’d been woken up early.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The statement 'It was irresponsible for Julia to leave work early' is an opinion because it reflects a judgment or evaluation of Julia's actions, rather than stating a fact. The other statements (A, B, D) provide factual information about events that occurred in the passage. Option A states a fact about Julia being asked by her boss; option B explains the reason for Julia being late; option D provides a reason for Julia feeling tired. These are not opinions but rather statements of events or circumstances.

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 implied by the following sentence? It is hoped the wounds may not be mortal. My apprehension is that they will prove fatal.

• A. Those involved are hopeful for a positive outcome.
• B. There is no hope that Seward or Lincoln will recover from their wounds.
• C. The writer is pessimistic about whether Seward will recover from his wounds.
• D. The writer is doubtful about the legitimacy of accounts regarding the night's events.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'My apprehension is that they will prove fatal' indicates that the writer is pessimistic about Seward's recovery from his wounds. This implies a lack of hope or certainty about the outcome, suggesting a negative view on the situation. Choice A is incorrect because the sentence does not refer to all involved parties being hopeful. Choice B is incorrect as it is too extreme, stating there is no hope for recovery. Choice D is incorrect as there is no indication in the sentence that the writer doubts the legitimacy of the accounts.

4. After an unexpected rearrangement of their schedules, Thomas and his sister realize that they will have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since Thomas and his sister have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m., they need to watch the film later in the evening. Among the options, Reveler Cinema offers showtimes after 10 p.m. with a showing at 7:15 p.m., making it the best choice. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House do not have showtimes after 10 p.m., making Reveler Cinema the most suitable option for the siblings to catch a film at that time.

5. Based on the facts in the passage, what prediction could you make about the time immediately following the Louisiana Purchase?

• A. Explorers were already on their way to the region.
• B. The government aimed to increase its power.
• C. Government officials would ensure explorers were dispatched to the region.
• D. Explorers would expect compensation for their work.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage mentions that explorers like Lewis and Clark were sent to the newly acquired Louisiana Territory immediately after the Louisiana Purchase. This indicates that explorers were already on their way to the region following the purchase. Choice B is incorrect as there is no direct mention of the government wanting to increase its power right after the purchase. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not state that government officials would specifically ensure explorers were dispatched to the region. Choice D is incorrect because there is no information provided in the passage about explorers expecting payment for their work.
