1. What would be the most helpful advice for the student starting a research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II?

• A. Conduct a broad internet search to get a wide view of the subject.
• B. Consult an American history textbook.
• C. Find websites about Japanese culture such as fashion and politics.
• D. Locate texts in the library related to World War II in America and look for references to internment camps in the index.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best advice for the student would be to locate texts in the library related to World War II in America and look for references to internment camps. This choice is the most appropriate as it focuses on accessing specific and credible sources directly related to the research topic. Choices A and C are too broad and may not provide in-depth information on the internment camps. Choice B, while related to American history, may not offer the specific details needed for the research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II.

2. Which of the following would be a primary source for an article on the Battle of Gettysburg?

• A. a letter written by a local farmer who witnessed the battle
• B. a documentary about the battle produced by a local TV station
• C. a novelization of the battle written by the great-grandson of a Union soldier
• D. a history textbook for a college-level course in American history

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A letter written by a local farmer who witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg would be a primary source as it provides direct firsthand accounts and observations from someone who was present during the event. This source would offer valuable insights and perspectives for an article on the Battle of Gettysburg. Choice B, a documentary produced by a local TV station, is a secondary source as it interprets and presents information about the battle rather than providing direct firsthand accounts. Choice C, a novelization of the battle written by the great-grandson of a Union soldier, is also a secondary source as it involves interpretation and creative storytelling rather than direct eyewitness information. Choice D, a history textbook for a college-level course in American history, is a tertiary source that compiles information from various primary and secondary sources rather than presenting original firsthand accounts.

3. Which of the following sentences is most representative of a summary sentence for this passage?

• A. The problem with having a larger Bermuda Triangle is that it increases the odds of accidents.
• B. The area that is called the Bermuda Triangle happens to fall within one of the busiest navigational regions in the world, and the reality of greater activity creates the possibility for more to go wrong.
• C. One of the biggest challenges in considering the phenomenon is deciding how much area actually represents the Bermuda Triangle.
• D. Researchers have never been able to find anything truly mysterious about what happens in the Bermuda Triangle, if there even is a Bermuda Triangle.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. This sentence is the best summary statement for the entire passage because it succinctly captures the main idea of the author's discussion about the Bermuda Triangle. It highlights the lack of concrete evidence found by researchers regarding the mysterious occurrences in the Bermuda Triangle, effectively summarizing the overall tone and content of the passage. Choice A talks about the increased odds of accidents but does not capture the essence of the passage. Choice B discusses the navigational regions and the possibility of accidents, which is not the central theme of the passage. Choice C mentions the challenge of defining the Bermuda Triangle's area, which is a detail rather than a summary of the passage.

4. What is the definition of the word 'haunt' in the following passage? 'From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by street of shops.'

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Haunt' in this context means to visit a place frequently or persistently, which aligns with Mr. Utterson's actions of regularly going to the door in the by street of shops. The other choices are incorrect because 'levitate' means to rise or float in the air, 'terrorize' means to cause extreme fear, and 'daunt' means to make someone feel intimidated or apprehensive, none of which accurately reflect the meaning of 'haunt' in this context.

5. Which of the following is not an example of something that the author of Passage 1 states might be found in a fairy tale?

• A. Trolls
• B. Witches
• C. Talking animals
• D. Giants

Rationale: The author of Passage 1 mentions trolls, elves, giants, and talking animals as examples of imaginary creatures found in fairy tales. However, witches are not specifically mentioned. Therefore, witches are not an example of something the author states might be found in a fairy tale in Passage 1. Choice B is the correct answer. Choice A, trolls, Choice C, talking animals, and Choice D, giants, are all examples provided by the author in the passage, making them incorrect answers.
