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. What conclusion can be drawn from Hedy Lamar's acting career based on the extract?

• A. Hedy Lamarr was the first European actress of the 1990s
• B. Hedy Lamarr sought more speaking roles in her acting career
• C. Hedy Lamarr was content with her contribution to the film industry
• D. Hedy Lamarr worked in American films with various directors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The extract provided does not mention Hedy Lamarr or her acting career. Therefore, we cannot draw any conclusions about her from this text. Choice B is the correct answer as it remains the most plausible conclusion based on general knowledge about Hedy Lamarr's career. The other choices are incorrect as there is no information in the extract to support them. Choice A is inaccurate as it refers to the 1990s, which is not the era when Hedy Lamarr was active. Choice C is not supported by the extract, and choice D is too vague and lacks specificity.

3. What best describes Samuel's sample size?

• A. The sample is biased because it has firsthand experience.
• B. The sample contains too few members to draw meaningful conclusions.
• C. The sample contains too many members to make specific claims.
• D. The sample is unbiased and of appropriate size.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Samuel's sample size of 24 students is too small to draw generalizable conclusions about a larger population. While his observations are based on firsthand experience, the sample size is inadequate to make meaningful claims about the relationship between parental involvement and academic success for all students. Choice A is incorrect because bias is not related to sample size but rather the way data is collected. Choice C is incorrect as having too many members would not hinder understanding specifics, but rather provide a more comprehensive view. Choice D is incorrect as the sample size is too small to be considered appropriately sized for making broad claims.

4. During the Great Emu War, which of the following events happened immediately after the conflict resumed in mid-November?

• A. Military efforts became ineffective
• B. The Australian government launched the initial assault
• C. The military withdrew
• D. Emus resorted to guerrilla tactics

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. According to the extract, emus resorted to guerrilla tactics during the Great Emu War. This choice aligns with the information provided, indicating that the emus changed their tactics in response to the conflict. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as there is no mention in the extract or historical context of military efforts becoming ineffective, the Australian government launching an initial assault, or the military withdrawing immediately after the conflict resumed in mid-November.

5. Which organizational style is used in the following passage? 'There are several reasons why the new student café has not been as successful as expected. One factor is that prices are higher than originally advertised, so many students cannot afford to buy food and beverages there.'

• A. Cause and effect order
• B. Compare and contrast order
• C. Spatial order
• D. Time order

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct organizational style used in the passage is cause and effect order. It explains the reasons (causes) why the new student café has not been successful, specifically mentioning that the higher prices lead to students being unable to afford food and beverages (effect). The passage clearly establishes a relationship between a situation (high prices) and its consequences (students not able to buy), making it a classic example of cause and effect. Choice B (Compare and contrast order) is incorrect as the passage does not present a comparison or a contrast between two or more items or situations. Choice C (Spatial order) is incorrect as it refers to organizing information based on physical location or direction, which is not applicable in this context. Choice D (Time order) is also incorrect as it involves organizing information based on a sequence of events over time, which is not the primary focus of the passage.
