1. Which of the following law firms would provide the necessary experience to pursue her claim and ensure the lowest overall cost?

• A. Smith and Jones
• B. Martin and Sons
• C. Williams Attorneys
• D. Thorn and Thomas

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Smith and Jones. In the provided extract, it mentions that Shia wanted to pursue a claim, and in the text, Smith and Jones specialize in worker's compensation legal issues. Furthermore, they offer a no-fee-unless-you-win service, ensuring the lowest cost for the employee. Choice B, Martin and Sons, Choice C, Williams Attorneys, and Choice D, Thorn and Thomas, are incorrect as they are not mentioned in the extract and do not offer the specific services required for the worker's compensation claim.

2. Which of these cinemas does not have a suitable option for Thomas and his sister?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Only Twin Theatres does not offer a showing before 6 p.m. or after 10 p.m., which are the only times Thomas and his sister are available. The other cinemas - Reveler Cinema, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House - have showings that fall within their available time slots, making them viable options for Thomas and his sister. Therefore, Twin Theatres is the correct answer. Reveler Cinema has showings at 5:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., Big Screen 14 has showings at 6:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m., 9:10 p.m., and 10:05 p.m., and Best Seat in The House has showings at 8:20 p.m., 9:55 p.m., and 11:25 p.m.

3. What is the best summary of the instructor's motive in sending the email to the students?

• A. Expressing concern about students' grades and emphasizing the importance of being worried.
• B. Recognizing the low exam scores and the need to adjust the grading plan to help students improve.
• C. Explaining the purpose of a group project and how it benefits students working together.
• D. Stating the strict grading policy set at the beginning of the semester.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Answer choice B is the correct summary of the instructor's motive in sending the email to the students. The passage mentions that the instructor acknowledged the low exam scores, including a high failure rate and the need to reconsider the grading plan for the semester. This indicates that the instructor wants to adjust the grading plan to provide students with an opportunity to improve their scores. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on expressing concern rather than on adjusting the grading plan. Choice C is unrelated as it discusses the purpose of a group project. Choice D is also incorrect as it mentions the strict grading policy set at the beginning of the semester, which is not the main focus of the email sent by the instructor.

4. What is the definition of the word 'fry' as it appears in the passage?

• A. Fry eggs that have been fertilized.
• B. Young fish capable of feeding themselves.
• C. A place where larvae are kept safe from predators.
• D. Fish prepared to be fried in oil.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Young fish capable of feeding themselves.' In the provided extract, 'fry' refers to the young fish that are hatched out and are old enough to take charge of themselves. Choice A is incorrect as it refers to a different context of 'fry.' Choice C is incorrect as it describes a location rather than the meaning of 'fry.' Choice D is also incorrect as it provides a definition of 'fry' related to cooking, which is not the intended meaning in the passage.

5. A 'competitive salary' is one that is

• A. Much less than salaries offered for comparable jobs
• B. Much greater than salaries offered for comparable jobs
• C. Similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs
• D. Impossible to compare to the salaries offered for comparable jobs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A competitive salary is one that is similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs. In the context of the job advertisement provided, a competitive salary is typically in line with what other employers are paying for similar positions to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Choice A is incorrect because a competitive salary is not 'much less' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be competitive. Choice B is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'much greater' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be fair and competitive. Choice D is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'impossible to compare to' the salaries offered for comparable jobs; it is meant to be competitive and aligned with industry standards.
