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 the following sentences indicates the end of a sequence?

• A. Our ultimate objective was to find a quality coat at an affordable price.
• B. We chose this particular restaurant because of its outdoor seating.
• C. Finally, we were able to settle in to enjoy the movie.
• D. Initially, it seemed unlikely that we’d be able to keep the puppy.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'Finally, we were able to settle in to enjoy the movie.' indicates the completion or conclusion of a sequence of events. The word 'finally' signals that something has been achieved or reached at the end of a series of actions or events. Choices A, B, and D do not indicate the end of a sequence but rather express different points within a series of events or actions.

3. Which phrase best completes the definition of a memoir?

• A. A historical account of a person's life written by one who has intimate knowledge of the person's life
• B. A historical account of a person's life written by the person himself or herself
• C. A fictional account about a famous person
• D. A nonfictional account about a famous person without factual reference

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A memoir is a historical account of a person's life written by someone who has intimate knowledge of that person's life, not necessarily by the person themselves. This distinguishes it from an autobiography, which is written by the person themselves. Memoirs are nonfictional and based on factual references, making option A the most fitting completion of the definition. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a memoir is not necessarily written by the person about whom it is written, it is not fictional, and it should be based on factual references to be considered a memoir.

4. Which of the following words are synonyms for 'erroneously' as used in the passage?

• A. Correctly
• B. Inconsequentially
• C. Mistakenly
• D. Extraneously

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Erroneously' means incorrectly or mistakenly, which aligns with the context provided in the passage. Therefore, 'Incorrectly' and 'Mistakenly' are synonyms for 'erroneously.' 'Inconsequentially' means not resulting in any significant consequence, which is not synonymous with 'erroneously.' 'Extraneously' means irrelevant or unnecessary, which is also not a synonym for 'erroneously.'

5. Which option best defines a fable?

• A. A melancholic poem lamenting the subject's death
• B. An oral tradition influenced by culture
• C. A story with events that occur in threes and sevens
• D. A short story with animals, fantastic creatures, or other forces within nature

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A fable is a short story that typically features animals, fantastic creatures, or other forces within nature as characters. These characters often possess human-like qualities and behavior, and the story is intended to convey a moral lesson or message to the reader. The use of animals or other natural elements is a common characteristic of fables, distinguishing them from other types of stories or literary works. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the defining characteristics of a fable.
