1. Which of the statements reflect information that one could reasonably infer based on the author's tone?

• A. The author's tone is persuasive and aims to call the audience to action.
• B. The author's tone is passionate due to excitement over the subject and personal narrative.
• C. The author's tone is informative and exhibits interest in the subject of the study.
• D. The author's tone is somber, depicting some anger at the state of insect larvae.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the author's tone in the excerpt, one can infer that the author's tone is informative. The author aims to educate the reader about the unique characteristics of insects, their habitats, and their life cycle. The tone is objective and descriptive, focusing on providing factual information rather than persuading or expressing passion or somberness. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no evident attempt to persuade, show excitement, or express anger in the text. Instead, the author's primary focus is on providing detailed information about the topic.

2. According to the extract, which of the following statements most closely correlates with the definition of the term 'working man'?

• A. A working man is someone who is well versed in the workings of the soul.
• B. A working man is probably not involved in social activities due to the high physical demand of work.
• C. A working man is someone who earns wages in a traditional sense, often associated with the middle class.
• D. The working man historically transitions from the field to the factory and now to the screen.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: According to the extract, the term 'working man' refers to individuals who are actively employed and earn wages in a traditional sense. Charles Dickens emphasizes the importance of the working man having a share in the management of institutions designed for their benefit. This aligns with choice C, making it the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as the extract does not mention anything about being well versed in the workings of the soul. Choice B is incorrect because the extract does not suggest that working men are not involved in social activities due to the physical demands of their work. Choice D is also incorrect as the extract does not focus on the historical transitions of the working man.

3. What does the following sentence most nearly mean? 'The preparatory instars of such insects are aquatic; the adult instar is aerial.'

• A. The volume of water is necessary for preparing the insect for transition rather than the volume of the air.
• B. The insect's body is shaped like a star in both water and air.
• C. The stage of preparation between molting occurs in water, while the final stage happens in the air.
• D. These insects first breathe in water through gills and then continue to use the same organs to breathe in the air.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The sentence indicates that the insects undergo different stages of development, with the preparatory instars being aquatic and the adult instar being aerial. This highlights the adaptability of these insects to different environments. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on the volume of water and air rather than the stages of development in different environments. Choice B is unrelated to the content of the sentence and does not capture the meaning accurately. Choice D is incorrect as it specifically mentions breathing through gills, which is not explicitly stated in the sentence. Therefore, choice C is the best interpretation of the sentence.

4. What type of text includes the author's purpose, major ideas, supporting details, visual aids, and vocabulary as key elements?

• A. Fictional texts
• B. Persuasive texts
• C. Narratives
• D. Informational texts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The key elements mentioned (author's purpose, major ideas, etc.) are typically associated with informational texts. Informational texts aim to inform and educate the reader, making use of these elements to convey factual information. Fictional texts focus more on storytelling, character development, and plot, while persuasive texts aim to convince or persuade the audience. Narratives are stories that can be fictional or non-fictional, emphasizing a sequence of events rather than the specific elements mentioned in the question.

5. 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.
