1. 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.

2. Jenson also discovers that the meaning behind many of the plays was closely related to the polytheistic beliefs that were practiced in ancient Greece. What section of the library should he check for more information about Greek polytheism?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Jenson should check section 200 of the library for more information about Greek polytheism. In the Dewey Decimal Classification system used in libraries, section 200 covers topics related to religion. Since Greek polytheism is a religious belief system, relevant resources and information about it are most likely found in the 200s section of the library. Choice A (100) covers Philosophy and Psychology, which is not directly related to religion like Greek polytheism. Choice C (300) covers Social Sciences, which is not the most appropriate section for information on religious beliefs. Choice D (900) covers History, Geography, and Biography, which are also unrelated to the specific topic of Greek polytheism.

3. What is the main point of dispute between the politicians?

• A. Spending on social welfare programs increases the national debt.
• B. Certain classes of people rely on social welfare programs to meet their basic needs.
• C. Certain classes of people would be irreparably harmed if the country failed to provide a social welfare program.
• D. All of the country's leaders have bootstrapped their way to the top.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The main point of dispute between the conservative and liberal politicians is about whether certain classes of people rely on social welfare programs to meet their basic needs. The conservative politician believes that no citizens truly need government assistance and that it only makes things easier, while the liberal politician argues that various groups, such as immigrants, single mothers, and the elderly, require a safety net for basic necessities. Choice A is incorrect as it refers to the impact on national debt, which is not the primary point of dispute. Choice C is incorrect as it discusses the consequences of failing to provide social welfare programs, not the main point of disagreement. Choice D is irrelevant as it talks about the backgrounds of the country's leaders, which is not the focus of the dispute between the politicians.

4. What is the purpose of this passage?

• A. To describe the sun-fish's reproductive habits.
• B. To explain the ecosystem of the sun-fish.
• C. To persuade readers to protect aquatic ecosystems.
• D. To discuss the mating habits of sun-fish.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage describes the reproductive habits of the sun-fish, focusing on how the mother sun-fish provides and guards her spawn until they are ready to take care of themselves. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not delve into the broader ecosystem of the sun-fish. Choice C is incorrect as there is no persuasive element in the passage about protecting aquatic ecosystems. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not discuss the mating habits of sun-fish but rather the care provided by the mother sun-fish.

5. What is the purpose of the italics used for several of the works identified in the sentence above?

• A. to indicate a full-length published book
• B. to indicate a work of classic literature
• C. to indicate recommended summer reading
• D. to indicate books that Angela completed

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The purpose of the italics used for several of the works identified in the sentence above is to indicate a full-length published book. In the provided extract, titles of books such as 'The Great Gatsby,' 'Brave New World,' 'A Passage to India,' and 'The Cask of Amontillado' are italicized to emphasize them as standalone works. This formatting convention is commonly used to highlight titles of books, magazines, movies, and other individual works in written text. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as the italics are not specifically indicating classic literature, recommended summer reading, or completion by Angela, but rather serving the general purpose of emphasizing standalone works.
