1. Which of these descriptions provides the most detailed and objective support for the claim that drinking and driving is unsafe?

• A. A dramatized television commercial reenacting a fatal accident.
• B. The Department of Transportation's press release noting the deployment of additional patrol units.
• C. Congressional written testimony on drinking incidents.
• D. A highway bulletin warning of penalties for drinking and driving.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Congressional written testimony on drinking incidents provides the most detailed and factual data on the subject, making it the most objective support for the claim that drinking and driving is unsafe. Choice A, the dramatized television commercial, may be emotionally impactful but lacks detailed data. Choice B, the Department of Transportation's press release, focuses on enforcement actions rather than detailed information on the dangers. Choice D, the highway bulletin warning of penalties, emphasizes consequences rather than providing detailed support for the claim.

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. From the passage, which of the following statements represents a logical conclusion about the author?

• A. The author loves to attend theatrical productions
• B. The author prefers musical comedies
• C. The author also enjoys concerts and movies
• D. The author finds theater seating comfortable

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage does not provide any information about the author's preference for musical comedies (choice B), enjoyment of concerts and movies (choice C), or comfort with theater seating (choice D). However, the passage does mention cicadas and their emergence, not providing any details that connect to the author's preferences. Therefore, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn about the author is that they love attending theatrical productions, as suggested by the deep love for attending theater productions.

4. A recycling company collects sorted materials from its clients. The materials are weighed and then processed for re-use. The chart shows the weights of various classes of materials that were collected by the company during a representative month. Which of the following statements is NOT supported by the data in the chart?

• A. Paper products, including cardboard, make up a majority of the collected materials.
• B. One quarter of the materials collected are made of glass.
• C. More plastic is collected than cardboard.
• D. Plastic and cardboard together represent a larger portion of the collected materials than glass bottles.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The chart data does not support the statement that more plastic is collected than cardboard. Looking at the chart data, we can see that paper products, including cardboard, make up the majority of the collected materials. Glass accounts for one quarter of the materials collected. When we compare plastic and cardboard, we can see that cardboard weighs more than plastic. Therefore, the statement that more plastic is collected than cardboard is not supported by the data. Additionally, combining plastic and cardboard weights still does not exceed the weight of glass bottles according to the chart.

5. What is the purpose of the passage?

• A. to inform
• B. to entertain
• C. to describe
• D. to persuade

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The main purpose of this passage is to inform readers about the role of skin coloration and markings in snakes. It explains how these markings help snakes hide from predators and how they can also indicate venomousness. The passage also provides examples such as the scarlet kingsnake to illustrate how some nonvenomous snakes mimic the appearance of venomous snakes for protection. This informative content aims to educate readers about the survival strategies of snakes, rather than entertain, describe, or persuade them.
