1. Which organizational style is used in the following passage?

• A. Cause and effect order
• B. Compare and contrast order
• C. Spatial order
• D. Time order

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage uses a cause and effect order to explain the reasons for the cafe's lack of success. It presents causes (higher prices and early closure) first, followed by their effects (students unable to afford food and beverages, students going elsewhere). This structure helps readers understand the relationship between the causes and their resulting effects. Choice B, 'Compare and contrast order,' is incorrect as the passage does not focus on comparing different aspects or contrasting ideas. Choice C, 'Spatial order,' is incorrect as it does not describe physical locations or arrangements. Choice D, 'Time order,' is incorrect as the passage does not primarily follow a chronological sequence of events.

2. According to the passages, which situation would not constitute an illegal use of lethal force?

• A. A disgruntled cashier yells obscenities at a customer.
• B. A thief is seen running away with stolen cash.
• C. A man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife.
• D. A woman punches another woman in a bar.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because, according to the passage, lethal force may be legally used in self-defense or to protect others from imminent danger. In the situation where a man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife, the use of lethal force to defend oneself would not constitute an illegal act. Choices A, B, and D do not involve a situation where the use of lethal force in self-defense would be justified, making them incorrect. A disgruntled cashier yelling obscenities, a thief running away with stolen cash, and a woman punching another woman do not present imminent danger that would justify the use of lethal force.

3. Why did Julia not return to work after the alarm?

• A. She was embarrassed that she could not finish the work her boss asked for.
• B. She was tired and wanted to go home.
• C. She got stuck in traffic and could not get back to her office.
• D. Her boss gave her the afternoon off.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The most likely reason Julia did not return to work after the alarm is that she got stuck in traffic and could not get back to her office. The extract provides details about Julia's challenging morning, starting from being woken up early by lawn mowers, having a caffeine-free cup of coffee, facing traffic delays, arriving late at work, and receiving additional work from her boss. These events culminated in Julia deciding to leave after the fire alarm, indicating that being stuck in traffic was the primary reason for her absence. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no direct evidence in the provided extract to support them. Julia's actions suggest that her decision to leave was more related to external factors like traffic issues rather than internal feelings of embarrassment, tiredness, or being given time off by her boss.

4. Which term is most closely aligned with the definition of the term working man as it is defined in the following passage?

• A. Plebeian
• B. Viscount
• C. Entrepreneur
• D. Bourgeois

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Plebeian' as it represents the common people, which aligns closely with the definition of a 'working man.' 'Viscount' refers to a nobleman ranking above a baron but below an earl. 'Entrepreneur' is a person who organizes and operates a business, typically taking financial risks in the hope of profit. 'Bourgeois' relates to the middle class, typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values or conventional attitudes.

5. According to the aforementioned passage, what is the speaker's second desire for his time in front of the audience?

• A. To read a Christmas story
• B. For the working man to have a say in the management of the institution designed for his benefit
• C. To have an opportunity to stand in their presence
• D. For the life of the institution to be essential to the audience as a whole

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The speaker's second desire for his time in front of the audience is for the working man to have a say in the management of the institution designed for his benefit. This is evident from the passage where the speaker emphasizes the importance of the working man having a share in the management of an institution designed for his benefit. Choice A is incorrect because although reading a Christmas story was mentioned as the first desire, it was not the second desire. Choice C is incorrect as the desire mentioned is not about standing in the audience's presence but rather about the working man having a say in the institution. Choice D is incorrect as it does not align with the speaker's second desire as mentioned in the passage.
