1. Which statement from the passage best supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio during an interview is a good practice for journalists?

• A. Journalists often use a recording device to capture the audio transcript of an interview with a subject.
• B. Relying on a recording device is not without troubles, however.
• C. As a result, a portion of an interview can be lost without any way to reclaim it.
• D. This dual-note method means that most of the time, a wise journalist has two good resources to use as he or she writes the article draft.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The statement about the dual-note method best supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio is a good practice. It highlights the advantage of having two resources - notes and audio recordings - which provide comprehensive coverage of the interview. Choice A simply mentions the use of a recording device but does not emphasize the benefits of combining it with note-taking. Choices B and C focus on the limitations or potential issues with using recording devices, which do not promote the practice as positively as Choice D.

2. In the statement above, several items are italicized, while only one is placed in quotation marks. According to the rules of punctuation, the following should be placed in quotation marks: article titles, book chapters, short stories, and episodes of television shows. Considering the list of works that Angela read, into which category does 'The Cask of Amontillado' most likely fit?

• A. newspaper article
• B. book chapter
• C. short story
• D. television show episode

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'The Cask of Amontillado' is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. Short stories are considered literary works that should be placed in quotation marks according to the rules of punctuation. Therefore, 'The Cask of Amontillado' would fall under the category of works that should be placed in quotation marks.

3. Why do some insects have a life cycle divided between water and air?

• A. To highlight the adaptability of these insects.
• B. To illustrate the different environmental challenges they face.
• C. To describe the process of metamorphosis in these insects.
• D. To show the evolutionary advantages of such a life cycle.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the life cycle of insects is divided between water and air to demonstrate the evolutionary advantages of this adaptation. Insects have evolved to inhabit both aquatic and aerial environments, allowing them to thrive in diverse conditions. Choice A is incorrect because the division between water and air in the life cycle does not solely highlight adaptability but also evolutionary strategies. Choice B is incorrect because the question focuses on the reason for the specific division in the life cycle, not on environmental challenges. Choice C is incorrect because while metamorphosis is part of the life cycle, it does not directly explain why it is divided between water and air.

4. Which best describes the final two sentences of the announcement?

• A. a friendly reminder to all faculty members to bring a badge when entering the canteen
• B. a word of caution to faculty members about trying to enter the canteen at the wrong time
• C. an implied suggestion that faculty members should consider getting lunch elsewhere
• D. an indication of university sanctions for faculty members who enter the canteen outside the schedule

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The final two sentences in the announcement serve as a word of caution to faculty members about trying to enter the canteen at the wrong time. It emphasizes the importance of respecting the given schedule and displaying a department badge before entering for lunch. The tone indicates a warning rather than simply a friendly reminder or a suggestion to eat elsewhere. Choice A is incorrect as the tone is more cautionary than friendly. Choice C is incorrect as there is no implied suggestion to get lunch elsewhere; instead, the focus is on following the recommended schedule. Choice D is incorrect as there is no mention of university sanctions, but rather a request to display a department badge and respect the designated lunch schedules.

5. At the top of an encyclopedia's page are the following two guide terms: kingcraft and klieg light. Which one of the following words will be found on this page?

• A. Kleptomania
• B. Knead
• C. Kinesthesia
• D. Kickback

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Kinesthesia.' When arranging words alphabetically, 'Kinesthesia' would come between 'kingcraft' and 'klieg light.' Choice A, 'Kleptomania,' starts with a 'K' but comes after 'Kinesthesia.' Choices B and D, 'Knead' and 'Kickback,' do not fit alphabetically between the guide terms provided at the top of the page.
