1. Which statement is not a detail from the passage?

• A. Promoters of dietary supplements can make any claims that are supported by research.
• B. GMP requirements for large manufacturers went into effect in 2008.
• C. The FDA regulates dietary supplements in the same way as prescription medications.
• D. Consumers should research supplement claims before making a purchase.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The statement "Promoters of dietary supplements can make any claims that are supported by research" is not a detail from the passage. The passage mentions that manufacturers, not promoters, can make claims supported by research. The primary focus is on the regulations and manufacturing standards for dietary supplements. Choice B is a detail from the passage as it mentions the GMP requirements for large manufacturers going into effect in 2008. Choice C is incorrect as the passage states that FDA regulations for dietary supplements are not the same as those for prescription medications. Choice D is also supported by the passage, emphasizing that consumers should research supplement claims before making a purchase to ensure accuracy and safety.

2. Which literary device is most prominent in Wilde's play?

• A. Irony
• B. Symbolism
• C. Metaphor
• D. Allusion

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Irony.' Irony is the most prominent literary device in Wilde's play, 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' as it pervades his critique of the upper class. Throughout the play, Wilde uses irony to highlight the absurdities and trivialities of the British aristocracy. The characters engage in witty and humorous dialogue filled with situational irony, verbal irony, and dramatic irony, exposing the superficiality and hypocrisy of the upper classes. Symbolism, metaphor, and allusion are present in the play but to a lesser extent compared to irony. While symbolism and metaphor are used to enhance the themes and characterizations, allusion is sparingly employed. However, it is the pervasive use of irony that sets the tone and drives Wilde's satire of the societal norms and values of the time.

3. The author of the passage notes several distinctions between Tennyson and Malory. Which of the following is not identified as a difference between the two authors?

• A. Malory wrote in prose, while Tennyson wrote in poetry.
• B. Malory wrote during the Medieval era, while Tennyson wrote during the Victorian era.
• C. Malory was more focused on heroism and morality, while Tennyson was more focused on nature and elegy.
• D. Malory wrote stories about Gareth, Tristan, and Isolde, while Tennyson focused only on Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The passage doesn't specifically mention the characters Gareth, Tristan, and Isolde as being exclusive to Malory. However, it does highlight that Malory focused on Arthurian legends while Tennyson also wrote about the same characters. Choice A is incorrect because Malory wrote in prose, while Tennyson wrote in poetry, as stated in the passage. Choice B is incorrect as Malory wrote during the Medieval era, while Tennyson wrote during the Victorian era, according to the passage. Choice C is incorrect because Malory was more focused on heroism and morality, while Tennyson was more focused on nature and elegy, as mentioned in the extract.

4. In which chapter should Clothilde look for more information?

• A. Chapter 7
• B. Chapter 9
• C. Chapter 10
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Clothilde should look for more information in Chapter 9, 'Herbs for Immunity,' as her sister's daughter has a chronic cough. Immune-boosting herbs may help strengthen the child's immune system and potentially alleviate the cough. Chapter 9 focuses on herbs that support immune health, making it the most relevant chapter for addressing a chronic cough related to immunity. Chapters 7, 10, and 12 do not specifically focus on immunity or respiratory conditions, making them less likely to provide the information Clothilde needs.

5. During the Great Emu War, which of the following events happened immediately after the conflict resumed in mid-November?

• A. Military efforts became ineffective
• B. The Australian government launched the initial assault
• C. The military withdrew
• D. Emus resorted to guerrilla tactics

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. According to the extract, emus resorted to guerrilla tactics during the Great Emu War. This choice aligns with the information provided, indicating that the emus changed their tactics in response to the conflict. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as there is no mention in the extract or historical context of military efforts becoming ineffective, the Australian government launching an initial assault, or the military withdrawing immediately after the conflict resumed in mid-November.
