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. What is the author’s conclusion about the house on Pine Street?

• A. The house did not have enough bedrooms.
• B. The house did not have a big enough yard.
• C. The house was not in the right neighborhood.
• D. The house was too expensive.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's conclusion about the house on Pine Street is that it was too expensive. This can be inferred from the description provided in the text, where it is mentioned that although the house had enough space inside, it didn't have a big enough yard for their dogs, and the cost of the house was well above their price range. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the evidence from the text, which clearly points to the cost being the main issue with the house on Pine Street.

3. Based on the pattern in the headings, which of the following is a reasonable heading to insert in the blank spot?

• A. Gray Tree Frog
• B. Tropical Frogs
• C. Newts
• D. Spadefoot Toads

Correct answer: A

Rationale: By observing the headings provided in the extract, we can see that they are sorted alphabetically starting from 'Gray Tree Frog.' Following this alphabetical order, the next heading to be inserted in the blank spot would also come alphabetically next, which is 'Gray Tree Frog.' Choices B, C, and D do not follow the alphabetical pattern established by the existing headings and are therefore incorrect.

4. What is one point on which the scientist and politician agree?

• A. Burning fossil fuels causes global temperatures to rise.
• B. Global temperatures are increasing.
• C. Countries must revisit their energy policies before it's too late.
• D. Earth's climate naturally goes through warming and cooling periods.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Global temperatures are increasing.' The scientist and politician both agree on this point based on the context provided. Choice A is incorrect because while it might be a common belief among scientists, the politician's agreement is not explicitly mentioned. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a course of action rather than a point of agreement. Choice D is incorrect as it contradicts the consensus that global temperatures are currently increasing due to human activities, not just natural climate cycles.

5. While researching Chomsky's Jewish heritage, Teddy wants to research traditional Judaism. Which section of the library would most likely contain the most relevant information?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '200.' According to the Dewey Decimal System, religion falls under section 200. Traditional Judaism research aligns with religious studies, making section 200 the most suitable for finding relevant information. Choices A, C, and D do not directly relate to religious topics and are therefore less likely to contain information on traditional Judaism.
