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 of these cinemas does not have a suitable option for Thomas and his sister?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Only Twin Theatres does not offer a showing before 6 p.m. or after 10 p.m., which are the only times Thomas and his sister are available. The other cinemas - Reveler Cinema, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House - have showings that fall within their available time slots, making them viable options for Thomas and his sister. Therefore, Twin Theatres is the correct answer. Reveler Cinema has showings at 5:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., Big Screen 14 has showings at 6:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m., 9:10 p.m., and 10:05 p.m., and Best Seat in The House has showings at 8:20 p.m., 9:55 p.m., and 11:25 p.m.

3. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes?

• A. 100
• B. 300
• C. 600
• D. 900

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 900 section of the library: History, geography, and biography to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes. Eratosthenes, an Ancient Greek mathematician and poet, is known for his contributions to geography and is considered the first person to calculate the circumference of the earth. Therefore, his works on early maps would be categorized under history and geography. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they correspond to Philosophy and psychology, Social sciences, and Technical and applied science respectively, which are not relevant to finding maps created by Eratosthenes.

4. Which of the following best describes the purpose of the passage?

• A. to inform Mr. Morgan that he will likely not receive an offer for the job of Lead Technician due to the high number of applicants
• B. to express gratitude to Mr. Morgan for applying for the position of Lead Technician
• C. to offer Mr. Morgan the position of Lead Technician
• D. to notify Mr. Morgan that the review of candidates will take longer than expected

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The purpose of the passage is to inform Mr. Morgan that he will likely not receive an offer for the job of Lead Technician due to the high number of applicants. The passage mentions the high volume of applications and the competitive nature of the selection process, indicating that Mr. Morgan may not be successful. Choice B is incorrect because the passage does not express gratitude to Mr. Morgan but rather informs him of the situation. Choice C is incorrect as there is no offer made in the passage. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not specifically state that the review will take longer than expected, but rather that it will take longer than previously stated.

5. Which of the following sentences uses the word 'smart' with a negative connotation, rather than a positive connotation or simply the word's denotation?

• A. Eliot's teacher said he was not quite gifted, but too smart for a general class.
• B. Eliot was smart to have studied the day before the test; he got a good grade.
• C. Eliot was identified by his teacher as one of the smart students in her classes.
• D. Eliot got into trouble when he gave a smart answer to his teacher's question.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In sentence D, the word 'smart' is used with a negative connotation as it describes Eliot getting into trouble for giving a smart answer to his teacher's question. This implies that being smart in this context led to a negative consequence. Choices A, B, and C use 'smart' in a positive or neutral light, highlighting intelligence or wise decisions without any negative implications.
