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. Teddy has been assigned to write a history paper about the United States during the Cold War. What choice of three classes would likely be the most useful?

• A. 100, 300, 700
• B. 100, 300, 800
• C. 100, 400, 900
• D. 200, 300, 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the Dewey Decimal System, which is a library classification system, the subjects related to Chomsky's work, which touches on philosophy, social sciences, and history, fall under classes 100, 400, and 900. Therefore, these classes would be the most useful for Teddy's history paper about the United States during the Cold War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not include the specific classes related to the required subjects for Teddy's paper.

3. What prompted Hedy Lamarr to take up inventing?

• A. Boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines
• B. Formal training in engineering
• C. Her successful inventions like the radio signal technology
• D. Working with Howard Hughes' aviation team

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Hedy Lamarr took up inventing due to boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines. The extract mentions that to relieve her boredom, Lamarr turned to inventing after her film roles did not provide much dialogue.

4. After an unexpected rearrangement of their schedules, Thomas and his sister realize that they will have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since Thomas and his sister have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m., they need to watch the film later in the evening. Among the options, Reveler Cinema offers showtimes after 10 p.m. with a showing at 7:15 p.m., making it the best choice. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House do not have showtimes after 10 p.m., making Reveler Cinema the most suitable option for the siblings to catch a film at that time.

5. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?

• A. These cookies should be baked on a baking rack
• B. These cookies cannot be cooked in a microwave oven
• C. Folding in peanut butter must be done gently
• D. Beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct statement about the passage is that beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously. In the provided extract, it mentions 'Beat egg white until foamy. Stir in sugar, beat again until stiff peaks form.' This process of beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form requires vigorous stirring. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention using a baking rack for cooking the cookies. Choice B is incorrect as the passage provides instructions for baking the cookies in an oven. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not emphasize the need for gentle folding when mixing in the peanut butter.
