1. While researching Chomsky's many theories and arguments, Teddy became interested in post-World War II anarchism. Which section of the library is the most likely to contain the relevant books?

• A. 000
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since anarchism is a social science theory, it falls under the classification of social sciences in the Dewey Decimal System. Section 300 covers social sciences, making it the most suitable section for finding books related to post-World War II anarchism. Choice A (000 - Computer science), Choice B (200 - Religion), and Choice D (900 - History) are incorrect because they do not directly relate to social sciences where anarchism would be classified.

2. Which of the following could accurately subtitle this passage?

• A. The start of the revolution
• B. American march from the sea
• C. The full armies face off
• D. In the state of Massachusetts

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage outlines significant events in Clara Barton's life, starting from her birth in Massachusetts, moving to Washington D.C., her humanitarian work during the Civil War, and her later efforts in Europe and with the Red Cross. The most accurate subtitle for this passage would be 'The start of the revolution,' as it refers to the beginning and progression of Barton's revolutionary work in humanitarian aid and establishing the American branch of the International Red Cross Organization. The other choices are not suitable subtitles as they do not encompass the breadth of Barton's impactful life events described in the passage.

3. Which of the following choices represents the best label for this passage?

• A. definition essay
• B. cause/effect essay
• C. comparison essay
• D. persuasive essay

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage provides factual information and details about the loss of barrier islands due to erosion and its impact on coastal communities. It focuses on defining and describing the issue rather than analyzing causes and effects, making it best classified as a definition essay. Choice B, cause/effect essay, would require a deeper exploration into the causes and effects of the erosion. Choice C, comparison essay, would involve comparing different aspects or scenarios, which is not the focus here. Choice D, persuasive essay, aims to convince the reader of a particular viewpoint, which is not the purpose of this passage.

4. Which aspect of writing engages and connects with the audience, igniting emotion?

• A. Ethos
• B. Logos
• C. Pathos
• D. Kairos

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Pathos.' Pathos refers to the emotional appeal in writing that aims to engage and connect with the audience's emotions. In the provided extract, Charles Dickens appeals to the emotions of the working men and their families, expressing his earnest hope for their involvement in the Mechanic's Institution. Ethos (choice A) relates to ethical appeal, establishing credibility. Logos (choice B) refers to logical appeal, using reason and evidence. Kairos (choice D) pertains to the timeliness or relevance of an argument, considering the opportune moment for persuasion. In this context, Dickens employs pathos to emotionally connect with the audience and convey his message effectively.

5. Which word is most closely synonymous with the word patronage as it appears in the following statement?

• A. Auspices
• B. Aberration
• C. Adulation
• D. Applause

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'Auspices' is most synonymous with 'patronage' in this context, indicating support or sponsorship. In the provided extract, the author expresses a desire to meet with the working men and their families, indicating a sense of support and sponsorship towards them, aligning with the meaning of 'auspices.' The other choices do not capture the idea of support or sponsorship and are therefore incorrect.
