1. Why was the roadway of the Golden Gate Bridge so dangerous to build?

• A. It was located above a fast-moving river.
• B. It had to be perfectly balanced to avoid collapse.
• C. The materials used were very unstable.
• D. It was built during bad weather.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage describes how the road had to be balanced during construction to avoid collapse into the bay. Choice A is incorrect as the Golden Gate Bridge crosses a strait, not a river. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of unstable materials. Choice D is incorrect as bad weather is not highlighted as a specific reason for the danger in building the roadway.

2. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

• A. Bicycles are better.
• B. A ride through the history of bicycles.
• C. Cycle your way to fitness.
• D. The popularity of bicycles.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The best title for this passage would be 'A ride through the history of bicycles' as it provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development of bicycles from their invention to modern times. Choice A, 'Bicycles are better,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of the passage, which focuses on the history and evolution of bicycles rather than their superiority. Choice C, 'Cycle your way to fitness,' is misleading as the passage does not primarily discuss the fitness aspect of cycling but instead focuses on the evolution of bicycle design. Choice D, 'The popularity of bicycles,' is too narrow as it only touches on one aspect mentioned briefly in the passage, while the passage covers a broader historical perspective.

3. The term afforded to, as used in the third paragraph, can best be defined as ___________.

• A. Traversed by
• B. Presented to
• C. Removed from
• D. Paid for by

Correct answer: B

Rationale: "Afforded to" in this context means "presented to," as it refers to the education options available to women at the time.

4. What is implied by the author's mention of the Kayapo people in the passage on the Amazon Rainforest?

• A. The Kayapo people destroy the environment for farming.
• B. The Kayapo people farm in an environmentally friendly way.
• C. The Kayapo people contribute to deforestation.
• D. The Kayapo people hunt animals for survival.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The mention of the Kayapo people in the passage highlights how they farm in an environmentally friendly manner. Instead of using chemicals, they enrich the soil by burning wood and plant banana trees, attracting wasps that feed on harmful insects. This sustainable farming practice showcases their efforts to coexist with the rainforest ecosystem without causing harm. The other choices are incorrect: A is refuted by the passage as the Kayapo people are described as farming in an environmentally friendly way, C is incorrect as the passage does not mention the Kayapo people contributing to deforestation, and D is not supported by the text as there is no mention of the Kayapo people hunting animals for survival.

5. Throughout this passage the word suit means?

• A. A set of clothing to be worn together
• B. To be convenient or right for
• C. To request or appeal persistently
• D. One of the four categories in a deck of cards.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the passage, the word 'suit' is used in the context of card games, specifically in relation to playing cards of the same category. It refers to being convenient or right for a particular purpose in the game of Bridge. The other choices are incorrect because 'suit' in this passage does not refer to a set of clothing (option A), persistent requesting (option C), or one of the four categories in a deck of cards (option D). The passage clearly explains how the term 'suit' is used in the context of playing cards in the game of Bridge.
