1. 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.

2. What is the first step to take after planting potatoes?

• A. Mound soil around the base of the plant.
• B. Water immediately.
• C. Mix fertilizer or compost into loosened soil.
• D. Place potatoes 1 foot apart.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Water immediately. After planting potatoes, the first step should always be to water them immediately. This is crucial to settle the soil around the newly planted potatoes, ensuring good contact between the roots and the soil. Watering helps kickstart the growth process and provides the necessary moisture for the newly planted potatoes to establish themselves successfully. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because mounding soil, mixing fertilizer/compost, and spacing potatoes should be done before or during planting, not immediately after.

3. Which statement from the passage best supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio during an interview is a good practice for journalists?

• A. Journalists often use a recording device to capture the audio transcript of an interview with a subject.
• B. Relying on a recording device is not without troubles, however.
• C. As a result, a portion of an interview can be lost without any way to reclaim it.
• D. This dual-note method means that most of the time, a wise journalist has two good resources to use as he or she writes the article draft.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The statement about the dual-note method best supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio is a good practice. It highlights the advantage of having two resources - notes and audio recordings - which provide comprehensive coverage of the interview. Choice A simply mentions the use of a recording device but does not emphasize the benefits of combining it with note-taking. Choices B and C focus on the limitations or potential issues with using recording devices, which do not promote the practice as positively as Choice D.

4. What can one reasonably conclude from the final comment of this passage?

• A. The speaker is considering a name change.
• B. The speaker is experiencing an identity crisis.
• C. The speaker has mistakenly been looking for the wrong person.
• D. The speaker intends to continue to look for Hyde.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The final comment in the passage indicates that Mr. Utterson intends to keep searching for Mr. Hyde, showing his determination. The passage describes how Mr. Utterson is troubled by questions about Hyde, engaging not just his intellect but also his imagination. Despite the lack of information obtained from Lanyon, Mr. Utterson continues to ponder the problem late into the night, suggesting his commitment to uncovering the mystery. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because there is no indication in the passage that the speaker is considering a name change, experiencing an identity crisis, or mistakenly looking for the wrong person. The passage focuses on Mr. Utterson's persistent search for Hyde, emphasizing his unwavering resolve.

5. What is the purpose of this passage?

• A. To describe the sun-fish's reproductive habits.
• B. To explain the ecosystem of the sun-fish.
• C. To persuade readers to protect aquatic ecosystems.
• D. To discuss the mating habits of sun-fish.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage describes the reproductive habits of the sun-fish, focusing on how the mother sun-fish provides and guards her spawn until they are ready to take care of themselves. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not delve into the broader ecosystem of the sun-fish. Choice C is incorrect as there is no persuasive element in the passage about protecting aquatic ecosystems. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not discuss the mating habits of sun-fish but rather the care provided by the mother sun-fish.
