1. Based on the facts in the passage, what prediction could you make about the time immediately following the Louisiana Purchase?

• A. Explorers were already on their way to the region.
• B. The government aimed to increase its power.
• C. Government officials would ensure explorers were dispatched to the region.
• D. Explorers would expect compensation for their work.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage mentions that explorers like Lewis and Clark were sent to the newly acquired Louisiana Territory immediately after the Louisiana Purchase. This indicates that explorers were already on their way to the region following the purchase. Choice B is incorrect as there is no direct mention of the government wanting to increase its power right after the purchase. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not state that government officials would specifically ensure explorers were dispatched to the region. Choice D is incorrect because there is no information provided in the passage about explorers expecting payment for their work.

2. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find out more about the current applications of the sieve of Eratosthenes?

• A. 000
• B. 100
• C. 400
• D. 500

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 500 section of the library, which covers science and mathematics, to find out more about the current applications of the sieve of Eratosthenes. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical tool used to determine prime numbers, making the science and mathematics section the most appropriate choice. Philosophy and psychology (100), languages (400), and computer science (000) are not the primary areas where one would typically find information on the applications of this mathematical tool.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following best describes the author's intent in the passage?

• A. to persuade
• B. to entertain
• C. to express feelings
• D. to inform

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's intent in the passage is to inform the reader about the historical events surrounding King James II, his family, and the succession of the English throne. The passage provides a detailed account of the lineage, religious affiliations, and the political implications of James II and his descendants. It does not aim to persuade, entertain, or express feelings, but rather presents a factual narrative of historical events. Therefore, choice D, 'to inform,' is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the passage is focused on presenting historical information rather than persuading, entertaining, or expressing emotions.

5. Which of the following conclusions is well supported by the passage?

• A. The Human Resources team will take longer than initially stated to review candidates and schedule interviews for the position of Lead Technician.
• B. Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview.
• C. The Human Resources team may struggle to find a suitable candidate for the position of Lead Technician due to the high number of applications received.
• D. Mr. Morgan will patiently wait for further communication from the Human Resources team regarding his application for the position of Lead Technician.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage mentions that Mr. Morgan's application for the position of Lead Technician has been received, along with a higher-than-expected number of applications. It also states that the Human Resources team will take longer than previously stated to review candidates and schedule interviews. While there is no direct mention of Mr. Morgan's qualifications or the likelihood of him being offered an interview, it can be inferred that his interest in the position and the competitive application pool suggest that he is well qualified and stands a good chance of being offered an interview. Therefore, the most supported conclusion is that Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention the specific timeframe within which Mr. Morgan was informed about receiving feedback. Choice C is not directly supported by the passage as it does not indicate any challenges in finding a qualified candidate. Choice D is not directly addressed in the passage and is speculative.
