• A. Exploring the Hawaiian Islands: The Best Waterfalls on the Big Island and Maui
• B. Na Pali: The Two-Day Hike That Changes Everything
• C. Pineapples, Taro, and Roasted Pigs: A Dining Guide to Hawaii
• D. The Top Ten: Beaches, Restaurants, and Sightseeing in Honolulu and on Oahu

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Given Gemma's goal of seeing as much as possible in a short time while enjoying outdoor activities and nature, the best travel guide for her would be 'Exploring the Hawaiian Islands: The Best Waterfalls on the Big Island and Maui.' This guide aligns with her interest in outdoor activities and waterfalls, making it the ideal choice to enhance her trip experience. Choice B, 'Na Pali: The Two-Day Hike That Changes Everything,' focuses on a specific hike and may not cover a broad range of attractions Gemma wants to explore. Choice C, 'Pineapples, Taro, and Roasted Pigs: A Dining Guide to Hawaii,' is more food-oriented and doesn't cater to Gemma's interest in outdoor activities. Choice D, 'The Top Ten: Beaches, Restaurants, and Sightseeing in Honolulu and on Oahu,' while offering a variety of attractions, doesn't specifically target Gemma's interest in exploring waterfalls and the natural beauty of Hawaii as she desires.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage provided talks about the cyclical nature of going to the theatre and how it transports individuals into different stories.

4. According to the passages, which situation would not constitute an illegal use of lethal force?

• A. A disgruntled cashier yells obscenities at a customer.
• B. A thief is seen running away with stolen cash.
• C. A man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife.
• D. A woman punches another woman in a bar.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because, according to the passage, lethal force may be legally used in self-defense or to protect others from imminent danger. In the situation where a man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife, the use of lethal force to defend oneself would not constitute an illegal act. Choices A, B, and D do not involve a situation where the use of lethal force in self-defense would be justified, making them incorrect. A disgruntled cashier yelling obscenities, a thief running away with stolen cash, and a woman punching another woman do not present imminent danger that would justify the use of lethal force.

The passage focuses on Washington's advice, leadership, and legacy, particularly his farewell address, highlighting its significance in current times. This choice accurately reflects the primary purpose of the passage. Choice B is incorrect because the passage goes beyond mere introduction, delving into Washington's actions and beliefs. Choice C is incorrect as while the passage does mention Washington's multifaceted role, the primary focus is on his advice and legacy. Choice D is incorrect because the passage does not aim to persuade readers of Washington's heroism but rather inform them about his advice and principles.
