1. Due to his many interests and pursuits, Eratosthenes dabbled in a variety of fields, and he is credited with a theory known as the sieve of Eratosthenes. This is an early algorithm used to determine prime numbers. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find out more about the current applications of the sieve of Eratosthenes?

A. 0
B. 100
C. 400
D. 500

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 500 section of the library, which is dedicated to science and mathematics. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical concept, so current applications and research related to it would be found in this section. Choice A (0) is incorrect as it is for general works. Choice B (100) is for philosophy and psychology, which are unrelated to mathematics. Choice C (400) is for languages, not mathematics.

2. Which of the following best describes the way the passages are structured?

A. Both passages open by defining a legal concept and then continue to describe situations in order to further explain the concept.
B. Both passages begin with situations, introduce accepted definitions, and then cite legal ramifications.
C. The first passage presents a long definition while the second passage begins by showing an example of assault.
D. Both cite specific legal doctrines, then proceed to explain the rulings.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passages are structured in a way where both begin by defining a legal concept (assault and battery) and then provide further explanations and examples to help clarify and elaborate on the concepts. Both passages open with a clear definition and then proceed to discuss the concept in various situations. Choice A is correct because it accurately captures the structure of the passages. Choice B is incorrect because the passages do not introduce accepted definitions after presenting situations; they define the legal concepts first. Choice C is incorrect because the first passage does not present a long definition, it begins by defining lethal force and then provides examples. Choice D is incorrect because while the passages explain legal concepts, they do not specifically cite legal doctrines or explain rulings.

3. What event marked the start of Rosa Parks' central role in the Civil Rights Movement?

A. Her arrest for not giving up her seat.
B. Her involvement in protests.
C. She became an advocate for voting rights.
D. She became a central figure in the Civil Rights Movement.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rosa Parks' arrest for not giving up her seat on the bus was the event that marked the start of her central role in the Civil Rights Movement. This act of civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and brought national attention to the issue of racial segregation. Choice B is incorrect as her arrest, not just her involvement in protests, was the turning point. Choice C is also incorrect as her advocacy for voting rights came later in her civil rights activism. Choice D is incorrect as the event of her arrest was the beginning of her prominent role, not a consequence of already being a central figure.

4. According to the extract, which of the following statements most closely correlates with the definition of the term 'working man'?

A. A working man is someone who is well versed in the workings of the soul.
B. A working man is probably not involved in social activities due to the high physical demand of work.
C. A working man is someone who earns wages in a traditional sense, often associated with the middle class.
D. The working man historically transitions from the field to the factory and now to the screen.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: According to the extract, the term 'working man' refers to individuals who are actively employed and earn wages in a traditional sense. Charles Dickens emphasizes the importance of the working man having a share in the management of institutions designed for their benefit. This aligns with choice C, making it the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as the extract does not mention anything about being well versed in the workings of the soul. Choice B is incorrect because the extract does not suggest that working men are not involved in social activities due to the physical demands of their work. Choice D is also incorrect as the extract does not focus on the historical transitions of the working man.

5. What is one point on which the scientist and politician agree?

A. Burning fossil fuels causes global temperatures to rise.
B. Global temperatures are increasing.
C. Countries must revisit their energy policies before it's too late.
D. Earth's climate naturally goes through warming and cooling periods.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Global temperatures are increasing.' The scientist and politician both agree on this point based on the context provided. Choice A is incorrect because while it might be a common belief among scientists, the politician's agreement is not explicitly mentioned. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a course of action rather than a point of agreement. Choice D is incorrect as it contradicts the consensus that global temperatures are currently increasing due to human activities, not just natural climate cycles.
