1. Follow these instructions in chronological order to transform the word into something new. What new word has been spelled?

• A. TON
• B. THIN
• C. TIN
• D. TAN

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To transform the word LOATHING into something new, we need to follow the instructions in chronological order, which is to remove letters. Starting with L-O-A-T-H-I-N-G, if we remove the letters in the order given, we are left with T-I-N, which spells the word 'TIN.' This makes choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D do not follow the specific sequence of removing letters from the original word LOATHING, so they are incorrect.

2. Which of the following sentences from the passage includes a fact?

• A. With a running time of 98 minutes, the pacing is quick and efficient.'
• B. You can see the toll this stalking experience has had on her every twitch of her eye and clench of her jaw.'
• C. The close-up shots feel claustrophobic like the perspective is skewed.'
• D. This is a tense thrill ride that will not disappoint fans of Joy Taylor or this genre in general.'

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The sentence 'With a running time of 98 minutes, the pacing is quick and efficient' includes a fact, which is the running time of the movie. This statement provides a concrete, verifiable detail from the passage. Choice B describes a subjective observation about the character's behavior, not a fact. Choice C expresses an opinion about the visual effect of the close-up shots, not a factual detail. Choice D offers an opinion about the movie's appeal to fans of a specific genre, rather than presenting a fact from the passage.

3. Which of the following evidence from the passage supports the inference that providing nap rooms at work can improve employee productivity?

• A. In the recent company-wide audits, many employees have reported fatigue at work.
• B. According to a 2008 study, napping for 60 minutes helped improve verbal memory, motor skills, and perceptual learning better than caffeine.
• C. Many successful companies have adopted the practice of work naps, in industries like tech, manufacturing - even NASA!
• D. Starting today, we will be providing a designated nap room in each office building near the gym and cafeteria to help employees take care of their bodies and minds, so they can be happier, healthier, and more productive.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the evidence from the 2008 study mentioned in the passage supports the inference that napping for 60 minutes can improve verbal memory, motor skills, and perceptual learning better than caffeine. This indicates that providing nap rooms at work can lead to improved productivity by enhancing cognitive functions. Choice A talks about the fatigue reported by employees but does not directly link it to productivity improvement. Choice C mentions that many successful companies have adopted the practice of work naps but does not specifically tie it to productivity enhancement. Choice D states the intention to provide nap rooms for employees but does not provide direct evidence of productivity improvement.

4. What is the purpose of the use of repetition in the following passage? It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions.

• A. It serves as a demonstration of Mr. Lanyon's mental state.
• B. It highlights the church bells mentioned in the story.
• C. It reflects Mr. Utterson's ambivalence.
• D. It emphasizes Mr. Utterson's anguish in failing to identify Hyde's whereabouts.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The repetition in the passage emphasizes Mr. Utterson's mental struggle and persistence as he grapples with his thoughts and questions. It conveys the intensity of his anguish and frustration in trying to identify Hyde's whereabouts, rather than reflecting Mr. Lanyon's or Mr. Utterson's ambivalence. The mention of church bells is not relevant to the passage, making choice B incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as the repetition underscores Mr. Utterson's emotional turmoil and his desperate search for answers.

5. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to learn more about the letters of the Greek alphabet and the meaning of the word 'beta'?

• A. 200
• B. 400
• C. 700
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Jorgen should go to section 400 in the library to learn more about the letters of the Greek alphabet and the meaning of the word 'beta.' Section 400 is dedicated to languages, making it the most suitable place to find information on alphabets. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because Section 200 is about religion, Section 700 is about arts and recreation, and Section 900 is about history, geography, and biography, which are not relevant to Jorgen's search for information on the Greek alphabet.
