1. Given the information in the passages, which of the following must be true about assault?

• A. Not all assault is considered an expression of lethal force.
• B. There are various forms of assault.
• C. Smaller, weaker people can commit assault.
• D. Assault can be justified in certain situations.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passages clearly outline that assault can manifest in different forms, including physical strikes, threatening body language, and provocative language. This variety of actions demonstrates that there are indeed various forms of assault. This choice is correct because it aligns with the information provided in the passages. Choice A is incorrect as the passages differentiate between lethal force and assault, indicating that not all assault involves lethal force. Choice C is incorrect since there are no restrictions mentioned regarding who can commit assault. Choice D is incorrect because the passages do not provide a blanket justification for assault but rather emphasize the unlawful and threatening nature of such actions.

2. Based on the pattern in the headings, which of the following is a reasonable heading to insert in the blank spot?

• A. Gray Tree Frog
• B. Tropical Frogs
• C. Newts
• D. Spadefoot Toads

Correct answer: A

Rationale: By observing the headings provided in the extract, we can see that they are sorted alphabetically starting from 'Gray Tree Frog.' Following this alphabetical order, the next heading to be inserted in the blank spot would also come alphabetically next, which is 'Gray Tree Frog.' Choices B, C, and D do not follow the alphabetical pattern established by the existing headings and are therefore incorrect.

3. Which phrase best completes the definition of a memoir?

• A. A historical account of a person's life written by one who has intimate knowledge of the person's life
• B. A historical account of a person's life written by the person himself or herself
• C. A fictional account about a famous person
• D. A nonfictional account about a famous person without factual reference

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A memoir is a historical account of a person's life written by someone who has intimate knowledge of that person's life, not necessarily by the person themselves. This distinguishes it from an autobiography, which is written by the person themselves. Memoirs are nonfictional and based on factual references, making option A the most fitting completion of the definition. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a memoir is not necessarily written by the person about whom it is written, it is not fictional, and it should be based on factual references to be considered a memoir.

4. When students study character development, setting, and plot, what are they studying?

• A. Word analysis
• B. Points of view
• C. Literary analysis of fictional texts
• D. Fluency

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When students study character development, setting, and plot, they are engaging in the analysis of fictional texts. These elements are central to understanding the narrative and how various literary devices are used to convey meaning. Word analysis (choice A) focuses on the study of individual words, which is different from analyzing the broader aspects of a text like character development, setting, and plot. Points of view (choice B) refer to the perspective from which a story is told, which is not the same as studying character development, setting, and plot. Fluency (choice D) pertains to the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and expression, and is not directly related to the analysis of fictional texts.

5. Which of the following would be an effective primary source to support Vivian Harris' argument?

• A. A study showing that fewer students are bullied at schools that require uniforms
• B. An article describing the negative effects of uniforms in American schools
• C. An interview with a local principal who regrets implementing uniform requirements
• D. A persuasive essay written by Vivian that includes statistics and quotes from psychological studies and other students that support her position

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. A persuasive essay written by Vivian directly supports her argument with relevant statistics and quotes, aligning with her stance against uniforms. Choices A, B, and C do not provide direct support for Vivian's argument. Choice A discusses the positive aspect of uniforms in reducing bullying, which contradicts Vivian's viewpoint. Choice B describes negative effects of uniforms, but it does not directly support Vivian's argument against uniforms. Choice C, an interview with a principal regretting uniform requirements, does not offer direct backing for Vivian's stance either.
