1. Given the style of writing for the passage, which of the following magazines would be the best fit for this article?

• A. Scientific Spelunking
• B. Family Fun Days
• C. Adventures for Men
• D. Mud Magazine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The article's style is light-hearted and aimed at families looking for outdoor adventures. It suggests activities suitable for families with children, making Family Fun Days the best fit among the given magazine options. 'Scientific Spelunking' may focus more on the scientific aspects rather than family-friendly fun. 'Adventures for Men' may cater to a male audience rather than families. 'Mud Magazine' seems more focused on mud-related content, which doesn't align with the family-friendly, outdoor adventure theme of the article.

2. Jensen has been assigned a project on ancient Greece, but the project terms are general. This means that he can select any topic of interest to him from Ancient Greece and focus his project around this. Jensen is overwhelmed and does not even know where to begin. What section of the library should he check first for general information about ancient Greece?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 400
• D. 900

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jensen should check the 900 section of the library for general information about ancient Greece. In the Dewey Decimal Classification system, the 900 section covers history and geography. Ancient Greece falls under the category of history, so Jensen can find a wide range of resources related to ancient Greece in this section, which will provide him with a good starting point for his project. Choice A (100) refers to Philosophy and psychology, Choice B (200) to Religion, and Choice C (400) to Languages, which are not directly related to ancient Greece, making them incorrect options.

3. What is the author's point of view?

• A. First person
• B. Third person limited
• C. Third person omniscient
• D. Objective

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage is told from a third person limited point of view because the thoughts and perspectives of two specific characters, Michael and Lana June, are presented. The narrator provides insight into their thoughts, but remains limited to their viewpoints without revealing the thoughts of any other characters. This extract demonstrates the limited perspective by showing the inner thoughts of Michael and Lana June, indicating a third person limited narrative. Third person omniscient would involve knowing the thoughts of all characters, which is not the case here. First person would involve using 'I' to narrate, which is absent. Objective point of view would present only observable actions without any character's thoughts or feelings, which is not the case in this passage.

4. Which of the following statements would make the best conclusion to an essay about civil rights activist Rosa Parks?

• A. Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat, leading to her arrest.
• B. Rosa Parks was a hero to many, symbolizing the power of ordinary people in bringing about change.
• C. Rosa Parks died in 2005 at the age of 92.
• D. Rosa Parks' actions sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal event in the Civil Rights Movement.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The best conclusion to an essay about civil rights activist Rosa Parks should reflect her significance and impact. Choice A, while true, focuses on a specific event rather than summarizing her broader influence. Choice C, though factual, is not a strong conclusion as it does not capture the essence of her legacy. Choice D, although related to her actions, is not as encompassing as Choice B. Option B is the most suitable conclusion as it highlights Rosa Parks' heroism, emphasizing how she inspired change and symbolized the power of ordinary individuals in making a difference.

5. Which of the following is a logical conclusion that can be drawn from the information in the passage above?

• A. Victor's long reign provided the opportunity for her to bring balance to England and right the wrongs that had occurred during the reigns of her uncles.
• B. It was the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta that motivated the remaining princes to marry and start families.
• C. The Duke of Kent had hoped for a son but was delighted with his good fortune in producing the surviving heir that his brothers had failed to produce.
• D. King William IV was unreasonably suspicious of the Duchess of Kent's motivations, as she cared only for her daughter's well-being.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage mentions that after the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta, the remaining princes considered marrying and starting families since her death left the succession undetermined. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not provide information about Victoria's reign bringing balance or righting any wrongs during her uncles' reigns. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of the Duke of Kent having a preference for a male heir or being disappointed with a female heir. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not give details about King William IV's suspicions towards the Duchess of Kent or her motivations.
