1. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option for Thomas and his sister?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best cinema option for Thomas and his sister after the unexpected rearrangement of their schedules is Best Seat in The House. This is because the only showing available after 10:30 p.m. is at 11:25 p.m. at Best Seat in The House. None of the other cinemas have showings available after 10:30 p.m., making Best Seat in The House the optimal choice for them to catch the film. Twin Theatres, Reveler Cinema, and Big Screen 14 do not have showings after 10:30 p.m., so they are not suitable options for Thomas and his sister given their schedule constraints.

2. A 'competitive salary' is one that is

• A. Much less than salaries offered for comparable jobs
• B. Much greater than salaries offered for comparable jobs
• C. Similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs
• D. Impossible to compare to the salaries offered for comparable jobs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A competitive salary is one that is similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs. In the context of the job advertisement provided, a competitive salary is typically in line with what other employers are paying for similar positions to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Choice A is incorrect because a competitive salary is not 'much less' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be competitive. Choice B is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'much greater' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be fair and competitive. Choice D is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'impossible to compare to' the salaries offered for comparable jobs; it is meant to be competitive and aligned with industry standards.

• A. To describe the sun-fish's reproductive habits.
• B. To explain the ecosystem of the sun-fish.
• C. To persuade readers to protect aquatic ecosystems.
• D. To discuss the mating habits of sun-fish.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage describes the reproductive habits of the sun-fish, focusing on how the mother sun-fish provides and guards her spawn until they are ready to take care of themselves. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not delve into the broader ecosystem of the sun-fish. Choice C is incorrect as there is no persuasive element in the passage about protecting aquatic ecosystems. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not discuss the mating habits of sun-fish but rather the care provided by the mother sun-fish.

4. Which event is out of sequence in the story?

• A. Installing the dog run in the backyard.
• B. Enrolling the dog in obedience classes.
• C. The physical exam confirming the dog's health.
• D. The dog's next obedience class.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the story describes the sequence of events after adopting the dog. After bringing Robin home, the sequence includes confirming her health with a physical exam, buying supplies, installing a dog run, and then taking her to the vet. Enrolling her in obedience classes is mentioned to start the following week, making it the next logical step. Therefore, the detail about the dog's next obedience class is not out of sequence. Choices A, B, and C are all in the correct sequence according to the events described in the story.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage vividly describes the experience of going to the theatre, highlighting personal feelings and emotions that the author relates to. The passage emphasizes the connection between the audience and the story, indicating a personal perspective rather than research from a library, online source, or archive. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the passage's content is focused on personal experiences and emotions related to the theatre, rather than academic or recorded sources.
