1. In which chapter should Clothilde look for more information?

• A. Chapter 7
• B. Chapter 9
• C. Chapter 10
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Clothilde should look for more information in Chapter 9, 'Herbs for Immunity,' as her sister's daughter has a chronic cough. Immune-boosting herbs may help strengthen the child's immune system and potentially alleviate the cough. Chapter 9 focuses on herbs that support immune health, making it the most relevant chapter for addressing a chronic cough related to immunity. Chapters 7, 10, and 12 do not specifically focus on immunity or respiratory conditions, making them less likely to provide the information Clothilde needs.

2. During his study, Jenson finds himself increasingly drawn to information about the theaters of ancient Greece and particularly to the plays that the Greeks performed. What section of the library should he check next for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece?

• A. 200
• B. 600
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jenson should check section 800 for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece. Section 800 generally covers literature and includes works of literary criticism, which would likely have information on ancient Greek plays, playwrights, and theatrical practices. Choice A (200) is for Religion, not related to ancient Greek plays. Choice B (600) is for Technical and applied science, unrelated to literature. Choice C (700) is for Arts and recreation, more related to the performing arts but not specifically focused on written plays from ancient Greece.

3. What role do the spiracles play in the respiration of the insects described in the passage?

• A. They allow insects to breathe atmospheric air even when submerged.
• B. They protect the insect's internal organs from water pressure.
• C. They filter oxygen from the water for underwater breathing.
• D. They are used to expel carbon dioxide from the body.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The spiracles in insects serve the crucial function of allowing them to breathe atmospheric air even when submerged. The passage explains that insects have a system of branching air-tubes that carry atmospheric air with oxygen to all tissues. The air enters these tubes through paired air-holes or spiracles, enabling insects to respire even when they are underwater. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the spiracles do not protect internal organs from water pressure, filter oxygen from water for underwater breathing, or expel carbon dioxide from the body. The primary role of spiracles is to facilitate respiration by allowing insects to access atmospheric air.

4. In which chapter should she look for more information on herbal remedies to combat eczema?

• A. Chapter 8
• B. Chapter 10
• C. Chapter 11
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Eczema is a topical condition, so Chapter 12 (section D) would be the most appropriate place to look for information on herbal remedies to combat it. Chapter 8 focuses on herbs for adult needs, and while it may contain some relevant information, it is not specific to topical conditions like eczema. Chapters 10 and 11 cover respiratory and digestive conditions respectively, which are not relevant to treating eczema. Therefore, Chapter 12 is the best choice for Clothilde to find herbal remedies to combat eczema.

5. This passage is mainly about

• A. slaves in the Civil War.
• B. how slaves escaped along the Underground Railroad.
• C. Harriet Tubman's role as an abolitionist leader.
• D. Harriet Tubman's life as a slave.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage is mainly about Harriet Tubman's role as an abolitionist leader. It discusses her efforts to help slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad and highlights her significant impact on the abolitionist movement. The focus is on Tubman's leadership and involvement in the fight against slavery, rather than just her life as a slave or the general experience of slaves during the Civil War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because while the passage mentions slavery, the Civil War, and Tubman's life as a slave, the primary emphasis is on her leadership and activism in the abolitionist movement.
