1. 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.

2. The author's purpose, major ideas, supporting details, visual aids, and vocabulary are the five key elements of what type of text?

• A. Fictional texts
• B. Narratives
• C. Persuasive texts
• D. Informational texts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's purpose, major ideas, supporting details, visual aids, and vocabulary are key elements typically found in informational texts. Informational texts aim to inform and educate readers about a specific topic, which is why these elements are crucial for effectively conveying information in a clear and organized manner. Fictional texts focus more on storytelling and creativity rather than presenting facts and information, so they do not always include these specific elements. Narratives primarily focus on telling a story or recounting events, while persuasive texts aim to convince or sway the audience's opinion, so they may not always encompass all the elements mentioned in the question.

3. Based on the passage, which of the following is the most logical conclusion?

• A. The professor will offer another extra credit project later in the semester.
• B. Students who choose two extra-credit options will be given double the extra credit.
• C. Students who choose the third option will receive one quarter of the offered extra credit.
• D. Students are most likely to earn maximum extra credit by choosing the first option.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Based on the passage, the most logical conclusion is that students are most likely to earn the maximum extra credit by choosing the first option. The first option provides an extra credit project worth 150% of the point value of the essay exam, giving students more than enough chance to make up the difference and raise their overall score. The second and third options also offer the same 150% extra credit, but they involve more subjective scoring or group work, respectively, which may not ensure maximum extra credit. Therefore, choosing the first option is the best way for students to earn the most extra credit.

4. Which of the following is a primary source that would be relevant to a biography about Jules Verne?

• A. Articles about Jules Verne written after his death
• B. Reviews of Jules Verne’s works
• C. Film adaptations of Jules Verne’s works
• D. Letters exchanged by Jules Verne and a close friend

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Letters exchanged by Jules Verne and a close friend would be a primary source as they were written during his lifetime, providing direct insight into his thoughts and actions. Choices A, B, and C are not primary sources. Articles written after his death, reviews of his works, and film adaptations are considered secondary sources as they are interpretations or analyses based on primary materials.

5. After an unexpected rearrangement of their schedules, Thomas and his sister realize that they will have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since Thomas and his sister have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m., they need to watch the film later in the evening. Among the options, Reveler Cinema offers showtimes after 10 p.m. with a showing at 7:15 p.m., making it the best choice. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House do not have showtimes after 10 p.m., making Reveler Cinema the most suitable option for the siblings to catch a film at that time.
