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. What can one reasonably conclude from the final comment of this passage? "If he be Mr. Hyde," he had thought, "I should be Mr. Seek."

• A. The speaker is considering a name change.
• B. The speaker is experiencing an identity crisis.
• C. The speaker has mistakenly been looking for the wrong person.
• D. The speaker intends to continue to look for Hyde.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The speaker's final comment implies that if the person is indeed Mr. Hyde, then the speaker would assume the role of Mr. Seek, indicating a determination to continue searching for Hyde. This suggests that the speaker intends to persist in their search for Hyde rather than giving up or changing direction. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because there is no indication in the passage that the speaker is considering a name change, experiencing an identity crisis, or mistakenly looking for the wrong person. The focus is on the speaker's resolve to find Mr. Hyde.

3. When evaluating the credibility of research sources, which of the following is a valid consideration?

• A. It is credible if published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal.
• B. It is never credible if it is a source published online.
• C. It is not necessarily more credible based on author affiliations.
• D. The number of times a source is cited does not affect its credibility.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. It is credible if published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal because peer review ensures that the research has been evaluated by experts in the field for quality and accuracy before publication. This process enhances the credibility of the research source. Choice B is incorrect because not all online sources are unreliable; credibility depends on various factors beyond the publication medium. Choice C is incorrect because author affiliations can indeed impact credibility, but they are not the sole determinant. Choice D is incorrect as the frequency of citations can indicate the impact of a source but does not guarantee its credibility.

4. To begin developing a position about civil rights for an oral debate, which of the following would be the best source?

• A. A blog created by a proponent of civil rights
• B. An interview with someone who took part in a civil rights march
• C. A history textbook detailing civil rights
• D. A speech by a famous civil rights leader

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A history textbook detailing civil rights would be the best source to begin developing a position for an oral debate. History textbooks provide a comprehensive and objective overview of events, movements, and perspectives related to civil rights. This makes them a reliable and well-rounded source for gathering information and forming a strong position. Choice A, a blog created by a proponent of civil rights, may offer valuable insights but could be biased or lack the depth and breadth of information provided in a history textbook. Choice B, an interview with someone who took part in a civil rights march, provides a personal perspective which can be valuable but might not cover all aspects or historical contexts of civil rights. Choice D, a speech by a famous civil rights leader, offers inspirational content but may not provide the comprehensive background and multiple viewpoints necessary for a well-rounded position in a debate.

5. Which of the following is not an example of something the author of Passage 1 claims travels from place to place through human movement?

• A. Fairy tales
• B. Language
• C. Ideas
• D. Foods

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The author of Passage 1 explicitly mentions language, ideas, and foods as examples of things that travel from place to place through human movement. However, fairy tales are not mentioned in the text as one of the elements that travel through human movement. While fairy tales do spread geographically through human retelling, they are not directly supported as an example in this context, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are mentioned in the passage as elements that do travel through human movement, further emphasizing that fairy tales are the exception in this specific context.
