• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: A

Therefore, A is the most appropriate section for Lise to find research material related to Freud's psychological theories.

• C. Countries must revisit their energy policies before it's too late.
• D. Earth's climate naturally goes through warming and cooling periods.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Global temperatures are increasing.' The scientist and politician both agree on this point based on the context provided. Choice A is incorrect because while it might be a common belief among scientists, the politician's agreement is not explicitly mentioned. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a course of action rather than a point of agreement. Choice D is incorrect as it contradicts the consensus that global temperatures are currently increasing due to human activities, not just natural climate cycles.

3. This passage describes characters' feelings in Madame Butterfly as all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. Romantic
• B. Poignant
• C. Tragic
• D. Musical

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage describes the characters' feelings in Madame Butterfly as romantic, poignant, and tragic, but not musical. The story depicts the emotional aspects of love, heartbreak, and tragedy, evoking strong feelings of romance, sadness, and tragedy. While music plays a crucial role in the opera Madame Butterfly, the characters' feelings are not specifically described as musical, making choice D the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are supported by the emotional context provided in the extract.

4. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Saturday

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Based on the town's watering schedule, residents with addresses ending in 7 should water their lawns on Wednesdays. The Morgan family's address ends in 7, so they should set up their watering schedule for Wednesdays. Therefore, the correct answer is Wednesday. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they correspond to days designated for addresses ending in other numbers according to the town's schedule.

5. Which of the answer choices best describes the appropriateness of Mara's data sample?

• A. The sample is biased because it only includes teachers who are immersed in the technology field.
• B. The sample is biased because the sample size is too small.
• C. The sample is biased because the sample size is too large.
• D. The sample is not biased and is appropriate for the study.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Mara's data sample is biased because it only includes teachers who are immersed in the technology field, specifically those teaching a computer software course. This limits the perspectives gathered, leading to skewed results. Choice B is incorrect because the issue lies in the sample composition, not its size. Choice C is incorrect as a large sample size does not necessarily indicate bias. Choice D is incorrect as the sample's bias compromises the study's validity.
