1. Sarah also wants to offer her vegan guests a slightly more filling option such as a light soup with some biscuits. Which two chapters of the cookbook should she consult?

• A. Chapter II and Chapter III
• B. Chapter I and Chapter III
• C. Chapter II and Chapter IV
• D. Chapter V and Chapter VI

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Sarah wants to offer her vegan guests a slightly more filling option such as a light soup with some biscuits. Chapter II of the cookbook covers light soups, making it a suitable choice for soup ideas. Chapter IV focuses on baking and bread recipes, including biscuits. By consulting Chapter II for soup recipes and Chapter IV for biscuit recipes, Sarah can find appropriate dishes for her vegan guests. Choice A (Chapter II and Chapter III) is incorrect because Chapter III does not cover biscuits. Choice B (Chapter I and Chapter III) is incorrect as biscuits are not part of Chapter I. Choice D (Chapter V and Chapter VI) is incorrect because these chapters do not contain relevant recipes for a light soup with biscuits.

2. Which of the following stories' messages is significantly distorted through the use of an irrelevant detail?

• A. A soft profile about a local politician's part-time rock band that mentions his political differences with his bandmates
• B. A feature story of a local business owner running for political office in which she admits to having employed illegal laborers
• C. A profile of several local Jewish and Arab business leaders that mentions ongoing hostilities in the Middle East
• D. A news report about a local citizen protesting property tax rates that includes details about an immigration violation he committed twenty years previously

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the news report about a local citizen protesting property tax rates that includes details about an immigration violation he committed twenty years previously, the irrelevant detail about the immigration violation distracts from the main message of the protest against property tax rates. The inclusion of this detail shifts the focus away from the citizen's current concerns and the reasons for his protest, thus distorting the story's message. Choices A, B, and C do not include irrelevant details that significantly distort the main messages of the stories. Choice A mentions political differences with bandmates but still focuses on the politician's part-time rock band. Choice B discusses the employment of illegal laborers but remains centered on the business owner's political aspirations. Choice C talks about ongoing hostilities in the Middle East but does not veer away from the main focus on the local Jewish and Arab business leaders.

3. Considering the list of works that Angela read, into which category does 'The Cask of Amontillado' most likely fit?

• A. newspaper article
• B. book chapter
• C. short story
• D. television show episode

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe is most likely a short story based on the information provided. The list of works that Angela read consisted of classic literature. Since the rule states that short stories should be placed in quotation marks, it aligns with the formatting rule. Therefore, 'The Cask of Amontillado' is most likely categorized as a short story. Choice A, newspaper article, is incorrect because newspaper articles are usually not considered classic literature. Choice B, book chapter, is incorrect as 'The Cask of Amontillado' is a standalone work and not a chapter within a book. Choice D, television show episode, is incorrect as the list of works provided consists of classic literary works, not television shows.

• A. They are offering lifetime warranties on new cars.
• B. The sale will only last one day.
• C. They have the lowest prices in town.
• D. They are offering no money down and low monthly payments.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The author does not mention that Carl's Car Depot is offering lifetime warranties on new cars as a reason to visit. The mentioned reasons include the one-day sale, lowest prices in town, and the offering of no money down and low monthly payments. The extract clearly states that the focus is on the one-day sale, low monthly payments, and the lowest prices available, but there is no mention of lifetime warranties as a reason to visit.

5. Which of the following occurred first in Alexander Graham Bell's life?

• A. Helped found the National Geographic Society.
• B. Developed a metal detector.
• C. Moved to Canada.
• D. Invented the telephone.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Alexander Graham Bell moved to Canada early in his life, before inventing the telephone and developing other technologies. Choice A is incorrect because Bell did not help found the National Geographic Society; this happened years after his major inventions. Choice B is incorrect because Bell developed a metal detector after inventing the telephone. Choice D is incorrect because Bell invented the telephone after moving to Canada.
