1. Sarah is hosting a brunch for a baby shower and knows that several of the guests are strict vegans. She wants to make sure she prepares certain foods correctly to ensure all her guests have something to eat. In particular, she is looking for recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Which chapter of the cookbook should she consult?

• A. Chapter I
• B. Chapter II
• C. Chapter IV
• D. Chapter V

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Chapter II typically focuses on baking and sweet treats, which would likely include recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Sarah should consult this chapter for vegan-friendly versions of these recipes that will cater to her strict vegan guests. Choice A, Chapter I, primarily covers yeast breads, not the specific recipes Sarah is looking for. Choice C, Chapter IV, focuses on elegant, easy entrees, which are not relevant to the sweet treats Sarah wants. Choice D, Chapter V, covers delicious desserts and drinks, but it does not specifically mention the items Sarah is interested in, making it less likely to contain the recipes she needs.

2. Which term is most closely aligned with the definition of the term 'working man' as it is defined in the following passage? 'You will judge for yourselves if I promise too much for the working man, when I say that he will stand by such an enterprise with the utmost of his patience, his perseverance, sense, and support.'

• A. Plebeian
• B. Viscount
• C. Entrepreneur
• D. Bourgeois

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Plebeian.' In the given extract, the term 'working man' is associated with individuals who are part of the working class. Historically, plebeians were common working-class citizens. The passage emphasizes the dedication, patience, and support of the working man towards an enterprise, aligning with the characteristics attributed to plebeians in society. 'Viscount' is a noble title and not related to the working class. 'Entrepreneur' refers to a business person who takes risks to start a business, which is not the focus of the passage. 'Bourgeois' typically refers to the middle class, not specifically the working class like the term 'Plebeian.'

3. What is the meaning of testament as used in the sentence provided?

• A. story
• B. surprise
• C. artifact
• D. evidence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the context provided, the word 'testament' most likely refers to evidence. A testament can be something that serves as proof or confirmation of a fact or situation. In this case, it is used in a non-religious sense to indicate evidence or proof. The other choices are incorrect as 'story' does not fit the context, 'surprise' is not related to the owners' skills mentioned, and 'artifact' does not align with the discussion of the restaurant's success.

4. 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.

5. Which of the following words does the author use to express a derogatory tone?

• A. Predictable
• B. Noisy
• C. Delicate
• D. Roar

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Predictable' because the author uses it in a negative context to imply something as uninspired or lacking creativity. In the passage, the author mentions that following rules can make writing difficult, contrasting writers who adhere to rules with those who break them to succeed. 'Predictable' reflects a derogatory tone as it suggests monotony or lack of originality. Choices B, C, and D do not convey a derogatory tone in the context of the passage. 'Noisy,' 'Delicate,' and 'Roar' are neutral or descriptive words that do not carry a negative connotation.
