1. The Morgan family lives at 5487 South Elm Street. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the provided water schedule for addresses in the town of Audley, odd-numbered addresses ending in 7 and 3, like 5487 South Elm Street, are allowed to water their lawns on Thursdays. Therefore, the Morgan family will be able to water their lawn on Thursday. Choice A (Tuesday), Choice B (Wednesday), and Choice D (Saturday) are incorrect as they do not align with the watering schedule for odd-numbered addresses as per the town's guidelines.

3. Which of the following describes the type of writing used in the passage?

• A. narrative
• B. persuasive
• C. expository
• D. technical

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The type of writing used in the passage is expository. Expository writing aims to provide information, explain concepts or ideas, and present factual details without trying to persuade or tell a story. In the passage, the text focuses on providing factual information about 'The Five,' their backgrounds, and their influence on classical music without any persuasive elements or narrative storytelling. The passage educates and informs the reader about the topic, which aligns with the characteristics of expository writing. Therefore, 'expository' is the correct description. Choice A (narrative) is incorrect as the passage does not tell a story but rather presents factual information. Choice B (persuasive) is incorrect because there is no attempt to persuade the reader in the passage. Choice D (technical) is also incorrect as the passage does not involve technical instructions or specialized technical details, but rather general information about the subject matter.

4. According to the guide, in which of the following seasons would ginger be harvested?

• A. spring
• B. summer
• C. fall
• D. winter

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Ginger is typically harvested in the fall season because ginger roots mature in about 8-10 months after planting. This makes the fall season optimal for harvesting when the roots have reached their full potential. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because ginger is not harvested in spring, summer, or winter according to the guide provided.

5. What is the purpose of the second passage?

• A. To inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed.
• B. To inform the reader about how assault is a minor example of lethal force.
• C. To disprove the previous passage concerning lethal force.
• D. To argue that the use of assault is more common than the use of lethal force.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The second passage aims to inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed. The passage discusses lethal force and provides an example where lethal force may be justifiable, but it does not compare assault to lethal force as in option B. It also does not aim to disprove the previous passage (option C) or argue that assault is more common than lethal force (option D). Therefore, the main purpose of the second passage is to educate the reader about assault.
