1. 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 changing names.
• B. The speaker is experiencing a determination to find Hyde.
• 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 correct answer is D. The speaker's final comment indicates a determination to keep looking for Hyde, as he expresses his intention to become 'Mr. Seek' if the other person is indeed 'Mr. Hyde.' This shows that the speaker is persistent in his search for Hyde, as he believes that discovering Hyde's identity could potentially unravel the mystery and clarify his friend's strange behavior. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the final comment does not imply a name change, an identity crisis, or a mistaken search but rather a firm decision to continue seeking out Hyde.

2. Which of the following statements best summarizes the central purpose of this text?

• A. Gulliver details his experiences and interactions with the natives of the new land.

• C. Gulliver becomes acquainted with the people and practices of his new surroundings.
• D. Gulliver reflects on the cultural differences between his homeland and the new land.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the text describes how Gulliver becomes familiar with the customs and practices of the new society he finds himself in. He interacts with the natives, learns their language, and participates in their shows, indicating his growing understanding and acceptance of the new culture. Choice A is incorrect because the text goes beyond detailing his experiences to focus on his growing familiarity with the society. Choice B is incorrect because Gulliver not only observes but actively engages with the customs. Choice D is incorrect as the focus is on Gulliver's adaptation rather than reflecting on cultural differences.

• A. Cold Harbor
• B. Chancellorsville
• C. Atlanta

Cold Harbor occurred in June 1864, Chancellorsville in May 1863, and Atlanta in July-September 1864. Therefore, Shiloh is the correct answer. Choice A (Cold Harbor) is incorrect because it happened after Shiloh. Choice B (Chancellorsville) is incorrect because it occurred after Shiloh.

4. According to the table above, how many more shirts were ordered in size medium than size small in the month of January?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The corrected question asks how many more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small in January. The table shows that two more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Two.' Choice A, 'One,' is incorrect as the comparison is between medium and small, not medium and large. Choices C and D, 'Three' and 'Four,' are incorrect as the actual difference is two as per the data provided in the table.

• A. Give her a stuffed animal.
• B. Read her a couple of books.
• C. Rock her in her chair.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Read her a couple of books.' The instructions in the extract clearly state that the first thing to do to get the young girl to sleep is to read her a couple of books. This helps her settle down for sleep. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because giving her a stuffed animal, rocking her in her chair, or playing music in her room are mentioned in the instructions but not as the first step to get her to sleep.
