1. What information should the author include to help clarify information in the passage?

• A. The fat content of yogurt.
• B. How much calcium is in fortified juice.
• C. Which leafy greens contain calcium.
• D. The definition of lactose intolerance.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author should include information on the definition of lactose intolerance to help readers understand the need for lactose-free alternatives within the milk group. This clarification would provide context for why lactose-free options are recommended and help individuals make informed choices based on their dietary needs. Choices A, B, and C, although related to the topic of calcium-rich foods, do not directly address the issue of lactose intolerance and its implications for choosing suitable dairy alternatives.

2. Which of the following best describes the theme of the passage?

• A. Patronizing
• B. Skeptical
• C. Objective
• D. Nostalgic

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Objective.' The passage presents a factual account of Clara Barton's life events without showing bias or personal feelings. The text outlines significant milestones in Barton's life chronologically, from her birth to her contributions during and after the Civil War, culminating in her advocacy for the establishment of an American branch of the International Red Cross Organization. The passage does not exhibit a patronizing tone (choice A), as it does not talk down to Barton or belittle her achievements. It is also not skeptical (choice B), as it does not express doubt or disbelief in the information presented. Furthermore, the passage is not nostalgic (choice D), as it does not dwell on sentimental feelings or memories of the past. Therefore, 'Objective' is the most suitable description of the passage's theme.

• A. Exploration of love and loss.
• B. Illustration of challenging life decisions.
• C. Reflection on life's journey and choices.
• D. Emphasis on the significance of choosing uncommon paths.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Frost's poem emphasizes that opting for less conventional paths in life adds depth and meaning. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the poem specifically focuses on the importance of selecting uncommon routes rather than love, loss, general life decisions, or life's journey.

4. Which of the following is not an example of something that the author of Passage 1 states might be found in a fairy tale?

• A. Trolls
• B. Witches
• C. Talking animals
• D. Giants

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The author of Passage 1 mentions trolls, elves, giants, and talking animals as examples of imaginary creatures found in fairy tales. However, witches are not specifically mentioned. Therefore, witches are not an example of something the author states might be found in a fairy tale in Passage 1. Choice B is the correct answer. Choice A, trolls, Choice C, talking animals, and Choice D, giants, are all examples provided by the author in the passage, making them incorrect answers.

5. Based on the context of the passage, the reader can infer that this information is likely to appear in which of the following types of works?

• A. A scholarly biography
• B. A mystery novel
• C. A fictional story
• D. A biography

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage provides a detailed historical account of Queen Victoria's lineage, ascension to the throne, and reign, making it suitable for a biography. The passage focuses on presenting factual information about Queen Victoria's life rather than analyzing it, which aligns more with a biography than a scholarly paper. It does not contain elements of mystery or fiction, as it recounts historical events and real-life figures. Therefore, a biography is the most appropriate choice based on the content and style of the passage.
