1. What is the definition of the word 'haunt' in the following passage? 'From that time forward, Mr. Utterson began to haunt the door in the by street of shops.'

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Haunt' in this context means to visit a place frequently or persistently, which aligns with Mr. Utterson's actions of regularly going to the door in the by street of shops. The other choices are incorrect because 'levitate' means to rise or float in the air, 'terrorize' means to cause extreme fear, and 'daunt' means to make someone feel intimidated or apprehensive, none of which accurately reflect the meaning of 'haunt' in this context.

2. Which of the following sentences distracts the reader from the main focus of the passage?

• A. Malory's work, which is believed to be largely a translation of older French stories, was written in prose style.
• B. Instead of embracing the romance angle, however, Malory focused more on the moral elements within these stories.
• C. In Tennyson's work, Arthur chooses to forgive Guinevere, and she chooses to spend the rest of her days doing good works in a convent.
• D. Charles Dickens is remembered for doing the same thing in his novels about the abuses of lower-class children in Victorian England.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The focus of the passage is on Malory and Tennyson and their interpretations of the Arthurian legends. The mention of Charles Dickens in choice D is irrelevant and distracts the reader from the main discussion. While the other choices discuss Malory's prose style, his focus on moral elements, and Tennyson's approach to the Arthurian stories, choice D brings in a comparison to Charles Dickens and his novels about lower-class children in Victorian England. This mention of Dickens does not directly relate to the main theme of the passage, making it the correct answer as the distracting sentence.

3. According to the passage, what health issue can result from alcohol abuse?

• A. poor magnesium absorption.
• B. an impairment of kidney function.
• C. compromise of the immune system.
• D. gastrointestinal disorders.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, compromise of the immune system. The passage states that alcohol abuse can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and illnesses. This compromise of the immune system can lead to various health issues and exacerbate existing conditions. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect based on the passage. While the passage discusses the impact of alcohol abuse on magnesium absorption and kidney function, it does not directly attribute these issues to alcohol abuse. Gastrointestinal disorders are mentioned in relation to magnesium absorption but are not specifically linked to alcohol abuse.

4. During her research, Lise discovers that Freud's theory of the Oedipal complex was based on ancient Greek mythology that was made famous by Sophocles' play Oedipus Rex. To which section of the library should she go if she is interested in reading the play?

• A. 300
• B. 400
• C. 800
• D. 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 800. Greek mythology and literature are typically found in section 800 of the library classification system, which includes works like Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. Choice A (300) pertains to social sciences, choice B (400) covers languages, and choice D (900) focuses on history, geography, and biography, making them incorrect for finding a play like Oedipus Rex.

5. Based upon the contextual evidence provided in the passage above, what is the meaning of the term enterprise in the third paragraph?

• A. Company
• B. Courage
• C. Game
• D. Cause

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the third paragraph, the term 'enterprise' is used in the context of a group of travelers embarking on a journey together. In this context, 'enterprise' refers to a company or a group of people rather than courage, game, or cause. The word 'enterprise' is commonly used to denote a business organization or company, aligning with the idea of a group traveling together for a common purpose. 'Courage' and 'cause' do not fit the context of the travelers' journey, and 'game' is unrelated to the activities described in the passage.
