1. Which choice correctly matches these samples with incompletely met criteria?

• A. Sample 1's evidence is not sufficient; sample 2's evidence is not relevant; sample 3's evidence is not factual.
• B. Sample 1's evidence is not factual; sample 2's evidence is not sufficient; sample 3's evidence is not relevant.
• C. Sample 1's evidence is not relevant; sample 2's evidence is not factual; sample 3's evidence is not sufficient.
• D. The evidence of samples 1 and 3 is insufficient; sample 2's evidence is factual but irrelevant.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C correctly matches the samples with incompletely met criteria. It states that sample 1's evidence is not relevant, sample 2's evidence is not factual, and sample 3's evidence is not sufficient. This aligns with the criteria mentioned, indicating a lack of relevance, factual accuracy, and sufficiency in each sample, respectively. Choices A, B, and D do not accurately match the samples with the given criteria, making them incorrect. In choice A, while sample 1's evidence is not sufficient, sample 2's evidence is not relevant, and sample 3's evidence is not factual, the order in which these aspects are mentioned is not aligned with the criteria provided. Choice B has the correct order but mismatches the criteria with the samples. Choice D incorrectly assesses the evidence of the samples, focusing on sufficiency and relevance but not aligning with the specified criteria for each sample.

2. Which of the following terms describes the author's tone in the passage?

• A. Sarcastic
• B. Formal
• C. Informal
• D. Scientific

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author's tone in the passage is informal. The passage provides a narrative about Hedy Lamarr's life and inventions, offering insights into her challenges and achievements in a conversational manner. The use of phrases like 'To relieve this boredom' and 'Just think, we might not have any of those things' indicates a casual and engaging tone, suitable for storytelling. Choice A, 'Sarcastic,' is incorrect as there is no evident use of sarcasm or irony in the passage. Choice B, 'Formal,' is incorrect because the tone is not stiff or ceremonious; instead, it is relaxed and personal. Choice D, 'Scientific,' is also incorrect as the tone is not focused on presenting technical information or research findings but rather on sharing a personal story.

3. Which of the following additional pieces of information supports the claim that napping during the workday will help employees 'be happier, healthier, and more productive'?

• A. In 1999, National Napping Day was founded in response to Daylight Saving Time
• B. Rested people have better impulse control, so they are more likely to choose nutritious food over junk food
• C. Multiple companies have designed special seats or pods specifically for getting the optimal workplace nap
• D. A study showing that the best time of the day for a nap is between 2 and 3 p.m.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The statement that rested people have better impulse control supports the claim that napping during the workday can lead to employees being happier, healthier, and more productive. Improved impulse control can result in better decision-making, including choosing nutritious food over junk food, which contributes to overall well-being and productivity. Choices A, C, and D do not directly address the relationship between napping and improved well-being or productivity, making them less relevant to supporting the claim.

4. A 'competitive salary' is one that is

• A. Much less than salaries offered for comparable jobs
• B. Much greater than salaries offered for comparable jobs
• C. Similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs
• D. Impossible to compare to the salaries offered for comparable jobs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A competitive salary is one that is similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs. In the context of the job advertisement provided, a competitive salary is typically in line with what other employers are paying for similar positions to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Choice A is incorrect because a competitive salary is not 'much less' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be competitive. Choice B is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'much greater' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be fair and competitive. Choice D is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'impossible to compare to' the salaries offered for comparable jobs; it is meant to be competitive and aligned with industry standards.

5. What is an actuary?

• A. A doctor who works in a hospital.
• B. The same as a hospitalist.
• C. An insurance agent who works in a hospital.
• D. A person who assesses insurance risks and premiums.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An actuary is a person who assesses insurance risks and premiums. This is the primary role of an actuary, involving the analysis of financial consequences of risk. Choice A is incorrect as actuaries are not medical professionals. Choice B is incorrect as a hospitalist is a physician who works in a hospital, not related to actuarial work. Choice C is incorrect as actuaries are not insurance agents; they focus on risk assessment and not sales.
