1. What event marked the start of Rosa Parks' central role in the Civil Rights Movement?

• A. Her arrest for not giving up her seat.
• B. Her involvement in protests.
• C. She became an advocate for voting rights.
• D. She became a central figure in the Civil Rights Movement.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rosa Parks' arrest for not giving up her seat on the bus was the event that marked the start of her central role in the Civil Rights Movement. This act of civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and brought national attention to the issue of racial segregation. Choice B is incorrect as her arrest, not just her involvement in protests, was the turning point. Choice C is also incorrect as her advocacy for voting rights came later in her civil rights activism. Choice D is incorrect as the event of her arrest was the beginning of her prominent role, not a consequence of already being a central figure.

2. Based on the facts in the passage, what prediction could you make about the time immediately following the Louisiana Purchase?

• A. Explorers were already on their way to the region.
• B. The government aimed to increase its power.
• C. Government officials would ensure explorers were dispatched to the region.
• D. Explorers would expect compensation for their work.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage mentions that explorers like Lewis and Clark were sent to the newly acquired Louisiana Territory immediately after the Louisiana Purchase. This indicates that explorers were already on their way to the region following the purchase. Choice B is incorrect as there is no direct mention of the government wanting to increase its power right after the purchase. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not state that government officials would specifically ensure explorers were dispatched to the region. Choice D is incorrect because there is no information provided in the passage about explorers expecting payment for their work.

3. 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.

4. What can the reader conclude from the passage above?

• A. The kingsnake is dangerous to humans.
• B. The coral snake and the kingsnake are both hunted by the same predators.
• C. It's safe to handle snakes in the woods because you can easily tell whether they're poisonous.
• D. The kingsnake changes its markings when hawks or eagles are close by.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage explains that the kingsnake mimics the venomous coral snake's markings to deter predators, particularly hawks and eagles, which cannot differentiate between the two species. This implies that both the coral snake and the kingsnake face similar threats from predators in their shared habitat. Choice A is incorrect because the passage clearly states that the kingsnake is nonvenomous, so it is not dangerous to humans. Choice C is incorrect as the passage highlights that not all snakes with flashy markings are venomous, emphasizing the need for caution. Choice D is incorrect as there is no mention of the kingsnake changing its markings in response to the presence of hawks or eagles in the passage.

• C. The library has added the fee to discourage patrons from spending too long on the computers.
• D. The library is covering its Internet service costs by passing on the fee to patrons.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The logical conclusion that can be derived from the announcement is that the library has added the fee to discourage patrons from spending too long on the computers. This conclusion is supported by the fact that the library is limiting computer usage to 30 minutes and implementing a fee for extended use. Choice A is incorrect because there is no indication in the announcement that the library plans to purchase more computers. Choice B is incorrect as there is no mention of budget cuts or using the fee to compensate for them in the announcement. Choice D is incorrect as there is no information in the announcement about the library covering its Internet service costs by passing on the fee to patrons.
