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. Which of the following conclusions is well supported by the passage?

• A. The Human Resources team will take longer than initially stated to review candidates and schedule interviews for the position of Lead Technician.
• B. Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview.
• C. The Human Resources team may struggle to find a suitable candidate for the position of Lead Technician due to the high number of applications received.
• D. Mr. Morgan will patiently wait for further communication from the Human Resources team regarding his application for the position of Lead Technician.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage mentions that Mr. Morgan's application for the position of Lead Technician has been received, along with a higher-than-expected number of applications. It also states that the Human Resources team will take longer than previously stated to review candidates and schedule interviews. While there is no direct mention of Mr. Morgan's qualifications or the likelihood of him being offered an interview, it can be inferred that his interest in the position and the competitive application pool suggest that he is well qualified and stands a good chance of being offered an interview. Therefore, the most supported conclusion is that Mr. Morgan is well qualified for the position of Lead Technician and will likely be offered an interview. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention the specific timeframe within which Mr. Morgan was informed about receiving feedback. Choice C is not directly supported by the passage as it does not indicate any challenges in finding a qualified candidate. Choice D is not directly addressed in the passage and is speculative.

3. What best describes Samuel's sample size?

• A. The sample is biased because it has firsthand experience.
• B. The sample contains too few members to draw meaningful conclusions.
• C. The sample contains too many members to make specific claims.
• D. The sample is unbiased and of appropriate size.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Samuel's sample size of 24 students is too small to draw generalizable conclusions about a larger population. While his observations are based on firsthand experience, the sample size is inadequate to make meaningful claims about the relationship between parental involvement and academic success for all students. Choice A is incorrect because bias is not related to sample size but rather the way data is collected. Choice C is incorrect as having too many members would not hinder understanding specifics, but rather provide a more comprehensive view. Choice D is incorrect as the sample size is too small to be considered appropriately sized for making broad claims.

4. Which of the following most accurately describes how the argument proceeds?

• A. The argument proceeds by stating a conclusion, then providing supporting evidence.
• B. The argument proceeds by stating several facts and drawing a conclusion.
• C. The argument proceeds by offering a premise, then refuting it.
• D. The argument proceeds by making a comparison between two subjects.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The argument in the text proceeds by stating a conclusion ('Dwight is the best employee') and then providing supporting evidence ('The top salesman is always the best employee'). This aligns with choice A, where the argument is structured by stating a conclusion first and then offering supporting evidence. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the argument in the text does not simply present facts and draw a conclusion, offer a premise and then refute it, or make a comparison between two subjects.

5. Does the author imply that she believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good in U.S.-made movies?

• A. believes the hero should always appear to be morally worthy.
• B. believes the hero should never appear to be morally worthy.
• C. believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good.
• D. believes the hero is an uninteresting character.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author implies that she believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good in U.S.-made movies. This is evident from her claim that it is hard to find a movie that presents the hero as anything other than supremely morally worthy, suggesting a desire for more complexity and depth in the portrayal of the hero character. Choice A is incorrect because the author does not advocate for the hero always appearing morally worthy. Choice B is incorrect as the author does not suggest that the hero should never appear morally worthy. Choice D is incorrect as the author does not state that the hero is an uninteresting character, but rather emphasizes the need for a more nuanced portrayal.
