1. Which of the following best describes the mode of the passage?

• A. expository
• B. narrative
• C. persuasive
• D. descriptive

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage is expository as it provides factual information about the sensory, motor, and perceptual development in babies during the first two years of life. It explains how babies' senses develop, focusing on hearing and vision in their early stages. The passage presents these developmental milestones in a straightforward and informative manner, making it expository. Choice B (narrative) is incorrect because the passage does not tell a story or present a sequence of events involving characters. Choice C (persuasive) is incorrect as there is no attempt to convince or persuade the reader of a particular viewpoint. Choice D (descriptive) is incorrect because the passage does not aim to create a vivid picture or impression using sensory details; instead, it focuses on providing clear information about sensory development in infants.

2. Based on the author's support and evidence, which of the following is a valid evaluation of the paragraph?

• A. It is an entertaining piece based on personal opinion.
• B. It is part of a historical account of the Great Emu War in Australia.
• C. It is a detailed analysis of military strategies during the Great Emu War.
• D. It is a scientific report on the impact of emus on the Australian ecosystem.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The paragraph provides a historical account of the Great Emu War in Australia, outlining the events, dates, and outcomes of the conflict between the Australian government and the emu population. It does not focus on personal opinion, military strategies, or the scientific impact of emus, making choice B the most accurate evaluation. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the content of the paragraph.

3. Which organizational style is used in the following passage?

• A. Cause and effect order
• B. Compare and contrast order
• C. Spatial order
• D. Time order

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage uses a cause and effect order to explain the reasons for the cafe's lack of success. It presents causes (higher prices and early closure) first, followed by their effects (students unable to afford food and beverages, students going elsewhere). This structure helps readers understand the relationship between the causes and their resulting effects. Choice B, 'Compare and contrast order,' is incorrect as the passage does not focus on comparing different aspects or contrasting ideas. Choice C, 'Spatial order,' is incorrect as it does not describe physical locations or arrangements. Choice D, 'Time order,' is incorrect as the passage does not primarily follow a chronological sequence of events.

4. During his study, Jenson finds himself increasingly drawn to information about the theaters of ancient Greece and particularly to the plays that the Greeks performed. What section of the library should he check next for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece?

• A. 200
• B. 600
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jenson should check section 800 for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece. Section 800 generally covers literature and includes works of literary criticism, which would likely have information on ancient Greek plays, playwrights, and theatrical practices. Choice A (200) is for Religion, not related to ancient Greek plays. Choice B (600) is for Technical and applied science, unrelated to literature. Choice C (700) is for Arts and recreation, more related to the performing arts but not specifically focused on written plays from ancient Greece.

5. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Saturday

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Based on the town's watering schedule, residents with addresses ending in 7 should water their lawns on Wednesdays. The Morgan family's address ends in 7, so they should set up their watering schedule for Wednesdays. Therefore, the correct answer is Wednesday. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they correspond to days designated for addresses ending in other numbers according to the town's schedule.
