1. Which of the following bones is not associated with the leg?

• A. femur
• B. tibia
• C. patella
• D. radius

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, radius. According to the passage, the radius is a bone in the lower arm, not in the leg. The femur, tibia, and patella are bones associated with the leg. The femur is the thigh bone, the tibia is the shin bone, and the patella is the kneecap. Therefore, the radius is the only bone among the options that is not associated with the leg.

2. What is the purpose of the use of repetition in the following passage? It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions.

• A. It serves as a demonstration of Mr. Lanyon's mental state.
• B. It highlights the church bells mentioned in the story.
• C. It reflects Mr. Utterson's ambivalence.
• D. It emphasizes Mr. Utterson's anguish in failing to identify Hyde's whereabouts.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The repetition in the passage emphasizes Mr. Utterson's mental struggle and persistence as he grapples with his thoughts and questions. It conveys the intensity of his anguish and frustration in trying to identify Hyde's whereabouts, rather than reflecting Mr. Lanyon's or Mr. Utterson's ambivalence. The mention of church bells is not relevant to the passage, making choice B incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as the repetition underscores Mr. Utterson's emotional turmoil and his desperate search for answers.

3. Due to his many interests and pursuits, Eratosthenes dabbled in a variety of fields, and he is credited with a theory known as the sieve of Eratosthenes. This is an early algorithm used to determine prime numbers. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find out more about the current applications of the sieve of Eratosthenes?

• A. 0
• B. 100
• C. 400
• D. 500

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 500 section of the library, which is dedicated to science and mathematics. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical concept, so current applications and research related to it would be found in this section. Choice A (0) is incorrect as it is for general works. Choice B (100) is for philosophy and psychology, which are unrelated to mathematics. Choice C (400) is for languages, not mathematics.

4. On what point would the authors of both passages agree?

• A. Fairy tales have a common origin.
• B. The same fairy tale may develop independently in different cultures.
• C. There are often common elements in fairy tales from various cultures.
• D. Fairy tales depict basic human fears.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Both authors in the passages agree that fairy tales, despite originating from different cultures, often contain similar elements such as magical occurrences, mythical creatures, and fundamental human desires and fears. This suggests that there are frequent common elements found in fairy tales across different cultures. Choice A is incorrect because the authors do not specifically mention a single common origin for all fairy tales. Choice B is incorrect as the passages emphasize that similar versions of fairy tales can be found in various cultures, rather than developing independently. Choice D is incorrect as while one passage discusses how fairy tales capture basic human fears, the other passage focuses on a broader spectrum of common elements beyond fears.

5. Which of the following could be considered a theme of the passage?

• A. Anyone can become royalty.
• B. People should only marry for advantage.
• C. Queen Victoria was a fair, but unlikely, queen.
• D. Even the most unlikely events can happen.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The theme of the passage revolves around the idea that even the most unlikely events can happen. The passage describes the improbable events leading to Queen Victoria becoming the queen, emphasizing how unpredictable and unexpected her rise to the throne was. Choice A is not supported as Victoria was born into royalty, so not just anyone can become royalty as implied. While there are mentions of marriages for advantage in the passage, it is not the central theme but rather a detail in the historical context, making choice B incorrect. Although the passage discusses Queen Victoria being an unlikely queen, this statement is too specific to be a theme; a theme should be broader and universally applicable, making choice C incorrect.
