1. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the passage?

• A. The Vikings disliked exploring the New World.
• B. Leif Erikson's banishment led to his exploration of Canada.
• C. Leif Erikson never shared his stories with the King of Norway.
• D. Historians have difficulty pinpointing events in Viking history.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. It can be inferred from the passage that historians have difficulty definitively pinpointing Viking historical events. The passage highlights the uncertainty around Leif Erikson's birth year, conflicting accounts of interactions with natives, and the lack of clarity regarding specific events in Viking history. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. There is no indication in the passage that the Vikings disliked exploring the New World; Leif Erikson's banishment did not directly lead to his exploration of Canada but rather his desire to spread Christianity and find new lands; and there is no mention of Leif Erikson not sharing his stories with the King of Norway.

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. Raoul has an upcoming school project, and his own computer is not working. He needs to use the library computer, and he has estimated that he will need to be on the computer for approximately an hour and a half. How much of a fee can Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

• A. $6
• B. $9
• C. $12
• D. $15

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Raoul needs to use the computer for 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes are free, so he would pay for the remaining 60 minutes, which is 4 intervals of 15 minutes each. Each 15-minute period incurs a $3 charge, so for 60 minutes, Raoul would pay 4 x $3 = $12. Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $12 for his computer use at the library. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the provided information.

4. Which of the following describes the type of writing used in the passage?

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The type of writing used in the passage is expository. Expository writing aims to provide information, explain concepts or ideas, and present factual details without trying to persuade or tell a story. In the passage, the text focuses on providing factual information about 'The Five,' their backgrounds, and their influence on classical music without any persuasive elements or narrative storytelling. The passage educates and informs the reader about the topic, which aligns with the characteristics of expository writing. Therefore, 'expository' is the correct description. Choice A (narrative) is incorrect as the passage does not tell a story but rather presents factual information. Choice B (persuasive) is incorrect because there is no attempt to persuade the reader in the passage. Choice D (technical) is also incorrect as the passage does not involve technical instructions or specialized technical details, but rather general information about the subject matter.

5. In which chapter should she look for more information on herbal remedies to combat eczema?

• A. Chapter 8
• B. Chapter 10
• C. Chapter 11
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Eczema is a topical condition, so Chapter 12 (section D) would be the most appropriate place to look for information on herbal remedies to combat it. Chapter 8 focuses on herbs for adult needs, and while it may contain some relevant information, it is not specific to topical conditions like eczema. Chapters 10 and 11 cover respiratory and digestive conditions respectively, which are not relevant to treating eczema. Therefore, Chapter 12 is the best choice for Clothilde to find herbal remedies to combat eczema.
