• A. Hedy Lamarr was the first European actress of the 1990s
• B. Hedy Lamarr sought more speaking roles in her acting career
• C. Hedy Lamarr was content with her contribution to the film industry
• D. Hedy Lamarr worked in American films with various directors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The extract provided does not mention Hedy Lamarr or her acting career. Therefore, we cannot draw any conclusions about her from this text. Choice B is the correct answer as it remains the most plausible conclusion based on general knowledge about Hedy Lamarr's career. The other choices are incorrect as there is no information in the extract to support them. Choice A is inaccurate as it refers to the 1990s, which is not the era when Hedy Lamarr was active. Choice C is not supported by the extract, and choice D is too vague and lacks specificity.

2. With which of the following statements would the author most likely agree?

• A. There is no real mystery about the Bermuda Triangle because most events have reasonable explanations.
• B. Researchers are wrong to expand the focus of the Triangle to the Azores, as this increases the likelihood of accidents.
• C. The official statement of 'causes or reasons unknown' in the loss of the Navy planes was a deliberate concealment from the Navy.
• D. Reducing the legends about the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle will help to reduce the number of reported accidents or shipping losses in the region.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author would most likely agree with the statement that reducing the legends about the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle will help to reduce the number of reported accidents or shipping losses in the region. This aligns with the perspective that many events in the Bermuda Triangle can be explained logically and that dispelling myths and legends can lead to a more accurate understanding of the phenomena occurring in the area. Choice A is incorrect because the author acknowledges that the Bermuda Triangle has sparked interest due to unexplained events. Choice B is incorrect as expanding the focus of the Triangle to the Azores is not associated with an increase in accidents, according to the author. Choice C is incorrect as the author does not suggest a deliberate concealment but rather points towards logical explanations for the events in the Bermuda Triangle.

3. Which term is most closely aligned with the definition of the term working man as it is defined in the following passage?

• A. Plebeian
• B. Viscount
• C. Entrepreneur
• D. Bourgeois

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Plebeian' as it represents the common people, which aligns closely with the definition of a 'working man.' 'Viscount' refers to a nobleman ranking above a baron but below an earl. 'Entrepreneur' is a person who organizes and operates a business, typically taking financial risks in the hope of profit. 'Bourgeois' relates to the middle class, typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values or conventional attitudes.

4. It is December, and you have not yet had a lu vaccine. What should you do if you are among the people for whom a vaccine is recommended?

• A. Call your doctor for an appointment and get the vaccine.
• B. Avoid other people as much as possible.
• C. Wait until next year and get a double dose.
• D. Contact your local public health board to inform them.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If you are among the people for whom a flu vaccine is recommended, the best course of action is to call your doctor for an appointment and get the vaccine. Getting vaccinated can help protect you from getting the flu and reduce the spread of the virus to others. It is important to prioritize your health and take preventive measures, especially during the flu season.

5. Why does Bobo, despite coulrophobia, book more shows and make more money than Gob?

• A. Bobo is an experienced clown.
• B. Despite rampant coulrophobia, statistical data shows that people generally prefer clowns to magicians for children's birthday parties.
• C. Bobo goes out of his way to appear non-threatening.
• D. Bobo works in a densely populated city, while Gob works in a rural town.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because despite the widespread fear of clowns (coulrophobia), statistical data indicates that people typically favor clowns over magicians for children's birthday parties. This preference results in Bobo booking more shows and earning more money than Gob. Choice A is incorrect because being an experienced clown alone does not address the paradox. Choice C is incorrect as the statement does not directly relate to the preference for clowns over magicians. Choice D is irrelevant to the paradox as the location of their work does not explain why Bobo is more successful despite coulrophobia.
