1. Which of the following guides would be the best for Raul?

• A. A Beginner's Guide to Giza (2015)
• B. The Life of Zahi Hawass (2014)
• C. A History of Hieroglyphics (2013)
• D. Who Built the Great Pyramids? (2015)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best guide for Raul would be 'Who Built the Great Pyramids?' as it focuses on the construction of the pyramids, providing detailed research on the topic. Choices A, B, and C are less relevant as they do not specifically address the construction of the pyramids. Choice A is about Giza in general, Choice B is a biography, and Choice C is about hieroglyphics, none of which directly relate to the construction of the pyramids.

2. Which of the following is a logical conclusion based on the information provided within the passage?

• A. Like Elizabeth I, Charles II never married and thus never had children.
• B. The English people were relieved each time James II's wife Mary lost another child, as this reduced the chance of a Catholic monarch.
• C. Charles I's beheading had less to do with religion than with other political problems that England was facing.
• D. Unlike his son and grandsons, King James I had no Catholic leaning and was a faithful follower of the Protestant Church of England.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage indicates that Charles I's beheading had less to do with religion than with other political problems that England was facing. The author specifically states, 'Charles's own political that religion was less involved in this situation than in other situations.' This information supports the logical conclusion that the reasons for Charles I's beheading were more related to political issues rather than religious factors. Choice A is incorrect as the passage does not mention Charles II never marrying or having children. Choice B is incorrect as the passage focuses on the concerns regarding the Catholic succession, not the relief of losing children. Choice D is incorrect as the passage mainly discusses James II's Catholic leaning and the events related to the Catholic succession, but does not provide specific information about King James I's religious beliefs.

3. How does the author organize the passage?

• A. heading and subheadings
• B. superscripts
• C. diagrams
• D. labels and footnotes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The author uses heading and subheadings to organize the passage. Each subheading focuses on either dairy (e.g., beverages, meals, snacks, dessert) or non-dairy options for obtaining more calcium from food. This organizational structure makes it easier for readers to identify and understand the different categories of tips provided within the text. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because superscripts, diagrams, labels, and footnotes are not used as organizational features in the passage; instead, headings and subheadings play a key role in structuring the information.

4. What is the purpose of the first paragraph in relation to the second paragraph?

• A. The first paragraph serves as a cause and the second paragraph serves as an effect.
• B. The first paragraph serves as a contrast to the second.
• C. The first paragraph is a description for the argument in the second paragraph.
• D. The first and second paragraphs are merely presented in a sequence.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The first paragraph introduces the general characteristics of insects and their ability to live both on land and in the air, setting the stage for discussing specific examples in the second paragraph. The second paragraph then delves into examples of insects that transition from living underwater to the aerial phase, establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between the general concept introduced in the first paragraph and the specific examples in the second paragraph. Choice A is correct because the first paragraph gives the cause (insects being creatures of land and air) and the second paragraph provides the effect (specific examples of insects transitioning between water and air). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the relationship between the two paragraphs as cause and effect.

5. What does the 'nature of the fairy tale genre' refer to in Passage 2?

• A. The representation of basic human experience
• B. Good characters being pure good and bad characters being pure evil
• C. Different cultures coming up with similar versions of the same story
• D. Commoners becoming royalty

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The 'nature of the fairy tale genre' in Passage 2 refers to the representation of basic human experiences. The passage emphasizes that fairy tales embody fundamental human desires and fears, portraying characters as either pure good or pure evil and celebrating themes like romance and transformation. This representation of basic human experiences makes fairy tales relatable and universal, resonating with audiences across various cultures and time periods. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while they may be elements found in fairy tales, they do not capture the essence of the 'nature of the fairy tale genre' as being rooted in the representation of fundamental human experiences.
