1. Which of the following is not an example of something the author of Passage 1 claims travels from place to place through human environment?

• A. Fairy tales
• B. Language
• C. Ideas
• D. Foods

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Foods. The author of Passage 1 mentions language, ideas, and goods as examples of things that travel from place to place through the movement of peoples. There is no mention of food in the passage as something that is spread through human interaction. Fairy tales, language, and ideas are specifically highlighted in the text as elements that are transmitted through human interaction. While foods can be exchanged between cultures, the passage does not discuss them in the context of spreading through human interaction, making it the correct answer. Choice A (Fairy tales), B (Language), and C (Ideas) are all supported by the text as examples of things that travel through human environments, unlike food.

2. 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.

3. What is the word 'principal' referring to in the following text?

• A. Primary or chief
• B. An acolyte
• C. An individual who provides nurturing
• D. One in a subordinate position

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the provided text, 'principal' is referring to the primary or chief individual. The principal secretary for private affairs is considered second only to the treasurer, indicating a position of high importance. The term 'acolyte' (Choice B) refers to a ceremonial assistant, which does not fit the context. 'An individual who provides nurturing' (Choice C) and 'One in a subordinate position' (Choice D) do not accurately describe the role of the 'principal' in the text.

4. In which chapter should Clothilde look for more information?

• A. Chapter 7
• B. Chapter 9
• C. Chapter 10
• D. Chapter 12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Clothilde should look for more information in Chapter 9, 'Herbs for Immunity,' as her sister's daughter has a chronic cough. Immune-boosting herbs may help strengthen the child's immune system and potentially alleviate the cough. Chapter 9 focuses on herbs that support immune health, making it the most relevant chapter for addressing a chronic cough related to immunity. Chapters 7, 10, and 12 do not specifically focus on immunity or respiratory conditions, making them less likely to provide the information Clothilde needs.

5. 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.
