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. What type of text includes the author's purpose, major ideas, supporting details, visual aids, and vocabulary as key elements?

• A. Fictional texts
• B. Persuasive texts
• C. Narratives
• D. Informational texts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The key elements mentioned (author's purpose, major ideas, etc.) are typically associated with informational texts. Informational texts aim to inform and educate the reader, making use of these elements to convey factual information. Fictional texts focus more on storytelling, character development, and plot, while persuasive texts aim to convince or persuade the audience. Narratives are stories that can be fictional or non-fictional, emphasizing a sequence of events rather than the specific elements mentioned in the question.

3. The Morgan family lives at 5487 South Elm Street. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Saturday

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the provided water schedule for addresses in the town of Audley, odd-numbered addresses ending in 7 and 3, like 5487 South Elm Street, are allowed to water their lawns on Thursdays. Therefore, the Morgan family will be able to water their lawn on Thursday. Choice A (Tuesday), Choice B (Wednesday), and Choice D (Saturday) are incorrect as they do not align with the watering schedule for odd-numbered addresses as per the town's guidelines.

4. What is the purpose of the subtitle 'A Trivial Comedy for Serious People' in the context of the play?

• A. To emphasize the seriousness of the social critique in the play.
• B. To downplay the seriousness of the play and present it as light-hearted.
• C. To reflect the trivial nature of the characters' concerns and lives.
• D. To highlight the absurdity of taking serious matters lightly.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The subtitle 'A Trivial Comedy for Serious People' in Oscar Wilde's play 'The Importance of Being Earnest' serves to reflect the trivial concerns of the characters and the superficiality of their lives. Wilde uses this subtitle to highlight the irony in portraying seemingly serious people who are preoccupied with trivial matters and appearances. Choice A is incorrect because the subtitle does not aim to emphasize the seriousness of the social critique but rather the triviality of the characters' lives. Choice B is incorrect as the subtitle doesn't downplay the seriousness of the play; instead, it juxtaposes the trivial with the serious. Choice D is incorrect because the subtitle does not aim to highlight the absurdity of taking serious matters lightly, but rather to underscore the triviality of the characters' concerns and behaviors.

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.
