1. Which event is out of sequence in the story?

• A. Installing the dog run in the backyard.
• B. Enrolling the dog in obedience classes.
• C. The physical exam confirming the dog's health.
• D. The dog's next obedience class.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the story describes the sequence of events after adopting the dog. After bringing Robin home, the sequence includes confirming her health with a physical exam, buying supplies, installing a dog run, and then taking her to the vet. Enrolling her in obedience classes is mentioned to start the following week, making it the next logical step. Therefore, the detail about the dog's next obedience class is not out of sequence. Choices A, B, and C are all in the correct sequence according to the events described in the story.

2. Based on the information in the passage, which of the composers among The Five would the author likely agree was the most influential?

• A. Alexander Glazunov
• B. Modest Mussorgsky
• C. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
• D. Cesar Cui

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The passage highlights Rimsky-Korsakov's significant influence by mentioning that composers such as Alexander Glazunov, Sergei Prokofiev, and Igor Stravinsky studied under him. This demonstrates that Rimsky-Korsakov had a lasting impact on the development of these renowned composers. Choice A, Alexander Glazunov, is incorrect because the passage states that Glazunov studied under Rimsky-Korsakov, indicating he was influenced by him rather than being the most influential among The Five. Choice B, Modest Mussorgsky, is incorrect as the passage mainly focuses on his works and contributions but does not mention his influence on other composers. Choice D, Cesar Cui, is incorrect as he is considered one of the founders of the movement but is not highlighted for influencing other significant composers as Rimsky-Korsakov is. Therefore, based on the information provided, the author would likely agree that Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was the most influential among The Five.

3. What is the best definition of the underlined word in the selection below, taken from the third paragraph of the passage? 'You should try to be aware of your consumption of water and energy.'

• A. Using the greatest amount
• B. Illness of the lungs
• C. Using the least amount
• D. Depletion of goods

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, 'consumption' refers to the use or depletion of resources like water and energy. It is not about using the greatest amount (choice A) or the least amount (choice C) but about being mindful of how much you use to avoid depletion. 'Illness of the lungs' (choice B) is completely unrelated to the context of resource conservation discussed in the passage.

4. Which of the following is a primary source?

• A. A critic's summary of a book on Abraham Lincoln.
• B. A peer-reviewed scientific journal's table of contents.
• C. A gene splicing study report with data.
• D. A news article quoting research into curing cancer.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. A gene splicing study report with data is a primary source because it provides original research findings. In contrast, choice A is a secondary source as it involves a critic's interpretation of a book. Choice B, the table of contents of a peer-reviewed scientific journal, is not a primary source but a tertiary source, providing a summary of articles. Choice D, a news article quoting research, is a secondary source that presents information based on primary sources rather than the original research itself.

5. Which of the following is true about calcium-rich foods? I. Canned salmon with bones contains calcium. II. Cheese is a lactose-free food. III. Condensed soup made with water is a calcium-rich food.

• A. I only
• B. I and II only
• C. II and III only
• D. III only

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'I only.' Canned salmon with bones contains calcium as the bones are a good source of calcium, making statement I true. However, statement II is false as cheese is not a lactose-free food. Statement III is also incorrect as condensed soup made with water is not necessarily a calcium-rich food. Other calcium-rich options include dairy products like milk, yogurt, and specific non-dairy products like calcium-fortified juices, canned fish with bones, soybeans, and leafy greens.
