1. What is the purpose of the passage?

• A. to inform
• B. to entertain
• C. to describe
• D. to persuade

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The main purpose of this passage is to inform readers about the role of skin coloration and markings in snakes. It explains how these markings help snakes hide from predators and how they can also indicate venomousness. The passage also provides examples such as the scarlet kingsnake to illustrate how some nonvenomous snakes mimic the appearance of venomous snakes for protection. This informative content aims to educate readers about the survival strategies of snakes, rather than entertain, describe, or persuade them.

2. During his study, Jenson finds himself increasingly drawn to information about the theaters of ancient Greece and particularly to the plays that the Greeks performed. What section of the library should he check next for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece?

• A. 200
• B. 600
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jenson should check section 800 for more resources on the written plays that have survived from ancient Greece. Section 800 generally covers literature and includes works of literary criticism, which would likely have information on ancient Greek plays, playwrights, and theatrical practices. Choice A (200) is for Religion, not related to ancient Greek plays. Choice B (600) is for Technical and applied science, unrelated to literature. Choice C (700) is for Arts and recreation, more related to the performing arts but not specifically focused on written plays from ancient Greece.

3. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find out more about the current applications of the sieve of Eratosthenes?

• A. 000
• B. 100
• C. 400
• D. 500

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 500 section of the library, which covers science and mathematics, to find out more about the current applications of the sieve of Eratosthenes. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical tool used to determine prime numbers, making the science and mathematics section the most appropriate choice. Philosophy and psychology (100), languages (400), and computer science (000) are not the primary areas where one would typically find information on the applications of this mathematical tool.

4. Does the author imply that she believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good in U.S.-made movies?

• A. believes the hero should always appear to be morally worthy.
• B. believes the hero should never appear to be morally worthy.
• C. believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good.
• D. believes the hero is an uninteresting character.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author implies that she believes the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good in U.S.-made movies. This is evident from her claim that it is hard to find a movie that presents the hero as anything other than supremely morally worthy, suggesting a desire for more complexity and depth in the portrayal of the hero character. Choice A is incorrect because the author does not advocate for the hero always appearing morally worthy. Choice B is incorrect as the author does not suggest that the hero should never appear morally worthy. Choice D is incorrect as the author does not state that the hero is an uninteresting character, but rather emphasizes the need for a more nuanced portrayal.

5. What is the meaning of testament as used in the sentence provided?

• A. story
• B. surprise
• C. artifact
• D. evidence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the context provided, the word 'testament' most likely refers to evidence. A testament can be something that serves as proof or confirmation of a fact or situation. In this case, it is used in a non-religious sense to indicate evidence or proof. The other choices are incorrect as 'story' does not fit the context, 'surprise' is not related to the owners' skills mentioned, and 'artifact' does not align with the discussion of the restaurant's success.
