1. 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.

2. What can the reader infer from this passage?

• A. The children tortured Gulliver.
• B. Gulliver traveled because he wanted to meet new people.
• C. Gulliver is considerably larger than the children who are playing around him.
• D. Gulliver has a genuine love and enthusiasm for people of all sizes.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. In the passage, it is mentioned that the children play in Gulliver's hair, implying that he is considerably larger than them. This suggests that Gulliver is of a significant size compared to the children. Choice A is incorrect as there is no indication of the children torturing Gulliver in the passage. Choice B is incorrect because the passage does not mention Gulliver's reason for traveling. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not provide evidence of Gulliver's love and enthusiasm for people of all sizes.

3. Which of the following evidence from the passage supports the inference that providing nap rooms at work can improve employee productivity?

• A. In the recent company-wide audits, many employees have reported fatigue at work.
• B. According to a 2008 study, napping for 60 minutes helped improve verbal memory, motor skills, and perceptual learning better than caffeine.
• C. Many successful companies have adopted the practice of work naps, in industries like tech, manufacturing - even NASA!
• D. Starting today, we will be providing a designated nap room in each office building near the gym and cafeteria to help employees take care of their bodies and minds, so they can be happier, healthier, and more productive.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the evidence from the 2008 study mentioned in the passage supports the inference that napping for 60 minutes can improve verbal memory, motor skills, and perceptual learning better than caffeine. This indicates that providing nap rooms at work can lead to improved productivity by enhancing cognitive functions. Choice A talks about the fatigue reported by employees but does not directly link it to productivity improvement. Choice C mentions that many successful companies have adopted the practice of work naps but does not specifically tie it to productivity enhancement. Choice D states the intention to provide nap rooms for employees but does not provide direct evidence of productivity improvement.

4. Which of the following would be a primary source for an article on the Battle of Gettysburg?

• A. a letter written by a local farmer who witnessed the battle
• B. a documentary about the battle produced by a local TV station
• C. a novelization of the battle written by the great-grandson of a Union soldier
• D. a history textbook for a college-level course in American history

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A letter written by a local farmer who witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg would be a primary source as it provides direct firsthand accounts and observations from someone who was present during the event. This source would offer valuable insights and perspectives for an article on the Battle of Gettysburg. Choice B, a documentary produced by a local TV station, is a secondary source as it interprets and presents information about the battle rather than providing direct firsthand accounts. Choice C, a novelization of the battle written by the great-grandson of a Union soldier, is also a secondary source as it involves interpretation and creative storytelling rather than direct eyewitness information. Choice D, a history textbook for a college-level course in American history, is a tertiary source that compiles information from various primary and secondary sources rather than presenting original firsthand accounts.

5. If Cynthia wants to pick the meal where there would be the least options for her and fellow vegetarians, during what meal should she bring the platter?

• A. Breakfast
• B. Lunch
• C. Cocktail hour
• D. Dinner

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Dinner has the least vegetarian options, making it the most suitable meal for Cynthia to bring her platter. The dinner menu includes Roasted pork loin, seared trout, and bacon-bit topped macaroni and cheese, which are all non-vegetarian dishes. Breakfast, Lunch, and Cocktail hour all have vegetarian options available, making them less suitable for Cynthia's vegetarian platter.
