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.

• A. Boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines
• B. Formal training in engineering
• C. Her successful inventions like the radio signal technology
• D. Working with Howard Hughes' aviation team

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Hedy Lamarr took up inventing due to boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines. The extract mentions that to relieve her boredom, Lamarr turned to inventing after her film roles did not provide much dialogue.

3. In which of the following materials would the author be most likely to include this passage?

• A. A history textbook
• B. An obituary
• C. A fictional story
• D. A newspaper editorial

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A history textbook is the most appropriate place for the passage about George Washington because it provides historical context, factual information, and analysis of significant events related to his life and contributions. The passage discusses Washington's role in the American Revolution, his leadership during the Revolutionary War, his decision to step down after the war, his farewell address, and his views on governance and foreign affairs. This type of detailed historical content is commonly found in history textbooks. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because an obituary focuses on a person's death and life achievements in a brief manner, a fictional story is based on imagination and creativity, and a newspaper editorial typically presents opinions on current events or issues rather than historical accounts.

4. Which of the following best describes the way the passages are structured?

• A. Both passages open by defining a legal concept and then continue to describe situations in order to further explain the concept.
• B. Both passages begin with situations, introduce accepted definitions, and then cite legal ramifications.
• C. The first passage presents a long definition while the second passage begins by showing an example of assault.
• D. Both cite specific legal doctrines, then proceed to explain the rulings.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passages are structured in a way where both begin by defining a legal concept (assault and battery) and then provide further explanations and examples to help clarify and elaborate on the concepts. Both passages open with a clear definition and then proceed to discuss the concept in various situations. Choice A is correct because it accurately captures the structure of the passages. Choice B is incorrect because the passages do not introduce accepted definitions after presenting situations; they define the legal concepts first. Choice C is incorrect because the first passage does not present a long definition, it begins by defining lethal force and then provides examples. Choice D is incorrect because while the passages explain legal concepts, they do not specifically cite legal doctrines or explain rulings.

5. What is the definition of the word haunt in the following passage?

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'haunt' means to constantly visit a place. Mr. Utterson is repeatedly going over the details of the situation in his mind, engaging with the problem persistently, as seen in the passage. The word does not imply levitation, terrorizing, or daunting in this context, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.
