1. Which of the following lists Julia’s actions in the correct sequence?

• A. Julia woke up early and found she didn’t have any regular coffee. When she got to work, her boss had a lot for her to do. When the fire alarm went off, she decided to go home.
• B. Julia got to work and decided she was too tired to do the work her boss asked for, so she went home to get a cup of coffee.
• C. Julia woke up when the fire alarm went off and couldn’t get back to sleep. She then got stuck in traffic and arrived at work thirty minutes late.
• D. Julia was woken up early by a lawnmower and then got stuck in traffic on the way to her office. Once there, she found that the office was out of coffee and she had a lot of work to do. When the fire alarm went off, she decided to go home.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Option D provides a sequence of events that align with the extract provided. Julia was woken up early by a lawnmower, couldn't go back to sleep, discovered she was out of regular coffee, got stuck in traffic on the way to work, found the office was out of coffee, had a lot of work to do, and decided to go home when the fire alarm went off. This sequence accurately reflects the chronological order of Julia's actions throughout the day. Choices A, B, and C do not follow a logical sequence of events based on the extract, making them incorrect.

2. Teddy has been assigned to write a history paper about the United States during the Cold War. What choice of three classes would likely be the most useful?

• A. 100, 300, 700
• B. 100, 300, 800
• C. 100, 400, 900
• D. 200, 300, 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the Dewey Decimal System, which is a library classification system, the subjects related to Chomsky's work, which touches on philosophy, social sciences, and history, fall under classes 100, 400, and 900. Therefore, these classes would be the most useful for Teddy's history paper about the United States during the Cold War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not include the specific classes related to the required subjects for Teddy's paper.

3. What is the author’s tone in the passage?

• A. The author’s tone is optimistic.
• B. The author’s tone is pessimistic.
• C. The author’s tone is matter-of-fact.
• D. The author’s tone is angry.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The author's tone in the passage is matter-of-fact. The text provides practical suggestions and advice in a straightforward manner, focusing on actions without expressing emotions or bias. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the author does not show signs of being optimistic, pessimistic, or angry; instead, the author presents information objectively and neutrally.

4. What role does humor play in Wilde's critique of the aristocracy?

• A. To soften the harshness of the critique and make it more palatable.
• B. To make the critique more pointed and direct.
• C. To critique the aristocracy without alienating the audience.
• D. To entertain the audience with humor, while delivering a serious message.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In Wilde's critique of the aristocracy, humor serves the purpose of critiquing without alienating the audience. By infusing humor into his work, Wilde can effectively highlight the flaws and absurdities of the upper classes while keeping the audience engaged and receptive. Option A is incorrect because the humor does not aim to soften the critique but rather to enhance its impact. Option B is incorrect as the humor in Wilde's work is not meant to make the critique more pointed and direct but rather more approachable. Option D is incorrect because while entertaining the audience, the primary function of humor in Wilde's critique is to provide a platform for social commentary without losing the audience's interest.

5. Which of the following menu items fulfills her dietary requirements?

• A. Tofu-mushroom-spinach lasagna
• B. Veggie burger on a whole-grain bun
• C. Salmon with cream sauce
• D. Stuffed baked potato with vegetable soup

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, the tofu-mushroom-spinach lasagna. Mirella is an ovo-lacto vegetarian, meaning she eats eggs and dairy but avoids animal flesh. This dish meets her dietary requirements as it is a vegetarian option that contains tofu and cheese for protein. Additionally, since Mirella has a wheat allergy, she can choose a lasagna recipe with alternative noodles or omit noodles altogether. Choice B, the veggie burger, may contain wheat in the bun, which is not suitable for Mirella. Choice C, salmon with cream sauce, contains animal flesh and is not vegetarian. Choice D, stuffed baked potato with vegetable soup, may include wheat products in the soup, making it unsuitable for Mirella's wheat allergy.
