Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following sentences uses the word 'smart' with a negative connotation, rather than a positive connotation or simply the word's denotation?

• A. Eliot's teacher said he was not quite gifted, but too smart for a general class.
• B. Eliot was smart to have studied the day before the test; he got a good grade.
• C. Eliot was identified by his teacher as one of the smart students in her classes.
• D. Eliot got into trouble when he gave a smart answer to his teacher's question.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In sentence D, the word 'smart' is used with a negative connotation as it describes Eliot getting into trouble for giving a smart answer to his teacher's question. This implies that being smart in this context led to a negative consequence. Choices A, B, and C use 'smart' in a positive or neutral light, highlighting intelligence or wise decisions without any negative implications.

2. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to locate these works?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 700
• D. 800

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to Section 800 to locate The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. These works are literary masterpieces and would be categorized under literature in the library. While sections 100, 200, and 700 cover Philosophy and psychology, Religion, and Arts and recreation respectively, they are not the most suitable sections for finding works of literature like The Iliad and The Odyssey.

3. Which detail from the passage best supports the conclusion that the little girl is no older than three years old?

• A. For lunch, she likes ham and cheese (torn into bites), yogurt, raisins, applesauce, peanut butter sandwiches in the fridge drawer, or any combo of these.
• B. It’s fine if you want to go somewhere, just leave us a note of where you are.
• C. As for nap, try after lunch. She may not sleep, but try anyway.
• D. Turn on music in her room, leave her in her crib with a dry diaper and bottle to try to sleep.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The detail from choice D, 'Turn on music in her room, leave her in her crib with a dry diaper and bottle to try to sleep,' best supports the conclusion that the little girl is no older than three years old. This detail suggests that the child is still using a crib for sleeping, a common practice for infants and toddlers. Additionally, the mention of a bottle indicates that the child is likely young, as older children typically do not use bottles for sleep. Choices A, B, and C do not provide specific details related to the child's age like the mention of a crib and a bottle does in choice D.

4. After an unexpected rearrangement of their schedules, Thomas and his sister realize that they will have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option?

• A. Twin Theatres
• B. Reveler Cinema
• C. Big Screen 14
• D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since Thomas and his sister have to squeeze in the film after 10 p.m., they need to watch the film later in the evening. Among the options, Reveler Cinema offers showtimes after 10 p.m. with a showing at 7:15 p.m., making it the best choice. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House do not have showtimes after 10 p.m., making Reveler Cinema the most suitable option for the siblings to catch a film at that time.

5. Lise is doing a research project on the various psychological theories that Sigmund Freud developed and on the modern response to those theories. To which section of the library should she go to begin looking for research material?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: '100.' Freud's theories fall under psychology, which is classified under the 100 section according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Section 200 is for Religion, 300 for Social sciences, and 900 for History, geography, and biography. Therefore, A is the most appropriate section for Lise to find research material related to Freud's psychological theories.
