1. According to the passages, which situation would not constitute an illegal use of lethal force?

• A. A disgruntled cashier yells obscenities at a customer.
• B. A thief is seen running away with stolen cash.
• C. A man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife.
• D. A woman punches another woman in a bar.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because, according to the passage, lethal force may be legally used in self-defense or to protect others from imminent danger. In the situation where a man is attacked in an alley by another man with a knife, the use of lethal force to defend oneself would not constitute an illegal act. Choices A, B, and D do not involve a situation where the use of lethal force in self-defense would be justified, making them incorrect. A disgruntled cashier yelling obscenities, a thief running away with stolen cash, and a woman punching another woman do not present imminent danger that would justify the use of lethal force.

2. Based upon the contextual evidence provided in the passage above, what is the meaning of the term enterprise in the third paragraph?

• A. Company
• B. Courage
• C. Game
• D. Cause

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the third paragraph, the term 'enterprise' is used in the context of a group of travelers embarking on a journey together. In this context, 'enterprise' refers to a company or a group of people rather than courage, game, or cause. The word 'enterprise' is commonly used to denote a business organization or company, aligning with the idea of a group traveling together for a common purpose. 'Courage' and 'cause' do not fit the context of the travelers' journey, and 'game' is unrelated to the activities described in the passage.

3. Which option best describes the use of the spider in the poem?

• A. Idiom
• B. Haiku
• C. ABBA rhyming convention
• D. Simile

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Simile.' In the poem, the speaker compares the spider to an artist using 'as,' indicating a simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using 'like' or 'as.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. An idiom is a phrase with a figurative meaning different from its literal meaning, a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, and ABBA rhyming convention refers to a specific rhyme scheme commonly found in poetry, none of which apply to the comparison of the spider to an artist in the poem.

4. Which of these descriptions provides the most detailed and objective support for the claim that drinking and driving is unsafe?

• A. A dramatized television commercial reenacting a fatal accident.
• B. The Department of Transportation's press release noting the deployment of additional patrol units.
• C. Congressional written testimony on drinking incidents.
• D. A highway bulletin warning of penalties for drinking and driving.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Congressional written testimony on drinking incidents provides the most detailed and factual data on the subject, making it the most objective support for the claim that drinking and driving is unsafe. Choice A, the dramatized television commercial, may be emotionally impactful but lacks detailed data. Choice B, the Department of Transportation's press release, focuses on enforcement actions rather than detailed information on the dangers. Choice D, the highway bulletin warning of penalties, emphasizes consequences rather than providing detailed support for the claim.

5. Jenson also discovers that the meaning behind many of the plays was closely related to the polytheistic beliefs that were practiced in ancient Greece. What section of the library should he check for more information about Greek polytheism?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Jenson should check section 200 of the library for more information about Greek polytheism. In the Dewey Decimal Classification system used in libraries, section 200 covers topics related to religion. Since Greek polytheism is a religious belief system, relevant resources and information about it are most likely found in the 200s section of the library. Choice A (100) covers Philosophy and Psychology, which is not directly related to religion like Greek polytheism. Choice C (300) covers Social Sciences, which is not the most appropriate section for information on religious beliefs. Choice D (900) covers History, Geography, and Biography, which are also unrelated to the specific topic of Greek polytheism.
