1. Which of the following sources is most likely to provide relevant data on the effects of mobile use on consumers' hearing?

• A. A consumer report about surcharges applied to customers' bills by mobile phone companies
• B. A professional journal article about the incidence of generic hearing loss
• C. A university research paper about decibel limits of headphones and speakers
• D. A statistical report of mobile phone usage by a mobile phone company

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The most relevant source for data on the effects of mobile use on consumers' hearing would be a university research paper about decibel limits of headphones and speakers. This source would provide specific information on how mobile use could potentially impact hearing due to the sound levels produced by headphones and speakers. Choice A discusses surcharges on bills, which is unrelated to hearing effects. Choice B focuses on the incidence of hearing loss in general, not specifically related to mobile use. Choice D, a statistical report on mobile phone usage, may not directly address the impact on consumers' hearing.

2. Which of the following is part of the world view, with which we may not agree, that the author implies we might absorb from these movies if we're careless and unquestioning:

• A. Enemies of the U.S. do not ever fight for legitimate causes.
• B. The community is morally bankrupt.
• C. The U.S. is complex.
• D. The U.S. is not skilled at warfare.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Throughout the text, the author discusses how American war movies often portray U.S. enemies as lacking legitimate causes. This portrayal can lead to a simplistic view of global conflicts and perpetuate stereotypes. Choice B is incorrect as the text does not discuss the community being morally bankrupt. Choice C is incorrect as the focus is not on the complexity of the U.S. but on the portrayal of enemies and heroes. Choice D is incorrect as the text actually mentions that the hero in the movies is highly skilled at warfare.

3. 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.

• B. Schools should give students a certain amount of respect.
• C. Students should focus more on school than on their appearance.
• D. Schools would violate students' basic rights by enforcing a dress code.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Both Lisa Grant and Vivian Harris express the idea that schools should give students a certain amount of respect. Lisa Grant believes that wearing uniforms would help students respect each other based on ideas and character rather than appearance. Vivian Harris, on the other hand, argues against uniforms, emphasizing that clothing is crucial for self-expression and taking it away suppresses students' rights. However, at the core of both their arguments is the underlying theme of advocating for respect towards students.
