1. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?

• A. These cookies should be baked on a baking rack
• B. These cookies cannot be cooked in a microwave oven
• C. Folding in peanut butter must be done gently
• D. Beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct statement about the passage is that beating egg whites involves stirring them vigorously. In the provided extract, it mentions 'Beat egg white until foamy. Stir in sugar, beat again until stiff peaks form.' This process of beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form requires vigorous stirring. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention using a baking rack for cooking the cookies. Choice B is incorrect as the passage provides instructions for baking the cookies in an oven. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not emphasize the need for gentle folding when mixing in the peanut butter.

2. Where did Robert and I decide to buy a house after looking at five different houses?

• A. Forest Road
• B. Pine Street
• C. Rice Avenue
• D. Willow Lane

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert and the speaker decided to buy the house on Forest Road after considering five different houses. The first two houses lacked the necessary space, the third didn't have a big enough yard, the fourth was above their price range, and the last one wasn't in the desired neighborhood. Only the house on Forest Road met their requirements for space and price, making it the final choice.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following bones is not associated with the leg?

• A. femur
• B. tibia
• C. patella
• D. radius

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, radius. According to the passage, the radius is a bone in the lower arm, not in the leg. The femur, tibia, and patella are bones associated with the leg. The femur is the thigh bone, the tibia is the shin bone, and the patella is the kneecap. Therefore, the radius is the only bone among the options that is not associated with the leg.

5. The author's purpose, major ideas, supporting details, visual aids, and vocabulary are the five key elements of what type of text?

• A. Fictional texts
• B. Narratives
• C. Persuasive texts
• D. Informational texts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The author's purpose, major ideas, supporting details, visual aids, and vocabulary are key elements typically found in informational texts. Informational texts aim to inform and educate readers about a specific topic, which is why these elements are crucial for effectively conveying information in a clear and organized manner. Fictional texts focus more on storytelling and creativity rather than presenting facts and information, so they do not always include these specific elements. Narratives primarily focus on telling a story or recounting events, while persuasive texts aim to convince or sway the audience's opinion, so they may not always encompass all the elements mentioned in the question.
