1. 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.

2. Which of the following sources would be the best to understand the suspense genre better?

• A. A public library's digital catalog
• B. The online reviews of the genre
• C. A New York Times bestseller list
• D. An encyclopedia entry about the suspense genre

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, an encyclopedia entry about the suspense genre. This choice would be the best source to understand the suspense genre better as it provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the genre's history, characteristics, and key elements. Option A, a public library's digital catalog, may list suspense novels available but does not offer in-depth information about the genre itself. Option B, online reviews of the genre, are subjective opinions and may not provide a holistic view of the genre. Option C, a New York Times bestseller list, showcases popular titles but doesn't delve into the specifics of the suspense genre.

• A. Malory wrote in prose, while Tennyson wrote in poetry.
• B. Malory wrote during the Medieval era, while Tennyson wrote during the Victorian era.
• C. Malory was more focused on heroism and morality, while Tennyson was more focused on nature and elegy.
• D. Malory wrote stories about Gareth, Tristan, and Isolde, while Tennyson focused only on Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The passage doesn't specifically mention the characters Gareth, Tristan, and Isolde as being exclusive to Malory. However, it does highlight that Malory focused on Arthurian legends while Tennyson also wrote about the same characters. Choice A is incorrect because Malory wrote in prose, while Tennyson wrote in poetry, as stated in the passage. Choice B is incorrect as Malory wrote during the Medieval era, while Tennyson wrote during the Victorian era, according to the passage. Choice C is incorrect because Malory was more focused on heroism and morality, while Tennyson was more focused on nature and elegy, as mentioned in the extract.

• A. Victor's long reign provided the opportunity for her to bring balance to England and right the wrongs that had occurred during the reigns of her uncles.
• B. It was the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta that motivated the remaining princes to marry and start families.
• C. The Duke of Kent had hoped for a son but was delighted with his good fortune in producing the surviving heir that his brothers had failed to produce.
• D. King William IV was unreasonably suspicious of the Duchess of Kent's motivations, as she cared only for her daughter's well-being.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage mentions that after the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta, the remaining princes considered marrying and starting families since her death left the succession undetermined. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not provide information about Victoria's reign bringing balance or righting any wrongs during her uncles' reigns. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of the Duke of Kent having a preference for a male heir or being disappointed with a female heir. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not give details about King William IV's suspicions towards the Duchess of Kent or her motivations.

5. Due to his many interests and pursuits, Eratosthenes dabbled in a variety of fields, and he is credited with a theory known as the sieve of Eratosthenes.
