Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a logical conclusion that can be derived from the announcement above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The fee imposed by the library is likely intended to discourage patrons from spending excessive time on the computers, ensuring fair usage of limited computer resources. This measure is implemented to promote equal access to all visitors.
Choice A is incorrect because the purpose of the fee is not primarily to generate additional revenue but rather to regulate computer usage.
Choice B is incorrect as the fee is not meant to encourage more efficient computer use but rather to limit the duration of use.
Choice D is incorrect as the main goal of the fee is not to cover maintenance costs but to manage computer access.

Question 2 of 5
Anna is planning a trip to Bretagne, or Brittany, in the northwestern part of France. Since she knows very little about it, she is hoping to find information about hiking trails, beaches, restaurants, and accommodations. Which of the following guides will be the best for her to review?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best guide for Anna to review would be 'Hiking Through Bretagne: The Best Trails for Discovering Northwestern France,' published by a company specializing in travel for those wanting to experience the outdoors. Since Anna is interested in hiking and outdoor activities, a guide that focuses on outdoor trails in Northwestern France would be the most suitable choice.
Choice A, 'The
Top Ten Places to Visit in Brittany,' may not provide detailed information about hiking trails.
Choice B, 'Getting to Know Nantes,' focuses on a specific city and may not cover the broader region of Bretagne.
Choice D, 'The Complete Guide to Brittany,' although comprehensive, may not emphasize hiking trails and outdoor experiences as much as choice C.
Question 3 of 5
To begin developing a position about civil rights for an oral debate, which of the following would be the best source?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A history textbook detailing civil rights would be the best source to begin developing a position for an oral debate. History textbooks provide a comprehensive and objective overview of events, movements, and perspectives related to civil rights. This makes them a reliable and well-rounded source for gathering information and forming a strong position.
Choice A, a blog created by a proponent of civil rights, may offer valuable insights but could be biased or lack the depth and breadth of information provided in a history textbook.
Choice B, an interview with someone who took part in a civil rights march, provides a personal perspective which can be valuable but might not cover all aspects or historical contexts of civil rights.
Choice D, a speech by a famous civil rights leader, offers inspirational content but may not provide the comprehensive background and multiple viewpoints necessary for a well-rounded position in a debate.
Extract:
Lisa Grant: 'Schools should make students wear uniforms. Everyone would look the same. Students would be able to respect each other based on their ideas and character because they would no longer be judged by their appearance.'
Vivian Harris: 'Students should not have to wear uniforms. Clothing is an important part of self-expression. Taking away that method of expression is suppressing that student's rights.'
Question 4 of 5
What is one idea that the students above seem to agree on, based on their statements?
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.

In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment. Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. The road to wealth is, as Dr. Franklin truly says, 'as plain as the road to the mill.' It consists simply in expending less than we earn; that seems to be a very simple problem. Mr. Micawber, one of those happy creations of the genial Dickens, puts the case in a strong light when he says that to have annual income of twenty pounds, per annum, and spend twenty pounds and sixpence, is to be the most miserable of men; whereas, to have an income of only twenty pounds, and spend but nineteen pounds and sixpence, is to be the happiest of mortals. Many of my hearers may say, 'we understand this; this is economy, and we know economy is wealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also.' Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases of failure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other. The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they really do not.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The main idea of the passage is that while making money may seem easy, managing it wisely is much more challenging. The author emphasizes the importance of spending less than what is earned to achieve financial stability.
Choice A is incorrect as the passage focuses on the challenges of managing money, not on the ease of getting a job.
Choice C is incorrect as Dr. Franklin is mentioned in the context of a quote about the simplicity of the road to wealth, not advocating getting a job in a mill.
Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not primarily discuss spending money as the greatest temptation, but rather highlights the difficulty in managing money effectively.
