Question 1 of 5

Based on the author's support and evidence, which of the following is a valid evaluation of the paragraph?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The paragraph provides a historical account of the Great Emu War in Australia, outlining the events, dates, and outcomes of the conflict between the Australian government and the emu population. It does not focus on personal opinion, military strategies, or the scientific impact of emus, making choice B the most accurate evaluation. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the content of the paragraph.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following perspectives can be inferred from the passage?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage provided talks about the cyclical nature of going to the theatre and how it transports individuals into different stories. There is no mention of global aspects, inspirational qualities, or inapplicability related to cicadas and public interest in cicadas. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not supported by the passage.

Question 3 of 5

During the Great Emu War, which of the following events happened immediately after the conflict resumed in mid-November?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. According to the extract, emus resorted to guerrilla tactics during the Great Emu War. This choice aligns with the information provided, indicating that the emus changed their tactics in response to the conflict. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as there is no mention in the extract or historical context of military efforts becoming ineffective, the Australian government launching an initial assault, or the military withdrawing immediately after the conflict resumed in mid-November.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following words is a synonym for avian in this passage?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The word 'avian' refers to birds, so the synonym is 'Bird.' In the provided passage, the term 'avian' is used to refer to birds, making 'Bird' the correct synonym. 'Flying' and 'Aerial' are related to the concept of flight but do not specifically refer to birds. 'Plane' refers to an aircraft and is not synonymous with 'avian' or 'bird.' Therefore, 'Bird' is the most appropriate choice as a synonym for avian in this context.

Question 5 of 5

Why do cicadas make a buzzing sound?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Cicadas make a buzzing sound primarily to attract a mate. This sound is a mating call produced by the males to attract females for reproduction. While echolocation is used by some animals like bats for navigation, cicadas do not use buzzing for orientation. Buzzing is not related to locating a food source or warding off predators in the case of cicadas.
