Question 1 of 5

What key idea is conveyed in Frost's poem?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Frost's poem emphasizes that opting for less conventional paths in life adds depth and meaning. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the poem specifically focuses on the importance of selecting uncommon routes rather than love, loss, general life decisions, or life's journey.

Question 2 of 5

What is the purpose of this passage?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage describes the reproductive habits of the sun-fish, focusing on how the mother sun-fish provides and guards her spawn until they are ready to take care of themselves. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not delve into the broader ecosystem of the sun-fish. Choice C is incorrect as there is no persuasive element in the passage about protecting aquatic ecosystems. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not discuss the mating habits of sun-fish but rather the care provided by the mother sun-fish.

Question 3 of 5

What does the word 'wise' in this passage most closely mean?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the context of the passage, the word 'wise' refers to the 'manner' in which the sun-fish builds its hatchery. It describes the careful and skillful way in which the mother sun-fish constructs and provides for her offspring. Choice B, 'Knowledge,' is incorrect as the word 'wise' does not specifically imply knowledge in this passage. Choice C, 'Shrewd,' is incorrect as it suggests cleverness or astuteness, which is not the intended meaning here. Choice D, 'Ignorance,' is the opposite of 'wise' and does not align with the context of the passage.

What is the definition of the word 'fry' as it appears in the passage?

Choice C is incorrect as it describes a location rather than the meaning of 'fry.'
