Which of the following is not an example given by the author of an element of the Western paradigm?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The author did not mention everyone riding horses as an element of the Western paradigm in the provided passage. The passage discusses the virtuous hero in the white hat, the evil villain in the black hat, and the community made up of upstanding citizens as elements of the Western paradigm. The hero being highly skilled at warfare and the community having morally upstanding citizens were also mentioned. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they were all examples given by the author in the passage.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. This information is based on the advertisement's specific requirement that candidates must be members of the California Bar Association. The job description clearly states, 'Candidates must be members in Good Standing of the California Bar Association.' This indicates that a valid license to practice law in California is a mandatory qualification for the position advertised. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no mention in the advertisement of candidates needing three or more years of litigation experience, having small caseloads, or the position not being currently available.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A competitive salary is one that is similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs. In the context of the job advertisement provided, a competitive salary is typically in line with what other employers are paying for similar positions to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Choice A is incorrect because a competitive salary is not 'much less' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be competitive. Choice B is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'much greater' than salaries offered for comparable jobs; it aims to be fair and competitive. Choice D is incorrect as a competitive salary is not 'impossible to compare to' the salaries offered for comparable jobs; it is meant to be competitive and aligned with industry standards.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: It can be inferred from the advertisement that a person staffing this position may work independently and/or as part of a team. The job description mentions the requirement for the ability to work both self-directed and as part of a team, indicating flexibility in working styles. Choice B is incorrect as Veronica Smith is mentioned as the contact for application submission, not the hiring decision-maker. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of caseload sizes for new hires. Choice D is incorrect as the advertisement does not specify part-time work as an option.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The main idea of the passage is that the FDA has a specialized program for regulating dietary supplements. The passage explains how the FDA regulates dietary supplements differently from drugs, focusing on the requirements for marketing, good manufacturing practices, monitoring safety, and taking action against unsafe products. Choice A is incorrect because while it mentions good manufacturing practices, it's not the central idea of the passage. Choice C is incorrect as there is no emphasis on prosecuting individuals in the passage. Choice D is incorrect because stating that the FDA is part of the federal government is not the main idea discussed in the passage.
