Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a reason to visit Carl's Car Depot?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The author does not mention that Carl's Car Depot is offering lifetime warranties on new cars as a reason to visit. The mentioned reasons include the one-day sale, lowest prices in town, and the offering of no money down and low monthly payments. The extract clearly states that the focus is on the one-day sale, low monthly payments, and the lowest prices available, but there is no mention of lifetime warranties as a reason to visit.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A letter written by a local farmer who witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg would be a primary source as it provides direct firsthand accounts and observations from someone who was present during the event. This source would offer valuable insights and perspectives for an article on the Battle of Gettysburg. Choice B, a documentary produced by a local TV station, is a secondary source as it interprets and presents information about the battle rather than providing direct firsthand accounts. Choice C, a novelization of the battle written by the great-grandson of a Union soldier, is also a secondary source as it involves interpretation and creative storytelling rather than direct eyewitness information. Choice D, a history textbook for a college-level course in American history, is a tertiary source that compiles information from various primary and secondary sources rather than presenting original firsthand accounts.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most likely reason Julia did not return to work after the alarm is that she got stuck in traffic and could not get back to her office. The extract provides details about Julia's challenging morning, starting from being woken up early by lawn mowers, having a caffeine-free cup of coffee, facing traffic delays, arriving late at work, and receiving additional work from her boss. These events culminated in Julia deciding to leave after the fire alarm, indicating that being stuck in traffic was the primary reason for her absence. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no direct evidence in the provided extract to support them. Julia's actions suggest that her decision to leave was more related to external factors like traffic issues rather than internal feelings of embarrassment, tiredness, or being given time off by her boss.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The statement 'It was irresponsible for Julia to leave work early' is an opinion because it reflects a judgment or evaluation of Julia's actions, rather than stating a fact. The other statements (A, B, D) provide factual information about events that occurred in the passage. Option A states a fact about Julia being asked by her boss; option B explains the reason for Julia being late; option D provides a reason for Julia feeling tired. These are not opinions but rather statements of events or circumstances.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Option D provides a sequence of events that align with the extract provided. Julia was woken up early by a lawnmower, couldn't go back to sleep, discovered she was out of regular coffee, got stuck in traffic on the way to work, found the office was out of coffee, had a lot of work to do, and decided to go home when the fire alarm went off. This sequence accurately reflects the chronological order of Julia's actions throughout the day. Choices A, B, and C do not follow a logical sequence of events based on the extract, making them incorrect.
