- D. The author looked at two homes that were too small, then a house with a yard that was too small, then a house that was too expensive, and then finally at the house on Forest Road.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct sequence of the author's actions based on the extract is as follows: the author looked at the house on Forest Road first, then two houses that were too small, followed by a house with a yard that was too small, and finally a house that was too expensive. Therefore, choice B correctly lists the author's actions in the given sequence. Choice A is incorrect as it reverses the order of the second and third houses visited. Choice C is incorrect as it includes a house with only one bathroom, which was not mentioned in the extract. Choice D is incorrect as it places the house on Forest Road last, whereas it was actually the first house visited.
What is the author's conclusion about the house on Pine Street?
- A. The house did not have enough bedrooms.
- B. The house did not have a big enough yard.
- C. The house was not in the right neighborhood.
- D. The house was too expensive.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The author's conclusion about the house on Pine Street is that it was too expensive. This can be inferred from the description provided in the text, where it is mentioned that although the house had enough space inside, it didn't have a big enough yard for their dogs, and the cost of the house was well above their price range. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the evidence from the text, which clearly points to the cost being the main issue with the house on Pine Street.
Which type of evidence is used in the passage?
- A. emotional evidence
- B. appeal to authority
- C. specific evidence
- D. rhetorical questioning
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The passage uses specific evidence to support its claims. It presents factual information about the impact of private tutoring on students' grades, including a comparison of GPAs between students who had different types of tutoring. This specific evidence strengthens the argument by providing concrete data and examples. Emotional evidence, appeal to authority, and rhetorical questioning are not used in this passage, as it primarily relies on data and analysis to make its case.
What is the best summary of this passage?
- A. Humans can use coloration and markings on snakes to determine whether they're venomous.
- B. Animals use coloration to hide from predators.
- C. The scarlet kingsnake and the coral snake have nearly identical markings.
- D. Venomous snakes often have bright markings, although nonvenomous snakes can also mimic those colors.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best summary of the passage is that humans can use coloration and markings on snakes to determine whether they're venomous. The passage discusses how snake markings serve the purpose of warning predators and helping humans identify venomous snakes by their bright coloration. Choice B is incorrect because the passage focuses on how coloration helps snakes evade predators rather than hide from them. Choice C is incorrect as it only mentions two specific snakes with similar markings, which is a minor detail compared to the main point of identifying venomous snakes. Choice D is incorrect because it only partially reflects the passage, focusing solely on the relationship between markings and venom in snakes, missing the crucial aspect of human ability to discern venomous snakes based on their coloration.
