Which of the following is a logical conclusion based on the information provided within the passage?
- A. Like Elizabeth I, Charles II never married and thus never had children.
- B. The English people were relieved each time James II's wife Mary lost another child, as this reduced the chance of a Catholic monarch.
- C. Charles I's beheading had less to do with religion than with other political problems that England was facing.
- D. Unlike his son and grandsons, King James I had no Catholic leaning and was a faithful follower of the Protestant Church of England.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The passage indicates that Charles I's beheading had less to do with religion than with other political problems that England was facing. The author specifically states, 'Charles's own political that religion was less involved in this situation than in other situations.' This information supports the logical conclusion that the reasons for Charles I's beheading were more related to political issues rather than religious factors.
Choice A is incorrect as the passage does not mention Charles II never marrying or having children. Choice B is incorrect as the passage focuses on the concerns regarding the Catholic succession, not the relief of losing children. Choice D is incorrect as the passage mainly discusses James II's Catholic leaning and the events related to the Catholic succession, but does not provide specific information about King James I's religious beliefs.

Given the information in the passages, which of the following must be true about assault?
- A. Not all assault is considered an expression of lethal force.
- B. There are various forms of assault.

- D. Assault can be justified in certain situations.

Choice A is incorrect as the passages differentiate between lethal force and assault, indicating that not all assault involves lethal force. Choice C is incorrect since there are no restrictions mentioned regarding who can commit assault.

In which chapter should she look for more information on herbal remedies to combat eczema?
- A. Chapter 8
- B. Chapter 10
- C. Chapter 11
- D. Chapter 12
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Eczema is a topical condition, so Chapter 12 (section D) would be the most appropriate place to look for information on herbal remedies to combat it. Chapter 8 focuses on herbs for adult needs, and while it may contain some relevant information, it is not specific to topical conditions like eczema. Chapters 10 and 11 cover respiratory and digestive conditions respectively, which are not relevant to treating eczema. Therefore, Chapter 12 is the best choice for Clothilde to find herbal remedies to combat eczema.
On what point would the authors of both passages agree?
- A. Fairy tales have a common origin.
- B. The same fairy tale may develop independently in different cultures.
- C. There are often common elements in fairy tales from various cultures.
- D. Fairy tales depict basic human fears.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Both authors in the passages agree that fairy tales, despite originating from different cultures, often contain similar elements such as magical occurrences, mythical creatures, and fundamental human desires and fears. This suggests that there are frequent common elements found in fairy tales across different cultures. Choice A is incorrect because the authors do not specifically mention a single common origin for all fairy tales. Choice B is incorrect as the passages emphasize that similar versions of fairy tales can be found in various cultures, rather than developing independently. Choice D is incorrect as while one passage discusses how fairy tales capture basic human fears, the other passage focuses on a broader spectrum of common elements beyond fears.
Which of the following best describes the organization of the information in the passage?
- A. cause-effect
- B. chronological sequence
- C. problem-solution
- D. comparison-contrast
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The passage is organized in a chronological sequence, starting from the reign of King Charles II, proceeding to his death without a legitimate heir, the ascension of his brother James II, and the events that followed with the birth of James II's son and the subsequent fleeing of the family. The passage then covers the rejection of the young James as heir, the rise of the Jacobites, and the defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Each event is presented in the order in which they occurred. The other answer choices are incorrect: cause-effect implies a relationship of events leading to each other, problem-solution focuses on identifying issues and resolving them, and comparison-contrast involves highlighting similarities and differences between subjects, none of which are the primary organizational structure of the passage.
Which phrase best completes the definition of a memoir?
- A. A historical account of a person's life written by one who has intimate knowledge of the person's life
- B. A historical account of a person's life written by the person himself or herself
- C. A fictional account about a famous person
- D. A nonfictional account about a famous person without factual reference
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A memoir is a historical account of a person's life written by someone who has intimate knowledge of that person's life, not necessarily by the person themselves. This distinguishes it from an autobiography, which is written by the person themselves. Memoirs are nonfictional and based on factual references, making option A the most fitting completion of the definition. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a memoir is not necessarily written by the person about whom it is written, it is not fictional, and it should be based on factual references to be considered a memoir.
