- There is not enough information to infer that Charles II never married; thepassage only notes that he had no legitimate children. (In fact, he had more thanten illegitimate children by his mistresses.)- And while the chance of Catholic king frightened many in England, it is reachingbeyond logical inference to assume that people were relieved when royal childrendied.- Finally, the author does not provide enough detail for the reader to assume thatJames I had no Catholic leanings.

A.

The author notes, "Inspite of a strong resemblance to the king, the young James was generally rejectedamong the English and the Lowland Scots, who referred to him as "the Pretender."This indicates that there was a resemblance, and this increases the likelihood thatthe child was, in fact, that of James and Mary Beatrice.- Answer choice B is too much of an opinion statement that does not have enoughsupport in the passage.- The passage essentially refutes answer choice C by pointing out that James "thepretender" was welcomed int he Highlands.- And there is little in the passage to suggest that James was unable to raise anarmy and mount an attack.4.THE NEXT FIVE QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE.*Read picture first then continue reading below:... in 1649.

The passage is largely informative in focus and theauthor provides extensive detail about this period in English and Scottishhistory.- There is little in the passage to suggest persuasion, and the tone of the passagehas no indication of a desire to entertain.- Additionally, the passage is historical, so the author avoids expressingfeelings and instead focuses on factual information (with the exception of theone opinion statement).1THE NEXT TWO QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE.Lisa Grant: "Students should make students wear uniforms.

C.persuasiveD. expository - answerA. Technical passages focus on presenting specificinformation and have a tone of formality.- Narrative writing focus on telling a story, and the passage offers no indication ofthis.- Persuasive writing attempts to persuade the reader to agree with acertain position; the instructor offers the students information but leavesthe decision up to each student.- Expository passages reveal analytical information to the reader.- The instructor is more focused on providing the students with information thanwith offering the students analytical details. (The analysis, it appears, will be up tothe students if they choose to complete an extra credit project.)2.THE NEXT THREE QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE.NOTE: The instructor of a history class has just finished grading the essay examsfrom his students, and the results are not good.

By now, many of you have probably seen your grade and are a littleconcerned. (And if you're not concerned, you should be — at least a bit!)B.With each class comes a new challenge, however, and as any goodinstructor will tell you, sometimes the original plan has to change.C.The purpose of the group project is to allow students to word together andarrive at a stronger response than if each worked individually.D. At the beginning of the semester, I informed the class that I have a strictgrading policy and that all scores will stand unquestioned. - answerB. In theopening paragraph, the instructor notes that his original grading plan has tochange to reflect the exam scores. Because they are low, he now wants to givestudents a chance to make up for their low scores.- Answer choice B thus summarizes his motive effectively. The instructorintroduces his email with the notes about the scores being posted, but, given theinformation that is provided in the message, this is not the sole motive for hiswriting.- Answer choice A limits the motive to the details about the group project, andthe instructor provides three options.- Answer choice D overlooks the instructor's further note about how the gradingpolicy sometimes has to bend to reflect circumstances.

All of these are goodsources to use while developing a position on Civil Rights; nonetheless, first youmust first familiarize yourself with an overview of the issue.- A history textbook probably would be the most comprehensive and the leastaffected by person opinion.- Speeches, interviews, and blogs are great next steps in the research process,but these choices may prove too subjective to provide a necessary overview ofthe issue.The heavy spring rain resulted in a plethora of zucchini in Kit's garden, and left herdesperately giving the vegetables to anyone who was interested.Which of the following is the definition for the underlined word in the sentence?A. irritationB.quantityC.abundanceD. waste - answerC.

The sentence suggeststhat Kit has more zucchini than she needs, and is therefore trying to offloadzucchini on anyone who might want some.- The plethora might lead to a mild irritation, but the words are definitely notsynonyms. (In some cases, a plethora is certainly not an irritation.)- The word plethora is related to a quantity, but is a specific type of quantity; anexcess.- Because the word quantity can also describe a lack of something, these words arenot synonyms.- Kit is obviously trying to avoid waste, but the words plethora and waste are notsynonyms.- Waste would also not be a natural replacement for plethora in the sentence.The guide words at the top of a dictionary page are needs and negotiate.

Which of the following describes the type of writing used to create the passage?A. narrativeB.persuasiveC.expositoryD. technical - answerC. An expository passage seeks to expose information byexplaining or defining it in detail.* As this passage focuses on describe the written works of Dorothy L.Sayers, it ay safely be considered expository.- The author is not necessarily telling a story, something one might expect from astrictly narrative passage. (Additionally, the author's main point, that of explainingwhy Sayers was such a versatile writer, represents a kind of thesis statement forshaping the overall focus f the passage. A narrative passage would focus more onsimply telling the story of Sayers's life.)- At no point is the author attempting to persuade the reader about anything, andthere is nothing particularly technical about the passage.- Rather, it is a focused look at Sayers's educational background and how shedeveloped into a writer of many genres; this makes it solidly expository.2.The next questions are based on the following passage:Which of the following sentences is the best summary of the passage?A. Among the first females awarded of degree form Oxford University, Dorothy L.Sayers proved to be one of the most versatile writers n post-war England.B.Sayers was bom in 1893, the only child of an Anglican chaplain, andshe received an unexpectedly good education at home.C.Within a few years, she began work on the detective novels and short storesthat would make her famous, due to the creation of the foppish, mystery-solvingaristocrat Lord Peter Wimsey.D.

- Answer choice B would be correct if the passage were more narrative thanexpository.- Answer choices C and D focus on specific works far which Sayers isremembered, but both are too limited to be considered a representativesummary of the entire passage.3.The next questions are based on the following passage:Which of the following sentences contains an opinion statement by the author?A. Among the first females awarded a degree form Oxford University, Dorothy L.Sayers proved to be one of the most versatile writers in post-war England.B.Sayers was bom in 1893, the only child of an Anglican chaplain, andshe received an unexpectedly good education at home.C.Her translation of Dante's Inferno gained her respect for her ability toconvey the poetry in English while still remaining true to the Italian terza rima.D. Sayers, for reasons known only to her, declined. - answerB. The mention of an"unexpectedly good education" represents an opinion on the part of the author.As the author does not follow this up with an explanation about why such aseducation would be unexpectedly good, the statement is simply a moment of biason the author's part, rather than an element within the larger argument.- There is no bias in the other answer choices.- Answer choices A and C are factual stamens about Sayers's life and work.- Answer choice D, while it might hint vaguely at disapproval not he author'spart (who might, perhaps, wish to know Sayers's reason), is not necessarily astatement containing bias.- It is indeed true that Sayers turned down the doctorate of divinity, and it isalso true that her reasons for doing so are unknown.- Only answer choice B conveys an opinion of the author.1.The next four questions are based on the followinginformation The Dewey Decimal Classes.000 Computer science, information, andgeneral works 100 Philosophy and psychology
