Question 1 of 5

What is the meaning of the word deceptive as it is used in the fifth paragraph?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: misleading. In the context of the fifth paragraph, "deceptive" implies causing someone to believe something that is not true. The word "deceptive" suggests a sense of trickery or falsehood, aligning with the idea of being misleading. The other choices (B: malicious, C: illegal, D: irritating) do not accurately capture the meaning of "deceptive" in the context provided. Malicious implies a more harmful intent, illegal refers to breaking laws, and irritating indicates annoyance, none of which directly relate to the meaning of deceptive in this context.

Question 2 of 5

In the statement above, several items are italicized, while only one is placed in quotation marks. According to the rules of punctuation, the following should be placed in quotation marks: article titles, book chapters, short stories, and episodes of television shows. Considering the list of works that Angela read, into which category does 'The Cask of Amontillado' most likely fit?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: short story. 'The Cask of Amontillado' is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. Short stories are typically shorter works of fiction that can be read in one sitting. Since 'The Cask of Amontillado' is a standalone work of fiction and not part of a larger book or television series, it falls under the category of a short story. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because a newspaper article, book chapter, and television show episode are not standalone works that would typically be placed in quotation marks.

Question 3 of 5

In a lesson on mass media, a teacher is showing commercials and analyzing their hidden messages. Which of the following is an example of a commercial that claims professional authority not supported by evidence?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat claims professional authority without providing any evidence that the narrator is actually a doctor or has expertise in medicine. This lack of evidence undermines the credibility of the claim. In contrast, choice A provides evidence of a professional basketball player endorsing the pain relief product, choice C shows real children playing with the toy, and choice D includes testimonials from real consumers, all of which support the claims made in the commercials.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following is not an example of something the author of Passage 1 claims travels from place to place through human movement?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fairy tales. The author of Passage 1 specifically mentions in the passage that fairy tales are not something that travels from place to place through human movement. Fairy tales are cultural narratives that are often shared and adapted within a specific culture or community, rather than being spread through physical movement. Incorrect choices: B: Language - Language is a clear example of something that travels through human movement, as languages evolve and spread through interactions between different communities. C: Ideas - Ideas can also be transmitted through human movement as people share and exchange thoughts and concepts with others. D: Foods - Foods can be transported and shared across different regions through trade and migration, making them an example of something that travels through human movement.

Question 5 of 5

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

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the author did not mention everyone riding horses as an element of the Western paradigm. The author explicitly discussed heroes skilled in warfare (A), evil villains in black hats (B), and communities of upstanding citizens (D). Therefore, C is the only choice that was not presented as an example by the author. This choice does not align with the typical elements associated with the Western paradigm, making it the correct answer.
