Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (300). Anarchism falls under political science and social sciences, which are typically classified under the 300s section in the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Books related to post-World War II anarchism would likely be found in this section. Choice A (000) is for general works, B (200) is for religion and philosophy, and D (900) is for history and geography, so they are less likely to contain books on post-World War II anarchism.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Invented the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, making it the most recent event among the choices. A: Helped found National Geographic Society occurred in 1888. B: Developed a metal detector was in the late 1800s. C: Moved to Canada was in the 1800s as well. Therefore, D is the most recent event.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it challenges the author's explanation by stating that lethal force in self-defense is not completely absolved from blame. This undermines the author's argument that self-defense using lethal force is always justified. Choice B supports the author's explanation by stating that necessary defense aligns with the law. Choice C talks about the forgiveness of lethal force, which does not directly undermine the author's argument. Choice D focuses on the evaluation criteria for lethal force, which is not directly related to the justification of lethal force in self-defense.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because both passages likely discuss common elements in fairy tales from different cultures. This point aligns with the idea that fairy tales often share similar motifs, themes, or characters across various cultures. This agreement highlights the universality and interconnectedness of storytelling traditions. Choice A is incorrect as the passages may not specifically address the origin of fairy tales. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on the independent development of the same fairy tale, which may not be the main point of agreement. Choice D is incorrect as the passages may not explicitly mention that fairy tales universally depict basic human fears.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage mentions that Charles I's beheading was due to political problems. The passage does not focus on religion as the primary reason for his execution. A is incorrect because there is no information provided about Charles II in the passage. B is incorrect as there is no mention of James II's wife Mary losing children. D is incorrect as the passage does not discuss King James I's religious beliefs. Therefore, the logical conclusion based on the passage is that Charles I's beheading was more related to political issues than religious ones.
