Answers and Explanations
1)
A
In the passage, the author writes that Matt “has four pieces of furniture to move into the room. He has a bed, a dresser, a desk, and
a chair…. The bed must go in first.” Since the bed must go in first, it cannot go in last. Later in the passage, the author writes, “The
other pieces of furniture can go into the room in any order.” This means that the other pieces of furniture could all go in last. The bed
is the only piece of furniture that cannot go in the room last. Therefore
(A) is correct. The passage does not provide information to
support choices
(B),
(C), and
(D). Therefore they are incorrect.
2)
B
In the passage, the author writes, “Matt has to plan out how he will move everything.” This tells us that Matt has to think about how
he will move everything because he cannot just put the furniture in the room in any order. Then the author explains that the bed
must go in first. He or she writes, “It will be easier to put the bed back together if it is the only thing in the room.” This detail explains
why the
bed must go in first, so it best supports the idea that “Matt has to plan out how he will move everything.” Therefore
(B) is
correct. The fact that Matt “has four pieces of furniture to move into the room” does not necessarily mean that he “has to plan out
how he will move everything.” If he could move these four pieces in any order, then he would not have to make a plan. This means
(A)
is incorrect. Since “the other pieces of furniture can go into the room in any order,” Matt does not have to plan out how he will
move them. This eliminates
(C)
. The author tells us that “the chair is the smallest piece of furniture,” but this does not mean that
Matt has to plan out how to move the chair. This makes
(D) incorrect.
3)
A
In the passage, the author writes, “The bed must go in first. It has to be taken apart to fit through the doorway.” This means that Matt
has to take the bed apart to make it fit through the doorway. Therefore
(A) is correct. Matt has to turn the dresser and the desk
sideways, not the bed. This means
(B)
is incorrect. Although “the bed must go in first,” putting it in first does not make it easier to fit
through the doorway. This makes
(C) incorrect. The author tel
ls us that after Matt puts the bed back together, “he can push the bed
against the far wall.” But this is after the bed is inside the room. Pushing it against the far wall will not make the bed fit through the
doorway. This means
(D) is incorrect.
4)
B
At th
e beginning of the passage, the author writes, “Matt is moving into his new bedroom today. He has four pieces of furniture to
move into the room.” Then the author explains what furniture Matt has, how the pieces must be moved, and in what order. Since the
passage describes the process of how Matt will move his furniture, we can understand that this passage is mostly about moving
furniture. Therefore
(B)
is correct. Although Matt is moving into “his new bedroom,” the passage does not tell us anything about the
new bedroom. Instead, it describes the process of moving furniture. This eliminates
(A). While Matt does have to take the bed apart
to make it “fit through the doorway,” he does not have to take anything else apart. However, he does have to move everything else.
This tells us that the passage is mostly about moving furniture, not taking it apart. Therefore
(C)
is incorrect. The author writes, “Matt
is moving into his new bedroom today.” But the rest of the passage describes the process of moving furniture. It does not describe
the moving day. This makes
(D) incorrect.
