The number of syllables in a word
The part of speech a word belongs to

Correct answer: The emotional or cultural associations a word carries beyond its literal meaning

Connotation refers to the implied feelings or ideas associated with a word beyond its denotative definition.

Question 5: Which sentence structure BEST demonstrates integrating evidence with analysis?

According to the article, 'wolves are endangered,' suggesting that habitat loss is a critical threat requiring immediate conservation action. (Correct answer)
The author says 'wolves are endangered,' which proves my point.
Wolves are endangered. The author talks about this.
The author says 'wolves are endangered.'

Correct answer: According to the article, 'wolves are endangered,' suggesting that habitat loss is a critical threat requiring immediate conservation action.

The third option properly attributes the quote and follows it with specific analysis that connects the evidence to a broader argument.

Question 6: In a historical text, the author describes a famine that 'decimated the population of the region.' In modern usage, what does decimated most likely mean?

doubled
slightly reduced
severely reduced or destroyed a large portion of (Correct answer)

In modern usage, decimated means severely reduced in number or strength.

Question 7: A contractor is hired to install a new floor in a rectangular room that measures 15 feet by 20 feet. There is a square-shaped support column in the room with a side length of 2 feet. What is the total area of flooring the contractor will need?

300 square feet
304 square feet
296 square feet (Correct answer)
260 square feet

Correct answer: 296 square feet

First, calculate the total area of the room by multiplying its length and width: Area_room = 15 ft * 20 ft = 300 sq ft. Next, calculate the area of the support column: Area_column = 2 ft * 2 ft = 4 sq ft. Since the flooring will not be placed under the column, subtract the column's area from the room's area: 300 sq ft - 4 sq ft = 296 sq ft.

Question 8: A dilation centered at the origin with scale factor 3 maps point A(2, −4) to which image?

(5, −7)
(2/3, −4/3)
(6, −12) (Correct answer)
(−6, 12)

Correct answer: (6, −12)

Multiply each coordinate by the scale factor: (2 × 3, −4 × 3) = (6, −12).

Question 9: A poem about a thunderstorm describes the clouds as 'angry giants hurling lightning spears.' Which literary device is used?

Personification (Correct answer)
Onomatopoeia
Symbolism
Alliteration

Correct answer: Personification

Personification attributes human qualities or actions to non-human things, like calling clouds 'angry giants.'

Question 10: Which transition word would best signal a shift to a different time period in a personal narrative?

As a result

In contrast
Therefore

Correct answer: Meanwhile

'Meanwhile' indicates a simultaneous or shifted time frame, making it ideal for moving between time periods in a narrative.

Question 11: A student recorded the following test scores: 72, 85, 90, 68, 95, 80. What is the median score?

83
85
82.5 (Correct answer)
80

Correct answer: 82.5

When the six scores are ordered (68, 72, 80, 85, 90, 95), the median is the average of the 3rd and 4th values: (80 + 85) / 2 = 82.5.

Question 12: Read the character description below. 'Marcus publicly championed the new recycling initiative, giving speeches on civic duty and the importance of conservation. He smiled for the cameras, sorting his plastic bottles into the correct bins. Yet, in the privacy of his own home, he let the faucet run while he brushed his teeth, tossed half-eaten meals into the trash without a thought, and grumbled about the inconvenience of it all. He craved the town's approval more than he cared for its green spaces, but the fear of being seen as a hypocrite was a constant, gnawing anxiety.' This description reveals that Marcus's primary conflict is between his...

love for nature and his inability to live a sustainable lifestyle.
need for public admiration and his private disregard for the cause he promotes. (Correct answer)
past promises and his future political ambitions.
desire for a cleaner town and his frustration with his neighbors.

Correct answer: need for public admiration and his private disregard for the cause he promotes.

The core conflict within Marcus is his external performance versus his internal beliefs and actions. He performs the role of a civic-minded environmentalist because he 'craved the town's approval,' but his private actions and thoughts show he doesn't truly believe in the cause. This creates a conflict between his public image and his private self, leading to the 'gnawing anxiety' of being exposed as a hypocrite.

Question 13: Which signal phrase BEST introduces evidence while also establishing the source's credibility?

The book mentions...
Someone wrote that...
I think the source says...
According to marine biologist Dr. Jane Chen, who has studied coral reefs for 20 years... (Correct answer)

Correct answer: According to marine biologist Dr. Jane Chen, who has studied coral reefs for 20 years...

Identifying the source's credentials (title, expertise, experience) establishes authority and makes the cited evidence more persuasive.

Question 14: When NJSLA score reports are released to families, which document typically accompanies them to help parents interpret results?

A full copy of the answered test questions
A score interpretation guide explaining performance levels and next steps (Correct answer)
A ranking of the student against their classmates by name
A detailed item-by-item analysis of every question

Correct answer: A score interpretation guide explaining performance levels and next steps

Families receive a score interpretation guide alongside score reports to help them understand performance levels and what scores mean.

Question 15: A triangle has angles measuring 47° and 63°. What is the measure of the third angle?

80°
70° (Correct answer)
60°
90°

Correct answer: 70°

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so 180 − 47 − 63 = 70°.

Question 16: Which NJSLA performance level indicates a student has met grade-level expectations?

Level 1
Level 4
Level 2
Level 3 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Level 3

Level 3 ('Met Expectations') is the performance level that indicates a student has met grade-level standards on the NJSLA.

Question 17: The equation 2x + y = 8 and y = 3x − 2 are graphed on the same coordinate plane. Where do they intersect?

(1, 6)
(3, 7)
(2, 5)
(2, 4) (Correct answer)

Correct answer: (2, 4)

Substituting y = 3x − 2 into 2x + y = 8: 2x + 3x − 2 = 8 → 5x = 10 → x = 2; y = 3(2) − 2 = 4, giving (2, 4).

Question 18: For what value of x does the expression 3x + 7 equal 22?

9
7
5 (Correct answer)
3

Correct answer: 5

Solve 3x + 7 = 22: subtract 7 to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to get x = 5.

Question 19: If f(x) = x² + 4 and g(x) = 2x − 1, what is f(g(3))?

25
21
30
29 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 29

g(3) = 2(3) − 1 = 5; then f(5) = 5² + 4 = 25 + 4 = 29.

Question 20: A town's population grows according to the model P(t) = 12,000 · (1.03)^t, where t is years. What does the value 1.03 represent?

A 3% annual decay rate
The initial population
A 3% annual growth rate (Correct answer)
The number of years to double

Correct answer: A 3% annual growth rate

In an exponential growth model P = P₀ · b^t, the base b = 1.03 means the population increases by 3% each year.

Question 21: Read the following lines from a poem. 'The city exhaled its weary, grimy breath, a sigh of steam from grates, a mechanical groan. Streetlights cast a jaundiced glare on the slick asphalt, and the moon, a forgotten coin, was lost in the urban haze.' How does the author's word choice in these lines contribute to the tone of the poem?

Words like 'coin' and 'grates' create a tone of wealth and opportunity.
Words like 'steam' and 'slick' create a tone of excitement and energy.
Words like 'jaundiced' and 'groan' create a tone of sickness and exhaustion. (Correct answer)
Words like 'star' and 'moon' create a tone of wonder and magic.

Correct answer: Words like 'jaundiced' and 'groan' create a tone of sickness and exhaustion.

The author uses words with negative connotations to establish a specific tone. 'Weary,' 'grimy,' 'groan,' and 'jaundiced' (which suggests sickness) all contribute to a feeling of exhaustion, decay, and melancholy. The comparison of the moon to a 'forgotten coin' further enhances this sense of neglect and insignificance. The other choices suggest tones that are opposite to what the diction builds.

Question 22: Despite the placid appearance of the lake's surface, the park ranger warned us of a treacherous undercurrent that could be dangerous even for strong swimmers. Which of the following words is an antonym for 'placid'?

Deep
Clear
Turbulent (Correct answer)
Peaceful

Correct answer: Turbulent

The sentence sets up a contrast between the 'placid appearance' of the surface and the 'treacherous undercurrent' below. This contrast indicates that 'placid' means calm or peaceful. Therefore, an antonym would be 'turbulent,' meaning characterized by conflict, disorder, or confusion; not controlled or calm.

Question 23: A two-way frequency table shows data for 100 students categorized by grade level and sport preference. How is a joint frequency different from a marginal frequency?

A joint frequency is always larger than a marginal frequency.
A marginal frequency appears in the interior cells of the table.
A joint frequency is the grand total, while a marginal frequency is a cell value.
A joint frequency counts a specific combination of two categories, while a marginal frequency totals one entire row or column. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: A joint frequency counts a specific combination of two categories, while a marginal frequency totals one entire row or column.

Joint frequencies appear in the interior cells and represent two-category intersections, while marginal frequencies are the row or column totals.

Question 24: Which of the following BEST describes the purpose of a topic sentence in a body paragraph?

To give background information about the author of the source
To provide the strongest piece of evidence for the entire essay
To conclude the paragraph's argument and transition to the next
To introduce the main idea of that paragraph and connect it to the thesis (Correct answer)

Correct answer: To introduce the main idea of that paragraph and connect it to the thesis

A topic sentence states the main idea of a body paragraph and links it back to the essay's central thesis.

Question 25: A student reads a persuasive essay arguing that school lunches should be healthier. Which sentence is an OPINION rather than a fact?

Students consume approximately 180 school lunches per year.
Many schools participate in the National School Lunch Program.
The USDA sets nutritional guidelines for school lunches.
Healthier school lunches are the most important change schools can make. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Healthier school lunches are the most important change schools can make.

An opinion expresses a belief or judgment that cannot be proven true or false; calling something 'the most important' is a value judgment, not a verifiable fact.

Question 26: Which of the following best describes the purpose of citing textual evidence in a written response?

To make the response longer
To copy the author's words without analysis
To support and validate the writer's claim with direct proof from the text (Correct answer)
To show how many pages the student read

Correct answer: To support and validate the writer's claim with direct proof from the text

Textual evidence provides direct support from the source that validates the writer's argument or interpretation.

Question 27: A bag contains 3 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 2 green marbles. If one marble is drawn at random, what is the probability it is blue?

3/10
1/2 (Correct answer)
2/5
1/3

Correct answer: 1/2

There are 5 blue marbles out of 10 total, so the probability is 5/10 = 1/2.

Question 28: On a dot plot, several dots are stacked at the value 7, and the rest are spread between 1 and 5. What does the cluster at 7 suggest?

7 is the mean of the data set.
7 is an outlier far from the rest of the data.
7 is the most frequent value in the data set. (Correct answer)
7 is the only value recorded.

Correct answer: 7 is the most frequent value in the data set.

A stack of dots at a single value on a dot plot shows that value was observed multiple times, making it the most frequent.

Question 29: A student is told their essay lacks 'coherence.' Which revision strategy BEST addresses this?

Add more direct quotes from the sources
Change the thesis to a question
Write a longer introduction
Use transitional words and phrases to connect ideas between sentences and paragraphs (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Use transitional words and phrases to connect ideas between sentences and paragraphs

Coherence—the logical flow of ideas—is improved by using transitions that show relationships between sentences, paragraphs, and the central thesis.

Question 30: A store is having a sale where everything is 20% off the original price, `p`. A customer also has a coupon for an additional $10 off the sale price. Which of the following expressions correctly represents the final price the customer will pay?

0.80(p - 10)
p - 0.20 - 10
0.20p - 10
0.80p - 10 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 0.80p - 10

A 20% discount means the customer pays 80% of the original price. This is calculated as 0.80 * p. After this discount is applied, the $10 coupon is subtracted from that new sale price. This sequence of operations is correctly represented by the expression 0.80p - 10.

Question 31: What is the primary purpose of a 'portfolio' in visual arts education?

To hold reference materials for classroom projects
To display only the student's best finished work
To document a student's creative process and growth over time (Correct answer)
To showcase artwork for sale to the public

Correct answer: To document a student's creative process and growth over time

An arts portfolio documents a student's creative development, including drafts, revisions, and reflections, not just final pieces.

Question 32: Which algebraic expression correctly represents the phrase "eight less than the product of a number, n, and three"?

8 - 3n
3(n - 8)
8 < 3n
3n - 8 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 3n - 8

First, translate "the product of a number, n, and three," which means 3 multiplied by n, or 3n. The phrase "eight less than" indicates subtraction from the previously established quantity. Therefore, you subtract 8 from 3n, resulting in the expression 3n - 8.

Question 33: What is the value of the expression 4x² - 3x + 1 when x = -2?

23 (Correct answer)
19
11
3

Correct answer: 23

Substitute x = -2: 4(4) - 3(-2) + 1 = 16 + 6 + 1 = 23.

Question 34: Two lines are cut by a transversal. If the co-interior (same-side interior) angles measure 112° and 68°, what is true about the two lines?

They intersect at 44°
They are perpendicular
They are parallel (Correct answer)
They are skew lines

Correct answer: They are parallel

Co-interior angles are supplementary (sum = 180°) when lines are parallel; 112 + 68 = 180, so the lines are parallel.

Question 35: Read this sentence: 'Her candid remarks made everyone uncomfortable because no one expected such blunt honesty.' What does candid most likely mean?

vague
rehearsed
diplomatic
straightforward (Correct answer)

Correct answer: straightforward

Candid means direct and honest, which aligns with 'blunt honesty' in the sentence.

Question 36: What is meant by 'maintaining a formal style' in an evidence-based written response?

Writing sentences that are all the same length
Beginning every sentence with a transitional phrase
Avoiding contractions, slang, and first-person opinion phrases in favor of objective academic language (Correct answer)
Using only vocabulary words that are extremely rare

Correct answer: Avoiding contractions, slang, and first-person opinion phrases in favor of objective academic language

Formal style means using academic language: avoiding slang, contractions, and casual phrasing while maintaining an objective, professional tone.

Question 37: In a short story, a recurring image of a locked door appears whenever the protagonist faces a moment of decision. The locked door most likely functions as:

A symbol representing blocked opportunities or suppressed choices (Correct answer)
An allusion to a well-known fairy tale
A plot device to slow the action
An example of dramatic irony

Correct answer: A symbol representing blocked opportunities or suppressed choices

When a concrete object consistently appears at thematically significant moments, it functions as a symbol carrying deeper meaning.

Question 38: A figure is reflected over the y-axis. If a point was at (5, −3), where is its image?

(5, 3)
(3, −5)
(−5, −3) (Correct answer)
(−5, 3)

Correct answer: (−5, −3)

Reflection over the y-axis negates the x-coordinate: (5, −3) → (−5, −3).

Question 39: What is the surface area of a cube with edge length 5 cm?

150 cm² (Correct answer)
125 cm²
25 cm²
100 cm²

Correct answer: 150 cm²

A cube has 6 faces, each with area 5² = 25 cm², so total surface area = 6 × 25 = 150 cm².

Question 40: What value of n makes 5n - 8 = 3n + 4 true?

6 (Correct answer)
3
2
8

Correct answer: 6

Subtract 3n from both sides: 2n - 8 = 4; add 8: 2n = 12; divide by 2: n = 6.

Question 41: A cylinder has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 10 inches. What is its volume? (Use π ≈ 3.14)

502.4 in³ (Correct answer)
160.8 in³
200.96 in³
251.2 in³

Correct answer: 502.4 in³

Volume = π r² h = 3.14 × 16 × 10 = 502.4 in³.

Question 42: A student is writing about a poem for the NJSLA. Which type of evidence is MOST appropriate to cite?

A comparison to a movie the student has seen
A summary of what the poet's life was like
Specific lines or words from the poem that support the student's interpretation (Correct answer)
A personal memory the poem reminded the student of

Correct answer: Specific lines or words from the poem that support the student's interpretation

Literary analysis of a poem must be grounded in textual evidence—specific words, lines, and literary devices from the poem itself.

Question 43: A formula for simple interest is I = prt. Which expression gives p in terms of I, r, and t?

rt/I
I - rt
I/(rt) (Correct answer)
Irt

Correct answer: I/(rt)

To isolate p, divide both sides of I = prt by rt, giving p = I/(rt).

Question 44: Which literary device is demonstrated in: 'The silence screamed louder than any alarm'?

Oxymoron / paradox (Correct answer)
Simile
Onomatopoeia
Alliteration

Correct answer: Oxymoron / paradox

Saying silence 'screamed' combines contradictory ideas (quiet and loud), creating an oxymoron/paradox that emphasizes the eerie tension.

Question 45: A reader notices that an informational article uses bold text for certain words. What is the MOST LIKELY reason for this formatting choice?

The author wanted to make the article look decorative
The bold words are key vocabulary terms that are important to understanding the text (Correct answer)
The printer ran out of regular ink for those words
Bold words are always defined in a separate chapter

Correct answer: The bold words are key vocabulary terms that are important to understanding the text

Authors use bold text to highlight key vocabulary or important concepts, signaling to readers that these terms require special attention.

Question 46: A stem-and-leaf plot shows stems 4, 5, 6, 7 with leaves 2 3 | 1 5 9 | 0 4 | 3. How many data values are in the 50s?

4

The stem 5 has leaves 1, 5, and 9, representing values 51, 55, and 59 — three values in the 50s.

Question 47: Simplify: (5x² - 3x + 2) - (2x² + x - 4)

3x² - 4x + 6 (Correct answer)
7x² - 4x + 6
3x² - 2x - 2
3x² - 4x - 2

Correct answer: 3x² - 4x + 6

Distribute the negative sign and combine like terms: 5x²-2x²=3x², -3x-x=-4x, 2+4=6.

Question 48: An athlete runs at 8 mph for 30 minutes, walks at 3 mph for 20 minutes, then sprints at 12 mph for 10 minutes. What is the total distance covered?

6 miles
8 miles
7 miles (Correct answer)
5.5 miles

Correct answer: 7 miles

Running: 8 × (30/60) = 4 miles; walking: 3 × (20/60) = 1 mile; sprinting: 12 × (10/60) = 2 miles; total = 4 + 1 + 2 = 7 miles.

Question 49: A student reads: 'Although the economy improved, unemployment remained stubbornly high.' The word 'although' signals:

That the events occurred in sequence
That the second idea is a cause of the first
That the two ideas are in contrast or tension with each other (Correct answer)
That two ideas support each other

Correct answer: That the two ideas are in contrast or tension with each other

'Although' is a contrast signal word indicating that the second idea is unexpected or contradicts what one might predict from the first.

Question 50: What is the value of |-8 + 3|?

-11
-5

Question 51: What abilities may kids develop through a sequential arts program?

Math and science skills
Self-management, relationship, and collaboration skills (Correct answer)
Cooking skills
Sports skills

Correct answer: Self-management, relationship, and collaboration skills

A sequential arts program provides structured opportunities for children to develop crucial social-emotional skills. Through collaborative projects, performances, and critiques, students learn to manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and work effectively with others. These experiences foster self-discipline, empathy, and teamwork, which are vital for success beyond the classroom.

Question 52: If the probability of rain on any given day is 0.3, what is the probability that it does NOT rain on two consecutive days?

0.6
0.49 (Correct answer)
0.42
0.09

Correct answer: 0.49

P(no rain) = 1 − 0.3 = 0.7 for each day; P(no rain on both) = 0.7 × 0.7 = 0.49.

Question 53: A school ordered 14 boxes of crayons with 24 crayons each. After distributing equal amounts to 9 classrooms, 12 crayons were left over. How many crayons did each classroom receive?

36 crayons (Correct answer)
40 crayons
30 crayons
27 crayons

Correct answer: 36 crayons

Total crayons = 14 × 24 = 336; crayons distributed = 336 − 12 = 324; each classroom gets 324 ÷ 9 = 36 crayons.

Question 54: Sarah earns $12 per hour and works 8 hours on weekdays and 10 hours on weekends. In one week (5 weekdays, 2 weekend days), how much does she earn in total?

$740
$680
$700
$720 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: $720

Weekday earnings = 5 × 8 × $12 = $480; weekend earnings = 2 × 10 × $12 = $240; total = $720.

Question 55: Read the following excerpt from a historical article: 'The construction of the transcontinental railroad was a monumental undertaking, driven by economic ambition and nationalistic pride. While it undeniably spurred westward expansion and integrated the national economy, it came at a significant cost. The displacement of Native American tribes, the harsh labor conditions for immigrant workers, and the profound alteration of the natural landscape are critical aspects of its complex legacy.' Which of the following statements best analyzes the author's purpose in this excerpt?

To celebrate the economic achievements brought about by the railroad.
To focus solely on the negative consequences of the railroad's construction.
To argue that the transcontinental railroad should never have been built.
To provide a balanced perspective on the impact of the transcontinental railroad. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: To provide a balanced perspective on the impact of the transcontinental railroad.

The author presents both the positive outcomes (spurred expansion, integrated economy) and the negative consequences (displacement of tribes, harsh labor, environmental impact) of the railroad's construction. This indicates a purpose of providing a balanced and multi-faceted view rather than taking a one-sided stance.

Question 56: In the sentence 'The soldiers showed remarkable fortitude, enduring hardship without complaint,' what does fortitude mean?

anger
confusion
courage and endurance (Correct answer)
cowardice

Correct answer: courage and endurance

Fortitude means mental and emotional strength in facing adversity.

Question 57: A passage states: 'The factory produced 2,400 units last year, yet efficiency dropped by 15%.' What inference can the reader draw?

The factory's process had some problems despite its output (Correct answer)
The factory was extremely successful
The factory will close soon
Workers were paid more last year

Correct answer: The factory's process had some problems despite its output

High output combined with dropping efficiency suggests underlying process issues despite surface productivity.

Question 58: A student reads two texts on the same topic: one is a personal blog post and the other is a peer-reviewed scientific journal article. Which text is MOST likely to be considered more reliable for a research report?

The blog post, because it has more photographs
The personal blog post, because it is easier to read
Both are equally reliable for academic research
The peer-reviewed journal article, because it has been reviewed by experts for accuracy (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The peer-reviewed journal article, because it has been reviewed by experts for accuracy

Peer-reviewed articles are evaluated by subject-matter experts before publication, making them more credible sources for academic research.

Question 59: Which expression is equivalent to 3(2x - 4) + 5x?

6x - 12
11x - 12 (Correct answer)
11x + 12
11x - 4

Correct answer: 11x - 12

Distribute to get 6x - 12 + 5x, then combine like terms to get 11x - 12.

Question 60: A historical article states: 'By 1920, women in the United States had gained the right to vote.' A student asks, 'What events led to this outcome?' The student is analyzing:

Cause-and-effect relationships within the text (Correct answer)
The organizational structure of a compare-and-contrast text
The author's use of figurative language
The central idea of the entire article

Correct answer: Cause-and-effect relationships within the text

Asking what events led to an outcome reflects cause-and-effect thinking, connecting prior events (causes) to a historical result (effect).
