Question 26: Which of the following is true about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?

A. He was the only child in his family.
This is incorrect because Mozart had a sister named Maria Anna.
B. His father played many roles in the music community in Salzburg.
This is correct. The passage mentions that Leopold Mozart was a composer, violinist, and assistant concert master at the Salzburg court, which implies he played many roles in the local music community.
C. He started to expose himself to music at the age of seven.
This is incorrect. According to the passage, Wolfgang began showing an interest in music much earlier, as a three-year-old, when he mimicked his sister's piano playing.

This is incorrect. The passage says his mother was a housewife from a middle-class family, not a local community leader.
Answer: B. His father played many roles in the music community in Salzburg.

Question 27: When looking at Anna playing piano, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart....

A. Composed music
This is incorrect. The passage does not say that Wolfgang composed music at this point. It mentions that he mimicked his sister’s playing.
B. Imitated her
This is correct. The passage states that Wolfgang mimicked Anna’s playing, which led to his early understanding of music.
C. Played violin
This is incorrect. While Wolfgang eventually played the violin, there is no mention of him playing it when he was observing his sister.

This is incorrect. The passage says that Wolfgang was learning music from his father, not the other way around.
Answer: B. Imitated her.

Question 28: The word “devoted” in the passage is closest in meaning to.....

A. Inconstant
This is incorrect. "Inconstant" means changing frequently, which is the opposite of "devoted."
B. Strict
This is not the best match. While the passage mentions that Leopold insisted on a strong work ethic and perfection, the word "devoted" implies dedication, which is different from "strict."
C. Committed
This is correct. "Devoted" means showing a lot of commitment or dedication, especially to a task or a cause, which fits the context of Leopold’s dedication to his children's education.
D. Only
This is incorrect. "Only" does not match the meaning of "devoted."
Answer: C. Committed.

This is partially true but misleading. The passage states that Leopold insisted on perfection but also made the lessons fun and emphasized a strong work ethic, not just perfection.
C. Did not ask for work morality
This is incorrect. The passage clearly states that Leopold insisted on a strong work ethic, meaning he did emphasize work morality.

Answer: D. Was his early tutor.
