Question Instructions: Questions 1 to 3 are reading comprehension questions. Read the passages and then select the correct answer to the questions. In 1749, British surveyors spotted a high peak in the distant range of the Himalayas. More than 100 years later, in 1852, another survey was completed, which confirmed that this peak was the highest mountain in the world. Later named Mount Everest, this peak was considered to be the world’s highest mountain until 1986. At that time, George Wallerstein from the University of Washington posited that another Himalayan mountain, named K-2, was higher than Everest. It took an expedition of Italian scientists, who used a surfeit of technological devices, to disprove Wallerstein’s claim. According to the passage, which one of the following statements is correct? Since 1749, Mount Everest has universally been considered to be the tallest mountain in the world. Wallerstein fell into disrepute in the academic community after his claims were disproved. The Italian team confirmed that Everest was, in fact, the tallest mountain in the world. In spite of a lack of technologically-advanced equipment, Italian scientists were able to refute Wallerstein's hypothesis. Correct The correct answer is C. The last sentence of the passage states: “It took an expedition of Italian scientists, who used a surfeit of technological devices, to disprove Wallerstein’s claim.” In other words, the Italians proved that Everest was in fact higher than K-2. Note: Surfeit means a large or abundant amount of something. Incorrect The correct answer is C. The last sentence of the passage states: “It took an expedition of Italian scientists, who used a surfeit of technological devices, to disprove Wallerstein’s claim.” In other words, the Italians proved that Everest was in fact higher than K-2. Note: Surfeit means a large or abundant amount of something. Question 2 of 20 2 . Question Socio-economic status, rather than intellectual ability, may be the key to a child’s success later in life. Consider two hypothetical elementary school students named John and Paul. Both of these children work hard, pay attention in the classroom, and are respectful to their teachers. Yet, Paul’s father is a prosperous business tycoon, while John’s has a menial job working in a factory. Despite the similarities in their academic aptitudes, the disparate economic situations of their parents means that Paul is nearly 30 times more likely than John to land a high-flying job by the time he reaches his fortieth year. In fact, John has only a 12% chance of finding and maintaining a job that would earn him even a median-level income. We can conclude from information in this passage that: academic ability is directly related to one’s financial status later in life. children from high-income families are academically successful. children from affluent families are more likely to remain affluent as they grow older. most children from low-income families will get jobs in factories. Correct The correct answer is C. The passage states: “Paul is nearly 30 times more likely than John to land a high-flying job.” High-flying means well-paid, so Paul, and other children like him, will remain affluent. The other answer choices are incorrect interpretations of specific points from the passage. A is incorrect because both John and Paul in the passage above are academically successful. Yet John will probably have a lower financial status than John later in life, according to the passage. B is incorrect because we only know that the particular child in the passage (Paul) is academically successful. The passage does not state that all children from high-income families are successful academically. D is incorrect because the passage states that children from low-income families may get low-paying jobs. It does not state that they will necessarily get jobs in factories. Incorrect The correct answer is C. The passage states: “Paul is nearly 30 times more likely than John to land a high-flying job.” High-flying means well-paid, so Paul, and other children like him, will remain affluent.

Question Sir Isaac Newton had the prescience to appreciate that his study of natural phenomena was of great import for the scientific community and for society as a whole. It is because of Newton’s work that we currently understand the effect of gravity on the earth as a global system. As a result of Newton’s investigation into the subject of gravity, we know today that geological features such as mountains and canyons can cause variances in the Earth’s gravitational force. Newton must also be acknowledged for the realization that the force of gravity becomes less robust as the distance from the equator diminishes, due to the rotation of the earth, as well as the declining mass and density of the planet from the equator to the poles. What is the author’s main purpose? to analyze natural phenomena to reconcile various gravitational theories to identify a reservation which Newton experienced to emphasize the significance of Newton’s achievement Correct The correct answer is D. The passage uses the word “prescience,” which means insight, to describe Newton in the topic sentence. Later, the writer uses the phrases “because of Newton’s work . . . we currently understand” and “As a result of Newton’s investigation . . . we know today.” Therefore, the writer believes that Newton made a significant achievement. Incorrect The correct answer is D. The passage uses the word “prescience,” which means insight, to describe Newton in the topic sentence. Later, the writer uses the phrases “because of Newton’s work . . . we currently understand” and “A...
