Q: 5 The following text is translated from “When Father Brought Home the Lamp,” an 1883 short story by Finnish author Juhani
Aho. The narrator's father has just decided he will set out on a journey the next morning to acquire a lamp, an item no
other family in the village owns.
And that same evening father brought in from the storehouse the big traveling chest in which grandfather, in his time,
had stowed his provisions when he came from Uleaborg, and bade mother fill it with hay and lay a little cotton-wool in
the middle of it. We children asked why they put nothing in the box but hay and a little wool in the middle, but she bade
us hold our tongues, the whole lot of us. Father was in a better humor, and explained that he was going to bring a
lamp from the storekeeper, and that it was of glass, and might be broken to bits if he stumbled or if the sledge bumped
too much.

Q: 6 Adrian Guthrie and John Hafner showed that high moonlight intensity inhibits the activity of the desert kangaroo rat
(Dipodomys deserti), a finding explicable in terms of benefits and costs; greater lunar intensity may not enable the
kangaroo rats to increase foraging success enough to offset the higher chance of detection by predatory bobcats or owls.
Though many other nocturnal mammals respond to lunar intensity variations similarly to desert kangaroo rats, white-footed
mice (Peromyscus leucopus) display no such patterns as their heavy use of grass cover results in a different balance of
reward and risk.

Which choice best describes the reference to 'heavy use of grass cover' in the text as a whole?

A. It emphasizes an attribute of white-footed mice that enables them to respond to lunar intensity variations

Q: 7 Researchers have long hypothesized that woolly mammoths were hunted to extinction in North America by humans using
spears with grooved tips known as Clovis points. One anthropologist set out to test this hypothesis. Using a mechanical
spear-thrower, he launched spears with Clovis points into mounds of clay—substitutes for the animals' large bodies. The
projectiles generally penetrated only a few inches into the clay, an amount insufficient to have harmed most woolly
mammoths. This led the anthropologist to conclude that hunters using spears with Clovis points likely weren't the principal
drivers of the extinction.

Q: 9 Text 1
Scholarship today overrepresents experimentally fragmented narrative structures, such as that of Jean Toomer's Cane,
beyond the degree to which they actually influenced fiction in the United States during the modernist period (roughly 1900-
1945). Meanwhile, Ellen Glasgow's Barren Ground, whose coherent, linear narrative structure recalls the fiction of previous
centuries, attracts woefully little attention from scholars of modernism.

Text 2
Distant reading, or computer-assisted quantitative analysis of massive collections of digitized texts, can reveal stylistic
elements that have heretofore escaped notice, despite being shared by numerous texts from the modernist period. For too
long, scholars have focused on narrative fragmentation versus coherence, inhibiting inquiry into other points of stylistic
correspondence among works that would enrich our understanding of the modernist canon.

Based on the texts, both the author of Text 1 and the author of Text 2 would most likely agree with which statement about
scholarship on the modernist period in the United States?

✓ Correct Ans A. At present, it only partially captures the stylistic dimensions of the fiction written in the period.
B. Its primary methods for analyzing fiction written in the period are growing obsolete as computer
technology advances.
C. Instead of engaging in unproductive debates, it should work to rehabilitate the reputations of neglected
modernist works.
D. It must widen its focus to include aspects of modernist fiction beyond style, a productive but
overrepresented site of inquiry.

Q: 10 To combat predation by Arizona myotis and other insectivorous bats, many moth species, including Cycnia tenera, emit
ultrasonic pulses that, in some cases, disrupt the echolocation bats rely on for foraging. Some scientists have
hypothesized that this capability evolved because it imposes a lower metabolic cost than does the alternative mechanism of
producing chemicals that render moths noxious to bats. Nicholas T. Homziak et al. investigated the acoustic properties of
moths' ultrasonic responses to audio of bat echolocation and then assessed the palatability of the ultrasound- producing
moths. They found that several moth genera that emit ultrasonic pulses capable of disrupting bat echolocation are
unpalatable to bats, suggesting that ____
Which choice most logically completes the text?

A. most genera of moths that produce ultrasound capable of disrupting bat echolocation do so primarily for
purposes other than evading capture by Arizona myotis and other predators.
B. the hypothesis about the development of this ultrasonic defense likely does not account for all instances of
the trait in moths.
✓ Correct Ans C. although previous findings about Cycnia tenera are consistent with the hypothesis about the low
metabolic cost of producing noxious chemicals, the ability to disrupt bat echolocation and unpalatability
are not mutually exclusive traits.
D. further investigations into moths' ability to protect themselves by disrupting bat echolocation will likely find
that moth genera relying on this mechanism are also generally inedible to bats.

Q: 13 Women who lived near green areas had a similar mortality rate to women who lived far from green areas. Previous
research has suggested that people who spend time surrounded by greenness (natural vegetation) live longer, likely due
to less exposure to dangerous environmental factors such as air pollution and extreme heat. A 2016 study by
epidemiologist Peter James and team hypothesized that other factors, such as improved mental health and reduced risk of
depression, also play a significant role in the association between greenness and decreased risk of death (mortality rate).
To test this hypothesis, the team followed 108,630 women from across the United States. The researchers used satellite
imagery to measure the amount of greenness near the women's homes and recorded the number of non-accident deaths
in the group between 2000 and 2008.

Which finding, if true, would most directly support the team's assertion?

A. Women who lived near more greenness experienced an increased mortality rate, regardless of average
temperatures.
B. Women who lived in the most green areas suffered more deaths from accidents than did those living in
the least green areas.
✓ Correct Ans C. Women who lived in the least green areas were far more likely to die of mental-health related causes.

Q: 14

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) produce energy by combining hydrogen and air, then separating the air
into protons and electrons. The electrons create electricity while the protons migrate through a thin polymer membrane to
produce water and heat. Traditionally. the membranes are manufactured through casting. Chemical engineers tested a
novel method of creating such membranes: electrospinning, in which charged and uncharged nanofibers are spun
together into a dual-fiber mat. The engineers concluded that electrospinning shows potential as a way to improve the
efficiency of PEMFCs compared to traditional methods of manufacture.
Which choice best describes data from the graph that supports the engineers' conclusion?

A. Both the PEMFC produced through casting and the PEMFC produced through electrospinning showed
an energy extraction efficiency greater than 50% at all thicknesses.

Q: 33 Emma Harrison, a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, had gone to northeastern Puerto Rico's Luquillo
Mountains, which rise steeply from sea level up to 1,075 meters in elevation, to look into why erosion rates aren't as high
as it seems they should be. Uplifted between about 37 million and 28 million years ago, this range is the first barrier on the
island encountered by the prevailing easterly winds, which carry moisture from the Caribbean Sea. The resulting
orographic effect¹ produces copious rainfall, exceeding 5 meters per year at higher elevations, where a dense rainforest
thrives. "With the amount of precipitation [the area] gets, you should be eroding the range at a much quicker rate,"
Harrison explains. Whereas erosion rates in the Luquillos range from about 0.05 to 0.18 millimeters per year depending on
elevation, rates are typically much higher in other high-precipitation tropical environments, she says; the mountains of
Taiwan, for example, lose between 2.2 and 8.3 millimeters per year.
According to the text, why is the location of the Luquillo Mountains in Northeastern Puerto Rico important?

A. It enables the Luquillos to support an unusually diverse array of earthworms.

✓ Correct Ans B. It leads to the Luquillos' receiving an especially large amount of precipitation.

Q: 35 The Far Side of the World, first published in 1984, is a novel in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, which includes
twenty books plus an unfinished fragment of a twenty-first. Like the rest of the books in the series, The Far Side of the
World has a rather abrupt ending, but the following book, the Reverse of the Medal, picks up neatly where The Far Side of
the World leaves off. Thus, the sudden ending is only an issue if one considers the books as independent texts—the
Aubrey/Maturin series is best thought of as a single incredibly long work, similar to other multivolume stories, such as John
Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga.

Which choice best states the main idea of the text?

A. It is unfair that the Aubrey/Maturin series does not have the critical reputation of The Forsyte Saga, which
has a similar structure.
B. The Far Side of the World and The Reverse of the Medal are two of the most complex of Patrick O'Brian's
novels due in part to their unconventional structures.

✓ Correct Ans C. The structures of each of the novels of the Aubrey/Maturin series suggest that the series should be
considered a single continuous story.
D. Many readers find the Aubrey/Maturin novels to be remarkably entertaining despite flaws in the novels'
structures.

Q: 36 The Federalist, which consisted of a collection of essays, was written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay
in 1788. In the tenth essay, Madison argues that a common problem that governments face is fair representation of all
people, as the majority will oppress the minority because it is likely to use its power to pass laws or take action that benefit
itself, without regard for the rights of smaller groups: _______
Which quotation from The Federalist most effectively illustrates Madison's claim?

A. “There are again two methods of removing the causes of faction: the one, by destroying the liberty which
is essential to its existence; the other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions,
and the same interests.”
B. “Complaints are everywhere heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens…that our
governments are too unstable, that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties.”
✓ Correct Ans C. "Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but
by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority."
D. “As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be
formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his
passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other.”

Q: 37 Hypothesizing that lullabies, characterized by their slow tempos, are universally calming to infants, Constance M.
Bainbridge and colleagues played a lullaby sung in the Scottish Gaelic language and a non-lullaby sung in the Seri
language to a group of infants. The team found that the infants' heart rates decreased more during the lullaby than during
the non-lullaby. Since a decrease in heart rate is associated with relaxation, the team concluded that the lullaby relaxed the
infants. Noting that reduced heart rate can also be associated with increased attention, one critic argues that instead, the
lullaby simply attracted the infants' attention. Bainbridge and colleagues also measured pupil size, as pupils typically
become larger when a stimulus captures a person's attention.
Which finding, if true, would most directly weaken the critic's claim?

A. Blinking, which indicates attention, was equally frequent whether infants were listening to the song in
Scottish Gaelic or the song in Seri.
B. Neither the Scottish Gaelic language nor the melody of the Highland Scots lullaby was familiar to infants in
the study.
✓ Correct Ans C. The infants' pupils were smaller when the infants were listening to lullabies than when they were listening
to non-lullabies.
D. Parents of infants in the study chose the lullaby over the non-lullaby when asked which song they would
use to calm their child.

Which quotation from a translation of The Underdogs most effectively illustrates the claim?

A. “All day long they rode through the canyon, up and down the steep, round hills, dirty and bald as a man's

B. “[The soldiers] entered the streets of Juchipila as the church bells rang, loud and joyfully, with that peculiar
tone that thrills every mountaineer.”
✓ Correct Ans C. “Juchipila rose in the distance, white, bathed in sunlight, shining in the midst of a thick forest at the foot of
a proud, lofty mountain.”
D. “The sierra is clad in gala colors. Over its inaccessible peaks the opalescent fog settles like a snowy veil

Drosophila (fruit flies) have generation times of 10-12 days, so seasonal changes in humidity and other environmental
conditions can drive seasonal fluctuations in chromosome rearrangements in species such as D. persimilis and D.
subobscura. Drosophila body size (for which wing centroid size serves as a proxy measure) correlates with life span. Banu
Sebnem Önder and Cansu Fidan Aksoy measured the wing sizes of members of a D. melanogaster population in Yesilöz,
Turkey, that were collected monthly between May and October over three years. Their research suggests that Drosophila
collected in relatively warmer months should tend to have a longer life span, as is illustrated by the finding that, ____

Q: 40

In most ecosystems, predators occupy distinct territories to avoid competing for the same prey. A student studied the
success rates of coyotes and badgers, two apex predators with similar prey (such as ground squirrels and prairie dogs).
The student used video tags to track individual coyotes and badgers, selecting some individuals that did not overlap
territories with the other predator, as well as animals that shared hunting grounds. Surprisingly, the student found that
compared to coyotes and badgers that were the only predator in their territory, those that shared territory actually
captured more prey.
Which choice best describes data from the table that support the researcher's conclusion?

A. Both coyotes and badgers on average spent fewer hours per day hunting when sharing territory, allowing
them to conserve more energy.
B. While the average number of ground squirrels and prairie dogs captured per day increased for both
coyotes and badgers in shared territory, it came at the detriment of investing more time hunting.
✓ Correct Ans C. When sharing territory, coyotes captured a higher number of ground squirrels, while badgers captured a
higher number of prairie dogs.
D. The coyotes that were the sole apex predators caught 0.76 and 1.09 prairie dogs and ground squirrels
daily on average, respectively, while those that shared territory with badgers caught 1.33 and 0.90 prairie
dogs and squirrels daily on average, respectively.
