Q: 5 Shedding light on the thermal biology of fungi, research by Radames Cordero et al. indicates that certain mushrooms
(including Marasmius capillaris and species from the genus Russula) can achieve a hypothermic state through evaporative
cooling. Effects of this thermoregulation were not limited to the fungi's fruiting bodies and root-like hyphae: temperature
reductions were observed in the air immediately surrounding the mushrooms. Though slight, the reductions inspired an air-
cooling device; using approximately 400 grams of mushrooms, the team's prototype lowered the air temperature in a
controlled environment by 10°C in forty minutes.

Q: 9 In 2016 Marta S. Pimentel and colleagues published a study concluding that ocean acidification has a strong effect on the
behavior of Sparus aurata, a species of fish. However, Pimentel and colleagues' study relied on a mean sample size of only
12 fish. In a 2022 review of various scientists' conclusions about the impacts of ocean acidification on fish behavior,
Timothy D. Clark and colleagues caution that relying on such a relatively small sample size can increase the potential for
biased analysis. Such analysis, in turn, can contribute to reports of exaggerated effects

Q: 10 Immanuel Wallerstein and other historians of capitalism rarely discuss domestic capitalism in Africa before the period of
European colonization, implicitly presenting capitalism as external to and imposed on Africa. Crislayne Alfagali and other
Africanist scholars have shown, however, that in parts of Africa, wage labor competition, the manufacture of surplus goods
for monetized sale, and other features of capitalism predated colonization. One reason for this discrepancy is that
historians of capitalism tend to focus on longitudinal economic data drawn from archival records, which do not exist for
much of precolonial Africa.

Which statement about Alfagali and other Africanist scholars is best supported by information in the text?

2000 and 2015; such shifts are typically explained by appeal to the energy ladder, a model holding that fuel choice is
mediated mainly by household income (specifically, high-technology fuels displace solid fuels as incomes rise). Alemu
Mekonnen and Gunnar Köhlin's study of fuel use in Ethiopia shows how reductive this model is, however: although income
of course constrained fuel choice, several circumstances, including the local availability of different fuel sources, influenced
decisions.

Which choice best describes the function of the underlined portion in the text as a whole?

✗ Your Ans A. It anticipates a potential objection to the description of a model that the text provides.
B. It admits the superficial plausibility of an assumption that the text presents as lacking any empirical
support.
✓ Correct Ans C. It acknowledges the role played by a factor whose importance the text suggests has been overstated.

Q: 33 Text 1
Isaac Asimov, author of Robots and Empire and I, Robot, is highly regarded despite his mediocre writing style. His prose is
workmanlike: his characters are flat and discuss ideas rather than emotions. That his work is enjoyable despite this is a
testament to his prodigious imagination; even if people read his books only for the ideas, they will have plenty to consider.

Text 2
Asimov is critiqued for his style, but it is wrong to fault a writer for failing to do what he never intended to do. For example,
although most of his novel Foundation consists of people discussing science and politics and we find out little about his
characters' lives, Asimov wanted to convey the vast sweep of human history over centuries, and one of his points is that at
such a timescale, individuals don't matter. Thus his lack of characterization is central to his thematic aims.

Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the description of Asimov's characters in the
underlined portion of Text 1?

A. The flatness of Asimov's characters is a feature of Robots and Empire and I, Robot but not of Foundation.
B. Asimov's characterizations would have been more believable if his writing had discussed fewer ideas.
C. Asimov's characterizations would have been richer if he had possessed a deeper understanding of
history.
✓ Your Ans D. The flatness of Asimov's characters should not necessarily be considered a flaw in his writing.

Q: 34 Joel Brown and colleagues showed that high moonlight intensity inhibits the activity of the Arizona pocket mouse
(Perognathus amplus), a finding explicable in terms of benefits and costs: greater lunar intensity may not enable the mice
to increase foraging success enough to offset the higher chance of detection by predatory owls or hawks. Though many
other nocturnal mammals respond to lunar intensity variations similarly to Arizona pocket mice, Azara's night monkeys
(Aotus azarae) display the opposite pattern, as their heavy reliance on visual foraging results in a different balance of
reward and risk.

Based on the text, why do Azara's night monkeys respond to high lunar intensity differently than Arizona pocket mice do?

A. In such conditions, the chance of detection by predators declines for Azara's night monkeys but rises for
Arizona pocket mice.
B. Although the risks of activity in such conditions are greater for Azara's night monkeys than they are for
Arizona pocket mice, the rewards are also greater for Azara's night monkeys.
✓ Correct Ans C. In such conditions, the costs of activity are lower relative to the benefits of activity for Azara's night
monkeys than they are for Arizona pocket mice.
✗ Your Ans D. Due to their heavy reliance on visual foraging. Azara's night monkeys experience a reduction in their
foraging success in such conditions, whereas Arizona pocket mice experience no change in their
foraging success.

Q: 36 Neurobiologists Laura Cuaya, Raúl Hernández-Pérez, and colleagues investigated the language detection abilities of
eighteen dogs. The researchers monitored the brain activity of Grog (a border collie), Alma (a mixed breed), and other
dogs while the animals listened to three recordings: one of The Little Prince being read in Spanish, the second in
Hungarian, and a third made up of short, randomly selected fragments of the first two, scrambled so that they didn't
resemble human speech. Each dog was familiar with either Spanish or Hungarian, but not both. The team concluded that
differences in dogs' anatomical features may affect their ability to distinguish speech from nonspeech

Which finding from the study, if true, would most directly support the team's conclusion?

✗ Your Ans A. The pattern of brain activity that long-headed dogs showed when hearing the scrambled recording was
different from the pattern of brain activity that short-headed dogs showed when hearing the language they
were accustomed to.
B. Compared with shorter headed dogs, longer-headed dogs showed a greater difference in brain activity
when hearing either Spanish or Hungarian than when hearing the scrambled recording.
✓ Correct Ans C. Compared with shorter-headed dogs, longer-headed dogs showed a greater difference in brain activity
when hearing the language they were accustomed to than when hearing the other language.
D. Long-headed dogs accustomed to hearing Spanish tended to show more brain activity when hearing
Spanish than long-headed dogs accustomed to hearing Hungarian showed when hearing Hungarian.

Q: 38 Scholars cite Mr. President, the 1946 novel by Guatemalan author Miguel Ángel Asturias, as a foundational text of magical
realism, the Latin American style of fiction in which antirealistic plot devices—often borrowed from the folkloric traditions of
Indigenous and colonial societies in the Americas—are deployed in an otherwise realistic mode of representation typical of
the modern novel. This style has exerted a decisive influence on authors around the world, including Olga Tokarczuk,
whose 1996 novel Primeval and Other Times resembles classic magical realist novels in its juxtaposition of literary realism
with folklore—namely, that of Poland.

Which quotation from a literary scholar would most directly support the claim in the underlined portion of the text?

A. "The logic of the realistic plot of Primeval and Other Times is repeatedly and productively disrupted by
the presence of imagery and situations drawn from Polish folklore."
✓ Your Ans B. "Although Polish folklore clearly informs the style and occasionally antirealistic plot of Primeval and Other
Times, the novel also shows the inarguable influence of the magical realist tradition of Latin America."
C. "Like many works in the Latin American magical realist tradition, Primeval and Other Times is indebted
to antirealistic elements in the folkloric tradition of Poland."
D. "While Primeval and Other Times alternates between realistic and antirealistic modes of representation,
details suggesting the influence of Polish folklore nevertheless occur throughout the novel."

development. Extrapolating from parasite counts on Pacific herring and seven other fish species collected from Puget
Sound from 1880 to 2019, Chelsea Wood et al. found that the abundance of three-host parasites, such as Lecithaster sp.,
negatively correlated with rising average annual sea temperatures; the abundance of two-host parasites, such as C.
parophrysi, was largely stable. Noting that fish and other marine vertebrates are especially vulnerable to climate change,
Wood et al. observed that all three-host parasites in the study depend on at least two vertebrate species, while all two-host
parasites depend on only one, suggesting that ____

Which choice most logically completes the text?

✗ Your Ans A. although Lecithaster sp. and C. parophrysi both require Pacific herring as a host, C. parophrysi was more
