Question 1.
October, painted in the realist style by Jules Bastien-Lepage, depicts peasant
women picking potatoes. The realists' emphasis on accurately portraying the
experiences of average working people was largely a rejection of the
romantic style evident in many paintings by Jean-Victor Schnetz, which
instead ______ their subjects' beauty or heroism while hiding all imperfection.

phrase?
A. mock
B. exaggerate
C. correct
D. undermine
Question 2.
The minor planet (796) Sarita was named after the animal genus that
includes cranes. But most minor planets are given only an identification
number, largely due to there being over 600,000 such bodies known at
present. So while the task of finding a unique name for each minor planet
was ______ when few had been discovered, so many minor planets have since
been discovered that the task has become nearly impossible.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or
phrase?
A. insurmountable
B. substantial
C. ambiguous
D. feasible
Question 3.

C. evaded
D. overcame
Question 5.
Any effort to raise the toll that drivers must pay to use the Lewiston-
Queenston Bridge, which spans the Niagara River to connect New York State
and Ontario, Canada, should explain why a higher toll is necessary; no
amount of justification, however, is likely to persuade some drivers who
believe the current toll is ______.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or
phrase?
A. warranted
B. exorbitant
C. equivocal
D. contentious
Question 6.
Researchers examining data from the New Horizons space probe, which
passed Pluto in 2015, were puzzled by a 27-mile-long crater on Pluto's icy
surface. Although Pluto is mostly covered in frozen methane and nitrogen,
the surface near the crater seemed to show the presence of water ice and
ammonia—both of which are associated with eruptions from ice volcanoes.
https://www.facebook.com/crackdigitalsatwithstewie102/
Page 4
Additionally, the shape and appearance of the crater did not suggest that it
was formed by impact. Based on this evidence, scientist Dale Cruikshank and
his team hypothesized that the crater was likely once a massive ice volcano.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the
text as a whole?
Question 7.
Text 1
In the past, music albums were created to be played back on physical
formats like records. A typical record holds only about twenty-five minutes of
music on each of its shiny black sides. This forced artists and producers to
think carefully about what music to include on an album and what to leave
out. Today’s artists don’t have to worry as much about fitting their music on
physical formats. For this reason, many of today’s artists are making albums
that are much longer than albums from decades past.
Text 2
In today’s digital age, most music is created to be streamed from online
services. These services remove the limitations of physical formats like
records and CDs. This may be why many new albums are longer and have
more songs than albums crafted for physical formats. Unfortunately, many of
these longer albums suffer from a lack of focus.
Based on the texts, the author of Text 1 and the author of Text 2 would most
likely agree with which statement about many new albums?
A. Many new albums sell more copies than albums generally once sold.
B. Many new albums are quieter than albums generally once were.
C. Many new albums include more artwork than albums generally once
included.
D. Many new albums are longer than albums generally once were.

Question 8.
It has long been thought that the original author of the US Pledge of
Allegiance was Francis Bellamy, who said that he wrote the pledge one
evening in August of 1892. But a historian recently discovered a newspaper
article that was published several months before August 1892. The article
describes students reciting the same pledge that Bellamy claims he first
wrote in August. This means that Bellamy may not have created the pledge
after all.
Based on the text, what piece of knowledge about the Pledge of Allegiance
has recently become uncertain?
Question 9.
Toads and macaque monkeys can see in three dimensions (3D), which helps
them perceive distance and depth. Octopuses and squid are thought to lack
3D vision. Many researchers once thought the same about cuttlefish, but
Trevor Wardill and his team wanted to test whether this assumption was true.
The team studied how cuttlefish wearing 3D glasses reacted to 3D images of
shrimp (a favorite prey) projected on a tank wall. Cuttlefish changed their
striking position to match the 3D images, suggesting that their vision is more
like that of toads and macaque monkeys than that of octopuses or squid.
Question 10.
The following text is from Anthony Trollope’s 1855 novel The Warden. Tom
Towers is a writer for the newspaper The Jupiter.
It is true that in far-off provinces men did not talk daily of Tom Towers but
they read The Jupiter, and acknowledged that without The Jupiter life was not

worth having. This kind of hidden but still conscious glory suited the nature
of the man. He loved to sit silent in a corner of his club and listen to the loud
chattering of politicians, and to think how they all were in his power,—how
he could smite the loudest of them, were it worth his while to raise his pen
for such a purpose.
What does the text most strongly suggest about Tom Towers?
Question 11.
Researchers Carolina Laura Morales and Anna Traveset gathered data about
flowering plants growing alongside each other in various locations. In each
case, the researchers identified one plant as a "target species" and a nearby
plant as a "neighboring species." The researchers then calculated a value to
show how the neighboring species affected pollinator visits to the target
species. The table shows that the prickly pear had an effect value of ______.
Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the

Question 12.
The nearly forty tribes located in Oklahoma, including the Chickasaw Nation
and the Seminole Nation, operate numerous businesses and generate billions
of dollars in revenue. A student in an economics class is researching the
tribes' collective activity as a single industry. The student wants to compare
that industry's contribution to Oklahoma's overall economy in 2017 with the
contributions made by three other industries in the state. Looking at the
table, the student finds that tribal economic activity totaled over $7.3 billion,
ranking it above ______.
Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the
comparison?
Question 13.
Assessing the role of forests as sinks for airborne microplastics that would
otherwise continue to disperse in the atmosphere, Akane Miyazaki and her
team measured concentrations of plastic particulates on leaves from konara
oak trees in Japan. The team used three separate extraction methods: an
ultrapure water rinse, a rinse combined with ultrasonic waves, and an
alkaline solution treatment that removes epicuticular wax (a surface coating
on most land plants to which particles can adhere). The concentrations of
particulates recovered were 7.6 percent for water extraction, 38.4 percent
for ultrasonic extraction, and 53.8 percent for alkaline extraction, leading the
team to conclude that previous assessments have likely underestimated
forest canopies' capacity as sinks.
Which detail, if true, would most directly support the team's conclusion?

Question 14.
Mariana Lopes Barata and Pedro Simões Coelho collected data from 324
music-streaming service users to identify factors that influence users to opt
for paid (premium) versions of music streaming services, like Apple Music.
They hypothesized that performance expectancy (how much the use of a
service is perceived to benefit the consumer) would be positively correlated
with users' intentions to adopt premium versions. The researchers asked
participants to rate statements such as “Using paid music streaming services
increases my productivity.” They found that, indeed, performance
expectancy positively influences the intention to adopt premium streaming
service versions, which suggests that ______.
Question 15.
On January 24, 2013, the Navajo Times ______ a profile of Cornfields Chapter
(K’iiłtsohtah), which is one of the 110 chapters of the Navajo Nation

Question 4.
Kirsten Bos and other researchers studying the history of organisms have
long utilized ancient DNA—DNA recovered from ancient organic material that
has been preserved under natural conditions. However, Reyhane P. Oliveira
and colleagues’ 2017 study of the evolutionary trajectory of the Malagasy
grass genus Chasechloa instead relied on historical DNA—genomic data
incidentally preserved in specimens that are housed in natural history
collections—thus capitalizing on the research potential offered by a vast but
hitherto relatively underutilized source of insight into the biological past.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined portion in the text
as a whole?
Question 5.
Established knowledge of prehistoric societies primarily stems from analysis
of durable historical artifacts, including pieces of pottery, but Ruth Maícas
Ramos and team have contributed new insights with a unique analysis of
plant-based items. Plant-based artifacts, including straw baskets, are seldom
studied due to their perishable nature. This relative scarcity made it all the
more exciting when the team examined remains of well-preserved organic
artifacts discovered in a cave in Spain and determined that they dated even
further back than previously thought.

B. It describes the uncertain nature of a discovery by the researchers
mentioned earlier in the text.
C. It refers to a challenging situation presented earlier in the text.
D. It distinguishes between the two types of historical artifacts discussed
earlier in the text.
Question 6.
In 2023 Nobel Prize-winning physicist Giorgio Parisi published In a Flight of
Starlings, a collection of essays on scientific subjects. Acclaimed author Sam
Kean, who uses the form of nonfiction narrative to explore scientific
discoveries, is interested in the collection less for its aesthetic merit than for
its focus on "the false starts... and mistakes that beset real scientific
research every day." Kean argues that all too often, scientists omit this
"human stuff" from written accounts of their research and thus ultimately
"fail to explain how science really gets done."
Question 7.
The following text is from William Shakespeare’s circa 1611 play The
Winter’s Tale. Camillo has been away from his home in Sicily and serves in
the court of Polixenes, the king of Bohemia. He has asked Polixenes for
permission to return to Sicily.
CAMILLO: It is fifteen years since I saw my country. Though I have for the
most part been aired abroad, I desire to lay my bones there. Besides, the
https://www.facebook.com/crackdigitalsatwithstewie102/
Page 17
penitent king, my master, hath sent for me, to whose feeling sorrows I might
be some allay—or I o’erween [presume] to think so—which is another spur to
my departure.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined portion in the text
as a whole?
A. It conveys Camillo’s recognition that one benefit his presence may afford
the king of Sicily is merely speculative.
B. It suggests that Camillo feels compelled to persuade Polixenes that
Camillo’s decision to leave the court is justified.
C. It establishes Camillo’s hope that Polixenes will be comforted knowing that
Camillo isn’t departing at his own discretion.
D. It bolsters the idea that Camillo’s primary motivation to return home is his
concern for the king of Sicily’s well-being in his absence.
Question 8.
The following text is from Narciso Tondreau’s 1898 poem “Yesterday and To-
Day” (translated by Agnes Blake Poor in 1918). The poem is about an old

Question 10.
In an international collaboration, Elaine Ostrander, Alan K. Outram, and other
researchers probed the evolutionary history of size variation in modern dogs.
Scientific consensus held that early dogs had large body mass and that a
genetic driver of smaller size in some breeds (e.g., bulldogs) developed only
within the last 20,000 years as a result of selective breeding for
characteristics favored by humans. Ostrander et al. assert that this
explanation is flawed, having discovered that a mutation responsible for
variants of IGF1, a gene found in many mammals that regulates production
of insulin-like growth factor 1, is ubiquitous in domestic dog breeds.
A. The mutation related to IGF1 influences body size and is found in 53,000-
year-old genetic material from fossils of Siberian wolves (Canis lupus
campestris), an ancestor of dogs.
https://www.facebook.com/crackdigitalsatwithstewie102/
Page 19
B. One variant of IGF1 is found only in smaller dog breeds like bulldogs and
appears to have emerged no more than 20,000 years ago.
C. An additional mutation related to IGF1 affects the development of
characteristics other than body size in smaller dog breeds like bulldogs.
D. IGF1 has been isolated in genetic material from fossils more than 20,000
years old of the red wolf (Canis rufus) and certain other species related to
dogs.
Question 11.
Callie W. Babbitt, Hema Madaka, and colleagues assembled a database of
materials used in consumer electronics by studying products in the lab and
by gathering data from similar product studies. The team gave each of these
studies a rating for level of detail (with a higher rating for reported data with
more detail) and for level of traceability (with a higher rating for clearer
descriptions of procedures). Based on these ratings, a second research team
concluded that a study by Bajpaki P. Hikwama provided more specificity in its
data than a study by Jef R. Peeters and colleagues did.
Which finding, if true, would most directly challenge the second research
team’s conclusion?
A. The study by Hikwama had a high detail rating and a high traceability
rating.
B. The study by Peeters and colleagues had a low detail rating and a low
traceability rating.
C. The study by Hikwama had a lower traceability rating than the study by
Peeters and colleagues did.
D. The study by Hikwama had a lower detail rating than the study by Peeters
and colleagues did.
Question 12.
Growing seasons in Alaska have been extending further into the year as a
result of climate changes, potentially enabling increased carbon dioxide
(CO₂) absorption through greater productivity of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum
palustre) plants and other vegetation, but also potentially enabling increased
CO₂ output through greater heterotrophic respiration (CO₂ generated by the
activity of soil microorganisms). Hydrologist Yonghong Yi and her colleagues
developed a model incorporating numerous inputs—years of solar radiation
and snow cover data among them—to evaluate the effects of climate
changes on the CO₂ balance in Alaska, concluding that net CO₂ is likely to
https://www.facebook.com/crackdigitalsatwithstewie102/
Page 20
increase if seasonal snow cover arrives earlier relative to the onset of soil
surface freezing.
A. The effect of solar radiation on the growth of vegetation and on the rate of
heterotrophic respiration is stronger during the period of seasonal snow
cover than during the period without snow cover.
B. Relatively early snow cover reduces the amount of soil moisture available
for the growth of plant species such as C. palustre and lowers the rate of
heterotrophic respiration.
C. Seasonal snow cover tends to persist longer in areas of relatively low
vegetation growth and high heterotrophic respiration than in areas of
relatively high vegetation growth and low heterotrophic respiration.
D. The soil insulation provided by snow cover enables heterotrophic
respiration to continue during a period in which plant species such as C.
palustre are typically not growing.
Question 13.
Over 600 languages are spoken in New York City in addition to English—one
can find Acehnese spoken in the neighborhood of Astoria, or Fujianese in
Sunset Park. Most speakers of Chinese languages reside in the neighborhood
of Flushing (part of New York City’s borough of Queens), where the dominant
Chinese language is Mandarin, and in Chinatown, in the borough of
Manhattan, where the dominant Chinese languages are Cantonese and
Fuzhounese. Mandarin is widely spoken in north China, while Cantonese and
Fuzhounese are widely spoken in south China. It can therefore be inferred
that ______.
A. Chinese immigrants who emigrated to New York City many years ago are
more likely to speak several Chinese languages than are more recent
Chinese immigrants.
B. Chinese immigrants regularly change their residences between Queens
and Manhattan after they emigrate, rather than staying in one borough.
C. taken together, there are more Cantonese and Fuzhounese speakers
among Chinese immigrants in New York City than there are Mandarin
speakers.
D. people who emigrate from north China tend to settle in Queens, while
people who emigrate from south China tend to settle in Manhattan.

Question 14.
Dai Sijie’s 2000 novel Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress contains
elements drawn from Sijie’s own life—there are many parallels between the
experiences of the novel’s unnamed narrator and those of Sijie—and as a
result Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress is regularly described as an
autobiographical novel. This characterization can be useful, but it also
presents drawbacks in terms of how the work is perceived, given the high
value placed on creativity and imagination in artistic endeavors. Readers
who take this characterization to mean that Sijie merely fictionalized actual
events may conclude that ______.
Question 15.
Since the nineteenth century, Egyptologists have commonly divided ancient
Egyptian history into three primary ______ Old Kingdom (2700–2200 BCE), the
Middle Kingdom (2050–1800 BCE), and the New Kingdom (1550–1100 BCE).
Some historians, however, criticize the names of these periods for revealing

Question 27.
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
Pbact (kit 2) had a DNA yield of 15.7 ng/μL and a purity ratio of 1.6.
Pplant (kit 3) had a DNA yield of 12.5 ng/μL and a purity ratio of 1.5.

A. Due to their insufficient yield or purity, CTAB 2x and Pplant were deemed
by the researchers to be less effective than Pbact.
B. CTAB 2x and Pplant both had a DNA yield above 10 and a purity ratio
above 1.4.
C. Compared to CTAB 2x, which had a DNA yield of 2,134 ng/μL, both Pbact
and Pplant had insufficient yields; Pplant, in particular, was ineffective due to
its low yield.
D. With the ideal purity ratio being 1.8, CTAB 2x and Pbact were equal in
purity, according to the researchers.
