  • Q #1: But man is not destined to vanish. He can be killed, but he cannot be destroyed, because his soul is deathless and his spirit is irrepressible. Therefore, though the situation seems dark in the context of the confrontation between the superpowers, the silver lining is provided by amazing phenomenon that the very nations which have spent incalculable resources and energy for the production of deadly weapons are desperately trying to find out how they might never be used. They threaten each other, intimidate each other and go to the brink, but before the total hour arrives they withdraw from the brink.   In the author's opinion _________________

    A. huge stockpiles of destructive weapons have so far saved mankind from a catastrophe

    B. superpowers have at last realized the need for abandoning the production of lethal weapons

    C. mankind is heading towards complete destruction

    D. nations in possession of huge stockpiles of lethal weapons are trying hard to avoid actual conflict

    Answer Explanation

    This is supported by the statements in the passage that: nations which have spent incalculable resources and energy for the production of deadly weapons are desperately trying to find out how they might never be used. They threaten each other, intimidate each other and go to the brink, but before the total hour arrives they withdraw from the brink.

  • Q #2: Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a millimeter of the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the surface water. Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the wind mixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of this phenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water, which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicated phenomenon. When waves are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts of energy-energy, which is consequently not available for the production of turbulence.   This passage principally intends to:

    A. resolve a controversy

    B. attempt a description at a phenomenon

    C. sketch a theory

    D. reinforce certain research findings

    Answer Explanation

    The author attempts to describe the phenomenon of disequilibrium at the interface of air and water as a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends.

  • Q #3: Sonja,I think it's time for us to open a new location. We've been talking about doing it forever and I'm afraid that if we don't do it now, we'll never do it. I know it's a risky move, but the only way our business is going to grow is if we take calculated risks. Business has never been better, and our focus group data shows that people in Springdale would love to have one of our stores in their mall. If we do this right, we can be twice as profitable as we are now in three years. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Gabriela PS: We can even announce the expansion after that Channel 4 puff piece airs to take advantage of the attention we'll be getting!   Which of the following best captures the author's purpose?

    A. revitalize a struggling business by opening a second location

    B. improve a successful business by opening a second location

    C. position herself as a more powerful leader than Gabriela

    D. convince a colleague that they should do more research on where to open a second location

    Answer Explanation

    The author writes to her business partner convincing her to expand the business. She encourages her to take calculated risks and take advantage of an opportunity to advertise on Channel 4 after the puff piece airs.
