  • Q #1: Dear Aunt Suzanne, I have a few minutes before I get on the bus from Galway back to Dublin and wanted to tell you how my class trip to Ireland is going. We just spent 2 days on Inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands, which are just off the central west coast of Ireland. We took a ferry from Galway, a ride that takes about an hour and was quite gray and stormy. For an island that is only about 12 square miles, there is a lot to do and see on this Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products are sold. The Aran Islands are known for their wool because sheep thrive here and generations have used woolen sweaters and hats to survive long cold days of fishing on the open sea. In fact, I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The healthy pattern is an interesting combination of twists and braids and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful example. The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient rums, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as the “wormhole,” a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves and looks like houses of a terrible serpent. The wormhole will be difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only spoke Galect. Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier fame. Which of the following additional sources would have a comparable theme to the passage?

    A. An instructional book on knitting

    B. An essay about Irish agriculture

    C. A journal entry about Dublin’s food and weather

    D. A postcard sent from the Aran islands

    Answer Explanation

    A postcard from Aran Islands would have a comparable theme since the passage is about a trip to Ireland but more specifically, Aran Islands.

  • Q #5: A day with Humpbacks I sat on the deadlands of Neah Bay, Washington, and watch a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters. I recognize this effluence by her distinctive tall patterns, as unique to this humpback, as my fingerprints are to me. Once, heavy hunting using harpoons extirpated populations of humpbacks to recover. As this gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20 feet high. She rolls on her side and lifts her scalloped edge flipper in salute the slaps it on the water. I adjust my lens and take shot. This is the only type of whale hunting I find acceptable – hunting with a camera. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?

    A. In the passage, the water argues the benefits of photographing whales to enable their identification

    B. In the passage, the writer argues that beluga whales are so endangered, you should only hunt them with your camera.

    C. In the passage, the writer describes taking many photographs as the whale frolics in the icy Pacific Ocean

    D. In the passage, the writer describes the whale surfacing, exhaling, and slapping her flipper on the water.

    Answer Explanation

    This is supported by the statements: “I watch a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters.” and “As this gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20 feet high. She rolls on her side and lifts her scalloped edge flipper in salute the slaps it on the water.”

  • Q #6: On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday Groundhog Day, a day of hope that winter is over and spring is beginning. The tradition has been officially observed in the US since the 1800s and is believed to have developed from European folk traditions in which a bear, fox, badger, or even hedgehog would serve as the symbolic metrologist. Although other cultures and towns observe Groundhog Day (or something similar) the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania takes special pride in being home to the one true forecasting, the groundhog, Punxsutawney Grounding Club to perpetuate the joyful rituals and events surrounding Groundhog Day. Over the years, these rituals and events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball. Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather-forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow. If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come and Punxsutawney Phil goes back to bed. However, if he does not see his shadow, Punxsutawney Phil takes this as a sign that spring has arrived and he remains above ground. Of course, common sense tells us that February 2 is too early for spring to begin and that while animals may be attuned to various elements of nature from which humans might learn, they are unlikely to act on their instincts based on a schedule set by the Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, a visit to Pennsylvania to the Punxsutawney Phil and all the fun inspires each year might provide the loath of hope needed to reach the end of winter. What source would be most useful in determining reliability of Punxsutawney Phil’s predictions over a number of years?

    A. A historical survey of customs in Pennsylvania

    B. An encyclopedia entry on mammals in the northeast U.S

    C. A record of weather patterns in the last decade

    D. A memoir from a member of the Groundhog Club

    Answer Explanation

    Weather patterns in the last decade would determine the reliability of the predictions of the symbolic metrology of the Groundhog’s day.

  • Q #8: What is all this of cicadas lately in the United States? You might be wondering why the media has featured it. but in fact. the discussion about cicadas has emerged about as predictably as the cicadas themselves from their underground refuge. Let's get oriented with some background on cicadas. A typical definition would describe the cicada as a large, noisy insect with long, transparent wings, predominantly found in warm regions. Going into greater detail, cicadas can be recognized by their short antennae and prominent wide-set eyes. They possess delicate, translucent wings, and their characteristic feature is their loudness. Among the animal kingdom, few creatures produce a more intense sound. Specifically, it's the male cicadas that create the cacophonous buzz, generating noise levels ranging from 80 to 100 decibels, akin to the roar of a powerful engine. This is achieved through the male cicadas' unique ability to produce a strident, high-pitched sound by vibrating two membranes on their abdomen known as tymbals, effectively turning their bodies into echo chambers or drums. In contrast, female cicadas cannot replicate this buzzing but respond with a distinctive clicking sound when they are ready to mate. Although there are several species of cicada, mating typically takes place in trees wherever the female deposits the eggs into the bank. When the eggs hatch, the larval cicadas, called nymphs, drop to the ground and burrow. They then live as nymphs for most of their lives over 6 feet underground with both male and female cicadas dying within weeks of their emergence from the soil. This is particularly true for North American cicadas especially the mogucicada.   Which of the following words does the author use to express a derogatory tone?

    A. Noisy

    B. Delicate

    C. Predictable

    D. Roar

    Answer Explanation

    Noisy - the term noisy expresses a low opinion about the cicadas

  • Q #9: In 1943, the war in the Pacific raged on. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt went to rally the troops’ spirits, despite the disapproval of military command. Roosevelt planned a grueling itinerary. She visited several islands and hundreds of wounded in her first 6 days. The indefatigable First Lady inspected Navy hospitals, delivered a speech, attended receptions, and visited convalescing officers, all within 12 hours of her arrival. She lifted spirits among the wounded and morale among the troops. She continued her exhausting tour for a month, speaking to every patient in troop hospitals and taking down addresses to contact family members. Roosevelt traveled non-stop, risked her life, and greeted the last patient she saw with the same heartfelt sincerity as the first. Which of the following publications would have a different point of view of Eleanor Roosevelt compared to the author’s point of view?

    A. A personal memoir from an injured naval officer who fought in the pacific theater

    B. A brochure about women’s contributions to the U.S war effort

    C. A newspaper clipping from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in 1994

    D. A historical Japanese military document outlining how to damage enemy morale

    Answer Explanation

    This is because this publication would be about damaging enemy morale while Roosevelt was all about rallying the troops’ spirits.
