Q #1: 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. The wind over the ocean usually does which of the following according to the given passage I. Leads to cool, dry air coming in proximity with the ocean surface. II. Maintains a steady rate of heat and moisture transfer between the ocean and the air. III. Results in frequent changes in the ocean surface temperature.
A. I only
B. II only
C. I and II only
D. I, II, and III
Answer Explanation
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.

Q #7: Technology is rapidly expanding the scope of capabilities for both professional and personal use; such is the case with smart phones. Professionals now have devices available to them capable of digital media, internet access, phone communication, multi-person scheduling and office tools for documents and presentations. Business people that are often mobile may maximize the use of these critical features on smart phones. Individuals who simply enjoy the luxury of multi-function devices often use these devices for frivolous pursuits such as downloading catchy ring tones, instant messaging about the latest gossip and looking up the world record for most cans crushed on one's head during the Superbowl. This fusion of capabilities and increased availability of such devices could be a sign of a growing blend in society between work and personal life, or individuals could simply be taking a luxurious approach to their connectivity in personal lives. The term "frivolous" implies that the author _____________
A. acknowledges the diverse uses of smart phones
B. questions the balance between productive and leisure uses of technology
C. recognizes the ubiquity of smart phone ownership
D. acknowledges the constant evolution of smart phone technology
Answer Explanation
In the passage, the term "frivolous" is used to describe activities like downloading catchy ringtones, instant messaging about gossip, and looking up unusual world records on smartphones. These activities are considered less serious or less productive in contrast to the professional uses of smartphones, such as digital media, internet access, and office tools.
Choice B aligns with the idea that the author is raising questions about the balance between productive (work-related) and leisure (personal) uses of technology, which indirectly addresses the concept of "frivolous" in the context of smartphone usage.

Q #8: Mahatma Ghandi was an inspirational leader who made a lot of sacrifices for the people of India. In 1921, Gandhi took charge of the Indian National Congress, a group of thirteen men in the Indian government who fought discrimination and unfair taxation against farmers and urban laborers. Using the nonviolent tactic of civil disobedience, Gandhi and his followers bravely resisted British control over Indian life, choosing not to follow unfair, discriminatory laws and policies. The British were not happy to see Ghandi and his followers rebelling in this way. The British responded to this resistance by strengthening their military presence in India, often at the cost of human lives. While Ghandi was fighting to gain more freedom for the people of India, the British government was, often violently, suppressing it. For his effort, Gandhi was eventually imprisoned in 1942 for his "radical" beliefs, but he refused to recognize violence as a means of fighting the British. He gained international attention for his hunger strikes, refusing to eat until the British changed their unjust policies. Which of the following is an opinion stated in the passage?
A. the British government's increased military presence in India led to the loss of life
B. Gandhi bravely employed nonviolent civil disobedience to rebel against Britain's unfair discrimination against the Indian people
C. Gandhi was well-known internationally for his hunger strikes
D. Gandhi took charge of the Indian National Congress in 1921
Answer Explanation
The author expresses his/her opinion by using the adverb bravely to describe Gandhi’s actions.

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! Based on the tone of the memo above, which of the following best describes Sonja and Gabriela's relationship?
A. Gabriela is Sonja's boss
B. Sonja is Gabriela's boss
C. Sonja and Gabriela work in the Human Resources Department together
D. Sonja and Gabriela run the business together

Q #10: Many teachers across the country are noticing the importance of film in the modern classroom. No longer is putting a movie on meant as an invitation for students to check out while the teacher does work at their desk. Films are a versatile medium, and can function as textbooks, pieces of literature, or pieces of art that can bring a new dimension to a student's learning. The teachers leading this charge know that teaching a film effectively means preparing lessons with the same amount of time and effort as any other days. A teacher could simply shut the lights and throw on the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" because the class is studying World War II. Or, the teacher could spend a class period analyzing the scene with the class, looking at how Spielberg builds anxiety and tension, how he creates the chaos of the beach, and how he gets the audience to care for characters they haven't even met yet. Which of the following sentences would be a supporting detail to explain how "Saving Private Ryan" could be used in the classroom?
A. learning to analyze a film in this way can not only help students get more out of their viewing, but it can also help them work on their critical thinking skills
B. just putting "Saving Private Ryan" on the screen and then getting work done in the back of the room is not a helpful way to use a film in class
C. too many teachers are stuck in their ways, though, and unwilling to adapt.
D. "Jaws" would also be a good movie that a teacher could use in the classroom
Answer Explanation
Learning to analyze a film in this way can not only help students get more out of their viewing, but it can also help them work on their critical thinking skills
