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 a logical conclusion based on the passage?

A. Gandhi was brave, but ultimately unsuccessful in his pursuits

B. the British changed their unjust policies

C. in Gandhi's mind, civil disobedience means only using violence as a last resort

D. Gandhi's followers were fiercely loyal and stood by their leader at all times

Answer Explanation:

It can be inferred that the British changed their unjust ways since Gandhi gained international attention for his hunger strike until the British changed their unjust policies.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

  • Q #2: Swimming has developed from a primal mode of movement to an advanced hobby and competitive sport. Exercising nearly every muscle group, swimming is a rigorous sport and requires intense training. In competitions swimmers typically contend for the fastest time to complete a certain distance by performing a specific swimming stroke. Also, swimmers work to build endurance and an ability to swim over long distances. Because swimming has developed into a highly intricate competitive sport, where one wrong technique can disqualify a participant, it is interesting to ponder how the sport will evolve for people in the future, either advancing into a progressive purpose or regressing to a primal mode of movement.   The structure of this passage could be best described in what way?

    A. an activity narrowed to a specific purpose and expanded to consider future implications

    B. an activity narrowed to a specific purpose and expanded to consider future deviations

    C. a hypothesis tested against certain conditions, developed into a larger thesis

    D. a supposition regarding the prospect of an activity, analyzed for viability

    Answer Explanation

    The paragraph begins by describing swimming and its evolution from a primal mode of movement to its development into an intricate competitive sport. The paragraph then expands to consider future deviations of whether swimming will advance into a progressive purpose or regressing to a primal mode of movement.

  • Q #3: 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.
