Q #1: Letter from the chair of Elkinsiville society Many of you have heard about the proposed northward expansion of the Interstate, which currently ends just south of Elkinsiville. In the recent debate over how it this work go forward, the focus has been on weighing economic costs and benefits. Indeed, many local politicians claim to favor the project because it will bring jobs in the short term and more visitors to Elkinsiville in the long term. These politicians also argue that the proposed plan is the least environmentally damaging way to expand the highway farther upstate. This cannot be true, however, since the proposed expansion involves not just the widening of existing roads, but also the construction of more than a dozen miles of new-terrain highway.

C. A flyer in the bulletin board at the Elkinsiville City Hall

Q #2: Beard Superiority Unlike most others who follow along with popular trends, I am able to truly see that the beard is superior to the mustache. First, you have so much more hair and space to work with when styling a beard than you do with a mustache. You can trim and cut a beard into so many styles, the Muttonchop, the Goatee, the Stubble, the Chin Strap. You can even add things to your beard, braids, beads, glitter, and color- the possibilities of what you can add to a beard are endless. There are even professional competitions that surround the stylish nature of beards. Which of the following can be inferred from the evidence given in the passage?  

A. The writer is a professional barber

B. Mustaches cannot easily be styled

C. The writer enjoys having a beard

D. No competitions exist for the best mustache

Answer Explanation

This choice can be inferred from the passage as the writer expresses a positive opinion about beards, highlighting various ways they can be styled and decorated.The passage suggests that the writer finds beards superior and appreciates their versatility and styling options, which implies an enjoyment of having a beard.

The other choices are not supported by the evidence in the passage.
Q #3: 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.
