3 The number of members each state has in the Electoral College depends on its population. A state with a large population has more votes than a state with a small population. For example, California has 55 votes while Alaska has 3. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote wins all of that state’s electoral votes. A candidate must receive a majority of the electoral votes to become the next president. How many electoral votes is enough to win? In recent elections, candidates have had to earn at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win. In most states the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote

wins that state's electoral votes.

does not become the next president.

Causes Of An Asthma Attack 9 Environmental exposures, such as house dust mites and environmental tobacco smoke, are important triggers of an attack. Important Asthma Triggers - Environmental Tobacco Smoke, Also Known As Secondhand Smoke 14 Parents, friends, and relatives of children with asthma should try to stop smoking. Until they can successfully quit, they should smoke only outdoors, not in the home or in the family car. They should not allow others to smoke in the home, and should make sure the child's school is smoke-free. Dust Mites 15 Mattress covers and pillow case covers provide a barrier between house dust mites and the person with asthma. Down-filled pillows, quilts, or comforters should not be used and stuffed animals and clutter should be removed from bedrooms. Outdoor Air Pollution 16 Pollution caused by industrial emissions and automobile exhaust can cause an asthma episode. In large cities that have air pollution problems the number of emergency department visits for asthma episodes goes up when the air quality is very poor. Pets 18 Furry pets may trigger an attack. The simplest solution to this situation is to find another home for the pet. However, some pet owners may be too attached to their pets or unable to locate a safe new home for the animal. Any animal causing an allergic reaction should not be allowed in the bedroom. Pets should be kept outside as much as possible and bathed weekly. People with asthma are not allergic to their pet’s fur, so trimming the pet’s fur will not help your asthma. Frequent vacuuming will reduce the presence of the allergen. If the room has a hard surface floor, it should be damp mopped weekly. Mold 19 When mold is inhaled, it can cause asthma attacks. Eliminating mold throughout the home can help control asthma attacks. Keep humidity levels between 35% and 50%. In hot, humid climates, this may require the use of air conditioning and/or dehumidifiers. Fixing water leaks and cleaning up any mold in the home can also help. If one were researching asthma triggers, which of the choices is a conclusion that can be supported by this passage?

You can improve the environment by not allowing smoking in the house or car, keeping the humidity low to prevent mold growth and bathing pets weekly to reduce allergens.

Asthma's effects are often exaggerated, so care should be taken not to worry over asthmatic symptoms.

People with asthma should move to someplace with low humidity and no pollution.

You can control the environment by lobbying against smoking in your city, keeping pets from your neighborhood and preventing pollution by limiting when people can drive.

You cannot improve the environment for someone who suffers from asthma.

How Asthma Is Diagnosed 4 Asthma can be difficult to diagnose, especially in children under 5 years old. Regular physical exams that include checks of lung function and for allergies can help make the right diagnosis. 5 A health-care provider trying to diagnose asthma will ask you questions about coughing, especially coughing at night, and whether breathing problems are worse after physical activity or during a particular time of year. Providers also ask about other symptoms, such as chest tightness, wheezing, and colds that last more than 10 days. 6 Also, a provider will ask about your family history of asthma, allergy and other breathing problems, and your home environment. He or she also will ask about lost school or work days and limits on your activity. 7 Testing of lung function, called spirometry, is another way to diagnose asthma. A spirometer is a piece of equipment that measures the largest amount of air you can exhale after taking a very deep breath. Airflow can be measured before and after you use an asthma medication. If one were researching how asthma is diagnosed, which of the choices is a conclusion that can be supported by this passage?

Lung function, coughing and family history are important factors in diagnosing asthma, and regular physical exams are important, too.

Family history is not a factor in the development of asthma because there is no evidence for a genetic link.

Patients with the following symptoms, chest tightness, wheezing, and colds that last more than 10 days, definitely have asthma.

People with asthma should buy a spirometer so they can check for chest tightness, wheezing and colds that last for more than 10 days.

You cannot diagnose asthma in children under five years old. Their parents need to bring them back in two years.

2 When weekly shipments of coffee beans arrive, you will need to use the ladder to place them on the shelves in the stockroom. Take the ladder from its place on the wall and stand it so that it clicks open. This sound tells you it is securely locked. Never climb on the shelves or stand on an old shipping crate to restock the shelves. If you feel fatigued while restocking, ask another employee for help. A person at ground level can pass the bags of beans to the employee on the ladder. Make sure the bags are pushed to the back of the shelves to prevent them from falling off. Check the bags for damage and relay any problems to your manager. This will assure that our customers receive the freshest, tastiest coffee in the region. Which is NOT an important thing to remember when stocking coffee beans?

to put the bags of coffee near the front, so they can easily be reached

make sure the ladder clicks open before using it

to refrain from climbing on the shelves

3 In the seating area, customers sometimes spill their coffee. You can prevent this small incident from turning into a safety issue by responding to any accidental spills promptly. Label the area with a “Wet Floor” sign while you find a mop in the back room. This prevents customers who are unaware of the spill from slipping on the wet surface. While cleaning the floor, you can ask another employee to replace the spilled drink for the customer. According to the directions in the passage

coffee spills are an important safety issue

customers should help clean up their spills

customers shouldn't be allowed to drink coffee

slipping on the floor is annoying, but usually doesn't cause serious injury

spills need not be attended to immediately as long as you leave a sign

3 I disagree with the argument that tutoring can take place during “non-essential” classes. To begin with, I strongly resist the label “non-essential.” Education is more than the ability to pass a standardized test; indeed, it is more than the acquisition of knowledge. I believe that education is deeply, intimately concerned with the development of the human person. Students who do not experience the thrill of performing in front of a live audience, the joy of creating poetry, or the satisfaction of strenuous athletic training have been poorly served by the public school system. According to the editorial, what would happen if schools took away non-essential classes?

Students would miss out on receiving a well-rounded education.

Students would lose their break from the boredom of traditional classes.

Students would perform better on standardized tests.

Students would perform more poorly on standardized tests.

Students would save both the district and taxpayers a lot of money.

"4 I am talking about this past season. Some were wonderfully entertaining, such as "The Fabulous Fifties," the "Fred Astaire Show" and the "Bing Crosby Special"; some were dramatic and moving, such as Conrad's "Victory" and "Twilight Zone"; some were marvelously informative, such as "The Nation's Future," "CBS Reports," and "The Valiant Years." I could list many more—programs that I am sure everyone here felt enriched his own life and that of his family. When television is good, nothing—not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers—nothing is better." 5 But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit-and-loss sheet, or rating book to distract you—and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. 6 You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence and cartoons. And, endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And, most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it." Section four and section six

contrast shows that the speaker considers worthwhile with shows he considers a waste of time.

contrast past television shows with current television shows.

compare news and informative television shows with comedy and entertaining television shows.

compare television advertisements with newspaper advertisements.

combines the highlights of past television and current newspapers.

"1 Newton Minow (1926— ) was appointed by President John Kennedy as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, the agency responsible for regulating the use of the public airwaves. On May 9, 1961, he spoke to 2,000 members of the National Association of Broadcasters and told them that the daily fare on television was "a vast wasteland." Minow's indictment of commercial television launched a national debate about the quality of programming. After Minow's speech, the television critic for The New York Times wrote: "Tonight some broadcasters were trying to find dark explanations for Mr. Minow's attitude. In this matter the viewer possibly can be a little helpful; Mr. Minow has been watching television."" Which BEST describes the purpose of the first section of this passage?

It provides background information for context, so the reader can better understand the speech.

It creates a conversational tone, so the reader can better understand the speech.

It creates a question and answer format, so the reader will know what style to expect from the rest of the passage.

It lets the reader know that the speech was not received well.

It provides a counter-argument, so the reader can better comprehend the speech.
