according to the passage, miss spivey ended up in threestep as a direct result of

talking with a woman at the wpa

her friendship with janet miller

attending college in new york city

miss chandler's retirement from teaching

the main purpose of the passage is to

argue that one way to reduce the negative environmental effects of traffic is to make driving less agreeable

provide support for the claim that efforts to reduce traffic actually increase traffic

dispute the widely held belief that building and improving mass transit systems is good for the environment

discuss the negative environmental consequences of car-focused development and suburban sprawl

which choice best supports the idea that the author assumes that, all things being equal, people would rather drive than take mass transit

lines 4-6 ("to have...overall")

lines 12-14 ("but they're...productive")

in the first paragraph, the author concedes that his recommendations are

environmentally harmful in the short term

based on the passage, how would the author most likely characterize many attempts to improve traffic

they are well intentioned but ultimately lead to environmental harm

they are doomed to fail because most people like driving too much to change their habits

they overestimate how tolerant people are of long commutes

they will only work if they make driving more economical and productive

according to the passage, reducing commuting time for drivers can have which of the following effects

drivers become more willing to live farther from their places of employment than they previously were

drivers become more productive employees than they previously were

mass transit gets extended farther into suburban areas than it previously was

mass transit carries fewer passengers and receives less government funding than it previously did

do the data in figure 1 support or weaken the argument of the author of the passage, and why

support, because the data show that reducing road capacity can lead to a net reduction in traffic

support, because the data show that merely moving drivers out of cars can induce traffic

weaken, because the data show that in some cases road alterations lead to greater traffic on surrounding roads

weaken, because the data show that traffic reductions due to road alterations tend to be brief

based on the passage, textbook authors in the early 1990s would most likely have expected which condition to result from the blocking of fast fibers

the ability to perceive vibrations would be impaired

the rate at which other nerve fibers fired would increase

the test subject would perceive gentle stimuli as painful

the body would compensate by using slow fibers to sense pressure

which conclusion is best supported by the findings of olausson's 1993 experiment

gentle pressure is sensed not only by fast fibers but also by slow fibers

stimulation at bodily extremities can be sensed as rapidly as stimulation closer to the brain

the presence of hairs in human skin lessens the speed with which nerves conduct signals

the speed at which a nerve fires is dependent on the strength of pressure applied to the nerve

the sentence in lines 34-36 ("but...mystifying ") serves mainly to

show a problem from the perspective of olausson's team

identify factors that olausson had previously failed to consider

propose a solution to a dilemma encountered by olausson

anticipate a potential criticism of olausson by the reader

it can reasonably be inferred that one of the intended goals of the 1999 experiment was to determine the

precise nature of sensations that ct fibers can convey

relationship between body hair and ct fiber function

role played by ct fibers in the perception of pain

effect of microneurography on ct fiber signaling

the main purpose of the sixth paragraph lines 50-58 is to

indicate why g.l.'s medial condition was of value to olausson's experiment

identify those of g.l.'s neurological conditions that might be relieved by the experiment

contextualize the nerve function of g.l. by comparing it with that of other adults

detail procedures that g.l. had experienced during previous experiments

according to the passage, g.l. differed from olausson's other test subjects in terms of the

number of cortices activated in the brain during gentle brushing

physical dimensions of the somatosensory cortex

intensity of nerve signals required to activate the insular cortex

effect of mri scanning on the basic function of brain cortices

according to the passage, humans experience an emotional aspect of touch when

ct fibers are exposed to a stimulus

brain cortices are shielded from nerve signals

nerve fibers that sense pain are suppressed

conscious aspects of sensation are ignored

in passage 1, beveridge asserts that the resources and immensity of the united states constitute a

divine gift to the american people

safeguard against foreign invasion

replication of conditions in europe

source of envy for people in other countries

in the second paragraph of passage 1 lines 20-31, the commands given by beveridge mainly serve to

anticipate the benefits of a proposed policy

remind the audience of its civic responsibilities

emphasize the urgency of a national problem

refute arguments that opponents have advanced

it can reasonably be inferred from passage 2 that bryan considers the preference for national sovereignty over foreign rule to be a

manifestation of an innate drive in humans toward self-rule

reaction to the excesses of imperial governments in the modern era

sign that the belief in human equality is widespread

testament to the effects of the foreign policy of the united states

in developing their respective arguments, beveridge (passage 1) and bryan (passage 2) both express admiration for the

founding and history of the united states

vibrancy and diversity of american culture

worldwide history of struggles for independence

idealism that permeates many aspects of american society

which choice best describes a central difference between how beveridge (passage 1) and bryan (passage 2) view the concept of liberty as it is realized in the united states

beveridge considers it so exemplary as to justify conquest of other regions, whereas bryan warns that its exemplary quality would be undermined by imperial expansion

beveridge presents it as the direct inheritance of european colonization, whereas bryan presents it as a sharp break from earlier governments in europe

beveridge argues that it arose organically as the united states matured, whereas bryan argues that it was present from the country's beginnings

beveridge regards it as a model that should be shared with other countries, whereas bryan believes that it is unique to the united states and could not work elsewhere

it can most reasonably be inferred from passage 2 that bryan would criticize the version of american governance of island territories that beveridge presents in passage 1 for being

naive, since the islanders would object to being governed by americans

unrealistic, since most americans would be unwilling to relocate to distant islands

deceptive, since economic domination would be the true goal of the american government

impractical, since the islanders would insist upon an equal distribution of resources

which choice from passage 2 provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question

lines 32-36 ("if it...ability")

lines 37-38 ("the filipinos...living")

lines 38-40 ("our...government")

the question in the second paragraph (lines 11-14) primarily serves to

introduce the specific research topic addressed in the passage

emphasize the provisional nature of the findings discussed in the passage

suggest the hypothetical impact of the studies analyzed in the passage

indicate the level of disagreement about the methods explored in the passage

which choice best supports the idea that seeds present in fields plowed at nights are exposed to some amount of light

lines 34-37 ("although...seeds")

lines 25-28 ("more...germination")

lines 29-30 ("although...germination")

the passage suggests that if seydel had planted wheat or corn on the two agricultural strips in hartmann's experiment, the percentage of the surface of each strip covered with weeds would likely have been

lower than the percentage than hartmann found

higher than the percentage that hartmann had predicted

nearly impossible for hartmann to determine

comparable to hartmann's original projection

after two years spent studying, miss spivey was anxious to start teaching and be in charge of her own classroom

miss spivey's initial encounter with dewey's ideas was somewhat accidental but ultimately motivated her to decisive action
