MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Michelene Pesantubbee,a historian and citizen of the  Choctaw Nation,has identified a dilemma inherent to research on the status of women in her tribe during the 1600s and 1700s:the primary sources  from  that  era,travel  narratives  and  other  accounts  by  male  European  colonizers, underestimate the degree of power conferred on Choctaw women by their traditional roles in political,civic,and  ceremonial  life.Pesantubbee  argues  that  the  Choctaw  oral  tradition  and findings  from  archaeological  sites  in  the  tribe's  homeland  supplement  the  written  record  by providing crucial insights into those roles.

 

Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?

A. It details  the   shortcomings  of  certain  historical   sources,then   argues  that  research   should avoid those sources altogether.

B. It describes a problem that arises in research on a particular topic,then sketches a historian's approach to addressing that problem.

 C. It lists  the  advantages  of  a   particular  research  method,then  acknowledges  a  historian's criticism of that method.

D. It characterizes  a  particular  topic  as  especially  challenging  to  research,then  suggests  a related topic for historians to pursue instead.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Many archaeologists assume that large-scale engineering projects in ancient societies required an elite  class  to  plan  and  direct  the  necessary  labor.However,recent  discoveries,such  as  the excavation of an ancient canal near the Gulf Coast of Alabama,have complicated this picture. Using radiocarbon dating,a team of researchers concluded that the 1.39-kilometer-long canal was most likely constructed between 576 and 650 CE by an Indigenous society that was relatively free of social classes.

 

Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?

A. t presents contradictory conclusions drawn by archaeologists,then evaluates a study that has apparently resolved that contradiction.

B. It describes  a  common  view  among  archaeologists,then  discusses  a  recent  finding  that challenges that view.

C. It outlines a method used in some archaeological fieldwork,then explains why an alternative method is superior to it.

D. It identifies a gap in scientific research,then presents a strategy used by some archaeologists to remedy that gap.

In  1973,poet  Miguel  Algarín  started  inviting  other  writers  who,like  him,were  Nuyorican—a  term  for New Yorkers  of Puerto  Rican  heritage—to  gather  in  his  apartment  to  present  their  work.The gatherings  were  so  well  attended  that  Algarin  soon  had  to  rent  space  in  a  cafe  to  accommodate them.Thus,the  Nuyorican  Poets   Cafe  was  born.Moving  to   a  permanent   location   in   1981,the Nuyorican Poets Cafe expanded its original  scope beyond the written word,hosting art exhibitions and   musical   performances   as   well.Half   a   century   since   its   inception,it   continues   to   foster emerging  Nuyorican  talent.

The following text is adapted from Oscar Wilde's  1897 nonfiction work De Profundis.

 

People  whose  desire  is   solely  for   self-realisation  never  know  where  they  are  going.They  can't know.In  one   sense  of  the   word   it   is   of  course  necessary  to  know   oneself:that  is  the  irst achievement  of knowledge.But  to recognise that the  soul  of a  man  is  unknowable,is  the  ultimate achievement  of  wisdom.The   final  mystery   is  oneself.When  one  has  weighed  the  sun  in  the balance,and measured the  steps  of the moon,and mapped  out the  seven  heavens  star by  star,there still  remains  oneself. Who  can calculate the orbit of his  own soul?

 

Which choice best describes the function of the underlined question in the text as a whole?

A. It  cautions  readers  that  the  text's   directions   for  how  to   achieve   self-knowledge  are  hard  to follow.

B. It  concedes  that  the  definition  of  self-knowledge  advanced  in  the  text  is  unpopular.

C. It reinforces  the  text's  skepticism  about  the  possibility  of  truly  achieving  self-knowledge.

D. It speculates  that  some  readers  will  share  the  doubts  expressed  in  the  text  about  the  value  of self-knowledge.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Horizontal  gene  transfer  occurs  when  an  organism  of  one  species  acquires  genetic  material  from an  organism  of  another  species  through  nonreproductive  means.The  genetic  material  can  then  be transferred “vertically”in the  second  species—that  is,through reproductive  inheritance.Scientist Atma  Ivancevic  and  her  team  have  hypothesized  infection  by  invertebrate  parasites  as  a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer between vertebrate species: while feeding,a parasite could acquire  a  gene  from  one  host,then  relocate  to  a  host  from  a  different  vertebrate  species  and transfer the gene to it in turn.

 

Which choice best describes the function of the underlined portion in the text as a whole?

A. It  explains why parasites are less susceptible to horizontal gene transfer than their hosts are.

B. clarifies why some genes are more likely to be transferred horizontally than others are.

C. contrasts how horizontal gene transfer occurs among vertebrates with how it occurs among Invertebrates.

D.describes a means by which horizontal gene transfer might occur among vertebrates.

Using  NASA's  powerful  James  Webb  Space  Telescope(JWST),Mercedes  López-Morales  and colleagues measured the wavelengths of light traveling through the atmosphere of WASP-39b,an exoplanet,or planet outside our solar system.Different molecules absorb different wavelengths of light,and   the   wavelength   measurements   showed   the   presence   of   carbon   dioxide(CO₂)in WASP-39b's atmosphere.This finding not only offers the first decisive evidence of CO₂in the atmosphere of an exoplanet but also illustrates the potential for future scientific breakthroughs held by the JWST.

 

Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?

A. It  outlines the steps taken in a scientific study,then presents a hypothesis based on that study.

B. It discusses  a  method  used  by  some  researchers, then  states  why  an  alternative  method  is superior to it.

 C. It examines how a group of scientists reached a conclusion,then shows how other scientists have challenged that conclusion.

D. It describes how researchers made a scientific discovery,then explains the importance of that discovery.
