SECTION 1: READING (22 questions)
Passage 1 (Questions 1–4)
The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and cellular waste
products throughout the body. The heart, blood vessels, and blood are the primary
components. In pulmonary circulation, deoxygenated blood moves from the heart
to the lungs; in systemic circulation, oxygenated blood flows to the rest of the body.
1. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To compare pulmonary and systemic circulation
B. To describe the function and components of the circulatory system
C. To explain how hormones are transported
D. To argue for heart-healthy lifestyles
Correct Answer: B – Rationale: The passage provides an overview of the
circulatory system’s role and components, not a comparison (A) or argument (D).
C is too narrow.
2. Based on the passage, which statement is true?
A. Systemic circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
B. Pulmonary circulation occurs only in the heart.
C. Oxygenated blood travels through systemic circulation.
D. Waste products are removed only in the lungs.
Correct Answer: C – Rationale: The passage states systemic circulation carries
oxygenated blood to the body. A describes pulmonary circulation; B is false; D is
incorrect (waste is removed by kidneys, etc.).
,3. The word "primary" in the first sentence most nearly means:
A. Secondary
B. Unimportant
C. Main
D. Initial
Correct Answer: C – Rationale: “Primary” here means chief or most important.
“Initial” (D) refers to time, not importance.
4. Which of the following is an implicit assumption of the passage?
A. The heart has four chambers.
B. The reader knows basic anatomy terms like “oxygenated.”
C. Pulmonary circulation is more important than systemic.
D. Hormones are only transported by blood.
Correct Answer: B – Rationale: The author assumes the reader understands terms
like “oxygenated blood” without defining them. A is not implied; C and D are
false.
Passage 2 (Questions 5–8)
*In a 2023 study, researchers found that students who used active recall (self-
testing) scored 22% higher on final exams than those who only re-read notes. The
study followed 200 college students over one semester.*
5. The study design described is:
A. Case study
B. Comparative experimental study
C. Correlational study
D. Longitudinal naturalistic observation
Correct Answer: B – Rationale: Two groups were compared (active recall vs. re-
reading). It is experimental because a method was assigned, not just observed.
6. Which question is unanswered by the passage?
A. How many students participated?
B. What was the exact difference in scores?
C. Was the study peer-reviewed?
D. Over what period did the study occur?
Correct Answer: C – Rationale: Peer review status is not mentioned. The passage
gives the % difference (22%) and period (one semester), and number (200).
, 7. The author’s tone is best described as:
A. Skeptical
B. Persuasive
C. Neutral / Informative
D. Humorous
Correct Answer: C – Rationale: The passage states facts without opinion or
attempt to persuade.
8. If the study were repeated with high school students, the results would
likely be:
A. Exactly the same
B. Opposite
C. Similar, but not identical
D. Impossible to predict
Correct Answer: C – Rationale: Learning principles often generalize but effect
size may vary by age group.
Questions 9–22 (Short passages or standalone)
9. Which of the following is a primary source?
A. A textbook on World War II
B. A diary written by a soldier during WWII
C. A documentary made in 2020 about WWII
D. An encyclopedia entry on WWII
Correct Answer: B – Rationale: Primary sources are firsthand accounts from the
time period.
10. In the word “unpredictable,” the prefix “un-” means:
A. Again
B. Before
C. Not
D. Very
Correct Answer: C – Rationale: “Un-” is a negative prefix meaning “not.”
11. A patient education sheet states: “Take medication with food to avoid
stomach upset.” The implied meaning is:
A. The medication tastes bad.
B. Stomach upset may occur if taken on an empty stomach.
