Q1. A passage describes how urban planners in the early twentieth century designed cities around streetcars, only later adapting
those same corridors for automobiles. The author notes that many modern traffic problems stem from this layered history.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. explain how historical transportation decisions continue to shape present-day urban challenges
B. compare the speed of streetcars with that of modern cars
C. argue that streetcars should be restored in every major city
D. criticize early planners for failing to anticipate automobile use
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
The passage links past design choices to current problems, showing continuity rather than advocating a single policy or offering a pure technical
comparison.
Q2. In a science passage, researchers report that certain coral species bleach more rapidly when water temperature rises only
one degree above the local summer maximum. The author then discusses genetic differences among the corals. The
findings primarily support the claim that
A. coral bleaching is caused exclusively by pollution
B. small temperature increases can produce large biological effects in sensitive species
C. genetic differences among corals are unrelated to thermal tolerance
D. all coral species respond identically to temperature stress
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The key result is the rapid bleaching response to a modest temperature increase, which directly illustrates high sensitivity in those species.
Q3. A literary excerpt portrays a character who repeatedly rearranges furniture in an empty room while avoiding a letter that has
arrived that morning. The repeated action most likely functions to
A. suggest the character’s anxiety and reluctance to confront the letter’s contents
B. demonstrate the character’s interest in interior design
C. establish that the room is poorly furnished
D. indicate that the character is expecting guests
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
The purposeless activity paired with avoidance of the letter signals internal conflict and reluctance rather than literal interest in furniture.
Q4. A social-science passage presents data showing that communities with higher rates of library card ownership also report
higher rates of voter participation. The author cautions that the relationship does not prove causation. This caution primarily
serves to
A. argue that libraries should stop issuing cards
B. dismiss the value of the data entirely
C. claim that voting rates determine library use
D. remind readers that correlation alone does not establish a causal link
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
The explicit warning about causation is a standard scholarly move to prevent over-interpretation of correlational findings.
