, SECTION: READING COMPREHENSION
Q1. A passage argues that urban green roofs reduce stormwater runoff and lower building energy costs, yet notes that high installation expenses limit
adoption among low-income housing developers. The author's primary purpose is most likely to:
A. Focus exclusively on aesthetic advantages of rooftop gardens
B. Advocate immediate mandatory green-roof legislation nationwide
C. Prove that green roofs have no measurable environmental value
D. Examine both environmental benefits and economic barriers to green-roof adoption
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The passage balances benefits against cost barriers, so the primary purpose is analytical examination rather than pure advocacy or dismissal.
Q2. According to a social-science passage, longitudinal data show that early childhood language exposure predicts later academic performance more
strongly than socioeconomic status alone. The passage most strongly supports which inference?
A. Interventions after age twelve are equally effective as early ones
B. Only genetic factors determine language development
C. Language-rich environments in early years contribute independently to academic outcomes
D. Socioeconomic status has no relationship to academic performance
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The stated predictive strength of early language exposure beyond SES supports an independent contribution of early linguistic environment.
Q3. A legal-history passage describes how eighteenth-century courts gradually shifted from property-based voting qualifications toward broader suffrage.
The author mentions property requirements primarily to:
A. Argue that property ownership remains the best voting criterion
B. Demonstrate that economic inequality has disappeared
C. Establish the historical baseline from which expansion of the franchise occurred
D. Show that all early democracies excluded women for identical reasons
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Property qualifications are introduced as the starting point against which later reforms are measured.
Q4. In a biology passage on keystone species, the author states that removal of sea otters led to urchin population explosions and kelp-forest collapse. This
example functions in the passage to:
A. Show that kelp has no ecological value
B. Argue against any human intervention in marine environments
C. Prove that all predators are interchangeable
D. Illustrate how loss of a single species can cascade through an ecosystem
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The otter-urchin-kelp chain exemplifies trophic cascade effects of keystone-species loss.
Q5. A philosophy passage contrasts consequentialist and deontological ethics. The author notes that consequentialism evaluates acts solely by outcomes
while deontology emphasizes duties. The contrast is drawn mainly to:
A. Clarify two competing frameworks for moral evaluation
B. Reject the possibility of ethical theory altogether
C. Argue that outcomes never matter in moral judgment
D. Endorse consequentialism as the only coherent system
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The passage sets up a comparative clarification of two major ethical approaches.
Q6. A passage on renewable energy states that although solar panel efficiency has improved, intermittency still requires storage or backup generation. The
author's attitude toward solar power is best described as:
A. Cautiously optimistic, acknowledging progress while noting remaining constraints
B. Dismissive of any practical role for solar energy
C. Unreservedly enthusiastic without qualification
D. Indifferent to technological developments
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Recognition of efficiency gains paired with intermittency limits indicates balanced, cautious optimism.

, Q7. In a passage about indigenous land-management practices, the author argues that controlled burns historically maintained ecosystem health. Modern
fire-suppression policies are criticized because they:
A. Are identical to indigenous practices
B. Have allowed fuel loads to accumulate, increasing catastrophic fire risk
C. Have no measurable ecological effects
D. Have completely eliminated all wildfires
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The critique centers on fuel accumulation and resulting severe fires under suppression regimes.
Q8. A cognitive-psychology passage reports that spaced retrieval practice improves long-term retention more than massed study. The findings most
directly challenge the assumption that:
A. Memory is entirely genetic
B. Any form of study is useless
C. Testing never aids learning
D. Cramming is as effective as distributed practice for durable learning
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Superior retention from spaced practice contradicts the efficacy of pure massed cramming for long-term memory.
Q9. A passage on corporate governance asserts that independent board majorities correlate with better financial disclosure. The author cites this correlation
primarily to:
A. Show that financial disclosure is irrelevant
B. Prove that independence guarantees ethical behavior in all cases
C. Support the claim that board structure influences transparency practices
D. Argue that shareholders should never vote
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correlation is offered as evidence linking board independence to disclosure quality.
Q10. According to an economics passage, congestion pricing reduces peak-hour traffic by making drivers internalize delay costs. Opponents argue it
unfairly burdens low-income commuters. The passage author responds by noting that:
A. Congestion is never a real problem
B. Only wealthy drivers should be allowed on roads
C. Pricing has no effect on traffic volume
D. Revenue can be rebated or used to improve transit alternatives for affected groups
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The author addresses equity concerns by pointing to compensatory use of revenues.
Q11. A literary-criticism passage analyzes a novel's unreliable narrator. The narrator's contradictions are said to force readers to construct the true sequence
of events. This technique most nearly serves to:
A. Eliminate all ambiguity in the text
B. Engage readers as active interpreters rather than passive recipients
C. Prove that narrators are always trustworthy
D. Simplify the plot for casual readers
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Unreliability shifts interpretive labor onto the reader, creating active engagement.
Q12. A public-health passage links neighborhood walkability to lower rates of cardiovascular disease. After controlling for income and education, the
association persists. The residual association suggests that:
A. Built-environment features may influence health independently of socioeconomic factors
B. Exercise has no health benefits
C. Walkability is merely a proxy for wealth
D. Only income determines cardiovascular risk
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Persistence after controls implies an independent pathway from walkability to health outcomes.
