Question
In a set of four consecutive even integers ordered from greatest to least, the first integer is represented by y. The product of 5 and the third even integer is at most 15 less than the sum of the second and fourth even integers. Which inequality represents this situation?
| A. 5(y − 3) ≥ 15 − ((y − 2) + (y − 4) | |
| B. 5(y − 3) ≤ (y − 2) + (y − 4) − 15 | |
| C. 5(y − 4) ≥ 15 − ((y − 2) + (y − 6)) | |
| D. 5(y − 4) ≤ (y − 2) + (y − 6) − 15 |
Write expressions for each of the four consecutive even integers in terms of the greatest integer y.
Explanation
It is given that in a set of four consecutive even integers ordered from greatest to least, the first integer is represented by y.
Integers alternate between even and odd, so the second even integer is 2 less than the first, the third even integer is 2 less than the second, and the fourth even integer is 2 less than the third.
Now use the expressions for the integers to write an inequality that represents the given condition.
Therefore, the inequality that represents the situation is 5(y − 4) ≤ (y − 2) + (y − 6) − 15.
(Choice A) This choice represents the combination of errors described in Choices B and C.
(Choice B) This choice results from using a set of consecutive, instead of consecutive even, integers.
(Choice C) This choice represents the situation in which the product of 5 and the third even integer is at least (instead of at most) 15 minus (instead of 15 less than) the sum of the second and fourth integers.
Things to remember:
The phrase "at most" translates to a less than or equal to sign, and the phrase "at least" translates to a greater than or equal to sign:
- If a is at most b, then a ≤ b.
- If a is at least b, then a ≥ b.
Question
Which of the following is equal to the expression above?
| A. | |
| B. | |
| C. | |
| D. |
To add fractions, first rewrite them with a common denominator.
Explanation
The given expression is the sum of two fractions with different denominators. To add or subtract fractions, rewrite them with a common denominator.
The least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions is the smallest expression that each denominator divides into evenly. To find the LCD of the given expression, first factor x² − 25 and x² + 5x − 50.
The highest power of each factor in the denominators is (x − 5)1, (x + 5)1, and (x + 10)1. Therefore, the LCD is (x − 5)(x + 5)(x + 10).
Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction so that each denominator is (x − 5)(x + 5)(x + 10), and then add the fractions.
Now distribute 5 to each term in (x + 10) and 10 to each term in (x + 5), then combine like terms to simplify the numerator.
The sum is equivalent to .
(Choice A) may result from mistakenly multiplying only the denominator (instead of both numerator and denominator) of each fraction.
(Choice B) may result from adding numerators and denominators directly without using the LCD.
(Choice C) may result from incorrectly factoring x² − 25 as (x − 5)² instead of (x + 5)(x − 5).
Things to remember:
To add or subtract fractions that have different denominators,
first rewrite them with a common denominator.
Question
The histogram shown summarizes the daily low temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), over a 30-day period in a certain city. The first interval represents the frequency of days greater than 0°F but less than 5°F. The second interval represents the frequency of days greater than or equal to 5°F but less than 10°F, and so on. For the data set, what is the ratio of the number of days that are at least 20°F to the number of days that are greater than 0°F but less than 10°F?
| A. 4 : 2 | |
| B. 8 : 6 | |
| C. 12 : 8 | |
| D. 20 : 10 |
In a histogram, the heights of the bars indicate the number of values (frequency) for each corresponding interval of numbers on the horizontal axis.
It is possible to express the ratio of a to b in odds form a : b.
Explanation
The question asks for the ratio of the number of days with temperatures that are at least 20°F to the number of days that are less than 10°F.
A ratio is a comparison of numbers. It is possible to express the ratio of a to b in the following forms:
The height of each bar on the given histogram indicates the number of days within each corresponding temperature interval.
Identify the intervals that are at least 20°F and add the corresponding numbers of
days.
Identify the intervals that are less than 10°F and add the corresponding numbers of days.
The choices are given in colon form, so the ratio of the number of days that are at least 20°F to the number of days that are greater than 0°F but less than 10°F is 12 : 8.
(Choice A) 4 : 2 is the ratio of the number of days that are greater than 25°F (instead of 20°F) to the number of days that are less than 5°F (instead of 10°F).
(Choice B) 8 : 6 is the ratio of the number of days that are at least 20°F but less than 25°F to the number of days that are at least 5°F but less than 10°F. However, less than 10°F also includes the interval 0°F to 5°F, and at least 20°F also includes the interval 25°F to 30°F.
(Choice D) 20 : 10 may result from a misconception about what the question asks. To find the ratio of the number of days that are at least 20°F to the number of days that are less than 10°F, it is necessary to identify and add the frequencies for each desired interval.
Things to remember:
- A ratio is a comparison of numbers. It is possible to express the ratio of a to b in the following forms:
- In a histogram, the heights of the bars indicate the number of values (frequency) for each corresponding interval of numbers on the horizontal axis.
Question
In the figure shown, BE and CD intersect at point A, and BC is parallel to DE. The measure of which of the following angles must be equal to the measure of ∠ADE?
| A. ∠ABC | |
| B. ∠ADE | |
| C. ∠ADB | |
| D. ∠AED |
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the pairs of alternate interior angles they form are congruent.
Explanation
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the pairs of alternate interior angles they form are congruent.
It is given that BC and DE are parallel, so the intersections of transversal CD form congruent alternate interior angles ∠ADE and ∠ACB.
Therefore, the measure of ∠ADE must be equal to the measure of ∠ACB.
(Choice A) ∠ABC may result from assuming that the bottommost angles of triangles ABC and ADE are congruent.
(Choice C) ∠ADB may result from assuming that CD bisects ∠BDE, but it is only given that BC is parallel to DE.
(Choice D) ∠AED may result from assuming that triangle ADE is isosceles with base DE, but it is only given that BC is parallel to DE.
Things to remember:
When parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the following pairs of angles are formed:

Passage
Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by D.H. Lawrence. In the novel, Lawrence depicts Mrs. Gertrude Morel as someone who associates being outdoors with positive experiences: ______.
Question
Which quotation from Sons and Lovers most effectively illustrates the claim?
| A. "Mrs. Morel leaned on the garden gate, looking out, and she lost herself awhile. She did not know what she thought. Except for a slight feeling of sickness, and her consciousness in the child, herself melted out like scent into the shiny, pale air." | |
| B. "She touched the big, pallid flowers on their petals, then shivered. They seemed to be stretching in the moonlight. She put her hand into one white bin: the gold scarcely showed on her fingers by moonlight. She bent down to look at the binful of yellow pollen; but it only appeared dusky." | |
| C. "Mrs. Morel, seared with passion, shivered to find herself out there in a great white light, that fell cold on her, and gave a shock to her inflamed soul. She stood for a few moments helplessly staring at the glistening great rhubarb leaves near the door." | |
| D. "A few whiffs of the raw, strong scent of phlox invigorated her. She passed along the path, hesitating at the white rose-bush. It smelled sweet and simple. She touched the white ruffles of the roses. Their fresh scent and cool, soft leaves reminded her of the morning-time and sunshine." |
Explanation
Locate the claim and then summarize the ideas and wording in each quotation, selecting the one that best supports the claim.
The claim in the second sentence of the introductory information states that Mrs. Morel "associates being outdoors with positive experiences." The idea that Mrs. Morel felt "invigorated" (energized) when she smelled a sweet flower and that she was reminded of sunny days after she touched the roses are indications that she is having a positive experience while outside.
Because of its language with positive connotations, the correct quotation is "A few whiffs of the raw, strong scent of phlox invigorated her. She passed along the path, hesitating at the white rose-bush. It smelled sweet and simple. She touched the white ruffles of the roses. Their fresh scent and cool, soft leaves reminded her of the morning-time and sunshine."
(Choice A) This answer indicates that Mrs. Morel is leaning on a gate, lost in thought and feeling a little sick, which has a negative, not a positive, connotation.
(Choice B) This quotation indicates that when she touched the flowers, Mrs. Morel shivered, an action that indicates she's cold or uncomfortable. She also has trouble seeing her hand in the bin because there isn't enough light, which is neutral rather than positive.
(Choice C) This answer indicates that Mrs. Morel is shivering with cold, which is a "shock" to her system that doesn't seem positive. Also, the fact that she is helplessly staring at some leaves seems like more of a negative experience.
Things to remember:
The correct quotation will contain language that reinforces the
question's assertion.
Passage
Text 1
The discovery of antibiotics is considered a revolutionary medical breakthrough, but the success of these lifesaving medicines has depended on all the scientists who documented their methods for extracting, purifying, and mass-producing antibiotics after the initial discoveries. Because written laboratory notes and publications carefully documented scientists' collaborative efforts, pharmaceutical companies have been able to precisely replicate these processes in order to develop safe and usable treatments.
Text 2
Traditional
herbal medicine often lacks
systematic documentation among its
practitioners, and this
dearth of information often
obscures how particular remedies were developed.
Oral traditions rarely include enough specific detail to trace experimental procedures,
so identifying the
precise measures for creating effective treatments, or understanding the reason they
were selected, is challenging for researchers studying natural treatments for wounds and diseases.
Question
Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 1 most likely respond to the discussion in Text 2?
| A. By stating that researchers mentioned in Text 2 may benefit from adopting the same medical treatments as those used in the development of antibiotics | |
| B. By drawing attention to the difference in effectiveness between antibiotics and the remedies examined by the researchers mentioned in Text 2 | |
| C. By noting that the researchers mentioned in Text 2 require more documentation to verify the efficacy of herbal medicine than scientists studying antibiotics do | |
| D. By suggesting that records maintained during antibiotics' development significantly reduced the difficulties experienced by the researchers mentioned in Text 2 |
Explanation
Summarize the texts' main points, identify their connection, and formulate an idea about how the indicated author would respond to the other text's ideas. Then, select the answer choice with similar information.
Text 1 Summary: The development of antibiotics has depended on careful documentation by scientists.
Text 2 Summary: Herbal medicines have not been well documented, so researchers have trouble understanding these treatments.
Connection: Text 2 explains a problem resulting from a lack of documentation, whereas Text 1 discusses how good documentation led to successful treatments.
Possible Response: The author of Text 1 would say that the problems herbal medicine researchers are having wouldn't occur if the practitioners kept better documentation.
Similar Answer: By suggesting that records maintained during antibiotics' development significantly reduced the kinds of difficulties experienced by the researchers mentioned in Text 2.
(Choice A) It's not the medical treatments themselves that need to be applied; rather, it's documenting those treatments that would benefit Text 2's researchers.
(Choice B) The effectiveness of herbal remedies isn't discussed, so it cannot be compared to the effectiveness of antibiotics.
 |
Carefully note the wording before a blank. Words like "not" indicate that the missing word will express the opposite of what the text describes. |
(Choice C) Neither text specifies exactly how much documentation is needed, so they don't support the idea that herbal medicine requires more documentation than that for antibiotics.
Things to remember:
Summarize each text, formulate your own idea about the author's
response, and select the answer with similar information.
Passage
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Material scientist Sozan Darabi was developing a yarn designed for wearable electronic textiles.
- She evaluated the conductivity, or capacity to transmit electricity, of several specially treated fibers.
- Darabi discovered that a cotton yarn coated with graphene had the ability to transmit electricity, with a conductivity of 1 S/cm.
- She discovered that a regenerated cellulose yarn coated with a substance known as PEDOT:PSS transmitted electricity very effectively and had a conductivity of 36 S/cm.
- Fibers used in wearable electronic textiles must have high conductivity while maintaining durability, comfort, and washability.
Question
The student wants to contrast the conductivity of graphene-coated cotton yarn with that of PEDOT:PSS-coated cellulose yarn. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
| A. The capacity of graphene-coated cotton yarn and PEDOT:PSS-coated cellulose yarn to transmit electricity was measured by evaluating each fiber's conductivity. | |
| B. Fibers used in wearable electronic textiles must have high conductivity while maintaining durability, comfort, and washability, as demonstrated by Darabi's research. | |
| C. Although the graphene-coated cotton yarn and PEDOT:PSS-coated cellulose yarn had different levels of conductivity, Darabi intends to develop both for electronic textiles. | |
| D. While graphene-coated cotton yarn had a conductivity of only 1 S/cm, PEDOT:PSS-coated cellulose yarn transmitted electricity very effectively, with a conductivity of 36 S/cm. |
Explanation
Identify the student's goal and use the process of elimination to find the answer that achieves that goal based on accurate information from the notes.
The student wants to “contrast the conductivity” of two types of yarn, so look for a difference between the conductivities. Note 3 indicates that the coated cotton yarn's conductivity is 1 S/cm, and Note 4 states that the coated cellulose yarn's conductivity is 36 S/cm. Examine each answer to find a statement that creates contrast by specifically highlighting this difference.
|
A statement that creates contrast usually contains a contrast word like “while,” “whereas,” “although,” “though,” or “but.” |
| (Choice A) | This choice discusses how the two fibers' conductivities were measured, but it doesn't identify a contrast between the conductivities. |
| (Choice B) | This choice mentions that fibers in electronic textiles must have high conductivity, but it doesn't identify the conductivities of the two yarns in the question, nor does it create any contrast. |
| (Choice C) | This choice contains the general statement that the two yarns “had different levels of conductivity,” but it doesn't specifically contrast the conductivities by saying what the different levels were. Instead, it focuses on Darabi's plan to use both yarns in electronic textiles, which is irrelevant to the student's goal and not supported by the notes. |
| (Choice D) | This choice begins with the contrast word “While” and specifically identifies the conductivity of each type of yarn, highlighting the difference between the two. |
Things to remember:
Choose the answer that accomplishes the student's goal with specific
information from the notes.
Passage
Before his death in 1965, Korean painter Park Soo Keun portrayed everyday life in two paintings: Fish on a Cutting Board and A Tree and Two Women. In 2021, ______ displayed alongside many of Park's other paintings in a major retrospective at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Seoul, South Korea.
Question
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
| A. it was | |
| B. they were | |
| C. this was | |
| D. some were |
Explanation
Rule: Pronouns must match the nouns they refer to in number (singular or plural).
The answers all include a pronoun, so locate the referenced noun and note whether that noun is singular or plural. Choose the pronoun that matches it in number.
The pronoun refers to something able to be displayed, which in this case is two paintings. The painting titles are joined by the FANBOYS conjunction “and,” forming a plural. When referring to plural titles, the pronoun referencing them must also be plural.
Both “they” and “some” are plural, but only “they” correctly refers to the two paintings mentioned in the previous sentence, which means the correct answer is they were.
|
|
When the noun that a pronoun references is plural, eliminate any answer choices with singular pronouns. |
(Choices A and C) Because what is referred to is plural “paintings,” using a singular pronoun like “it” or “this” is incorrect.
(Choice D) The plural pronoun “some” refers to an unspecified portion of a group. Only two paintings were mentioned previously, so a portion of two would just be one. However, “some” cannot refer to exactly one, making this choice incorrect.
Things to remember:
Plural pronouns refer to plural nouns, and singular pronouns refer to
singular nouns.
