Trang 1

1 A The sentence is correct.

2 E The underlined phrase should be a noun

phrase that represents one of the best features of the

journalist’s lifestyle Only (C) and (E) are noun phrases,

and (E) is much clearer

(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)

3 B The opening participial phrase modifies Greg

and not Greg’s search.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced

Participles)

4 C Idiom requires neither to be followed by nor,

and parallelism requires the nor to be followed by an

adjective

(Chapter 15, Lesson 10: Idiom Errors)

5 D The past participle of to take is taken, not took.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 13: Irregular Verbs)

6 C Although choice (D) is parallel in structure, its

phrasing is nonstandard The phrasing in (C) is both

parallel and clear

(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)

7 A The pronoun he is the subject of an implied

verb, he (did), so it is used correctly in the subjective

form Also, the phrase admire his acting is correct,

be-cause the object of the verb is acting, not him.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 6: Pronoun Case)

8 B Neither is the singular subject of the verb, so

the verb should be was, not were Also, the pronoun

should be its because the subject is singular and a ram

can only feel its own pain, not the pain of them both

(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)

(Chapter 15, Lesson 2: Trimming Sentences)

(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent

Disagreement)

9 B The participle walking modifies Liz, not Liz’s

family Choice (D) makes this correction, but the

modifiers are awkward and unclear

(Chapter 15, Lesson 7: Dangling and Misplaced

Participles)

(Chapter 15, Lesson 12: Other Modifier Problems)

10 E The phrase if not better is an interrupter, so

the sentence should read well even if it is omitted The

only phrasing that meets this criterion is (E)

(Chapter 15, Lesson 2: Trimming Sentences)

11 E The original is not a sentence but a fragment.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)

12 D The phrase much closer modifies the verb study

and so should be in adverbial form: much more closely.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 12: Other Modifier Problems)

13 B The two clauses must be parallel: has been so

popular would make this clause parallel to the first.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)

14 D This is a diction error Respectfully means full

of respect, which makes no sense here The word

should be respectively.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 11: Diction Errors)

15 D The verb would have considered is in the

wrong tense and mood It should be consider.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 9: Tricky Tenses) (Chapter 15, Lesson 14: The Subjunctive Mood)

16 E The sentence is correct.

17 C The fund deficit and the disillusionment are

not a single problem, but two problems.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)

18 B The subject of the verb is either accepting or

re-jecting If the subject of a verb is an either or

con-struction, the verb must agree with the noun after the

or, which in this case is rejecting Since this is a sin-gular noun, the verb should be was.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)

19 C Since defense attorneys can be counted, the

correct comparative word is fewer, not less.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 4: Comparison Problems)

20 B It is illogical to compare service to other

restau-rants The phrase should be the service at the other restaurants.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)

21 E The sentence is correct.

22 C This pronoun refers to a child, so it must be

the singular he or she.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent Disagreement)

23 C The phrase not only A but also B indicates a

parallel structure To make the structure parallel, the

phrase should be replaced with by.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)

24 E The sentence is correct.

Trang 2

25 B The pronoun he is ambiguous We are not

cer-tain which individual it is referring to To correct the

error, he should be changed to either Thomas Cowher

or the Senator

(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent

Disagreement)

26 C The sentence indicates that this occurred in

the past by saying those who were observing

There-fore are should instead be were.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)

27 E The sentence is correct.

28 A Between my brother and I should instead be

between my brother and me Subjective pronouns,

such as I, should only be used as subjects Objective

pronouns, including me, can be used as objects of

verbs or as objects of prepositions

(Chapter 15, Lesson 6: Pronoun Case)

29 C The critic is writing about a duo, which is a

singular subject The their should therefore be

re-placed by its.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent

Disagreement)

30 A Choice (A) is the most concise and clear, and

the phrasing is parallel

(Chapter 15, Lesson 3: Parallelism)

(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)

31 B Sentence 3 presents an example of Plato’s

rea-soning as described in sentence 2 Choice (C) may

be tempting, but since the sentence does not extend

the idea from sentence 2 but only provides an example,

the word furthermore is inappropriate.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)

32 B The pronoun they and the noun

approxima-tions should agree in number Choice (B) provides the

most straightforward phrasing

(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent

Disagreement)

(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)

33 D Sentence 6 does not fit because it shifts the

discussion to what students dislike, rather than the

nature of mathematical objects

34 E Choice (E) provides the most logical, concise,

and clear phrasing

35 A Choice (A) provides the most logical, concise,

and clear phrasing

Section 5

1 E If 2x = 10, then 4x = 20, and if 3y = 12, then

6y = 24, so 4x + 6y = 20 + 24 = 44.

(Chapter 6, Lesson 4: Simplifying Problems)

2 D Set up the equation: (a + b + 4)/3 = 5

Multiply by 3: a + b + 4 = 15

(Chapter 9, Lesson 2: Mean/Median/Mode Problems)

3 C If b = 2a, then a + 2a = 180, because the two

angles form a linear pair So 3a = 180 and a = 60 Your

diagram should now look like this:

So d + e + g + h = 60 + 60 + 120 + 60 = 300.

(Chapter 10, Lesson 1: Lines and Angles)

4 A Substitute x = 100 into the function:

(Chapter 11, Lesson 2: Functions)

5 B If 2m = 8, then m = 3 So 3 k+3= 243 Checking

the powers of 3 shows that k + 3 = 5 Therefore, k = 2,

so 2k= 22= 4

(Chapter 8, Lesson 3: Working with Exponentials)

6 C If b varies inversely as the square of c, then the

equation that relates them is b = k/c2where k is some constant To find the value of k, just plug in the given values for b and c:

8 = k /32

Therefore, the specific equation relating b and c is

b = 72/c2 To find the value of c when b = 2, just

sub-stitute and solve:

2 = 72/c2

Cross-multiply: 2c2= 72

Take the square root: c = ±6

7 C Each of the five teams must play four other

teams three times apiece In other words, each team

must play in 4 × 3 = 12 games Since there are five

teams, it might seem at first that there are a total of

5× 12 = 60 games, but since each game needs two

teams, the total number of games is 60/2 = 30

(Chapter 9, Lesson 5: Counting Problems)

8 A If pump A can fill the tank in 3 hours, then it

will fill 1⁄3of the tank in 1 hour, leaving 2⁄3of the tank to

fill Pump B can fill 1⁄2of the tank in an hour, so

work-ing together, the two pumps can fill 1⁄2+1⁄3=5⁄6of the

tank per hour To fill 2⁄3of the tank working together,

then, takes (2⁄3) ÷ (5⁄6) =4⁄5hour, which equals (4⁄5)(60) =

48 minutes

(Chapter 9, Lesson 4: Rate Problems)

9 7.5 Translate into an equation: 4x – 5 = 25

(Chapter 8, Lesson 7: Word Problems)

10 13 «7» = 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

«5» = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

So «7» – «5» = 7 + 6 = 13

(Chapter 9, Lesson 1: New Symbol or Term Problems)

11 100 Circumference = πd, so you can find the

diameter:

πd = 10π

Divide by π: d = 10

This diameter is also the hypotenuse of a right triangle,

so by the Pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = d2 = 102= 100

(Chapter 10, Lesson 3: The Pythagorean Theorem)

(Chapter 10, Lesson 8: Circles)

12 24 This is a “counting” problem, so it helps to

know the fundamental counting principle from

Chapter 9, Lesson 5 Since you are making a

three-letter arrangement, there are three decisions to be

made The number of choices for the first letter is

four; then there are three letters left for the second

spot, then two left for the third spot This gives a total

of 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 possible arrangements

(Chapter 9, Lesson 5: Counting Problems)

13 0.2 or 1/5 This is a simple substitution You can

substitute 10,200 for 96,878 × x2 because they are

equal So 10,200/(5 × 96,878 × x2) = 10,200/(5 × 10,200)

=1⁄5 Notice that the 10,200s “cancel.”

(Chapter 6, Lesson 4: Simplifying Problems)

14 4 If each term is 1 less than 3 times the previous

term, then each term is also 1/ of the number that is

term is 95, the third term must be 1/3of 96, which is

32 Repeating this shows that the second term is 11 and the first term is 4 Check your work by confirm-ing that the sequence satisfies the formula

(Chapter 6, Lesson 7: Thinking Logically) (Chapter 11, Lesson 1: Sequences)

15 0.8 If

So (Notice that you don’t really have to deal with the root!)

(Chapter 8, Lesson 1: Solving Equations)

16 5 If their are a adults, there must be 30 − a

chil-dren, because the total number of people is 30 Therefore 10a + 5(30 − a) = 175

Distribute: 10a + 150 − 5a = 175

Simplify: 5a+ 150 = 175 Subtract 150: 5a= 25

Now check: if there are 5 adults, there must be 25 children, and the tickets would cost 5(10) + 25(5) = 50 + 125 = 175 (yes!)

(Chapter 8, Lesson 7: Word Problems)

17 9 Since a = (2/3)b, the perimeter of the triangle

is b + b + (2/3)b = (8/3)b The perimeter is 24, so

(8/3)b= 24 Multiply by 3/8: b= 9 (Chapter 10, Lesson 5: Areas and Perimeters) (Chapter 7, Lesson 4: Ratios and Proportions)

Mark the diagram with the given information The

dotted lines show that AD is the hypotenuse of a right

triangle with legs of length 8 and 6 So to find it, just use the Pythagorean theorem: 62+ 82= (AD)2

Simplify: 100 = (AD)2

Take the square root: 10 = AD

Section 6

1 A Because the signal was strange, it was clearly

not an expected result, but it was also not from outside

of the telescope, so it was a strange happening from the

telescope itself malfunction= disruption of the normal

workings; bulwark = defensive fortification; anthology =

collection of literary works; mutation= change in form

2 B The problem is one that may never be solved,

so it is difficult or stubborn impotent= weak and

in-effective; intractable = hard to manage, stubborn;

evanescent = likely to vanish; irate = angry; insipid =

dull, tasteless

3 E If the general was surprised at the ease with

which the defenses were breached, he must have

ex-pected the resistance to be much stronger ephemeral=

short-lived; compatible = working well together;

egre-gious = blatant or extreme; imposing = intimidating

4 B A dependence on electronic devices would be

expected to tax the power grid, although increased

ef-ficiency of those devices would be expected to ease the

burden abated = decreased in intensity; attenuated =

caused to be less intense; compromised= rendered

vulnerable; flourished= thrived

5 E The word although indicates a contrast.

Although the persecution vanquished (conquered) the

will of some, it must have strengthened the will of

others despotic = tyrannical; squandered = wasted;

amenable = obedient; celebrated = eminent; ruthless =

merciless; forged= established

6 C The passage says that Rousseau’s writings

(line 1) were what led Goethe to say that “feeling is

all” (line 4) Therefore, Goethe was influenced by

Rousseau

7 D The passage says that Kant forgot to take his

daily walk because he was so absorbed in reading

Rousseau’s Émile (lines 14–16).

8 C Passage 1 states that “by emphasizing feeling”

(line 3) Rousseau inspired the Romantic movement

and Goethe in particular, while Passage 2 criticizes

Rousseau’s “worship of emotion” (line 33) as

encour-aging poor parenting

9 B Passage 1 states that Rousseau “inspired the

French Revolution” (lines 9–10) and Passage 2 gives

Rousseau credit for laying the “philosophical

founda-tion of American independence” (lines 31–32).

10 E By saying “It would be a good idea,” Gandhi

indicated that civilization in the West had not really

been realized

11 B The voices are those who are bankrolled by

large corporations (lines 16–17) and who are saying such things (line 15) as that America is a model of free-market capitalism (line 11) This would certainly

not include Mahatma Gandhi, but the passage

indi-cates that it would include politicians and those in corporate news and entertainment media (lines 8–10).

12 C The second paragraph explains how the concept

of free trade (line 20) works, so it is explaining a concept.

13 A The statement suggests that the rules of free

trade would work differently if the parties involved were different, suggesting that the rules are selec-tively applied

14 A This paragraph indicates that these words are

being used ironically It states that the Indians (gave in

to Western pressure) (lines 55–56), so the agreement

was not a completely free one Also, the words “liber-alize” and “liberalization” are used ironically because they refer to actions that in fact reduced competition

and were (a great blow to free markets) (lines 64–65).

15 D The triumph was also described as a great

blow to free markets (lines 63–65).

16 B The paragraph indicates that businesses are

expected to wager their own capital on success in the marketplace (lines 66–68) but that some

pharma-ceutical companies don’t need to

17 C In lines 14–15, the narrator describes the

in-struction as being “clear and facile to my apprehen-sion,” which means he found it easy to understand

18 D The phrase clear and facile to my apprehension

means easy to understand.

19 B The narrator says that a mind of moderate

ca-pacity which closely pursues one study must infallibly arrive at great proficiency (lines 22–24), thereby sug-gesting that only diligence is required for proficiency.

20 A The narrator was as well acquainted with the

theory and practice of natural philosophy as depended

on the lessons of any of the professors at Ingolstadt

(lines 32–35), which means he had learned all he could from them

21 C This supernatural enthusiasm describes the

narrator’s passion for his studies

22 B The human bodies are described as changing

from the seat of beauty and strength in life to food for the worm (line 68) in death.

Trang 5

23 C The rest of the sentence describes how the

processes of death change a formerly living body In

saying that he beheld the corruption of death succeed

to the blooming cheek of life, he is saying that death

and decay have replaced or defeated life

24 E The narrator reveals his sense of privilege in

this discovery by stating that he is alone (line 83)

among the many men of genius (line 81) who had

studied this topic before

Section 7

1 C 16 is equal to 2(7) + 2, so it is two more than a

multiple of 7

(Chapter 7, Lesson 7: Divisibility)

2 E Five oranges can be bought for 5¢ more than

the price of four, which is 4(20¢) + 5¢ = 85¢ $3.40 is

equivalent to 4(.85), so it will buy 4(5) = 20 oranges

(Chapter 8, Lesson 7: Word Problems)

3 A If r is positive, then –r is negative If you add

another negative, then the result will be even more

negative

(Chapter 7, Lesson 6: Negatives)

4 D Twelve less than the product of 3 and x+ 1 can

be represented as 3(x+ 1) − 12

Distribute: 3x+ 3 − 12

(Chapter 8, Lesson 7: Word Problems)

5 C The square has an area of 200 × 200 = 40,000

square feet 40,000 ÷ 5,000 = 8, so this will require

eight bags of seed at $25 apiece 8 × $25 = $200

(Chapter 10, Lesson 5: Areas and Perimeters)

6 C Analyzing the right angle shows that x + y = 90.

Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°,

x + y + w = 180 Substitute x + y = 90: 90 + w = 180

Subtract 90: w= 90

(Chapter 10, Lesson 2: Triangles)

7 D If the numbers have a product of 0, then at

least one must equal 0 Call the numbers x, y, and 0.

The problem also says that x + y = 7 and x − y = 11.

Add the equations: x + y = 7

+ (x − y = 11) 2x= 18

Plug back in, solve for y: 9 + y = 7

So the least of the numbers is −2

(Chapter 8, Lesson 2: Systems)

If you prefer to look at it as a “combination” problem, the number of triangles is the number of ways of choosing three things from a set of four, or 4C3= 4

9 B The only way that abc would not be a multiple

of 4 is if none of the three numbers is a multiple of 4

and no two of them are even (because the product of

two evens is always a multiple of 4) One simple

ex-ample is a = 1, b = 2, and c = 3 This example rules out

choices (A), (C), (D), and (E)

(Chapter 9, Lesson 3: Numerical Reasoning Problems)

10 A A large percent change from 2002 to 2003 is

represented by a point in which the y-coordinate is much greater than the x-coordinate Point A

repre-sents a change from 30 in 2002 to 70 in 2003, which

is a percent change of (70 − 30)/30 × 100% = 133% (Chapter 7, Lesson 5: Percents)

(Chapter 11, Lesson 5: Data Analysis)

11 E If both classes have 100 students, then class B

had 30 students participate in 2002 and 50 in 2003, for

a total of 80 Class E had 80 in 2002 and 60 in 2003, for

a total of 140 The difference, then, is 140 − 80 = 60 (Chapter 11, Lesson 5: Data Analysis)

12 E If class D has 120 students, then 80% of 120, or

96 students participated in 2002 If the same number

participated from class C, then 96 is 60% of the num-ber of students in class C If the numnum-ber of students in class C is x, then 60x = 96 Divide by 6: x = 160.

(Chapter 11, Lesson 5: Data Analysis)

13 E Substitute x = −1 into the equation to find c.

Simplify: 1 = −4 + c

So the equation is x2= 4x + 5 Subtract (4x+ 5): x2− 4x −5 = 0 Factor the quadratic (remember that since x= −1 is

a solution, (x +1) must be a factor): x2 − 4x − 5 = (x + 1)(x − 5)

Therefore (x +1)(x − 5) = 0

So the solutions are x = 1 and x = 5

(Chapter 8, Lesson 5: Factoring)

8 A You can draw a diagram and see that there

are only four possible triangles:

Trang 6

14 C To create a three-digit number, three

deci-sions must be made: you must choose the first digit,

then choose where to put the two, then choose the

final digit Since the first digit must be odd, there

are three options for the first digit Since the two

may be placed in either the second or the third

slot, there are two options Then there are three

dig-its left to choose for the final slot This means there

are 3 × 2 × 3 = 18 possibilities

(Chapter 9, Lesson 5: Counting Problems)

15 C Since one pound feeds five chickens, four

pounds are needed to feed 20 chickens This leaves

10 − 4 = 6 pounds of feed Since each pound can feed

two pigs, six pounds can feed 2 × 6 = 12 pigs

(Chapter 6, Lesson 2: Analyzing Problems)

(Chapter 7, Lesson 4: Ratios and Proportions)

16 A Since 120° is 1/3 of

360°, the shaded region has

1/3 the area of the circle

Therefore, the circle has an

area of 3(3π) = 9π Since

A = πr2, the radius is 3

cen-timeters The circumference

of the circle, then, is 2πr =

2π(3) = 6π, and the arc of the

shaded region has length (1/3)(6π) = 2π The

perime-ter of the shaded region, then, is

3 + 3 + 2π = 2π + 6

(Chapter 10, Lesson 5: Areas and Perimeters)

Section 8

1 D The word rather indicates the important

con-trast between the two ideas The second word

indi-cates something specific to a single director rather

than many visions conglomeration = collection;

in-subordination = disobedience; prudence = careful

management; bastion = a well-fortified area; synthesis

= a fusion of different elements; conspiracy = secret

agreement to commit a crime

2 B The fact that modern readers read a book once

and then discard it suggests that their interest in it is

only temporary, rather than timeless immoral =

unethical; fleeting= short-lived

3 A Although indicates a contrast in ideas, so the

missing word must mean prolonged rather than

short-term protracted = prolonged; contemporaneous =

liv-ing or existliv-ing at the same time; transient= short-lived;

surreptitious = secretive; fickle = tending to change

one’s mind often

4 C Since the sentence says that athletes are

treated like successful warriors, you should look for a

word like celebrated invoked = called on or cited; re-pudiated = having to validity rejected its; lionized = treated like a celebrity; vilified = defamed; beguiled =

deceived by charm

5 E The word although indicates a contrast.

Although the persecution vanquished (conquered) the will of some, it must have strengthened the will of others despotic = tyrannical; squandered = wasted; amenable = obedient; celebrated = eminent; ruthless = merciless; forged= established

6 B If she was an opponent of the male hegemony

(dominance of one group over another), she must

have been an outspoken critic of the male-dominated society matriarchal = female-dominated; pugnacious = belligerent; patriarchal = male-dominated; vociferous = outspoken; avuncular = like a good-natured uncle;

belligerent = inclined to picking fights; rudimentary = basic; liberal= free-thinking

7 C The author begins by making the point that

the spelling profession (line 1) kills genius By saying

that Shakespeare was not a good speller but was more

of a genius than Noah Webster, he is reinforcing the point, thereby suggesting that Webster is someone in the “spelling profession.”

8 E The previous two sentences discuss the fact

that any attempt to make spelling easier would

under-mine the author’s excuse for bad spelling (line 18).

9 E Serena’s plan is to have people avoid spelling

words with silent letters, but not change the way they pronounce words This would require a change in writing habits

10 C Serena’s plan is to boycott (line 77) words with

superfluous letters Boycotting is a form of protest By saying that her plan is more American than his, the author suggests that Americans are inclined to protest things

11 A The author says he wants to set the idle letters

to work (lines 50–51) by pronouncing them, while Serena plans to ignore all words that contain superflu-ous letters (lines 75–76).

12 A In the final paragraph of Passage 1, the author

says that he replaced the Platonic friendship he had with Serena with ardent love (lines 85–86) because he didn’t know how to spell the word friend.

13 D The chaos is mentioned as the result of

fail-ing to impose standards for spellfail-ing particular

words and instead spelling a word in many different

ways according to how it is pronounced in different

dialects

14 B Passage 2 says that standardized spelling

ob-scures those spoken dialects that are so often used to

stratify and separate us (lines 116–118).

15 A Passage 2 says that the silent letters in the

word “eight” are a treasure trove (lines 126–127) to

those who study the history of language

16 A Passage 1 is clearly intended to be humorous,

while Passage 2 is very systematic in discussing the

problems with the spelling reform movement

17 D Passage 1 says that Americans do not like

sud-den changes (line 29) to suggest the difficulty in

en-acting spelling reform Similarly, Passage 2 says that

languages are not influenced very much by plan or

rea-son (lines 131–132).

18 D Because the final paragraph of Passage 2

dis-cusses the problem of enacting a plan to change the

conventions of language, the author of Passage 2

would likely regard such a plan as unworkable

19 C The first passage discusses although as a word

with too many silent letters, while Passage 2 discusses

it because it contains a letter sequence that can be

pronounced in many different ways

Section 9

1 C The original sentence is a run-on sentence.

Answer choice (C) properly coordinates the two ideas

(Chapter 15, Lesson 15: Coordinating Ideas)

2 B In the original sentence, a better debater should

instead be better debaters, the plural form Answer

choice (B) corrects this error

(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent

Disagreement)

3 B Billy the Bobcat is a singular subject and the

verb have is plural It should instead be has.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 1: Subject-Verb Disagreement)

4 B The pronoun when should be used only to

refer to a time It should be replaced by who.

(Chapter 15, Lesson 5: Pronoun-Antecedent
