In describing Rossetti’s work, the author never uses the words “stark” or “realism,” nor does the author describe her work in any way that might be expressed by either of these terms.. C
Trang 1areas) In other words, the standard
for poverty should be more flexible,
as choice (E) indicates
Although the author’s
recommen-dation to redefine poverty, if adopted,
would no doubt carry certain public
health consequences, nowhere in
the passage does the author
incor-porate public-health issues into the
analysis
9 The correct answer is (B) This
choice recapitulates the author’s
main point in the passage: Because
of a too-narrow definition of
pov-erty—one that measures it at only
the individual level—impoverished
rural communities often (and
unfairly) go unrecognized as such by
funding agencies and policy makers,
while urban ghettos do not
10 The correct answer is (E) To be
INSOLVENT is to be “without
money”; the opposite is to be
wealthy.
11 The correct answer is (D) To
OCCLUDE is to “stop up, shut in, or
close up.” To exhume is to unearth
(dig up), as a corpse from its grave
12 The correct answer is (B) This is
a “defining characteristic” analogy A
DIATRIBE is a speech characterized
by BITTERNESS A recapitulation is
a summary or synopsis, and hence is
characterized by brevity In both
cases, the second word describes the
first
13 The correct answer is (C) This is
an “example of ” analogy SILVER is
a type of METAL, and helium is a
type of gas.
14 The correct answer is (C) In
describing Rossetti’s work, the author never uses the words “stark”
or “realism,” nor does the author describe her work in any way that might be expressed by either of these terms Choices (A), (B), and (E) are all mentioned explicitly in the first paragraph as qualities that emerge from Rossetti’s work As for choice (D), the author refers to the form of Rossetti’s works in reference specifi-cally to “Goblin Market,” claiming that in its unorthodox form “Goblin Market” is like many of Rossetti’s works In this way, the author iden-tifies “unorthodox form” as one quality that emerges from Rossetti’s work
15 The correct answer is (C) In the
second paragraph, the author states that “The World” is “pivotal in under-standing Rossetti’s literary project
as a whole.” Based upon the remainder of that paragraph, the author seems to understand Ros-setti’s “literary project as a whole” as
an attempt to convey an inescapable Christian truth to her readers It is reasonably inferable, then, that “The World” provides significant insight into Rossetti’s motives
16 The correct answer is (D) The
author’s threshold purpose in dis-cussing Packer’s biography is to affirm that Rossetti’s style of writing was not a reflection of her personal lifestyle Having dismissed the theory that Rossetti was keeping secrets about her life, the author goes on to offer a better explanation for the apparent contradiction between Rossetti’s lifestyle and the emotional, sensual style of her poetry

Trang 217 The correct answer is (A) The
first part of the sentence suggests that instructional methods need to
be modified in some way to alleviate
a problem The words adjust and adapt (choices A and C) both make
sense here The second part of the sentence suggests that the problem
is that, when students are taught in the same way, their individual needs are not adequately accounted for In
other words, these needs are over-looked, at least to some extent.
Choice (A) is the only choice that makes sense for both blanks
18 The correct answer is (B) This is
a “part of” (individual-to-group) analogy A SHIP is part of an
ARMADA, and an atom is part of a molecule.
19 The correct answer is (D) This is
a “place for” analogy One place where a SPEECH might be made is
on a ROSTRUM (a platform for public speaking), in front of an audience Similarly, one place where
a contest (between two sports teams,
for example) might occur is in an
arena, also before an audience.
20 The correct answer is (D) The
missing word must contrast with the notion of abuse of genetic engi-neering, while at the same time be consistent with the desirable goal of reducing the incidence of defor-mities Only choice (D) accomplishes
both To use the technology discrimi-nately would be to conscientiously
apply it only toward certain ends (such as reducing deformities) and not toward others (such as creating a master race that dominates others)
21 The correct answer is (D) To
GAINSAY is to “deny or contradict, usually one’s own previous
state-ments,” whereas to argue consis-tently is to do the opposite.
22 The correct answer is (C) To
ACCLAIM is to approve
enthusiasti-cally, just the opposite of disapprove.
As for choice (B), to controvert is to
oppose or argue against; a person who controverts might also disap-prove, but opposing is not the same
as disapproving
Hearsay (second-hand information) tends to be unreliable So it makes sense that, acting in the public’s best interest, news agencies should
admonish (warn or instruct sternly)
their journalists to scrutinize hearsay information in order to
confirm its accuracy.
According to the passage, radiative
“forcings are quantities normally specified in global climate model situations, while feedbacks are cal-culated quantities.”
According to the passage, a given vertical distribution of ozone affects atmospheric temperatures in both directions at once Accordingly, by isolating the cooling influence of a given distribution of ozone from its warming influence, scientists might better predict whether changes in the vertical distribution of ozone will have a net cooling or a net warming effect

Trang 326 The correct answer is (A) This is
a “form of ” analogy To HANDLE is
to examine by FEEL; similarly, to
peruse is to examine or scrutinize—
usually by reading The word giggle
describes a peculiar form of laughing
but not a studied form, and so choice
(C) is not as strong an analogy as
choice (A)
27 The correct answer is (E) This is
a “contrary meaning” analogy An
INNOVATION is a new idea that
lacks PRECEDENT (an earlier
instance or example) Similarly, an
illusion by definition lacks veracity
(truthfulness) Choice (D) is the
sec-ond-best choice: to renovate is to
renew or improve something older,
such as an antique However,
some-thing renovated can still be antique
28 The correct answer is (i) age-old
aphorism, (ii) patently absurd to
aver, and (iii) suspicious The first
sentence describes an aphorism,
which means “a well-known saying
or adage.” Thus, the phrase age-old aphorism fits nicely in blank (i) The
idea of the passage as a whole is that the “adage” mentioned in the first sentence is historically indefensible
To support this idea, the author seeks to point out that it would be completely and obviously wrong—in
other words, patently absurd to aver
(assert) that America’s women’s rights pioneers could possibly be
critical of—or suspicious of—the idea
that women deserve equal rights
29 The correct answer is (C) A
COM-PLACENT person is “contented in an unconcerned or self-satisfied way”—
quite the opposite of a discontented
person
30 The correct answer is (D)
SOD-DEN means “soaked or drenched”;
parched means “dried out with heat”
and is the best antonym among the five choices
