Verbal Ability Test (40 Questions in
35 minutes)
Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the
passage and answer the questions that
follow on the basis of the information
provided in the passage.
It all started at the beginning of fifth
grade. At first, Carmen wasn’t really sure
what was happening. In class, she had
to squint to see the blackboard clearly.
She had to do the same thing when she
read street signs, or when she watched a
movie. As the fuzziness got worse, she
became more and more worried. It was
important for her to see the notes and
homework assignments the teacher put
on the board.
It wasn’t long before Carmen found
herself squinting all the time, but she
didn’t want anyone to know that she was
having a problem seeing. In class, she
asked for a desk that was closer to the
blackboard. One day, her teacher said,
"Carmen, are you all right? I’ve noticed
you squinting a lot. Are you having
trouble seeing the board?"
Carmen shook her head. "I’m fine, Mrs.
Cruz," she said, but she knew she
couldn’t pretend much longer.
At home, she had to sit closer and closer
to the television in order to see the
picture. Her mother noticed her
squinting as she watched her favorite
shows, and she began to get suspicious.
"Tomorrow I’m calling the eye doctor to
set up an appointment for you," she said
firmly. Carmen protested, but her
mother’s mind was made up.
Three days later, Carmen had new
glasses and instructions from her doctor
to wear them all the time. Carmen
frowned in the car the whole way home.
"All of the kids at school will think I’m a
nerd," she said. Her mother smiled and
shook her head. "You look just as
beautiful with those glasses on as you do
without them," she said. But Carmen
didn’t believe her. The next day,
Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as
she walked into the schoolyard. She
avoided her friends and stood alone,
feeling miserable. Suddenly, she heard
her friend Theresa shout. Carmen ran
over to the other girls. "What’s wrong?"
she asked. "My silver ring is gone!"
Theresa cried. "My sister sent it to me
from California. It’s very special and I
can’t lose it!"
Carmen could tell that Theresa was very
upset. They all looked for the ring in the
grassy area of the playground.
Carmen realized that she could search
better if she could see better. She took
the glasses out of her pocket and put
them on. The objects and people around
her came into sharp focus. She caught
her breath. Everything looked so
different! So clear! She looked down at
the ground and a glimmer of silver
caught her eye. It was the ring. "Here it
is," she shouted. "I’ve found it!" She
handed it to Theresa, and Theresa
slipped the ring back on her finger.
"Thanks Carmen," she said. "I never
thought we'd find it." She paused. "Hey,
I didn’t know you wore glasses. They
look great!" Carmen had forgotten that
she was wearing the new glasses.
"Thanks," she replied shyly. As they
walked back toward the school building,
two more girls from her class
complimented her glasses. Carmen
smiled. "Maybe wearing glasses won’t be
so bad after all," she thought.

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the
passage and answer the questions that
follow on the basis of the information
provided in the passage.
Primitive man was probably more
concerned with fire as a source of
warmth and as a means of cooking food
than as a source of light. Before he
discovered less laborious ways of making
fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever
he went on a journey he carried a
firebrand with him. His discovery that
the firebrand, from which the torch may
very well have developed, could be used
for illumination was probably incidental
to the primary purpose of preserving a
flame.
Lamps, too, probably developed by
accident. Early man may have had his
first conception of a lamp while watching
a twig or fibre burning in the molten fat
dropped from a roasting carcass. All he
had to do was to fashion a vessel to
contain fat and float a lighted reed in it.
Such lamps, which are made of hollowed
stones or sea shells, have persisted in
identical from up to quite recent times.
