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
