2. Early Earth is thought to have been characterized by a stagnant lid tectonic regime, in
which the upper lithosphere (the outer rocky layer) was essentially immobile and there
was no interaction between the lithosphere and the underlying mantle. Researchers
investigated the timing of the transition from a stagnant lid regime to a tectonic plate
regime, in which the lithosphere is fractured into dynamic plates that in turn allow
lithosphere and mantle material to mix. Examining chemical data from lithosphere and
mantle-derived rocks ranging from 285 million to 3.8 billion years old, the researchers
dated the transition to 3.2 billion years ago.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support the researchers’ conclusion?
A. M antle-derived rocks older than 3.2 billion years show significantly more
compositional diversity than lithospheric rocks older than 3.2 billion years do.
B. There is a positive correlation between the age of lithospheric rocks and their
chemical similarity to mantle-derived rocks, and that correlation increases
significantly in strength at around 3.2 billion years old.
C. Among rocks known to be older than 3.2 billion years, significantly more are
mantle-derived than lithospheric, but the opposite is true for the rocks younger
than 3,.2 billion years.
D. Mantle-derived rocks younger than 3.2 billion years contain some material that is
not found in older mantle-derived rocks but is found in older and
contemporaneous lithospheric rocks.
A. “Then let me no one turn with too much [fussiness] from the simple story of the
humble Elleanor, it may contain few, or none, of the thrilling charms of poetry and
passion.”
B. “Home is home, to the lowly as well as the great; and no rank, or color, destroys
its sacred character, its power over the mind, and the affections.”
C. “Blessed are the slumbers of the innocent! They are kindlier than balm, and they
refresh and gladden the spirit of childhood, like ministering from a better world.”
D. “And now, deer reader, a word with you. What is done cannot be undone. We
cannot unravel this web of iniquity and extract justice from this mass of cruel
wrongs.”
4. The following text is from George Marion McClellan’s 1895 poem “Eternity”
My spirit swoons, and all my sense cry
For Ocean’s breast and covering of the sky
Rock me to sleep, ye waves, and outward bound.
Just let me drift far out from toil and care
Where lapping of the waves shall be the sound.
Which mingled with the winds that gently bear
Me on between a peaceful sea and sky
To make my soothing slumberous lullaby
Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?

hardship by gliding on the ocean.
D. To convey the speaker’s longing for the ocean to impart a sense of inner
tranquility
5. Vertical gene transfer involves the transmission of genetic material from a parent to
offspring horizontal gene transfer, on the other hand, involves the exchange of genetic
material between organisms not in a parent-offspring relationship. While horizontal gene
transfer is common among prokarvotes-single-celled organisms, such as the bacteria
Brevundimonas diminuta and Massilia timonae-\\. has rarely been observed among
eukaryotes (multicellular organisms). However, new studies suggest that horizontal
gene transfer is more common in eukaryotes than originally thought.
Which choice best states the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a
whole?
6. Text 1
In parts of New Zealand, the stoat is a major predator of the house mouse. Researcher
G.L. Blackwell and colleagues found that when this predation pressure on house mice
was temporarily reduced, their numbers significantly increased. This finding illustrates a
foundational ecological principle: predators control prey population numbers.
Text 2
William D. Gulsby and colleagues found that excluding coyotes from a site in the state
of Georgia where they typically prey on white-tailed deer had no significant effect on
white-tailed deer abundance. Many other predation relief studies show an increase in
prey abundance, but those studies often focus on small, rapidly reproducing prey, like
birds, mice, and frogs, rather than large, slowly reproducing prey, like white-tailed deer,
which could account for the difference between those results and Gulsby and
colleagues' results.
Based on the texts, the author of Text 2 would most likely agree with which statement
about the "principle" mentioned in Text 1?
(A) It is plausible, but many of the studies that support it have methodological flaws.
(B) It has been challenged by some studies, but the findings of those studies have not
been widely accepted.
(C) It may be true for some predators but only because those predators share certain
physical characteristics.
(D) It has some evidential support, but it should not be regarded as universally
applicable.
7. Many artists associated with hyperpop, a movement in electronic music that emerged
in the 201 Os, conform to the model perfected by the American duo 100 gees: bold
synthesizer arrangements, propulsive beats, and electronically manipulated vocals. Yet
the movement is hardly uniform: Swedish recording artist Namasenda incorporates
hip-hop rhythms into the hyperpop sound, for example. Such stylistic diversity is
encouraged in part by the music-streaming app Spotify, whose curated playlist of
hyperpop songs balances cohesion with variety.
Which statement about Namasenda is best supported by the text?
(A) While some of her recordings conform to the model perfected by 100 gees, others
reject it outright.
(B) Her music diverges from the typical hyperpop sound but doesn't abandon it.
(C) She developed her unique sound without being influenced by other artists on
Spotify's hyperpop playlist.
(D) Her inclusion on Spotify's hyperpop playlist inspired established artists to embrace
stylistic experimentation.
8. One popular theory of the origin of the Moon, the "big whack," posits that a
protoplanet called Theia collided with Earth, flinging debris into orbit that eventually
coalesced into the Moon. Until recently, Theia w a s ___ but researcher Qian Yuan and
colleagues now claim to have identified pieces of the protoplanet in the lowermost
section of Earth's mantle.

9. To combat predation by Arizona myotis and other insectivorous bats, many moth
species, including Cynia tenera, emit ultrasonic pulses that, in some cases, disrupt the
echolocation bats rely on for foraging. Some scientists have hypothesized that this
capability evolved because it imposes a lower metabolic cost than does the alternative
mechanism of producing chemicals that render moths noxious to bats. Nicholas T.
10. Can field mustard plants grow on Mars? Can pea plants? You might think the answer
to these questions is obviously no, but researchers in the Netherlands recently showed
that the seeds of many common plant species can germinate in soil designed to
simulate Martian conditions, as long as water is supplied. In fact, some species actually
did better in Martian soil than in Earth soil: 30 percent of field mustard seeds sprouted
when planted in simulated Martian soil, compared with 4 percent that did when planted
in soil from their home planet.

Martian soil
(D) To explain an important study of differences in the composition of Martian soil and
the composition of Earth soil

15. As exemplified by Yi songs about the natural environment and O'odham songs about
desert plants, ecological information can be transmitted Indigenous songs. And in some
instances is maintained only in this way. Kwaxxistalla Wathl'thia, a song keeper for the
Kwakwaka'wakw people in Canada, collaborated with ethnobiologist Dana Lepofsky
et.al, sharing songs referencing terraced intertidal clam gardens the people
implemented in the past to foster healthy development of a dietary staple. Drawing on
archaeological evidence as well, Lepofsky et al.determined that the prevalence of the
practice described in the songs corresponded with growth in clam size and abundance
despite increased harvesting pressure - a finding that demonstrates that____
Which choice most logically completes the text?

22. During Rome’s republican period, which ended in the first century BCE, libraries
were predominantly owned by wealthy individuals who tightly controlled access to their
book collections. The first public library became available in Rome in 28 BCE and was
soon followed by one commissioned by Emperor Augustus. As modern scholar Fabio
Fernandes notes, however, these two traditions aren’t as distinct as they seem, as both
the emperor and the private library owners viewed their libraries as extensions of their
personal patronage, just on vastly differing scales.
Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?
A. To give a brief overview of public access to libraries throughout Rome’s
republican period
B. To contend that early imperial leaders in Rome wielded to much influence over
libraries
C. To assert that private and early public libraries in ancient Rome had an essential
similarity.
D. To call into question the notion that private Roman libraries disappeared during
the first century BCE
A. despite the greater prevalence of anterior genes in sea stars' genetic makeup,
posterior genes active at the body's perimeter are primarily responsible for the
starlike layout that distinguishes sea stars' radial symmetry from that of other
echinoderms.
B. Although the tw o species are closely related, there is only minimal
correspondence in the genetic markers for head, tail, and trunk region
development in P.miniata sea stars and S. kowalevskii acorn worms.
C. Rather than undergoing changes resulting in the eventual elimination of a head
region in their radial body plan, as previously assumed, sea stars’ morphology
evolved to completely lack a trunk and consist primarily of a head region.
D. Contrary to the belief that they evolved from early ancestors with the bilateral
form typical of many other animals, sea waters instead originated with an atypical
body layout that was neither bilaterally nor radially symmetrical.
24. Some researchers have characterized the flora and fauna of the South Pacific island
or Grande Terre as members of clades that inhabited nearby islands before Grande
Terre completely emerged 37 million years ago. Gonzalo Giribet et al.found that the
crown age (the age of the most recent common ancestor of all living end extinct species
in the clade) of the clade of daddy longlegs spiders on Grande Terre is approximately
57.0 million years, while Antoine N.Nicolas and Gregory M.Plunkett found that the
crown age of the clade of Apiales plants on Grande Terre is approximately 25.4 million
years.
Which statement about the view put forward by “some researchers” is best
supported by information in the text?
A. The view suggests that Grande Terre may have emerged as early as 57.0 million
years ago.
B. The view could be true of Grande Terre’s daddy longlegs spiders but its not true
of the islands’s Apiales plants.
C. The view depends on inaccurate assumptions about the crown age of the clades
of daddy longlegs spiders and Apiales plants on Grande Terre.
D. The view has some empirical support but is weakened by the findings of Giribet
et al.
25. Vancouver, Canada, has installed engineered structures along 75% of its
shoreline to protect infrastructure from storm surges and other hazards, a
practice known as shoreline hardening. To evaluate the responses of waterbirds
to two types of hardening structures- riprap and bulkheads-Diann Porsser et
al.surveyed waterbird communities consisting of the mallard, the common loon,
and 62 other species at different sites in the Chesapeake Bay on the US East
Coast. Utilizing the Index of Waterbird Community Integrity (IWCI), on which a
high score corresponds to high community integrity, the researchers found that
bulkheads are more strongly negatively correlated with waterbird community
integrity than is riprap.
Which finding, if true, would most directly illustrate the researchers’
finding?
A. Waterbird communities at Curtis, a site with a high percentage of shoreline
consisting of bulkheads and riprap, had lower average IWCI scores than
did waterbird communities at Onancock, a site with a low percentage of
shoreline consisting of bulkheads and riprap.
B. The difference in average IWCI scores for waterbird communities at Stony
and Old Road, two sites with a higher percentage of shoreline consisting of
bulkheads than of riprap, was statistically insignificant.
C. Waterbird communities at Old Road, a site with a relatively high
percentage of shoreline consisting of bulkheads, had lower average IWCI
scores than did waterbird communities at Miles, a site with a relatively high
percentage of shoreline consisting of riprap.
D. Waterbird communities at Curtis, a site with equal percentages of shoreline
consisting of bulkheads and riprap, had higher average IWCI scores than
did waterbird communities at Miles, a site with different percentages of
shoreline consisting of bulkheads and riprap.

Rev. Amos Barton." In the text, the narrator addresses the reader directly and abides to a
discussion among Rev.Amos Barton's neighbors.
It was happy for the Rev. Amos Barton that he did not. Like not, overhear the
conversation recorded in the last chapter. Indeed, what mortal is there of us, who would
find his satisfaction enhanced by an opportunity of comparing the picture he presents
himself of his own doings, with the picture they make on the mental retina of his
neighbours? We are poor plants buoyed up by the air-vessels of our own conceit: alas

31. Though John Crowley, author of Endless Things, is not as well known as the most
widely read American writers of the past fifty years, his work has had several influential
champions, including the poet James Merrill and the literary critic Harold Bloom. In his
afterword to Crowley's book Litte, Big, Bloom argues that the novel adroitly blends what
playwright Friedrich Schiller termed the naive and sentimental m odes-w hile Schiller
thought works could be classified as either naive (seeking to describe reality) or
sentimental (seeking to develop ideas). Little, Big fuses both modes of writing.

36. Almost all works of fiction contain references to the progression of time, including
the time of day when events in a story take place. In a 2020 study. Allen Kim, Charota
Pethe, and Steven Skiena claim that an observable pattern in such references reflects a
shift in human behavior prompted by the spread of electric lighting in the late nineteenth
century. The researchers drew this conclusion from as analysis of more than 50,000
novels spanning many centuries and cultures, using software to recognize and tally both
specific time references-that is, clock phrases, such 7 a.m or 2.30 p.m -a n d implied
ones, such as mentions of meals typically associated with a particular time of day.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support the researcher's conclusion?
A The tim e references of noon (12p.m) and midnight (12 a.m) are used with roughly the
same frequency in the novels.
В Novels published after 1880 contain significantly more references to activities
occurring after 10p.m, than do novels from earlier periods.
С Among novels published in the nineteenth century, implied tim e references become

38. Puerto Rico is an island in the Caribbean Sea. Indigenous people there started
raising guinea pigs about 1700 years ago. Guinea pigs had originally been domesticated
much earlier in both Colombia and Peru. So were guinea pigs brought to Puerto Rico
from Colombia or from Peru? Ancient Caribbean trade routes connected to Puerto Rico
with Colombia but not with Peru. Therefore, guinea pigs in Puerto Rico probably came
from Colombia and descended from Colombia guinea pigs.
Which finding, if true, would most directly weaken the underlined claim?
A. Ancient guinea pigs in Puerto Rico were genetically less similar to ancient guinea
pigs in Colombia than to ancient guinea pigs in Peru.
B. Guinea pigs are common in ancient Puerto Rico art, especially in poetry.
C. The guinea pig population of ancient Colombia was much larger than the guinea
pig population of ancient Peru.
D. Modern breeds of guinea pigs don't like images of guinea pigs in ancient art from
