 Main idea
 Overall structure
 Function of each sentence = introduce something
In 2015 Filipa Faleiro and colleagues published a study

concluding that ocean acidification has a strong effect on
the behavior of Hippocampus guttulatus, a species of fish.
However, Faleiro and colleagues’ study relied on a mean
sample size of only 6 fish. In a 2022 review of various
scientists’ conclusions about the impacts of ocean
acidification on fish behavior, Jeff C. Clements and
colleagues caution that relying on such a relatively small
sample size can increase the potential for biased analysis.
Such analysis, in turn, can contribute to reports of
exaggerated effects.

Q6-
Researchers César A. Hidalgo, Elisa Castañer, and Andres

Sevtsuk created a computer model to predict the mix of
movie theaters, gyms, and other businesses found in a given
neighborhood. How we define a neighborhood and its
boundaries is subjective, so the team used a clustering
algorithm to locate dense groupings of amenities that
represent human-identified neighborhoods like Boston’s
Harvard Square. The predictive model, which incorporates
this algorithm, is sure to be invaluable in determining the
optimal mix of a city’s amenities.

Yingguang Frank Chan and colleagues have explored how

convergent evolution—a phenomenon that occurs when the same
trait evolves independently in two reproductively separate
lineages—can result from a genetic mechanism shared by both
lineages. Meanwhile, Patricia J. Wittkopp and colleagues have
investigated how convergence occurs through different genetic
mechanisms, but the relative prevalence of convergence through
shared and different genetic processes is still poorly understood.
This motivated biologists Delbert A. Green II and Cassandra G.
Extavour to evaluate both types of convergence in a single study
for their 2012 paper.

Q8-
Text 1
Scholarship today overrepresents experimentally

fragmented narrative structures, such as that of Jean
Toomer’s Cane, beyond the degree to which they actually
influenced fiction in the United States during the modernist
period (roughly 1900–1945).
Meanwhile, Ellen Glasgow’s Barren Ground, whose
coherent, linear narrative structure recalls the fiction of
previous centuries, attracts woefully little attention from
scholars of modernism.
Text 2
Distant reading, or computer-assisted quantitative analysis

of massive collections of digitized texts, can reveal stylistic
elements that have heretofore escaped notice, despite being
shared by numerous texts from the modernist period. For
too long, scholars have focused on narrative fragmentation
versus coherence, inhibiting inquiry into other points of
stylistic correspondence among works that would enrich our
understanding of the modernist canon.
Based on the texts, both the author of Text 1 and the author
of Text 2 would most likely agree with which statement
about scholarship on the modernist period in the United
States?
A. At present, it only partially captures the stylistic

dimensions of the fiction written in the period.
B. Its primary methods for analyzing fiction written in the
period are growing obsolete as computer technology
advances.
C. Instead of engaging in unproductive debates, it should
work to rehabilitate the reputations of neglected
modernist works.
D. It must widen its focus to include aspects of
modernist fiction beyond style, a productive but
overrepresented site of inquiry.

Why do some people with high incomes vote for
politicians supporting higher taxes on those with high
incomes like themselves? Economists Benjamin Enke et al.
propose that values are a luxury good: that is, the higher
one’s income, the more weight one has the liberty to assign
to one’s values when voting. Thus, Enke et al. suggest that
although the behavior of high-income earners who
advocate for higher taxes may seem counterintuitive, such
people likely do so because they feel enabled by their
economic security to take a stance they think is morally
correct.
Which choice best states the main idea of the text?
A. A group of economists asserts that people with

relatively high incomes are consequently enabled to take
certain considerations into account when voting.
B. According to a group of economists, politicians who
support higher taxes on those with high incomes must
convince a sufficient number of people with such incomes
to vote against their material interest if the politicians are
to be elected.
C. A team of economists finds that people who vote for
higher taxes on those with high incomes are likely to think
their moral values coincide with their material interests.
D. According to a team of economists, the higher a
voter’s income, the more likely that voter’s values are to
conflict with their material interests.

There Is Confusion is a 1924 novel by Jessie Redmon
Fauset. In the novel, the narrator portrays the character
Joanna as someone who admires ambition in other people
to the exclusion of all other qualities: .
Which quotation from There Is Confusion most effectively

illustrates the claim?
A. “Joanna was mightily interested in people who had a

‘purpose’ in life. Otherwise not at all.”
B. “Joanna was like her father not only so far as ambition
was concerned but also in her willingness to work.”
C. “She had a good sense of logic, a strong power of
concentration, and a remarkably retentive and visualizing
memory.”
D. “Indeed from the very beginning Joanna showed her
preference for her father.”

Some herbicides contain copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-
NPs), which can leach into waterways and soils via
wastewater. In a 2012 study, Chengfang Pang and
colleagues found that CuO-NPs can accumulate in the
bodies of New Zealand mud snails (Potamopyrgus
antipodarum). While bioaccumulation of manufactured
nanoparticles may be inherently worrisome, it has been
hypothesized that CuO-NP bioaccumulation in
invertebrates like P. antipodarum could serve a valuable
proxy role, obviating the need for manufacturers to
conduct costly and intrusive sampling of vertebrate species
—such as African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis),
commonly used in regulatory compliance testing—for
nanoparticle bioaccumulation, as environmental protection
laws currently require.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support the

researchers' hypothesis presented in the text?
A. Compared with X. laevis, P. antipodarum can tolerate

significantly higher CuO-NP concentrations without
displaying any negative effects.
B. It is easier to detect low and harmless concentrations of
CuO-NPs in P. antipodarum than it is to detect high and
harmful concentrations of CuO-NPs in X. laevis.
C. CuO-NP concentrations in P. antipodarum tend to vary
more from individual to individual than do CuO-NP
concentrations in X. laevis when the species are exposed
to similar levels of CuO-NPs.
D. In comparable environments, P. antipodarum and X.
laevis display comparable rates of CuO-NP uptake.

Neurobiologists Laura Cuaya, Raúl Hernández- Pérez, and
colleagues investigated the language detection abilities of
eighteen dogs of various ages. The researchers monitored
the brain activity of Odin (a 54-month-old border collie),
Bingo (a 37- month-old mixed breed), and other dogs
while the animals listened to three recordings: one of The
Little Prince being read in Spanish, the second in
Hungarian, and a third made up of short, randomly selected
fragments of the first two, scrambled so that they didn’t
resemble human speech. Each of the dogs was familiar
with either Spanish or Hungarian, but not both. The team
concluded that the younger the dog, the worse it may be at
differentiating between familiar and unfamiliar languages.
Which finding from the study, if true, would most directly

support the team’s conclusion?
A. Although the dogs’ general hearing sensitivity

declined with age, dogs of all ages showed more brain
activity in response to hearing the language they were
accustomed to than in response to hearing the other
language.
B. As the age of the dog scanned decreased, so did the
amount of brain activity in response to hearing the
language the dog was accustomed to or the other
language, but not in response to hearing the scrambled
recording.
C. Dogs showed a different pattern of brain activity when
hearing the language they were accustomed to than when
hearing the other language, and the difference in brain
activity decreased as the age of the dog scanned decreased.
D. The similarity between the pattern of brain activity a
dog showed in response to hearing the scrambled
recording and the pattern it showed in response to
hearing the language it was not accustomed to was
lowest among younger dogs.

Quasars—such as J0313-1806, located in the Eridanus
constellation—are extremely luminous galactic nuclei
powered by supermassive black holes. Quasars range in
age, with approximately 200 of them known to have
developed within the first billion years of the formation of
the universe. Scientific researchers have long wondered
how any quasars could have formed so early in the
universe’s evolution given that conditions are believed to
have been ill-suited to their creation, which suggests that
.
Which choice most logically completes the text?
A. J0313-1806 is likely less massive than quasars that

formed more than a billion years after the beginnings of
the universe.
B. J0313-1806 is thought to have formed less than a billion
years after the beginnings of the universe.
C. some aspect of the scientific understanding of
quasar formation or the early universe may be
incomplete.
D. quasars that formed in the early universe are likely
not as luminous as those that formed later.

To combat predation by Arizona myotis and other
insectivorous bats, many moth species, including Cycina
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. Homziak et al. investigated the
acoustic properties of moths’ ultrasonic responses to audio
of bat echolocation and then assessed the palatability of the
ultrasound-producing moths.
They found that several moth genera that emit
ultrasonic pulses capable of disrupting bat echolocation
are unpalatable to bats, suggesting that .
Which choice most logically completes the text?
A. most genera of moths that produce ultrasound capable

of disrupting bat echolocation do so primarily for
purposes other than evading capture by Arizona myotis
and other predators.
B. the hypothesis about the development of this
ultrasonic defense likely does not account for all
instances of the trait in moths.
C. although previous findings about Cycina tenera are
consistent with the hypothesis about the low metabolic
cost of producing noxious chemicals, the ability to disrupt
bat echolocation and unpalatability are not mutually
exclusive traits.
D. further investigations into moths’ ability to protect
themselves by disrupting bat echolocation will likely
find that moth genera relying on this mechanism are also
generally inedible to bats.

Researchers Tony Bolden and Tammy Kernodle have lent
their expertise on Black history and music to an important
new Timeline of African
American Music, a digital resource that traces the
development of individual musical genres (such as gospel
and soul) while also revealing the connections between
them.
