QUESTION NO: 17

In his splendid new biography of Flaubert, Frederick Brown deftly dismantles the most durable myth concerning the novelist
– that Flaubert was miraculously transformed into a committed realist with the writing of Madame Bovary. Robert Baldick
offers one version of the myth: “In his early works ... Flaubert tended to give free rein to his flamboyant imagination, but on
the advice of his friends he later disciplined his romantic exuberance in an attempt to achieve total objectivity and a
harmonious prose style.” The only problem with this account is that it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Flaubert followed the
realism of Madame Bovary with the fantastical Salammbô, and paired “A Simple Heart” with his hothouse fantasy,
“Hérodias.”

In the context of the passage, the reference to Baldick’s “version” serves to (Choose all that apply.)

A. flesh out 2 conventional view regarding Flaubert

QUESTION NO: 18

James invested $4,000 at 5% interest per year; how long will it take him to earn $200 in simple interest?

A. 1 year

B. 2 years

C. 3 years

D. 4 years

E. 5 years

ANSWER: A

Explanation:

Simple interest may be calculated using the formula, I = Prt, where Prepresents the principal amount, r represents the rate,
and t represents the length of time. Substituting 200 for I, 4000 for P, and 0.05 for r gives 200 = (4000)(0.05)t. Thus, t = 1. It
will take him 1 year to earn $200 in simple interest.

QUESTION NO: 19

TEACHER : INSTRUCTION

A. lawyer : crime

B. army : regiment

C. doctor : disease

D. student : learning

E. guard : protection

ANSWER: E

Explanation:

This is an “inherent function” analogy. The function of a TEACHER is to provide INSTRUCTION for another; similarly, the
function of a guard is to provide protection for another. As for choice (D), although the “function” of a student might be said to
learn, it is not to provide learning for another. So choice (E) is not as strong an analogy as choice (D).

QUESTION NO: 20

Fifteen buoys, numbered 1 to 15, are positioned equidistantly along a straight path for a sailboat race. The race begins at
buoy 1, and 45 minutes into the race the fastest boat reaches buoy 10. At the same average speed, how many minutes will it
take the boat to race from buoy 10 to buoy 15?

A. 45

B. 32.5

C. 25

D. 22.5

E. 15

ANSWER: C

Explanation:

In 45 minutes, the boat traveled 9 (not 10) segments (from one buoy to the next). That means it takes the boat 5 minutes to
travel the length of 1 segment. At buoy 10, 5 additional segments remain ahead. Since the boat’s average speed is the same
before and after buoy 10, it takes the boat 5 × 5 = 25 minutes to travel from buoy 10 to buoy 15.
