Question # 61

Passage:

Weather forecasts describe short-term conditions; climate models estimate long-term patterns. A single storm does not validate or refute a climate projection, just as one roll of dice tells little about the dice’s weighting. Trends across many seasons are the test.

What is the author’s primary claim?

Options:

A.

Weather events can decisively prove climate models wrong.

B.

Short-term forecasts are more scientific than long-term models.

C.

Individual events are weak evidence; only long-run trends fairly assess climate models.

D.

Climate and weather are identical phenomena at different scales.

Question # 62

Passage:

The startup’s pitch promised “frictionless” payments, but customer forums chronicled hours-long identity checks. Investors applauded the growth curve; regulators fined the firm for weak verification. In the end, the company throttled signups to rebuild compliance systems—proof that speed without guardrails was unsustainable.

Which statement is best supported by the passage?

Options:

A.

Rapid expansion can backfire if compliance is neglected.

B.

Customers prefer long identity checks to quick signups.

C.

Regulators discourage any innovation in financial technology.

D.

Growth guarantees lasting market dominance.

Question # 63

Passage:

A district floated facial-recognition cameras for campus entry. Administrators emphasized speed and threat alerts; parents raised bias and privacy concerns. A pilot used volunteers and stored data for 24 hours with an independent audit. Queue times fell; two mismatches were caught and corrected. The board postponed expansion pending a civil-liberties review.

What is the author’s tone toward the pilot?

Options:

A.

Uncritical endorsement

B.

Cautiously balanced, noting operational gains and unresolved rights issues

C.

Alarmist rejection

D.

Indifferent reportage with no evaluation

Question # 64

Passage:

Language learning is easiest for children, but adults retain plasticity with the right inputs: rich immersion, frequent feedback, and sleep that consolidates memory. Small, daily sessions outperform cramming; accent may plateau, yet vocabulary and comprehension can progress for years. App dashboards that reward streaks exploit this spacing effect.

Which evidence would most strengthen the claims in the passage?

Options:

A.

A weekend bootcamp where participants study eight hours straight

B.

A yearlong randomized study showing adults assigned to 20-minute daily sessions with sleep tracking outperform equal-time crammers on retention and comprehension

C.

A survey where learners say they enjoy gamified apps

D.

A case report about one polyglot who learned quickly

Question # 65

Passage:

To ease congestion on park roads, officials allowed Class 1 e-bikes (pedal assist, no throttle) on multiuse paths. Surveys showed more seniors and parents with trailers using longer routes. A few hikers complained about near-misses on blind curves. Rangers added “slow bell” zones at bends and a 10 kph advisory; follow-up counts found fewer conflicts while total path use continued climbing.

Which statement best captures the passage’s main idea?

Options:

A.

E-bikes should be banned from parks.

B.

Allowing low-power e-bikes broadened access, and targeted speed management reduced conflict.

C.

Hikers’ complaints prove the policy failed.

D.

Path use declined after the change.
