Explanation:
This is a "place for" analogy. One place where a SPEECH might be made is on a ROSTRUM (a platform for public speaking), in front of an audience. Similarly, one place where a contest (between two sports teams, for example) might occur is in an arena, before an audience.
NEW QUESTION # 138
While there will always be a need for social programs geared toward alleviating the poverty of individuals, the community is perhaps the more relevant level for public policy intervention, especially in rural areas. It has been recognized that social isolation within urban ghettos is a structural characteristic of urban poverty, but rural poverty is marked by physical isolation as well. This uniqueness makes rural community poverty particularly intractable, requiring policies that account for the cost of isolation. It is possible to provide vocational training for individuals anywhere, but if there are no jobs within the community for those individuals, the training is largely wasted. The current transition to a service-based economy and deregulation in transportation (resulting in disproportionately higher transportation costs for relatively isolated areas) have only exacerbated the growing social and economic distress in rural America, underscoring the need to redefine poverty and redirect the focus of our funding agencies and policy- makers in accordance with the new definition. What's needed is a more holistic view on an aggregate level, where poverty is properly seen as a condition of the local social structure, with income only one of the salient parameters.
The author mentions "the current transition to a service-based economy and deregulation in transportation" (lines 20-22) most likely to
- A. contrast the old economy with the new economy
- B. provide support for a more flexible poverty standard
- C. underscore the isolation of people in rural communities
- D. suggest that manufacturing jobs are disappearing
- E. emphasize the lack of job skills among rural residents
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
transition to a service-based economy and deregulation in transportation . . . underscor[e] the need to redefine poverty." The refined definition that the author advocates is apparent from the passage's opening and final sentences: Poverty should be measured not just at the individual level but also at the community level (especially in rural areas). In other words, the standard for poverty should be more flexible, as choice
E. indicates.

NEW QUESTION # 145
One of the most intriguing stories of the Russian Revolution concerns the identity of Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II. During his reign over Russia, the Czar had planned to revoke many of the harsh laws established by previous czars. Some workers and peasants, however, clamored for more rapid social reform. In 1918 a group of these people, known as Bolsheviks, overthrew the government. On July 17 or 18, they murdered the Czar and what was thought to be his entire family. Although witnesses vouched that all the members of the Czar's family had been executed, there were rumors suggesting that Anastasia had survived. Over the years, a number of women claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia.
Perhaps the best - known claimant was Anastasia Tschaikovsky, who was also known as Anna Anderson.
In 1920, eighteen months after the Czar's execution, this terrified young woman was rescued from drowning in a Berlin river. She spent two years in a hospital, where she attempted to reclaim her health and shattered mind. The doctors and nurses thought that she resembled Anastasia and questioned heer about her background. She disclaimed any connection with the Czar's family. Eight years later, though, she claimed that she was Anastasia. She said that she had been rescued by two Russian soldiers after the Czar and the rest of her family had been killed. Two brothers named Tschaikovsky had carried her into Romania. She had married one of the brothers, who had taken her to Berlin and left her there, penniless and without a vocation. Unable to invoke the aid of her mother's family in Germany, she had tried to drown herself. During the next few years, scores of the Czar's relatives, exservants, and acquaintances interviewed her. Many of these people said that her looks and mannerisms were evocative of the Anastasia that they had known. Her grandmother and other relatives denied that she was the real Anastasia, however. Tried of being accused of fraud, Anastasia immigrated to the United States in 1928 and took the name Anna Anderson. She still wished to prove that she was Anastasia, though, and returned to Germany in 1933 to bring suit against her mother's family. There she declaimed to the court, asserting that she was indeed Anastasia and deserved her inheritance. In 1957, the court decided that it could neither confirm nor deny Anastasia's identity. Although we will probably never know whether this woman was the Grand Duchess Anastasia, her search to establish her identity has been the subject of numerous books, plays, and movies.
Tschaikovsky ____any connection with the Czar's family.
- A. denied
- B. noted
- C. stopped
- D. justified
- E. answer not stated

NEW QUESTION # 146
Societal progress usually comes about through (i) _______ and challenge - that is, when people point out the mistakes of those who wield power; (ii) _______, without our challenging the mistaken notions of established institutions, political (iii) ______ and tyranny would go unchecked.
- A. corruption
- B. in addition
- C. nevertheless
- D. oppression
- E. in fact
- F. dissension
- G. perseverance
- H. opposition
- I. back
Answer: D,F,I
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
In the first sentence, the phrase that is signals that what precedes it should be similar in meaning to what follows it. Pointing out the mistakes of those in power could be characterized either as a challenge or as part of dissention, which means "rebellion or disobedience." The second part of the sentence (following the semicolon) reiterates and expresses more pointedly the idea in the first part. The connecting phrase in fact works well to signal this reiteration. As for blank (iii), oppression (which means "persecution or tyranny") is the only choice that makes sense in context.
NEW QUESTION # 147
In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan. One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian we now call the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety eight days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and disease. Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.
The Pope divided New World lands between Spain and Portugal according to their location on one side or the other of an imaginary geographical line 50 degrees west of Greenwich that extends in a ___ direction.
- A. crosswise
- B. north and west
- C. easterly
- D. north and south
- E. south east

NEW QUESTION # 148
The village of Vestmannaeyjar, in the far northern country of Iceland, is as bright and clean and up-to-date as any American or Canadian suburb. It is located on the island of Heimaey, just off the mainland. One January night in 1973, however, householders were shocked from their sleep. In some backyards red-hot liquid was spurting from the ground.
Flaming "skyrockets" shot up and over the houses. The island's volcano, Helgafell, silent for seven thousand years, was violently erupting! Luckily, the island's fishing fleet was in port, and within twenty-four hours almost everyone was ferried to the mainland. But then the agony of the island began in earnest. As in a nightmare, fountains of burning lava spurted three hundred feet high. Black, baseball-size cinders rained down. An evilsmelling, eye-burning, throat-searing cloud of smoke and gas erupted into the air, and a river of lava flowed down the mountain. The constant shriek of escaping steam was punctuated by ear- splitting explosions. As time went on, the once pleasant village of Vestmannaeyjar took on a weird aspect.
Its street lamps still burning against the long Arctic night, the town lay under a thick blanket of cinders. All that could be seen above the ten-foot black drifts were the tips of street signs. Some houses had collapsed under the weight of cinders; others had burst into flames as the heat ignited their oil storage tanks. Lighting the whole lurid scene, fire continued to shoot from the mouth of the looming volcano. The eruption continued for six months. Scientists and reporters arrived from around the world to observe the awesome natural event. But the town did not die that easily. In July, when the eruption ceased, the people of Heimaey Island returned to assess the chances of rebuilding their homes and lives. They found tons of ash covering the ground. The Icelanders are a tough people, however, accustomed to the strange and violent nature of their Arctic land. They dug out their homes. They even used the cinders to build new roads and airport runways. Now the new homes of Heimaey are warmed from water pipes heated by molten lava.
This liquid was coming from the ...
- A. ocean
- B. mountains
- C. ground
- D. sky
- E. sea

- A. traitor : disloyal
- B. partisan : impartial
- C. consumer : prosperous
- D. prisoner : rebellious
- E. soldier : obedient
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
This is as "ideal characteristic" analogy. Ideally, an ARCHITECT is CREATIVE; similarly, an ideal soldier is one who is obedient; that is, one who obeys the orders of a superior officer. Choice B is incorrect because disloyalty is not just an ideal characteristic of a traitor; it is the defining characteristic.
NEW QUESTION # 151
American history scholars generally attribute formation of the League of Indian Nations to Degandawida, who convinced the warring and fiercely autonomous Iroquois nations to embrace his radical idea for a league by tying it to familiar Iroquois customs and institutions. He associated the notion of peace and partnership with the Iroquois custom by which the families of slain warriors adopted war prisoners into the tribe. He invoked unquestioned social institutions as symbols, comparing the League to the traditional Iroquois clan in which several families share a "Longhouse" and likening the Great Council, comprised of representatives from each nation, to the Longhouse's ever-burning Council Fire. And he assigned to each nation specific duties in order to assuage its fear of losing national identity. (For instance, he assigned to the Onondagas, who were centrally positioned geographically, the role of perpetual hosts.) Perhaps most persuasive, however, was how Degandawida's League replicated the power structure of the traditional Iroquois clan. Each of the five Iroquois nations was comprised of matriarchal totemic clans in which the chiefs were men, the clan heads were women, and the chief's children were considered members of his wife's clan. Degandawida determined that the heads of each nation should select their League representatives, thereby effectively precluding the possibility of League representatives passing their power on to their sons, as well as decreasing the likelihood that a pro-war representative would be appointed. Iroquois unification under the League lasted about two centuries, when disagreement as to whether to become involved in the American Revolutionary war divided the Iroquois. The revolutionaries' success and their subsequent encroachment upon Iroquois lands forced many Iroquois to resettle in Canada, while those who remained behind lost respect from other Indian nations. The introduction of distilled spirits led to widespread alcoholism and, in turn, to a rapid decline of the culture and population.
The Quakers' influence impeded, yet in another sense contributed, to this decline. By establishing schools for the Iroquois and by introducing them to modern technology for agriculture and husbandry, the Quakers instilled some hope for the future yet undermined their sense of national identity. Ironically, it was the alcoholic halfbrother of Seneca, Cornplanter, the most outspoken proponent among the Iroquois for assimilation of white customs and institutions, who revived the Iroquois culture. Around 1800, Handsome Lake, a former member of the Great Council, established a new religion among the Iroquois that tied the more useful aspects of Christianity to traditional Indian beliefs and customs. Lake's teachings quickly became firmly entrenched among the Iroquois, sparking reunification and renewed confidence while also curbing rampant alcoholism. Lake's influence is still evident today: many modern- day Iroquois belong both to his religion and to one or another Christian sect Assuming that the reasons asserted in the passage for the decline of the Iroquois culture are historically representative of the decline of cultural minorities, which of the following developments would most likely contribute to the demise of a modern- day ethnic minority?
- A. A tax credit for residential property owners who lease their property to members of the minority group
- B. A bilingual education program in which children who are members of the minority group learn to read and write in both their traditional language and the language prevalent in the present culture
- C. A government-sponsored program to assist minority owned businesses in using computer technology to improve efficiency
- D. The declaration of a national holiday commemorating a past war in which the minority group played an active role
- E. Increased efforts by local government to eradicate the availability of illegal drugs
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
According to the passage, the Quakers' introduction of new technology to the Iroquois was partly responsible for the decline of the Iroquois culture in that it contributed to their loss of national identity.
Choice D presents a similar situation. Choice A is the second-best choice. Insofar as the children referred to in scenario choice A learn the language of the prevailing culture, assimilation and a resulting loss of ethnic identity might tend to occur. However, this sense of identity might be reinforced by their learning to read and write in their traditional language as well. Therefore, choice A is not as likely to lead to the demise of the minority group as choice (D), based upon the Iroquois' experience as discussed in the passage.

Many child psychologists believe that a playground bully's _______ behavior is mere bravado-an attempt to compensate for insecurities - and that this _______ superiority portends trouble coping with responsibilities as an adult.
- A. antisocial . . air of
- B. aggressive . . obsession with
- C. cruel . . merely feigned
- D. unchecked . . show of
- E. superior . . pretense of
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
It's fair to characterize bullying as either antisocial, cruel, or aggressive. The word bravado means
"pretense," and feigned means "pretended." So by pretending to be superior, a bully hides his insecurities.
Among the choices, then, choice B makes for the most cohesive sentence overall.

NEW QUESTION # 157
Some archaeologists speculate that the Americas might have been initially colonized between 40.000 and
25.000 years ago. However, to support this theory it is necessary to explain the absence of generally accepted habitation sites for that time interval in what is now the United States. Australia, which has a smaller land area than the United States, has many such sites, supporting the generally accepted claim that the continent was colonized by humans at least 40.000 years ago. Australia is less densely populated (resulting in lower chances of discovering sites) and with its overall greater aridity would have presented conditions less favorable for hunter-gatherer occupation. Proportionally, at least as much land area has been lost from the coastal regions of Australia because of postglacial sea-level rise as in the United States, so any coastal archaeological record in Australia should have been depleted about as much as a coastal record in the United States. Since there are so many resource-rich rivers leading inland from the United States coastline, it seems implausible that a growing population of humans would have confined itself to coasts for thousands of years. If inhabitants were present
25.000 years ago. the chances of their appearing in the archaeological record would seem to be greater than for Australia.
The author of the passage notes Australia's "smaller land area" in order to
- A. suggest that the number of habitation sites from between 40.000 and 25.000 years ago that have been found in Australia is somewhat surprising
- B. emphasize a difference between Australia and the United States in population density
- C. indicate that Australia is not exactly comparable to the United States in size
- D. help show why the absence of habitation sites from between 40.000 and 25.000 years ago in what is now the United States is problematic
- E. help explain a difference between Australia and the United States in the number of habitation sites from between 40.000 and 25.000 years ago
