NEW QUESTION 16
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. mountains
- B. ground
- C. sky
- D. ocean
- E. sea

- E. hindered by petty . . controversial
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The first operative word in the sentence is rather, which sets up a contrast between what precedes it and what follows it. So, the first clause must run contrary to the phrase "it emerged from social experience."Only choices (A), (C), and D serve this purpose. Of these three choices, choice D.
establishes the clearest contrast - between ideology and experience. A second operative word in the sentence is hence. What follows this phrase must be consistent with what precedes it. Choice D.
accomplishes just that. The word empirical means "based on observation or experience (as opposed to theory)."

NEW QUESTION 21
Harriet Monroe, who founded Poetry: A Magazine of Verse in 1912. argued that the more heterogeneous and sprawling the modem world became, the more poetry needed "an entrenched place, a voice of power." But this goal could only be realized if poets were valued in ways that encouraged them to participate in the world and made writing verse economically viable. Monroe argued that poets needed sites of institutional opportunity like those that had been developed for visual artists, architects, and musicians. She believed that the hand-wringing anticapitalism dominating genteel literary* culture-particularly the idea that poetry ought to be removed from "sordid" pecuniary considerations-brought no economic and only illusory aesthetic benefits, instead severing poets from meaningful participation in the modern world.
The author mentions "visual artists, nrchitecis. and musicians" primarily lo
- A. explain Monroe's ideas about measures that would advance poetry
- B. illustrate the point that some art forms are inherently more economically viable than others
- C. highlight what Monroe regarded as a contrast between the economic needs of poets and those of other artists
- D. acknowledge that anticapitalism had not hail undesirable consequences for all art forms
- E. note a challenge that Monroe faced when attempting to implement her ideas
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION 22
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, during the period of the American Revolution and the early republic, political poems appeared regularly in newspapers and pamphlets. commenting on the issues and controversies engaging the new nation. Given the sheer number of poems that engaged explicitly with politics, one might wonder why the form has remained largely ignored by scholars of early American literature even as many other once obscure forms-sentimental novels, diaries, travelogues, belles letters-have enjoyed unprecedented scholarly interest in recent decades. Part of the reason may stem from frustrations involved with reading poems that are so highly topical-often requiring, even as a condition of first-level comprehension, a familiarity with names and references that, while wholly recognizable in their own time, are obscure to modem readers. Yet beyond this is the fact that American political verse from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries has never fully shaken off the verdict, delivered by its earliest generation of scholarly readers. that it is simply unworthy of serious attention as literature. Even the term commonly used to describe it-"verse." as opposed to "poetry"- suggests an occasional or forgettable, rather than enduring, form of expression, not quite deserving the designation of poetry. Nor was such verse considered by early critics as worthy of the designation "American." as the tendency of eighteenth-century American poets to model their works on those of British precursors suggested an unforgivable failure, as one critic described it. to declare their "literary independence" from Britain.
Though_________in his musical expression, the American jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus eventually developed a personal voice that proved to be much more than a simple mixture of jazz styles.
- A. relentless
- B. virtuosic
- C. eclectic
- D. uncompromising
- E. idiosyncratic
- F. wide-ranging

NEW QUESTION 25
For absolute dating of archeological artifacts, the radiocarbon method emerged during the latter half of the twentieth century as the most reliable and precise method. The results of obsidian (volcanic glass) dating, a method based on the belief that newly exposed obsidian surfaces absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere at a constant rate, proved uneven. It was initially thought that the thickness of the hydration layer would provide a means of calculating the time elapsed since the fresh surface was made. But this method failed to account for the chemical variability in the physical and chemical mechanism of obsidian hydration. Moreover, each geographic source presented unique chemical characteristics, necessitating a trace element analysis for each such source. Yet despite its limitations, obsidian dating helped archeologists identify the sources of many obsidian artifacts, and to identify in turn ancient exchange networks for the flow of goods. Nor were ceramic studies and fluoride analysis supplanted entirely by the radiocarbon method, which in use allows for field labeling and laboratory errors, as well as sample contamination. In addition, in the 1970s, dendrochronological (tree-ring) studies on the bristle cone pine showed that deviation from radiocarbon values increases as one moves back in time. Eventually calibration curves were developed to account for this phenomenon; but in the archeological literature we still find dual references to radiocarbon and sidereal, or calendar, time.
The author mentions all of the following as problems with radiocarbon dating EXCEPT for
- A. identification errors by archeological field workers
- B. disparities with the calendar dating system
- C. mistakes by laboratory workers
- D. deterioration of samples
- E. contamination of artifacts
Answer: D

NEW QUESTION 27
SCULPTURE : SHAVING ::
- A. education : opportunity
- B. experiment : hypothesis
- C. analysis : insight
- D. therapy : comfort
- E. burglary : arrest
Answer: E
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
This is a "result of" (process and product) analogy. When engaging in the art of SCULPTURE, especially wood sculpture, the artist produces a SHAVING, which is a byproduct of the sculpting process. When a person commits a burglary, the burglar's arrest is a possible result, or byproduct. Another key to this analogy is that in neither case is the result the actor's main objective or intention.
NEW QUESTION 28
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper
"The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years ago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the local Excello Food Market has increased from SI.50 to over $3.00 per gallon. To prevent farmers from continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparently increased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulate retail milk prices Such regulation is necessary to ensure fair prices for consumers." Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation
Answer:
Explanation:
See the detailed answer in explanation.
Explanation
The letter states a proposal to act as a solution for a given problem. It states that milk producers have increased the price of milk inspite of an increase in the supply, which enables them to receive excessive profits. The given suggestion is that government intervention might be a possible solution for addressing this issue. The proposal has given only a subjective view but has failed to prove how the government intervention might help them reach the required outcome through valid evidences.
Firstly. The letter has failed to address the population growth in the region of Batavia. in the event of considering the supply and demand in a place. It is crucial to take into consideration the population of the place the equal proportion of the growth in the number of dairy farms This might lead to many reasons and it could also dissolve the issue if the population outburst might have happened.
Another major issue that the letter has failed to address is the impact of the general rpice inflation. It is to be understood that in any economy it is imperative that there would be an increase in the price of products and services over a period of time. There could even be an increase in the raw materials, fodder, and medical expenses incurred by the dairy farm owners and milk manufacturers.
The third arbitrary assumption made by the letter would be that the profits are being solely taken by the manufacturers, the labor wages, cost of production and even the cost incurred doing the deliver) might have substantially increased. If various such factors are to be considered then the appropriate solution cannot be just the government intervention and there might be a need for a more comprehensive solution.
To conclude, the letter might appear to have addressed the issue but in reality it has failed to view it from the different dimension and ultimately fails to give a clear responsive view with valued evidences and supportive data.
