The following text is from Edith Wharton’s 1905 novel The House of Mirth.

Lily had no real intimacy with nature, but she had a passion for the appropriate and could not help seeing that the conditions of her life were as little in harmony with her surroundings as a delicate hothouse plant set out in a bleak November wind. The picnic, with its clamorous festivities, its noisy laughter, its air of deliberate enjoyment, struck her as profoundly alien to her mood. She was in the key of minor emotions; the whole spectacle jarred upon her.

Based on the text, what does Wharton most likely mean when she describes the picnic as “profoundly alien” to Lily’s mood?

Lily dislikes the people attending the picnic and wishes to avoid them.
The lively, carefree atmosphere of the picnic is completely at odds with Lily’s inner state.
Lily feels that the outdoor setting is uncomfortable and inhospitable.
The picnic’s elaborate planning strikes Lily as unnecessarily wasteful.

The following text is from Jack London’s 1903 novel The Call of the Wild. Buck has just arrived in the Klondike.

No lazy, sun-kissed life was this, with nothing to do but loaf and be bored. Here was neither peace, nor rest, nor a moment’s safety. All was confusion and action, and every moment life and limb were in peril. There was imperative need to be constantly alert; for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They were savages, all of them, who knew no law but the law of club and fang.

Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?

It describes Buck’s longing for his comfortable former life by contrasting it with the harsh realities of his new environment.
It conveys the unrelenting danger and urgency of Buck’s new environment, where survival demands constant vigilance.
It argues that dogs in the Klondike are treated more harshly than those in towns and cities.
It shows how Buck gradually adapts to the customs and behavior of the other sled dogs.

Researchers have long studied the connection between sleep deprivation and cognitive impairment. A recent meta-analysis of over 90 studies confirmed that even mild sleep restriction—losing one to two hours per night for several nights—measurably reduces attention, working memory, and reaction time.

Surprisingly, the same meta-analysis found that individuals who reported feeling only slightly impaired after sleep restriction performed just as poorly as those who reported feeling severely impaired.

Which choice best states the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?

It questions the reliability of self-reported data in sleep research studies.
It introduces an unexpected finding that complicates the relationship between perceived and actual cognitive impairment.
It provides evidence that sleep deprivation has a more severe impact on reaction time than on memory.
It confirms that most people are accurate judges of their own cognitive decline.

Bioluminescence—the ability of living organisms to produce and emit light—has evolved independently in numerous marine species. Scientists have hypothesized that in deep-sea fish, bioluminescence may serve a communicative function during mating. To test this, researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute observed 47 species of deep-sea fish over three years and recorded the frequency and pattern of bioluminescent displays during mating seasons versus non-mating periods. The researchers found that 83% of species showed significantly increased bioluminescent activity during mating seasons.

Based on the text, what is one reason the researchers’ findings support the hypothesis about bioluminescence?

The researchers observed that bioluminescent fish are more abundant in the deep sea than non-bioluminescent fish.
The increased bioluminescent activity during mating seasons suggests the displays may play a role in mate attraction or communication.
The study demonstrated that removing bioluminescent capability from fish reduced their overall survival rates.
The findings proved that bioluminescence evolved primarily for predator avoidance rather than communication.

George Orwell’s 1984 is a 1949 novel set in a totalitarian state. In the novel, the narrator conveys that citizens are under constant government surveillance, leaving them with no possibility of private thought or behavior: ______.

Which quotation from 1984 most effectively illustrates the claim?

“He had moved a little to one side, so that the telescreen could not see his face, and wrote: April 4th, 1984.”
“There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork.”
“The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it.”
“He thought of the telescreen with its never-sleeping ear. They could spy upon you night and day.”

Regenerative agriculture practices, such as cover cropping and reduced tillage, are increasingly promoted as methods to restore soil health and sequester carbon. However, transitioning to these practices often requires significant upfront investment and a period of reduced yields, which can deter adoption among farmers operating on tight margins. Government subsidies have been proposed as a solution, but critics argue that subsidy programs tend to favor large-scale operations over small and mid-size farms. Consequently, ______

Which choice most logically completes the text?

regenerative agriculture may become standard practice within a decade if research into soil health continues to advance.
without more equitable support structures, the farmers who could benefit most from transitioning may remain least likely to do so.
large farms are better positioned to bear the costs of transition and should therefore lead the shift to regenerative practices.
the environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture remain unproven and should not yet influence agricultural policy.

Psychologist Dr. Leila Hartman conducted a study investigating whether listening to music while studying improves academic performance. Hartman randomly assigned 200 university students to one of three conditions: studying in silence, studying with classical music, or studying with lyrical pop music. After a two-week study period, students took a standardized comprehension test. Students in the silence condition scored an average of 82%, those with classical music scored 80%, and those with pop music scored 74%.

A classmate claims that music consistently improves academic performance. Which choice best describes data from the study that weaken the classmate’s claim?

Students who studied in silence outperformed both music groups, and students who listened to pop music performed worst of all three groups.
The difference between the classical music group (80%) and the silence group (82%) was small enough to be within a margin of error.
Students who listened to pop music scored lower than those who listened to classical music, indicating that not all music has the same effect.
All three groups demonstrated comprehension above 70%, suggesting that studying method had little overall impact on performance.
