so eliminate it. Choice (B) is the answer.
B Passage 1 does not focus on determining the subject of the frieze—that’s only in the first
paragraph. Eliminate (A). Passage 2 considers how Greek citizens might have viewed the
frieze, but Passage 1 does not. Eliminate (C). Passage 1 also does not entirely reject the
traditional perspective, so eliminate (D). Passage 1 does give a detailed description of the
figures in the second paragraph, so (B) is the correct answer.
D Think about the evidence in the passage that helped you answer the previous question:
Passage 1 gives a detailed description of the figures in the frieze in the second paragraph.
Only (D) references lines that give a detailed description of figures in the frieze, so (D) is
the correct answer.
C Choice (A) is incorrect because the mules are not unusual. They are an example familiar to
many people to help readers understand what the author is describing. Choice (B) is
incorrect because the mules are not part of a counterargument. Choice (D) is partially true
in that sterile mules are part of the larger argument that the whiptails are unusual; however,
the specific purpose of mentioning the sterile mules at that point in the passage is to give an
example of why scientists believe that hybrids are sterile. Thus, (C) is correct.
D The lizards are unusual to the point of being remarkable, so (D) is correct. They are not
especially beautiful, (A), or conspicuous, (B). Choice (C) is a trap because aggressive is
related to striking but not contextually correct in this instance.
A The scientists do seem to be friends, as stated in (D), but the best description of their
relationship in this article is as a team of scientists working on parthenogenesis, so (A) is
correct. They are not rivals, so (B) is incorrect. Stowers is an institute where Dr. Neaves
served as president, so they were not trying to disprove theories from Stowers, which
makes (C) incorrect.
C Choices (A) and (B) are too extreme, so they are incorrect. Choice (D) refers to something
that often happens in evolution, but evolution itself doesn’t isolate populations. Choice (C)
mirrors what is said in the passage and is the correct answer.
A Think about the evidence in the passage that helped you answer the previous question.
Choice (A) is correct, since the line The evolution of a new animal species is usually a
drawn-out affair supports the idea that evolution usually takes many years to happen.
Choices (B), (C), and (D) do not support this and are therefore incorrect.
C The Doctor thought it was a good time to move forward due to the new technology
available, so it was an opportune moment, (C). The passage implies that it’s taken a long
time, but an hour late, (B), is too short a time. It’s not a festival, so (A) is incorrect, nor is it
a lofty ideal, making (D) incorrect.
B Choices (A), (C), and (D) are mentioned in the passage and are aspects of parthenogenesis.
Choice (B) is mentioned, but only the female lizards can clone themselves, so any cells
