experience different temperatures. Eliminate (A) because there is no comparison with
modern baths, and eliminate (B) because gyms are not mentioned. Choice (D) is incorrect
because unparalleled in history goes too far. Choice (C) is correct.
C The second-to-last sentence in the last paragraph states that the baths at their best were
public art museums and museums of contemporary art. Choice (C) reflects this idea and
is the correct answer. The other answer choices have some relevance to the passage, but the
phrase “most exemplary” in the question makes (C) correct.
D The previous answer is best supported by the sentence the baths at their best were public
art museums and museums of contemporary art. Therefore, (D) is correct.
A The passage states that most public baths had an unheated frigidarium partly open to the
sky. The graphic also includes a frigidarium in the center of the structure. Therefore, (A) is
supported by both the passage and the diagram. Choice (B) is supported by the graphic, but
there is no mention of palestrae in the passage. Therefore, (B) is incorrect. While the
passage mentions that commercial contractors built public baths and the graphic shows a
rectangular structure, there is no evidence that contractors always built baths in this shape;
(C) is incorrect. And the passage never mentions natatio, so there is no evidence that this is
where hoop-rolling and wrestling occurred, so (D) is incorrect. The answer is (A).
C Palma argues that women should be allowed to vote, so he is not discussing both sides of
the issue; he is focusing specifically on the arguments in support of one side of the issue.
Thus, (A) is incorrect. Palma is arguing in favor of a reform—the right for women to vote
—not cautioning against reform, so (B) is incorrect. Giving women the right to vote is a
social change. Palma argues for this change, so (C) accurately describes Palma’s role when
giving the speech. Palma is a politician, but his focus is on rousing support for a bill that
will give women the right to vote, not gaining support for his party. Therefore, (D) is
incorrect. Choice (C) is the answer.
B The passage does not provide any information about those who supported Palma, so (A) is
incorrect. In the first paragraph, Palma states that he is advocating a cause that cannot be
represented or defended in this chamber—that is, in the chamber of the legislature—by
those directly and particularly affected by it. Those directly and particularly affected
would be women. Palma is saying that women could not defend their own cause in the
legislature, which supports the idea that women were not allowed to speak before the
Filipino legislature at that time; thus, (B) is correct. Palma does not discuss whether other
Filipino leaders of his time supported female suffrage, so (C) is incorrect. The passage
does not discuss how members of the legislature viewed women, so (D) is also incorrect.
D In the sentence in question, Palma says that we cannot detain the celestial bodies in their
course; neither can we check any of those moral movements. A good replacement word
for check is something like “detain,” so go to the answer choices to find one that has a
meaning like “detain.” Certify, inspect, and advise all have meanings that are different from
the meaning of the word detain, while stop has a similar meaning, so the correct answer is
(D).
