Question 1 of 45
1. Question
Category: Summarize a Multi-Paragraph TextBrilliant Octopuses
When thinking of intelligent animals, dolphins and elephants may be the first to come to mind. However, researchers have observed octopuses to be startlingly brilliant creatures. Octopuses have displayed curious behavior, such as pulling out loose tank valves, opening jars, and escaping their tanks when no one was watching. In 2010, a German octopus named Paul was even said to have correctly predicted the outcome of all seven of Germany’s games during the South African World Cup. Octopuses, of which the earth is home to about 300 distinct species, are cephalopods, and have exceptionally large brains for non-mammals.
According to Jennifer Mather, a comparative psychologist at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, the quality that makes octopuses smart is their ability to apply learned information. For example, when given a mussel and a clam to eat, the octopus chose the mussel as they are easier to open. However, when offered clams on the half-shell, the octopus pivoted away from mussels– deciding to go with the new simplified option. These creatures proved capable of complex problem solving. When opening the shells, octopuses employed a variety of techniques, such as chipping away at the shell and injecting the clam with poison to weaken the mollusk, and even using their salivary papilla to drill a hole and inject the toxin. The octopuses chose which strategy to use based on which species they were presented with, and altered their approach to what would work best. As humans, this makes sense to us, but most animals would simply repeat the same technique, despite receiving the same results.
Further evidence of the intelligence of octopuses can be found in their desire to play, a behavioral trait of exceptional animals. Mather and her colleague Roland Anderson placed an octopus and an empty pill bottle in an otherwise empty tank. Although nothing happened at first, eventually the octopus blew water at the bottle, causing it to go over a jet and then return to the octopus. The animal repeated this behavior, similar to what a human might exhibit when bouncing a ball – exploring the options for engaging with a new stimulus. These clever creatures have even been documented shooting water at aquarium workers, and deliberately tampering with various aspects of their tanks, inciting leaks and malfunctions. Octopuses remain a common animal for humans to keep and study in captivity. Their remarkable intelligence and display of complex behavior traits invites study and further consideration, at the very least.

Question 9 of 45
9. Question
Category: Distinguish Between Fact and Opinion to Identify Misconceptions and BiasesWhy Daylight Saving Time?
During World War I, several European countries initiated daylight saving time as a wartime practice to conserve the fuel used by electricity for indoor lighting. It was adopted by the United States shortly afterward, but abandoned due to unpopularity following the end of the war. Reinstated by FDR during World War II, it was rendered optional afterward. Use continued to be optional and therefore created highly irregular and confusing schedules for transportation, radio, and TV throughout the 1960s.
President Johnson ended the confusion in 1966 by signing The Uniform Time Act. However, any state wishing to do so was able to opt out of Daylight Saving Time observance by passing a state law. Today, only Arizona and Hawaii do not observe. Daylight Saving Time is celebrated in the fall by those wishing to gain an hour of sleep, and those in the spring invigorated by the longer days. Unfortunately, children often struggle to adjust to these changes to their schedule, especially where sleep and waking times are concerned. This is particularly irritating for parents. Regardless of your preference for Daylight Saving Time, it seems poised to persist in the United States, temporarily disrupting our schedules twice a year.

Question 13 of 45
13. Question
A study was conducted among college freshmen concerning favorite fruits and test scores. Students were asked their favorite fruit and given their selection as a snack directly before an exam. Evidence has shown that individuals who consume higher amounts of berries and citrus fruits are more likely to score higher on an exam than those that consume more starchy fruits such as bananas and apples. This could be due to the research surrounding berries as high powered ‘brain food’, and the instances of starchy fruits inducing sleepiness.
The pie chart shows the percentage of fruits preferred by college freshmen at Trinity Community College. Which of the following statements is true based on the pie chart and explanation?

16. Question
Strategies for Sleeplessness
Sleep. Elusive for many of us, the majority likely agree that we aren’t getting enough. The stress and unpredictability of the past two years while living through a pandemic have exacerbated sleep issues for many. According to some studies, as many as 30-50% of adults suffer from some type of insomnia. Fortunately, scientists and sleep specialists have identified simple practice steps for better, more fulfilling sleep. Many of the suggested steps are a return to the very basics of sleep hygiene.
First, consider the environment you create for rest. A bedroom should resemble a cave – dark, silent, and cool. If you live in a noisy urban environment, try a white noise machine. Additionally, creating a bedtime routine is just as crucial for adults as it is for children. Following a prescribed set of steps each evening shows the body it is time for sleep. For most, this should include turning off technology (social media, television, your laptop) at least an hour before bedtime. Although the pandemic and stressors of everyday life have made sleep a fleeting experience for many, better rest IS achievable with a few simple tweaks to your habits.What is the structure of the passage?

Category: Evaluate an ArgumentPets for Seniors
With a nationally aging population, nursing homes and assisted living facilities are a necessity throughout the United States. While these places have a multitude of negative and positive connotations, one thing is clear. Giving seniors the responsibility of a pet improves their happiness, life expectancy, and overall well-being. Faced with long monotonous days, the excitement and dependency of a pet gives seniors something to be in charge of and invigorated by. Studies have shown the ownership and responsibility of a cat, dog, hamster, or even a fish, have dramatically improved the outlook of seniors. Pets encourage daily exercises, such as walking, and socialization between residents and their respective animals. Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities have reported that owning a pet fosters joy and love, and reduces stress and boredom.

Category: Using Evidence From the Text to Make Predictions, Inferences, and Draw ConclusionsBinge Drinking and Experimental Drug Use in College Students
All college students are exposed to unprecedented levels of binge drinking and illicit drug use. Early on, they are tempted to engage in these risky behaviors because substances are all around them. Distracting from their studies and contributing to declining mental health, drug and alcohol use is inherently a major problem across college campuses in the United States. One study from the American Addiction Centers found that almost half of all college students nationally displayed symptoms of at least one substance abuse disorder. A 2019 Monitoring the Future Survey discovered the highest instances of the use of marijuana, cocaine, hallucinogens, and MDMA to be among college-aged young adults.
Why are college students so likely to engage in binge drinking and drug use? The answer may lie in turmoil experienced while adapting to a major life change and living in new circumstances. Many college students travel a great distance to their colleges, and live without their families, in particular older, more responsible adults, for the first time. A desire to experiment is a natural inclination, as is the pressure to fit in and assimilate with new peers. College students are also bridled with the double pressure of deadlines, challenging classes, and the novel responsibility to handle it all on their own. Many, unwisely, turn to the temporary escape offered by drugs and alcohol.

Category: Using Evidence From the Text to Make Predictions, Inferences, and Draw ConclusionsLearning From Blue Zones
The Blue Zones, identified by Dan Buettner in 2004, are communities worldwide known for their long and healthy lives. These include Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica; and Loma Linda, California. Despite their cultural differences, all Blue Zones share common practices focused on fitness, eating habits, and mindset, offering valuable strategies for achieving longevity.
A plant-based diet is a norm in these communities, with an emphasis on beans, whole grains, tubers, greens, and nuts. Limited meat consumption and moderate intake of dairy and eggs are observed. Water and tea are the preferred beverages, while moderate wine consumption is also noted in some Blue Zones. Frequent walking plays a significant role in the daily lives of Blue Zone residents, particularly in hilly regions like Okinawa, Sardinia, and Ikaria. Walking serves as a necessary means of transportation and fosters social interaction, contributing to strong community bonds and overall well-being.
The lessons from the Blue Zones offer practical ways to improve our lives and increase our chances of longevity, aligning with the universal goal of living longer and healthier. Continued research and exploration of these communities will provide further insights into their valuable practices and the secrets to their long and happy lives.

Category: Using Evidence From the Text to Make Predictions, Inferences, and Draw ConclusionsRising Sea Levels
Coastal communities, often the most desirable places to live, face numerous risks from climate change. While rising sea levels contribute to flooding, they can also threaten the quality of drinking water. These floods bring salinized water inland, damaging water purification systems and harming the drinking water of local populations. Vulnerable members of a community, such as pregnant people or people with hypertension, are at an increased risk from drinking salinized water. Solutions exist and include specialized systems in desalination plants, sea walls, and dikes, however many of these water utilities are already budget strained and lack the funds and resources necessary to keep up with the increasing demand of climate change. Experts suggest the implementation of “smart water systems”, or a network of advanced sensors that would raise the alarm when an unhealthy level of salinity was reached, and then a contingency plan that includes a backup water source when necessary. Although a potentially costly solution, flooding in coastal communities is a nuisance unlikely to improve in the near future.

Category: Evaluate an ArgumentWhy Breakfast Matters
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, what you choose to ingest is just as important. Beginning your day with a low sugar and hearty meal rooted around vegetables will provide you with energy and jump-start your metabolism. Good for you fats, from foods such as avocados or eggs are always a good idea, as are whole grains in the form of toast or oatmeal. Protein is vital and can be found in nuts, nut butters, and lean meats. Be careful with smoothies and yogurts, as these breakfast items are often hiding high amounts of sugar. However, it is noteworthy that some nutritionists suggest that if you must consume sweets, the best time to do it is first thing in the morning, giving your body the whole day to burn it off. If you’re looking to improve your overall well-being, try starting each day with a protein-packed, vegetable and grain-based breakfast.

Category: Evaluate an ArgumentQuantum Effects in Bird Migration
As children, we learn that birds migrate to warmer climates in the winter. But how do birds know how to find their way? Like sailors of the past, birds used the celestial world above us as a compass. However, scientists have recently discovered birds are able to ‘see’ and use the Earth’s magnetic field as an additional migratory map. Formed photochemically in the eyes of a bird, small quantum effects in brief molecular pieces, called radical pairs, suggest that birds are essentially able to see the magnetic field lines of our Earth and use that as a guide along their journey. Magnetoreception, or using a magnetic field to perceive direction, seems to be equally as important for migrating birds as the stars and other celestial bodies in the skies. Birds’ possession of these special quantum eye traits are so developed that in a laboratory, even if the magnetic field is inverted, birds experience no disruption to their sense of orientation. Next time you observe migrating birds, marvel at their unique capability to navigate between temporal homes, year after year.
“Next time you observe migrating birds, marvel at their unique capability to navigate between temporal homes, year after year.”

Category: Interpret Events in a SequenceMany different engineers are responsible for the concept behind escalators, originally known as “Revolving Stairs”, created in the late nineteenth century. The idea was first developed by engineer Jesse Reno, but credit was ultimately given to Charles Seeberger after a long series of redesigns and negotiations. Seeberger later partnered with Otis Elevator Co., which coincidentally, remains the global leader in escalator and elevator manufacturing to this day. Improved technology has helped guarantee a safer experience for passengers now, but the simple process has remained substantially the same over the years.
