پالت ناوبری سوالات

QUESTIONS 1-4 (Passage 1: True/False/Not Given about the Mary Rose)

📝 Question 1:

There is some doubt about what caused the Mary Rose to sink.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states: "Accounts of what happened to the ship vary," listing three different possible causes (outdated/overladen, sailing too low, mishandled by crew). The existence of varying accounts implies doubt about the exact cause.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing only on what is agreed upon (not hit by the French) and ignoring the differing explanations.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word "vary" in historical contexts often signals uncertainty or doubt.

📝 Question 2:

The Mary Rose was the only ship to sink in the battle of 19 July 1545.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Not discussed.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage confirms the Mary Rose sank in the battle but does not provide information about the fate of any other ships. Therefore, the statement that it was the "only" ship to sink cannot be verified.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Assuming the answer is FALSE because it's a battle. Always verify the detail (the word "only").
⭐ Key Learning Point: For statements with extreme words (only, all, never), the comparison element must be explicitly stated in the text.

📝 Question 3:

Most of one side of the Mary Rose lay undamaged under the sea.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text explains, "Because of the way the ship sank, nearly all of the starboard half survived intact." "Nearly all" is a synonym for "most," and "survived intact" means "undamaged."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Getting confused by the nautical term "starboard" and not recognizing the overall meaning.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for quantitative language ("nearly all," "most," "significant portion") to match the comparison.

📝 Question 4:

Alexander McKee knew that the wreck would contain many valuable historical objects.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage explicitly states that McKee and his team "were as yet unaware that it also housed a treasure trove of beautifully preserved artifacts." This directly contradicts the statement that he "knew" it would be valuable.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Knowing he searched for the wreck and inferring that he must have expected to find treasure.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "unaware that it also housed" is a direct contradiction that makes the statement FALSE.

QUESTIONS 5-8 (Passage 1: Matching Statements about the Mary Rose to Dates)

📝 Question 5:

A search for the Mary Rose was launched.

🔹 Correct Answer: C (1965)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text says, "But in 1965, military historian and amateur diver Alexander McKee... initiated a project called ‘Solent Ships’... what McKee really hoped for was to find the Mary Rose."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the start of the dedicated search (1965) with the chance discovery (1836).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The key phrase is "initiated a project," which signals the start of the deliberate search.

📝 Question 6:

One person’s exploration of the Mary Rose site stopped.

🔹 Correct Answer: B (1840)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text mentions diver John Deane "continued diving on the site intermittently until 1840." This marks the end of his exploration period.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using 1836 (the date of discovery) instead of 1840 (the cessation of diving).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "until [Date]" often indicates the final date of an activity.

📝 Question 7:

It was agreed that the hull of the Mary Rose should be raised.

🔹 Correct Answer: G (1982)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states the operation (to raise the hull) was "not given the go-ahead until January 1982." "Given the go-ahead" means it was formally approved/agreed.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using 1978 (when the possibility was shown) instead of 1982 (when the decision was made).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The decision or agreement date is often distinct from the preparation or feasibility study date.

📝 Question 8:

The site of the Mary Rose was found by chance.

🔹 Correct Answer: A (1836)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage describes the discovery: "Then, on 16 June 1836, some fishermen... found that their equipment was caught on an underwater obstruction." The equipment being "caught" indicates a chance, non-deliberate discovery.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the chance discovery (1836) with the deliberate search start (1965).
⭐ Key Learning Point: "Found by chance" is paraphrased by an accidental event (equipment getting caught).

QUESTIONS 9-13 (Passage 1: Labeling the Diagram of the Mary Rose Hull Raising)

📝 Question 9:

Structure attached to the hull via bolts and lifting wires.

🔹 Correct Answer: (Lifting) frame
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states: "The hull was attached to a lifting frame via a network of bolts and lifting wires."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Not using the noun for the main structure.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the component that is the direct attachment point for the wires.

📝 Question 10:

Equipment used to overcome the suction force of the mud.

🔹 Correct Answer: Hydraulic jacks
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text mentions the problem of suction "was overcome by using 12 hydraulic jacks."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Only providing "jacks" (check word limit and context if unsure, though "hydraulic jacks" is best).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the tool used to solve the physical problem of mud suction.

📝 Question 11:

Elements used to guide the legs of the lifting frame into the cradle.

🔹 Correct Answer: Stabbing guides
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text describes the need for precise positioning to locate the legs into the "stabbing guides" of the lifting cradle.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "legs" or "cradle."
⭐ Key Learning Point: The core function is guiding (precise positioning).

📝 Question 12:

The structure into which the hull was transferred underwater.

🔹 Correct Answer: (Lifting) cradle
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The second stage involved the hull being "transferred underwater into the lifting cradle."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the cradle (the receiver) with the frame (the lifter).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The cradle is where the hull rested during the final lift.

📝 Question 13:

Components providing cushioning for the delicate timber framework.

🔹 Correct Answer: Air bags
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage says the lifting cradle "was fitted with air bags to provide additional cushioning for the hull’s delicate timber framework."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "timber framework," which is what is being protected.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The core function is cushioning/protection.

QUESTIONS 14-20 (Passage 2: Matching Headings to Paragraphs about Easter Island)

📝 Question 14:

Paragraph A: An undisputed answer to a question about the moai

🔹 Correct Answer: ii
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph A.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Paragraph A states that science "has definitively proved the moai builders were Polynesians." A definitive proof is an undisputed answer.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The paragraph also mentions an unanswered question (how they moved them). The heading focuses on the *disputed* question that was resolved.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for phrases like "definitively proved" or "beyond doubt" to signal an undisputed answer.

📝 Question 15:

Paragraph B: Diminishing food resources

🔹 Correct Answer: ix
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Paragraph B discusses trees being scarce, inability to construct canoes for fishing, eating birds, and soil erosion decreasing crop yields. All these points relate to a reduction in available food.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the cause (deforestation) with the effect (diminishing resources).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for a chain of events related to the environment and sustenance.

📝 Question 16:

Paragraph C: How the statues made a situation worse

🔹 Correct Answer: viii
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph C.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Diamond's view is that the moai "accelerated the self-destruction." Building bigger figures required more wood and people, which led to "even more land had to be cleared." This shows the statues exacerbated the problem.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing only on the competition aspect instead of the resulting environmental damage.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word "accelerated" is the key link to making the situation worse.

📝 Question 17:

Paragraph D: Evidence of innovative environment management practices

🔹 Correct Answer: i
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Paragraph D lists positive Rapanui actions: "heroic efforts to protect the resources," building stone windbreaks, and using volcanic rocks to keep soil moist. These are examples of innovative management.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Missing the contrast in this paragraph (Rapanui were careful stewards, not destroyers).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for a list of solutions or protective measures as evidence of management practices.

📝 Question 18:

Paragraph E: A theory which supports a local belief

🔹 Correct Answer: iv
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Hunt and Lipo's theory that the moai were "walked upright" is supported because, as the text notes, "archaeological evidence backs up Rapanui folklore." Folklore is a local belief.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on the movement method and missing the link to the folklore.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word "folklore" is the direct synonym for "local belief."

📝 Question 19:

Paragraph F: Destruction outside the inhabitants’ control

🔹 Correct Answer: vii
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: This paragraph introduces the theory that Polynesian rats prevented the reseeding of palm trees. The action of the rats is an ecological factor outside the settlers' direct control.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the settlers bringing the rats (an action) with the rats' destructive consumption (an uncontrollable ecological event).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for mention of a natural force/agent (rats) that caused destruction independent of human choice.

📝 Question 20:

Paragraph G: Two opposing views about the Rapanui people

🔹 Correct Answer: vi
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph G.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The final paragraph summarizes the contrast: Hunt/Lipo's view of Rapanui as "peaceful and ingenious... careful stewards" versus the view of them as "reckless destroyers." This is a clear contrast between two views of the people.
⚠️ Potential Traps: This is a summarizing paragraph; look for key contrasting vocabulary.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The function of a concluding paragraph is often to juxtapose or summarize contrasting viewpoints.

QUESTIONS 21-24 (Passage 2: Completing the Summary about Jared Diamond's View)

📝 Question 21:

The Rapanui cleared the forests for firewood and for ______.

🔹 Correct Answer: Farming
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states: "When the islanders cleared the forests for firewood and farming..."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is a direct gap-fill from the text's list.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Sequence of words often indicates the correct answer in summary completion.

📝 Question 22:

They could no longer build ______ for fishing.

🔹 Correct Answer: Canoes
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states: "As trees became scarce and they could no longer construct wooden canoes for fishing..."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "wooden" (an adjective) instead of the noun.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word 'for' often precedes the purpose of an object.

📝 Question 23:

So, the islanders had to use ______ as a food source instead.

🔹 Correct Answer: Birds
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text continues: "...they could no longer construct wooden canoes for fishing, they ate birds."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The logic is: no canoes $\rightarrow$ no fish $\rightarrow$ ate birds.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The summary often follows the cause-and-effect chain described in the text.

📝 Question 24:

Transporting the statues also demanded a great deal of ______.

🔹 Correct Answer: Wood
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph C.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Diamond’s view is that transport "required both a lot of wood and a lot of people."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "log rails" or "people" instead of the overarching resource.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The core need for transport was timber resources.

QUESTIONS 25 & 26 (Passage 2: Disagreements Between Hunt and Lipo and Diamond)

📝 Question 25 & 26:

Which TWO points of disagreement between Hunt and Lipo and Diamond are mentioned?

🔹 Correct Answers: B (how the moai were transported) and C (the impact of the moai on Rapanui society)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraphs C and E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer (B): Diamond believed the moai were moved on wooden sledges (Paragraph C); Hunt and Lipo argue they were 'walked' upright with no wood (Paragraph E). This is a clear disagreement over the transport method.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer (C): Diamond saw the moai as causing rivalry and social collapse (Paragraph C); Hunt and Lipo contend moai-building helped keep the peace and fostered cooperation (Paragraph E). This is a clear disagreement over the social impact.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Option D is partially supported (rats), but B and C represent more fundamental disagreements about the moai themselves.
⭐ Key Learning Point: In MCQ, choose the options that reflect the strongest and most central points of contrast in the argument.

QUESTIONS 27-30 (Passage 3: Analyzing the Impact and Perception of Art)

📝 Question 27:

The shape-matching test is mentioned to illustrate...

🔹 Correct Answer: C (our tendency to be influenced by the opinions of others)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The test is used to show people will choose a "definitively wrong answer if they see others doing the same." The writer links this to art appreciation where "there is no right or wrong answer," showing how others' choices influence ours.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the test with the main topic (art). The test serves as an analogy for social conformity.
⭐ Key Learning Point: When a text uses an analogy, the answer relates to the principle demonstrated by the analogy.

📝 Question 28:

Hawley-Dolan’s experiment indicated that people...

🔹 Correct Answer: D (have the ability to perceive the intention behind works of art)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Volunteers preferred the work of renowned artists even when told it was by animals or children. The conclusion is that "It seems that the viewer can sense the artist’s vision in paintings." Artistic vision is the intention behind the work.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Assuming people preferred the art *because* it was by a famous artist (Option A); the experiment controlled for this knowledge.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The ability to sense a vision/intention independent of the artist's identity is the key finding.

📝 Question 29:

Studies using Robert Pepperell’s work suggested that people...

🔹 Correct Answer: B (find it satisfying to work out what a painting represents)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The ambiguous images were seen as "puzzles," and the writer concludes, "the harder it is to decipher the meaning, the more rewarding is the moment of recognition." "Rewarding" is a synonym for "satisfying."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on the neural activity and missing the psychological conclusion.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The key phrase is the rewarding nature of solving the puzzle.

📝 Question 30:

Eye-tracking studies involving Mondrian’s work demonstrated that his paintings...

🔹 Correct Answer: A (They are more carefully put together than they appear)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The studies showed that Mondrian's works are "deceptively simple, but... meticulously composed." This directly supports the idea that they are more carefully constructed than their simple appearance suggests.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on the fact that altered versions were less pleasurable instead of the reason *why* they were less pleasurable (due to the meticulous original composition).
⭐ Key Learning Point: "Deceptively simple" and "meticulously composed" are the key contrasting concepts.

QUESTIONS 31-33 (Passage 3: Unveiling the Neurological Basis of Art Appreciation)

📝 Question 31:

Blurred images in Impressionist paintings: Activates the amygdala, which is linked to processing (C) emotions.

🔹 Correct Answer: C (Emotions)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states: "The blurred imagery... seems to stimulate the brain’s amygdala... Since the amygdala plays a crucial role in our feelings, that finding might explain why many people find these pieces so moving." "Feelings" and "moving" are synonyms for emotion.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the related psychological function, not the brain part.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The table requires matching the neurological action to its psychological outcome.

📝 Question 32:

Artwork that is neither too simple nor too complicated: A certain level of (B) complexity engages the brain optimally.

🔹 Correct Answer: B (Complexity)
📍 Location in Passage: Final Paragraph.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Forsythe analyzed the visual "intricacy" (a synonym for complexity) and found artists use a "key level of detail to please the brain." Too little is boring, too much is "perceptual overload."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "detail," which is a component of complexity.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The concept being balanced (neither simple nor complicated) is visual complexity.

📝 Question 33:

Fractal patterns in both abstract and representational art: These are repeated natural ______ (H) images that the visual system finds easier to process.

🔹 Correct Answer: H (Images)
📍 Location in Passage: Final Paragraph.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text defines fractals as "repeated motifs recurring in different scales" (natural images like mountain peaks/tree branches). The closest fit to the blank's meaning of "repeated natural shapes/visuals" is "images."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "motifs" or "patterns," which are not options.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The options are nouns representing visual elements (images, complexity, shape, movement).

QUESTIONS 34-39 (Passage 3: Evaluating the Writer's Perspective on Art and Science)

📝 Question 34:

Forsythe’s findings are contrary to what many people previously thought about fractals in art.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Final Paragraph.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage presents Forsythe's findings about fractals but does not mention what people previously thought about them or whether the findings are contrary to any existing belief.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The writer doesn't mention whether her findings confirmed or contradicted previous beliefs.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The comparison element ("contrary to what many people previously thought") is missing, making the answer NOT GIVEN.

📝 Question 35:

The suggestion about the role of mirror neurons in art appreciation is a hypothesis that needs to be tested.

🔹 Correct Answer: YES
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: After describing the mirror neuron idea, the text explicitly says: "The hypothesis will need to be thoroughly tested, however." This directly supports the statement.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is a direct synonym match.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words like "hypothesis," "theory," and "tested" to confirm the statement.

📝 Question 36:

People’s taste in paintings is largely determined by the fashions of the day.

🔹 Correct Answer: NO
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The writer concedes that "fashions of the time might shape what is currently popular," but adds that works "best adapted to our visual system may be the most likely to linger." This suggests biological factors also play a strong, lasting role, meaning taste is *not* largely/solely determined by fashion.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Misinterpreting "might shape" as "is largely determined."
⭐ Key Learning Point: The writer presents a balanced view (fashion + visual system), contradicting the absolute claim in the question.

📝 Question 37:

The scientific study of art appreciation should aim to establish a set of rules that govern people’s reactions to works of art.

🔹 Correct Answer: NO
📍 Location in Passage: Final Paragraph.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The writer concludes, "It would, however, be foolish to reduce art appreciation to a set of scientific laws." This directly contradicts the statement that the aim should be to establish rules.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Missing the cautious/warning tone of the final paragraph.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The explicit statement that it would be "foolish" is the clear indicator for NO.

📝 Question 38:

An artist’s body of work must be considered in order to appreciate a single painting by that artist.

🔹 Correct Answer: YES
📍 Location in Passage: Final Paragraph.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The writer states: "We shouldn’t underestimate the importance of the style of a particular artist, their place in history and the artistic environment of their time." Considering the artist's style and historical place is necessary for appreciation.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing only on the science part and missing the writer's final reminder about non-scientific factors.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The writer affirms the importance of traditional art history factors in the conclusion.

📝 Question 39:

It is easier to find meaning in science than in art.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Final Paragraph.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage says that art is "not so different to science," as both involve "constantly looking for systems and decoding meaning." However, it does not compare the *ease* of finding meaning in the two fields.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The comparison element ("easier") is missing.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Both are presented as quests for meaning, but their relative difficulty is NOT GIVEN.

QUESTION 40 (Passage 3: Choosing the Most Appropriate Subtitle)

📝 Question 40:

Which of the following is the most appropriate subtitle for the article?

🔹 Correct Answer: A. Some scientific insights into how the brain responds to abstract art.
📍 Location in Passage: Throughout the article.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The article primarily discusses the new field of neuroaesthetics (science) and presents studies (Hawley-Dolan, Mondrian, Pepperell, Forsythe) that explore the brain's reaction (response) to abstract art. This accurately captures the main topic.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Option C is too broad; the focus is heavily skewed toward abstract art, not a general comparison.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The subtitle must reflect the main content and evidence presented in the majority of the paragraphs.
