QUESTIONS 1-4 (Passage 1: True/False/Not Given - Twin Studies)

📝 Question 1:

There may be genetic causes for the differences in how young the skin of identical twins looks.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage explicitly states that because identical twins share the same genes, "Any differences between them... must be due to environmental factors" such as sun exposure. This directly contradicts the idea of genetic causes for such differences.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is clearly refuted by the core logic of using identical twins to separate nature (genes) from nurture (environment).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "must be due to environmental factors" is a definitive contradiction.

📝 Question 2:

Twins are at greater risk of developing certain illnesses than non-twins.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Not discussed.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text mentions that twin studies help research vulnerability to diseases, but it does not compare the overall risk level of twins versus non-twins for developing illnesses.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Seeing the mention of "illnesses" and assuming a comparison is present.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The specific comparison ("greater risk than non-twins") must be present for a TRUE or FALSE answer.

📝 Question 3:

Bouchard advertised in newspapers for twins who had been separated at birth.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Not discussed.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage discusses Thomas Bouchard's Minnesota Study involving twins separated at birth, but it never specifies the recruitment method (e.g., newspapers, referrals, etc.).
⚠️ Potential Traps: Do not infer the method of recruitment; the detail is missing.
⭐ Key Learning Point: If the text states *what* happened (Bouchard studied separated twins) but not *how* (recruitment method), the answer is NOT GIVEN.

📝 Question 4:

Epigenetic processes are different from both genetic and environmental processes.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text introduces epigenetics as a "third factor" and describes its processes as "tied to neither nature nor nurture" (genes and environment). This confirms they are distinct from both.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The passage also says epigenetics is a "bridge" between them, but its core process is fundamentally separate.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The core concept of epigenetics is that it's a separate mechanism that mediates the effects of the other two.

QUESTIONS 5-9 (Passage 1: Matching Names to Statements)

📝 Question 5:

He was the person who coined the term ‘nature and nurture’.

🔹 Correct Answer: A (Francis Galton)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states that Francis Galton "coined the phrase ‘nature and nurture’" in 1875.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Easy question, requires direct keyword matching.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "coined the phrase" is a clear indicator of the person who created it.

📝 Question 6:

She suggests that the study of epigenetics will increase our understanding of biology.

🔹 Correct Answer: C (Danielle Reed)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Reed says, "Now that we’re actually able to look at the DNA and see where the pencil writings are, it’s sort of a whole new world." This enthusiastic statement signals that epigenetics will open new avenues for biological understanding.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The statement is implied through her use of the metaphor ("whole new world").
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for language that suggests new discoveries or revolutionizing understanding.

📝 Question 7:

He devised a way of determining the extent of genetic influence on a characteristic.

🔹 Correct Answer: A (Francis Galton)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1 & 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: While Bouchard (B) used heritability, Galton "first suggested the approach" to measure the influence of heredity using twins. This initial idea is credited to Galton, establishing the conceptual foundation for measuring genetic influence. The phrasing "devised a way" is a better fit for Galton's pioneering idea than for Bouchard's statistical application.
⚠️ Potential Traps: This can be confused with Bouchard, who *applied* the method. However, Galton is credited with the *original approach* to measuring heredity's influence.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The term "first suggested the approach" points to the deviser of the core idea.

📝 Question 8:

He carried out research into twin pairs who had not met each other as children.

🔹 Correct Answer: B (Thomas Bouchard)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage describes Bouchard's work in the Minnesota Study, which investigated "identical twins who had been separated at birth and reunited as adults." This means they had not met as children.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The statement is a clear description of the subjects in the study conducted by Bouchard.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The key phrase is "separated at birth."

📝 Question 9:

His study involved a number of dual pairs of twins over a long period of time.

🔹 Correct Answer: B (Thomas Bouchard)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states that "Over two decades 137 sets of twins" visited Bouchard’s lab. "Two decades" is a long period, and 137 sets is a large number of pairs.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question requires numerical details (137 sets, two decades) linked to the person.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for quantitative details (timeframe, number of participants) in the description of a study.

QUESTIONS 10-13 (Passage 1: Flow Chart Completion - Epigenetics)

📝 Question 10:

The processes are based on ______ reactions.

🔹 Correct Answer: D (Chemical)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states: "Epigenetic processes are chemical reactions tied to neither nature nor nurture..."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the type of reactions.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The term "chemical reactions" is the direct definition provided.

📝 Question 11:

They determine how genes build parts of the body such as bones and ______.

🔹 Correct Answer: B (Brains)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: These reactions influence gene expression "to build our bones, brains and all the other parts of our bodies."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the second example of a body part listed.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The list structure (A, B, and C) guides the selection.

📝 Question 12:

The study of animals shows that stress experienced during ______ can cause epigenetic changes.

🔹 Correct Answer: E (Pregnancy)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "Studies of animals, for example, have shown that when a rat experiences stress during pregnancy, it can cause epigenetic changes in a fetus..."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the time period during which stress is experienced.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The key context is the environmental factor acting on the fetus.

📝 Question 13:

These changes can lead to ______ as the animal develops.

🔹 Correct Answer: F (Behavioural problems)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The changes "lead to behavioral problems as the rodent grows up."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the outcome in the offspring.
⭐ Key Learning Point: "Lead to" indicates the effect or result of the epigenetic change.

QUESTIONS 14-18 (Passage 2: Multiple Choice - Film Sound)

📝 Question 14:

The writer suggests that film sound should be viewed as

🔹 Correct Answer: B (essential to the artistic success of a film)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The author states we cannot "afford to underestimate the importance of film sound" and that a sound track is "just as much the responsibility of the director" as the image. This emphasizes its critical artistic role.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The paragraph sets an urgent, positive tone about the importance of sound.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The focus is on the sound's contribution to the overall creative outcome.

📝 Question 15:

The writer refers to Humphrey Bogart to illustrate

🔹 Correct Answer: A (how the audience identifies the actor with the character)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text explains: "Thus, for example, the actor Humphrey Bogart is the character Sam Spade; film personality and life personality seem to merge." This demonstrates the audience's identification.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The writer is not focused on his personal life (C), but the perception of his persona (A).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The merging of "film personality and life personality" is the key concept.

📝 Question 16:

What point is made about the film 2001 in the third paragraph?

🔹 Correct Answer: B (The dialogue has a specific role to play in the film's message.)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The dialogue was minimal and banal, but the filmmaker used it to portray the "inadequacy of human responses" compared with technology. This means the dull dialogue had a deliberate, thematic role.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Only focusing on the dialogue being "banal" and missing the interpretation that follows.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the interpretation or intention behind a technical choice.

📝 Question 17:

The dialogue in Bringing Up Baby is used to

🔹 Correct Answer: D (underline the movie's key characteristics)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The non-stop dialogue "underscores" (underlines/emphasizes) the "dizzy quality of the character" and the "absurdity of the film itself and thus its humor." These are the film's key characteristics.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the main purpose of the dialogue, which is to emphasize the film's central themes.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The verb "underscores" is the key link to "underline/emphasize."

📝 Question 18:

The writer refers to a door clicking to show how realistic sounds can be

🔹 Correct Answer: C (modified to manipulate the audience)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: While a normal click enhances realism, if it's for an ominous action, the sound mixer "may call attention to the ‘click’ with an increase in volume" to help "engage the audience in a moment of suspense." This is modification to manipulate emotion.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Option B (enhance realism) is only the basic function. The example is used to show the *manipulative* function.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The focus is on the conscious alteration (increase in volume) to create an emotional effect (suspense).

QUESTIONS 19-23 (Passage 2: True/False/Not Given - Background Music)

📝 Question 19:

The audience’s response to background music is generally immediate.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states that the effects of sound "are often largely subtle and often are noted by only our subconscious minds." This contradicts the idea of an immediate, conscious response.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the effect (mood change) with the speed of realization.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The effect is often subtle and subconscious, not immediate and general (conscious).

📝 Question 20:

Background music may anticipate a development in a film’s plot.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The music often "foreshadows a change in mood." For example, dissonant music "may be used in film to indicate an approaching (but not yet visible) menace or disaster." This is anticipating a plot development.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is a direct synonym match ("anticipate" = "foreshadow").
⭐ Key Learning Point: The core function here is prefiguring events in the narrative.

📝 Question 21:

Background music has a greater effect on some people than on others.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Not discussed.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text discusses the effects of music on the audience generally, but never compares the magnitude of the effect between different audience members.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Do not infer that different effects mean different magnitude of effect on people.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The specific comparison ("greater effect on some people") must be supported by evidence.

📝 Question 22:

Background music can help the viewer connect different sections of a film.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "Background music may aid viewer understanding by linking scenes." The example of a repeated musical theme reminds the audience of "salient motifs or ideas," effectively connecting different parts.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is a clear synonym match ("connect" = "linking scenes").
⭐ Key Learning Point: The use of recurring themes serves a connective narrative function.

📝 Question 23:

Audience awareness of background music is vital to its effectiveness.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The music is "Usually not meant to be noticeable" and its effects are often noted by only our "subconscious minds." This means conscious awareness is *not* vital.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question tries to reverse the fact that the music is *intended* to be subconscious.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The intended effect is often subconscious, which contradicts the idea that awareness is vital.

QUESTIONS 24-26 (Passage 2: Summary Completion - Film Sound)

📝 Question 24:

The audience’s response to film is determined by the sound track

🔹 Correct Answer: C (if voice, sound and music are combined appropriately)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The three ingredients (voice, effects, music) "must be mixed and balanced so as to produce the necessary emphases which in turn create desired effects." This mixing and balancing is the appropriate combination.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The sound track is effective only when its component parts are skillfully integrated.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The desired audience effect depends on technical skill in combining the elements.

📝 Question 25:

The audience becomes aware of a character’s feelings and motivations

🔹 Correct Answer: A (when the audience listens to the dialogue)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Dialogue "serves to tell the story and expresses feelings and motivations of characters as well." Dialogue is the source of this information.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the direct source of information about character feelings.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Dialogue is the primary verbal means for conveying character motivation.

📝 Question 26:

A character seems to be a real person rather than an actor

🔹 Correct Answer: E (when the actor’s appearance, voice, and moves are consistent with each other)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: When "voice textures fit the performer’s physiognomy and gestures" (appearance and moves), a "whole and very realistic persona emerges." Consistency across these elements creates the illusion of reality.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the reason a character feels realistic (i.e., the consistency of various elements).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The combination of voice, appearance, and gestures creates the believable persona.

QUESTIONS 27-32 (Passage 3: Matching Headings - The Design of Language)

📝 Question 27:

Paragraph A

🔹 Correct Answer: vi (Why language is the most important invention of all.)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph A.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The paragraph states, "language must take pride of place" and all other inventions "pale in significance." This emphasizes its paramount importance over all others.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The paragraph is introductory and focuses on establishing the value of the subject.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for superlatives and strong claims in the opening paragraph to determine the main point.

📝 Question 28:

Paragraph B

🔹 Correct Answer: iv (Apparently incompatible characteristics of language.)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The paragraph highlights the "simple yet critical incongruity" that language is mankind's greatest invention—except that it was "never invented." This paradox is the incompatible characteristic.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the internal contradiction described in the paragraph.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Words like "incongruity" and "paradox" signal incompatible characteristics.

📝 Question 29:

Paragraph C

🔹 Correct Answer: ii (The way in which a few sounds are organized to convey a huge range of meaning.)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph C.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The paragraph asks how the language uses "barely three dozen measly morsels of sound" (few sounds) to express an "infinite variety of subtle senses" (huge range of meaning) through organization.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The entire paragraph explores the efficient structure of language.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The contrast between limited input and infinite output is the main idea.

📝 Question 30:

Paragraph D

🔹 Correct Answer: vii (The universal ability to use language.)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage notes that the language machine allows "just about everybody" (universal ability), from foragers to philosophers, to use it "without the slightest exertion."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the widespread, effortless nature of language use.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "just about everybody" signals universality.

📝 Question 31:

Paragraph E

🔹 Correct Answer: i (Differences between languages highlight their impressiveness.)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The paragraph states that the "estrangement of foreign tongues" and their "many exotic and outlandish features" is what "brings home the wonder of languages design" (impressiveness).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The example of Turkish (long words) serves to illustrate the impressive difference.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Diversity (foreign tongues) helps appreciate the design.

📝 Question 32:

Paragraph F

🔹 Correct Answer: v (Even silence can be meaningful.)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Using Sumerian as an example, the paragraph explains that the technology is so fine-tuned that "even a non-sound" (silence), when carefully placed, "has been invested with a specific function" (meaningful).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The point is made through the absence of sound in the Sumerian example.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The final point is the extreme efficiency of the design, where omissions are intentional.

QUESTIONS 33-36 (Passage 3: Summary Completion - The Design of Language)

📝 Question 33:

The wheel and agriculture transformed our ______ existence.

🔹 Correct Answer: E (Material)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph A.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "Other inventions... may have transformed our material existence, but the advent of language is what made us human."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the type of existence transformed by non-language inventions.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The core contrast is between material inventions and language.

📝 Question 34:

Compared to them, language is more ______.

🔹 Correct Answer: G (Fundamental)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph A.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "everything we have ever achieved depends on language and originates from it." This makes language fundamental to all human progress.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Language is described as the origin/basis of everything.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The adjective should capture the idea of being the basis of all achievement.

📝 Question 35:

It is a highly ______ tool.

🔹 Correct Answer: B (Complex)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage refers to language as a tool of "extraordinary sophistication" (highly complex).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for the inherent nature of the tool.
⭐ Key Learning Point: "Extraordinary sophistication" is the description of its complexity.

📝 Question 36:

Its use is deceptively ______.

🔹 Correct Answer: F (Easy)
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The ease of use is stated: "all apparently without the slightest exertion. Yet it is precisely this deceptive ease which makes language a victim of its own success."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is a direct synonym/paraphrase match ("slightest exertion" = "easy").
⭐ Key Learning Point: The adjective must describe the simplicity of the use.

QUESTIONS 37-40 (Passage 3: Yes/No/Not Given - Writer's Opinions)

📝 Question 37:

The writer believes that language has made all other human inventions redundant.

🔹 Correct Answer: NO
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph A.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states other inventions transformed our "material existence" and that language made us human. While language is more important, the other inventions still fulfilled a function, meaning they are not redundant.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question tries to overstate the writer's claim that other inventions "pale in significance." Paling is not the same as being redundant.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Be careful with absolute words like "redundant" when the text only implies less importance.

📝 Question 38:

The writer agrees with the way in which the Port-Royal grammarians described language.

🔹 Correct Answer: YES
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The writer quotes the grammarians and states, "no one since has celebrated more eloquently the magnitude of its achievement." This is strong agreement with their description.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is a clear inference of the writer's opinion based on the language used.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The use of "eloquently celebrated" signals the writer's approval.

📝 Question 39:

It is easier to express a complex idea in a single word than in a whole sentence.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text gives the example of Turkish, which can express a sentence in one word, but it does not comment on the comparative difficulty or ease of doing so.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The fact that some languages *can* do it doesn't mean it's *easier*.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The comparison of difficulty/ease is missing.

📝 Question 40:

The writer suggests that the Sumerians were responsible for starting the documentation of history.

🔹 Correct Answer: YES
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text identifies the Sumerians as the people "who invented writing and thus enabled the documentation of history." This directly supports the statement.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question is a direct synonym/paraphrase match.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The invention of writing is explicitly linked to the beginning of history's documentation.
