QUESTIONS 1-7

📝 Question 1:
"People had expected Andy Murray to become the world’s top tennis player for at least five years before 2016."

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Five years previously, he had been regarded as a talented outsider who entered but never won the major tournaments."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
This statement suggests that people did not expect Andy Murray to become the world’s top tennis player.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
The phrase "talented outsider" might mislead readers into thinking he was always seen as a future champion.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Carefully examine how expectations are described—being talented does not always mean people expected victory.

📝 Question 2:
"The change that Andy Murray made to his rackets attracted a lot of attention."

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Another change was so subtle as to pass more or less unnoticed."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The phrase "pass more or less unnoticed" means the change did not attract much attention.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Readers might assume that any change made by a top player would be widely discussed.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Look for keywords like "subtle" and "unnoticed" to determine whether a change was significant or not.

📝 Question 3:
"Most of the world’s top players take a professional racket stringer on tour with them."

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Touring professionals have their rackets customised to their specific needs," says Colin Triplow, a UK-based professional racket stringer.

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
This confirms that professional players get custom rackets but does not specify whether they take a stringer on tour.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming customization means a stringer always travels with them.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
If the passage does not explicitly confirm a fact, the correct answer is NOT GIVEN.

📝 Question 4:
"Mike and Bob Bryan use rackets that are light in comparison to the majority of rackets."

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"The rackets they use now weigh more than the average model."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
Since their rackets weigh more than average, they are not considered light.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Misinterpreting "more than average" as referring to something other than weight.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Pay attention to direct comparisons in the passage.

📝 Question 5:
"Werner Fischer played with a spaghetti-strung racket that he designed himself."

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Racket modifications mainly date back to the 1970s, when the amateur German tennis player Werner Fischer started playing with the so-called spaghetti-strung racket."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The passage states that he played with the racket but does not confirm whether he designed it.

⚠️ Potential Traps:

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Distinguish between using something and creating it.

📝 Question 6:
"The weather can affect how professional players adjust the strings on their rackets."

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"They will continually change it depending on various factors including the court surface, climatic conditions, and game styles. Some will even change it depending on how they feel at the time."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
Since "climatic conditions" include weather, this confirms that weather affects racket string adjustments.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Not recognizing that "climatic conditions" refers to weather.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Synonyms in the passage might describe the concept differently than in the question.

📝 Question 7:
"It was believed that the change Pete Sampras made to his rackets contributed to his strong serve."

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Much of the serving power of US professional player Pete Sampras was attributed to the addition of four to five lead weights onto his rackets."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The phrase "serving power... attributed to..." confirms that the lead weights were believed to have strengthened his serve.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Confusing "attributed to" with certainty rather than belief.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Watch for phrases that indicate belief or assumption rather than proven fact.

Questions 8-13

📝 Question 8:
"Mike and Bob Bryan made changes to the types of .... used on their racket frames."

🔹 Correct Answer: Paint

🔹 Correct Answer: Topspin

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Werner Fischer's spaghetti-strung racket created a string bed that generated so much topspin that it was quickly banned by the International Tennis Federation."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The excessive topspin generated by the racket led to its ban.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Confusing topspin with power or control.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Certain technological advancements in sports can be deemed unfair and subsequently banned.

Look for synonyms—denial and rejection are closely related.

📝 Question 15:
"Which paragraph describes how a campaign to eradicate piracy was carried out?"

🔹 Correct Answer: G

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Pompey the Great was given vast resources to fight piracy and divided the Mediterranean into 13 districts. He systematically cleared each district until all pirates were eliminated."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
This provides a detailed account of Pompey’s systematic campaign against piracy.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming the passage only mentions battles rather than a full campaign strategy.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
An eradication campaign involves strategic planning, not just individual fights.

📝 Question 16:
"Which paragraph explains the circumstances in which states in the ancient world would make use of pirates?"

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location of the Answer:
"It was not uncommon for governments in the ancient world to employ pirates, especially during wartime. They valued the pirates' skills and numbers and used them against enemies."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
This describes when and why states hired pirates—primarily during war.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming pirates always acted independently rather than as state agents.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Governments sometimes used pirates as unofficial naval forces.

📝 Question 17:
"Which paragraph contains a reference to how people today commonly view pirates?"

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location of the Answer:
"The first sentence of Paragraph A describes the stereotypical image most people have of pirates, such as being on tall ships in the Caribbean."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:

Stereotypes often differ from historical reality, so be mindful of how the passage presents each.

📝 Question 18:
"Which paragraph explains how some people were encouraged not to return to piracy?"

🔹 Correct Answer: G

📍 Location of the Answer:
"After defeating the pirates, Pompey instituted a long-term solution: many pirates were given land in fertile areas far from the sea, encouraging them to become farmers."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
This explains how former pirates were reintegrated into society to prevent them from returning to piracy.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming all pirates were executed rather than rehabilitated.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Effective anti-piracy strategies included social solutions, not just military action.

📝 Question 19:
"Which paragraph mentions the need for many sailing vessels to stay relatively close to land?"

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Before the invention of ocean-going caravels in the 15th century, ships couldn't travel long distances over open water and had to stay close to the coastline."

B   They managed to escape capture by the authorities because they knew the area so well.

C   They paid for information about the routes merchant ships would take.

D  They depended more on the sea for their livelihood than on farming.

E   They stored many of the goods taken in pirate attacks in coves along the coastline.

🔹 Correct Answer: B & D

📍 Location of the Answer:

• Paragraph B: Discusses how geography influenced the inhabitants' reliance on the sea and their connection to piracy.
• Paragraph D: Highlights that certain areas were unsuitable for farming, leading people to depend on marine resources.

📝 Statement:
"They managed to escape capture by the authorities because they knew the area so well."

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Geography itself further benefited the pirates, with the numerous coves along the coast providing places for them to hide their boats and strike undetected. ...knowledge of the local area helped the pirates to avoid retaliation once a state fleet arrived."

Pirates used their deep knowledge of the region’s geography to evade capture.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming pirates had superior weapons or larger fleets rather than relying on geographic advantages.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Familiarity with terrain and strategic hiding spots played a crucial role in piracy.

📝 Statement:
"They depended more on the sea for their livelihood than on farming."

🔹 Correct Answer: D

📍 Location of the Answer:
"While the Mediterranean region is predominantly fertile, some parts are rugged and hilly, even mountainous. In ancient times, the inhabitants of these areas relied heavily on marine resources, including fish and salt."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The passage explains that difficult terrain forced people to rely on the sea rather than agriculture.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Mistaking this for a statement about all Mediterranean inhabitants rather than specific regions.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Economic reliance on the sea was influenced by geography, not just choice.

Instead of simply killing captives, pirates saw an opportunity for profit through ransom payments.

Questions 27-30

📝 Question 27:
 

🔹 Correct Answer: D – There may be a number of reasons for the spread of misinformation.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Misinformation – both deliberately promoted and accidentally shared – is perhaps an inevitable part of the world in which we live, but it is not a new problem. People likely have lied to one another for roughly as long as verbal communication has existed. Deceiving others can offer an apparent opportunity to gain strategic advantage, to motivate others to action, or even to protect interpersonal bonds. Moreover, people inadvertently have been sharing inaccurate information with one another for thousands of years."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The passage highlights multiple reasons for the spread of misinformation, including deliberate deception for strategic gain, unintentional errors, and social motivations like maintaining relationships.

📝 Question 28:
 

🔹 Correct Answer: A – It may at some point provide us with a solution to misinformation.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"However, we currently live in an era in which technology enables information to reach large audiences distributed across the globe, and thus the potential for immediate and widespread effects from misinformation now looms larger than in the past. Yet the means to correct misinformation might, over time, be found in those same patterns of mass communication and of the facilitated spread of information."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
While technology accelerates the spread of misinformation, the same tools that enable its rapid distribution may also help combat it in the future.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming the passage only discusses the negative impact of technology on misinformation.

📝 Question 29:
 

🔹 Correct Answer: C – Outlining which issues connected with misinformation are significant today.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"At least three observations related to misinformation in the contemporary mass-media environment warrant the attention of researchers, policy makers, and really everyone who watches television, listens to the radio, or reads information online. First of all, people who encounter misinformation tend to believe it, at least initially. Secondly, electronic and print media often do not block many types of misinformation before it appears in content available to large audiences. Thirdly, countering misinformation once it has enjoyed wide exposure can be a resource-intensive effort."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The paragraph explicitly presents three major issues related to misinformation in modern mass media.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Mistaking this as a general discussion rather than a structured outline of key issues.

📝 Question 30:
 

🔹 Correct Answer: D – Regulation fails to prevent misinformation from appearing in the media.

📍 Location of the Answer:
"In support of this, one might consider the nature of regulatory structures in the United States: regulatory agencies here tend to focus on post hoc detection of broadcast information. Organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) offer considerable monitoring and notification functions, but these roles typically do not involve preemptive censoring. The FDA oversees direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising, for example, and has developed mechanisms such as the 'Bad Ad' program, through which people can report advertising in apparent violation of FDA guidelines on drug risks. Such programs, although laudable and useful, do not keep false advertising off the airwaves."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
Regulatory agencies act after misinformation has already spread rather than preventing it from being broadcast.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming that regulation effectively stops misinformation rather than just addressing it after the fact.

Questions 31-36

📝 Question 31:
"What does the passage suggest about people's exposure to misinformation?"

🔹 Correct Answer: G – Frequent exposure

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Although it is fairly routine for individuals to come across information that is false, the question of exactly how – and when – we mentally label information as true or false has garnered philosophical debate."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The phrase "fairly routine" indicates that encountering misinformation happens often.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Confusing frequent exposure with intentional belief—just because people encounter misinformation frequently doesn’t mean they always believe it.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
People regularly come across misinformation, making exposure a key issue in how they process information.

📝 Question 32:
"What does the passage say about the ideas of Descartes and Spinoza?"

🔹 Correct Answer: J – Different ideas

📍 Location of the Answer:
"The dilemma is neatly summarized by a contrast between how the 17th-century philosophers Rene Descartes and Baruch Spinoza described human information engagement, with conflicting predictions that only recently have been empirically tested in robust ways."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The mention of "contrast" and "conflicting predictions" confirms that these two philosophers had different viewpoints.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming they had similar perspectives rather than opposing theories.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Recognizing contrasts in the text helps identify opposing viewpoints.

📝 Question 33:
"What does Spinoza suggest about how people process misinformation?"

🔹 Correct Answer: H – Mental operation

📍 Location of the Answer:
"Spinoza argued that people accept all encountered information (or misinformation) by default and then subsequently verify or reject it through a separate cognitive process."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The "separate cognitive process" aligns with the concept of a distinct mental operation.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Misinterpreting this as immediate skepticism rather than a delayed verification process.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Understanding how the brain separates initial acceptance from later verification is key to misinformation studies.

📝 Question 34:
"What supports Spinoza’s view of information processing?"

🔹 Correct Answer: B – Additional evidence

📍 Location of the Answer:
"In recent decades, empirical evidence from the research teams of Erik Asp of the University of Chicago and Daniel Gilbert at Harvard University, among others, has supported Spinoza’s account."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The phrase "has supported Spinoza’s account" indicates that research has provided further evidence for his theory.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Confusing supporting evidence with new theories—this research reinforces an existing idea rather than proposing a new one.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Scientific studies often provide empirical backing for philosophical ideas.

📝 Question 35:
"How long do people initially accept information as true?"

🔹 Correct Answer: E – Short period

📍 Location of the Answer:
"People appear to encode all new information as if it were true, even if only momentarily, and later tag the information as being either true or false."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The phrase "even if only momentarily" confirms that this acceptance lasts for a short period.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming momentary belief means permanent belief.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Initial acceptance of information is a cognitive shortcut that is later refined through reasoning.

📝 Question 36:
"Where in the brain do skepticism and information processing occur?"

🔹 Correct Answer: C – Different locations

📍 Location of the Answer:
"A pattern that seems consistent with the observation that mental resources for skepticism physically reside in a different part of the brain than the resources used in perceiving and encoding."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
This statement directly confirms that different brain areas handle skepticism and information processing.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming skepticism and information processing happen in the same cognitive space.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Understanding how different brain functions are localized helps explain why misinformation initially seems true.

Questions 37-40

📝 Question 37:
"Campaigns designed to correct misinformation will fail to achieve their purpose if people are unable to understand them."

🔹 Correct Answer: YES

📍 Location of the Answer:
"For corrective campaigns to be persuasive, audiences need to be able to comprehend them, which requires either effort to frame messages in ways that are accessible or effort to educate and sensitize audiences to the possibility of misinformation."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The passage clearly states that comprehension is essential for corrective campaigns to be effective. If people do not understand the message, the campaign will fail.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming that all corrective campaigns are effective regardless of audience comprehension.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Effective communication is crucial in countering misinformation.

📝 Question 38:
"Attempts to teach elementary school students about misinformation have been opposed."

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

📍 Location of the Answer:
"That some audiences might be unaware of the potential for misinformation also suggests the utility of media literacy efforts as early as elementary school."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
While the passage mentions the potential benefits of teaching media literacy in elementary school, it does not state whether there is opposition to this idea.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming that mentioning a concept implies that it is controversial.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
If a statement is not explicitly addressed in the passage, the correct answer is NOT GIVEN.

📝 Question 39:
"It may be possible to overcome the problem of misinformation in a relatively short period."

🔹 Correct Answer: NO

📍 Location of the Answer:
"We live at a time when widespread misinformation is common. Yet at this time many people also are passionately developing potential solutions and remedies. The journey forward undoubtedly will be a long and arduous one... To overcome the worst effects of the phenomenon, we will need coordinated efforts over time, rather than any singular one-time panacea we could hope to offer."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
The phrase "long and arduous journey" and the need for "coordinated efforts over time" indicate that misinformation will not be eliminated quickly.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Interpreting the presence of solutions as an indication of immediate success.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Complex societal issues like misinformation require long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.

📝 Question 40:
"The need to keep up with new information is hugely exaggerated in today’s world."

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

📍 Location of the Answer:
The passage discusses misinformation, cognitive processing, and media literacy but does not explicitly state whether staying constantly informed is exaggerated.

🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
Since the passage does not address whether the emphasis on staying informed is excessive, the answer must be NOT GIVEN.

⚠️ Potential Traps:
Assuming a discussion about misinformation automatically includes a stance on the value of constant information consumption.

⭐ Key Learning Point:
Only select YES or NO if the passage clearly supports or contradicts the statement.
