Text Structure and Purpose

Passage — Urban Farming“Over the past decade, urban farming has transitioned from a niche hobby to a recognized component of sustainable city planning. Rooftop gardens, vertical farms, and community plots now supply fresh produce to neighborhoods that previously lacked access to affordable vegetables. Critics question whether the yield justifies the investment; proponents argue that the social and educational benefits extend well beyond food production.”

19The main purpose of this passage is to:

AArgue that urban farming should receive government funding BDescribe the growth and ongoing debate surrounding urban farming CExplain the technical challenges of growing food in cities DCriticize the inefficiencies of community farming projects

Passage — History of Medicine“For centuries, physicians believed that illness was caused by an imbalance of four bodily fluids, or ‘humours.’ This theory, though entirely incorrect by modern standards, shaped medical practice for over two thousand years. It was not until the 19th century, with the development of germ theory, that a more accurate understanding of disease began to emerge — one grounded in observation and experimentation rather than ancient speculation.”

20Which choice best states the main idea of the text?

AAncient physicians were negligent in their approach to medicine. BGerm theory was the most important scientific discovery of the 19th century. CA long-held but incorrect theory of disease was eventually replaced by evidence-based understanding. DObservation and experimentation have always been central to the practice of medicine.

Passage — Social Media“Researchers studying adolescent well-being have noted a consistent correlation between heavy social media use and increased rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers. However, a growing number of scholars caution against interpreting this correlation as causation. It is possible, they argue, that adolescents who are already struggling emotionally are more likely to turn to social media — rather than social media causing the emotional difficulties in the first place.”

21The passage is primarily concerned with:

AProving that social media causes depression in teenagers BQuestioning whether a correlation between two variables implies causation CRecommending that teenagers reduce their social media use DSummarizing the findings of a specific research study on adolescent anxiety

Command of Evidence

Data — Sleep Survey (500 teenagers)A researcher claims that most teenagers (ages 13–17) sleep fewer than the recommended 8–10 hours per night. Survey results: Less than 6 hours: 75 · 6–7 hours: 185 · 8–10 hours: 195 · More than 10 hours: 45

22Which finding from the survey most directly supports the researcher’s claim?

A195 students slept the recommended 8–10 hours per night. B45 students slept more than 10 hours per night. C260 out of 500 students slept fewer than 8 hours per night. DMore students slept 6–7 hours than any other category.

Data — Plant Growth (30 days)A biologist argues that plants exposed to classical music grow taller on average than those kept in silence. Classical music: 28.4 cm · No music: 23.1 cm · White noise: 25.6 cm

23Which choice most effectively uses the data to support the biologist’s argument?

APlants in the white noise condition grew taller than those in silence. BPlants exposed to classical music grew 5.3 cm taller on average than those kept in silence. CThe tallest plants were those exposed to white noise. DPlants in the no-music condition reached an average height of 23.1 cm.

Data — Breakfast & GPA (500 students)A nutritionist claims that eating breakfast regularly improves academic performance. Daily breakfast: GPA 3.4 · Occasional: GPA 3.0 · Rarely/never: GPA 2.7

24Which choice most effectively uses data from the study to support the nutritionist’s claim?

AStudents who ate breakfast occasionally had a higher GPA than those who rarely ate breakfast. BStudents who ate breakfast daily had a GPA 0.7 points higher than those who rarely ate breakfast. CThe majority of students in the study ate breakfast occasionally. DStudents who rarely ate breakfast had the lowest GPA in the study.
