CORRECT Answers
His neck is completely invisible - a series of large rings runs from his shoulders right the way
up to his lower lip. In his right hand he holds up a ceremonial axe. To either side kneel two
high-court functionaries, dressed very like the Oba, but with plainer headdresses and fewer
neck-rings. They wear belts hung with small crocodile heads, the emblem of those authorized
to conduct business with Europeans - and the heads and shoulders of two tiny Europeans can
be seen floating in the background.
Which details are evident in both the excerpt and the image? Check all that apply. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- ceremonial jewelry
government leaders
European traders
Preparation is the key to success when hiking. Hikers must research weather conditions and
wear appropriate layers of clothing to avoid discomfort. Also, hikers must chart their course
to confirm the availability of suitable trails. When packing, hike participants should select
ample food and water for their adventure. Finally, phones and other communication devices
should be charged and ready for emergencies.
What is the purpose of the details in the paragraph? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Not: to
describe hikers' packs to help readers visualize them
,Try:to develop the central idea of hiking preparedness
My grandmother taught me to appreciate architecture. She grew up in Greece and
photographed ancient ruins in her youth. She told me that people do not build things of
beauty the way they used to, and her favorite example was Greek Ionic columns. As an
architecture student today, I wonder if I will ever create anything as beautiful as these.
Which image would best enhance the paragraph? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a picture of
Ionic columns
Many wild theories were put forward. It was thought that the plaques must have come from
ancient Egypt, or perhaps that the people of Benin were one of the lost tribes of Israel. Or the
sculptures must have derived from European influence (after all, these were the
contemporaries of Michelangelo, Donatello and Cellini). But research quickly established
that the Benin plaques were entirely West African creations, made without European
influence. The Europeans had to revisit, and to overhaul, their assumptions of easy cultural
superiority.
Which central idea is best supported by the details in the excerpt? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- The Benin plaques challenged Europeans' beliefs about West Africa.
Whatever the real facts, the British, in ostensible revenge for the killing, organized a punitive
expedition which raided Benin City, exiled the Oba and created the protectorate of Southern
Nigeria.
Based on the context clues, what is the meaning of the word punitive in the passage? -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- designed to inflict punishment
, The Portuguese galleons, cutting out all the middlemen and able to carry much bigger
cargoes, offered a totally new kind of trading opportunity. They and their Dutch and English
competitors, who followed later in the sixteenth century, carried gold and ivory to Europe and
in return brought commodities from all over the world that were greatly valued by the Oba's
court, including coral from the Mediterranean, cowry shells from the Indian Ocean to serve as
money, cloth from the Far East and, from Europe itself, larger quantities of brass than had
ever before reached West Africa. This was the raw material from which the Benin plaques
were made.
Which central idea is best supported by the details in the excerpt? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- The Benin people had access to the riches of the world through trade.
Which sentence best establishes visual details? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Each painting is
a towering portrait of a town founder depicted in bold acrylic.
Our object is one of those lower-cost chronometers, made in 1800 by Thomas Earnshaw. It is
made of brass and is around the size of a large pocket watch, with a normal clock dial
showing roman numerals and a smaller dial at the bottom for the second hand. The clock is
suspended inside a swivelling brass ring fitted to the inside of a wooden box - this is the key
to keeping the chronometer level even in an unsteady ship.
Which details from the excerpt help readers visualize the chronometer? Check all that apply. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- "around the size of a large pocket watch"
"with a normal clock dial showing roman numerals"
"suspended inside a swivelling brass ring"
