Question 21:
In 1749, British surveyors spotted a high peak in the distant range of
the Himalayas. More than 100 years later, in 1852, another survey was
completed, which confirmed that this peak was the highest mountain in the
world. Later named Mount Everest, this peak was considered to be the world’s
highest mountain until 1986. At that time, George Wallerstein from the
University of Washington posited that another Himalayan mountain, named K-2,
was higher than Everest. It took an expedition of Italian scientists, who used
a surfeit of technological devices, to disprove Wallerstein’s
claim.
According to the passage, which one of the following statements

Question 22:
Socio-economic status,
rather than intellectual ability, may be the key to a child’s success later in
life. Consider two hypothetical elementary school students named John and
Paul. Both of these children work hard, pay attention in the classroom, and
are respectful to their teachers. Yet, Paul’s father is a prosperous business
tycoon, while John’s has a menial job working in a factory. Despite the
similarities in their academic aptitudes, the disparate economic situations of
their parents means that Paul is nearly 30 times more likely than John to land
a high-flying job by the time he reaches his fortieth year. In fact, John has
only a 12% chance of finding and maintaining a job that would earn him even a
median-level income.
We can conclude from information in this passage
that
Question 23:
Sir Isaac Newton had the
prescience to appreciate that his study of natural phenomena was of great
import for the scientific community and for society as a whole. It is because
of Newton’s work that we currently understand the effect of gravity on the
earth as a global system. As a result of Newton’s investigation into the
subject of gravity, we know today that geological features such as mountains
and canyons can cause variances in the Earth’s gravitational force. Newton
must also be acknowledged for the realization that the force of gravity
becomes less robust as the distance from the equator diminishes, due to the
rotation of the earth, as well as the declining mass and density of the planet
from the equator to the poles.
