The primary purpose of this age is to detail the stages of the Sun's life in the future. The word fueled is closest in meaning to "powered." As it is used in the age, the word "condition" is closest in meaning to "state." The Sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600 million years (lines 34). It is expected to become a red giant in about 5 billion years. Therefore, it is about halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf. Line 8 states that "the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter." The second paragraph describes the process by which the Sun becomes a red giant star. The last sentence of that paragraph states: "Temperatures on the Earth will become too hot for life to exist." Lines 16-17 indicate that the Sun will be a white dwarf "After it shrinks to about the size of the Earth." Lines 4-5 indicate that the Sun today is thousands of times Jarger than the Earth. Therefore, the Sun will be thousands of times smaller than it is today. According to the age, the Sun is now a yellow dwarf star; it will then expand to a red giant star, shrink to a white dwarf star, and finally cool to a black dwarf. The word eject has the same meaning as "throw off." The reference is to the planet Earth. The tone is scientifically objective. Although the age describes the end of the Earth, that event is so far in the future that the author's tone is disionate. Washington was one of the first persons to realize the importance of canals, and he headed the first company formed to build a canal. This indicates that he was a pioneer in canal construction. Choice (C) is incorrect because the canal was never finished. The word possibility is closest in meaning to "feasibility." According to lines 11-12, the canal linked Albany on the Hudson River with Buffalo on Lake Erie. The word relatively is closest in meaning to "comparatively." The word intermittent is closest in meaning to "on-again-off-again." According to the age, the Governor of New York "persuaded the state to finance and build the canal" (lines 22-23). The cost had been estimated at $5 million (line 19) but actually cost $2 million more (line 24), a total of $7 million. The word fees is closest in meaning to the word "tolls."

Answer Key

20. According to lines 29-31, the canal "allowed New York to supplant Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities as the chief center of both domestic and foreign trade." The other effects are mentioned in the fourth paragraph. 21. Lines 34-36 indicate that the expansion of the Canal would have been warranted "had it not been for the development of the railroads." (This means, "if the railroads had not been developed.") The railroads must have taken so much traffic away from the canal that the expansion was no longer needed. 22. The word warranted most nearly means "justified." 23. The age begins to discuss the actual construction of the Erie Canal in Line 16. 24. The age mainly deals with the distress signals of trees. Choices (B) and (C) concern minor details. There is no information about (A). 25. The reference is to "trees" in line 4. 26. The word parched has the same meaning as the word "dehydrated." 27. The word plight means "condition." 28. The trees' signals are in the 50-500 kilohertz range; the unaided human ear can detect no more than 20 kilohertz (lines 9-10). 29. The word fractured is closest in meaning to "broken." 30. The signals are caused when the water columns inside tubes in trees break, "a result of too little water" (line 15). 31. In the context of the age, pick up means "perceive." 32. Choices (A) and (B) are mentioned in lines 21-22; (C) is mentioned throughout the age; there is no mention of (D). 33. Lines 18-19 say, "Researchers are now running tests," implying that research is continuing. 34. The age explains the difference between two concepts, analogy and homology, and gives examples of both. 35. Lines 1-2 state, "The concepts ... are probably easier to exemplify than define." 36. The word rigid is closest in meaning to "inflexible." This means that there are certain principles that cannot be altered. 37. Analogous organs are those that perform the same functions but are not derived from the same embryological structures. The structures given in (D) most likely demonstrate this relationship in that they both provide the same functions-locomotion and -but are not otherwise related. 38. Homologous organs "are genetically related," according to line 13. 39. In the context of the age, the term structures refers to different physical parts of animals: wings, limbs, fins, and so on. 40. The word sense is closest in meaning to "meaning." 41. The author begins to discuss homology in the sentence beginning "In contrast … " in line 9. 42. The purpose of the age is primarily to describe Charlie Chaplin's movie Modern Times. 43. Lines 2-4 state that Chaplin "was motivated to make the film by a reporter" during an interview. 44. The word abruptly is closest in meaning to the word "suddenly." 45. According to lines 15-16, "scenes of factory interiors for only about one third of the footage." Therefore, about two thirds of the film must have been shot outside the factory. 46. The phrase losing his mind means "going insane" (from the pressure of work). 47. The reference is to the phrase "another popular scene" in line 20. 48. Lines 24-26 state: "This serves to illustrate people's utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs." 49. The word utter is closest in meaning to that of "complete." 50. The film does not offer "a radical social message," and so would not be considered "revolutionary" (A). Line 14 states that "Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture"; thus, it is "entertaining" (B). Lines 1719 mention that people who have seen the film cannot forget certain scenes, and so it is "memorable" (C). According to lines 12-14, the opening scene's "rather bitter note of criticism …is replaced by a gentl er note of satire"; therefore, the author would consider the film "satirical" (D).
