DIRECTIONS: In the passage below, certain phrases are underlined and numbered <x>. The question will present alternatives for the underlined part. In most cases, you are to choose the one that best expresses the idea, makes the statement appropriate for standard written English, or is worded most consistently with the style and tone of the passage as a whole. If you think the original version is the best, choose "NO CHANGE".

The Personality of Superman

[§1] In the original Jerry Siegel and Joel Shuster "Superman" stories, Superman's personality is rough and aggressive. He was seen stepping in to stop wife beaters, profiteers, a lynch mob and gangsters, <1> with rather rough edges and a looser moral code than we may be used to today. In later adventures he became, softer, <2> and had more of a sense of idealism and moral code of conduct. Although not as cold-blooded <3> as the early Batman, the Superman featured in the comics of the 1930s is unconcerned about the harm his strength may cause, tossing villainous characters in such a manner that fatalites <4> would presumably occur, although these were seldom shown explicitly on the page. This came to an end when Superman vowed never to take a life.

[§2] Superman is an extremely moral person, believing it is immoral to kill anyone under any circumstances, and will do whatever he can to avoid it. Clark's upbringing in the Midwest largely contributes to this, as his adoptive parents raised him to do the right thing. <5>

[§3] In Superman/Batman #3, Batman says, "It is a remarkable dichotomy. <6> In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him."

[§4] Superman is also a bit of a loner, in that, <7> for much of his life, he doesn't reveal his true identity and powers to anyone, not even his closer friends. <8> Many times they come close to figuring it out on their own, but often he will arrange an elaborate deception to trick them into believing Clark Kent and Superman are entirely separate. He's known to collect mementos <9> of his adventures and his life in the Fortress of Solitude, and has even been known to have wax statues of all his friends their. <10>

<4>:

  1. NO CHANGE
  2. faytalities
  3. fatalitys
  4. fatalities

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

D is correct. The singular, "fatality," contains consonant before the y, thus requiring a change to -ies for the plural.

He's known to collect mementos <9> of his adventures and his life in the Fortress of Solitude, and has even been known to have wax statues of all his friends their. <10>

Deleting this phrase ­ "as his adoptive parents raised him to do the right thing" <5> ­ in the final sentence of paragraph 2 would primarily lose details that:

  1. Superman's biological parents were not very kind people.
  2. Superman was an orphan.
  3. Superman had adoptive earth parents who raised him.
  4. Superman was raised by a supervillain.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

C is correct. The phrase does not disparage Superman's biological parents in any way. Upbringing implies he wasn't just raising himself. There are no mentions of supervillains.

Based on context clues from the passage, we can assume "dichotomy" <6> means:

  1. butchery
  2. division
  3. contradiction
  4. physician

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

C is correct. Batman is pointing out Clark is the "most human" despite not really being a human or having human limitations. This is the very definition of a walking contradiction.

<7>:

  1. NO CHANGE
  2. loner in that,
  3. loner, in, that,
  4. lonely in that

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A is correct. The passage as written contains the natural pause between "loner" and "in that."
