Buddhism is a religion that must be viewed from many angles. Its original form, as preached by Gautama in India and developed in the early years succeeding and as embodied in the sacred literature of early Buddhism, isn’t representative of the actual Buddhism of any land today.
According to this passage, ____________.

  1. most Buddhists live in India
  2. Buddhist teachings have changed over the years
  3. Buddhism draws its teachings from early Christianity
  4. Buddhist temples can be found in any land of the world

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The only statement that’s supported by the passage is Choice "Buddhist teachings have changed over the years."
In fact, this sentence is the primary theme of the passage.
The other choices aren’t supported by information contained in the paragraph.



Many criminal-law statutes permit more severe punishment of a person convicted of a crime if he or she intended to harm another person. For example, voluntary manslaughter carries a heavier penalty than involuntary manslaughter in most states. Planned crimes are also punished more severely than spur-of-the- moment crimes. The problem is that juries find it difficult to know what the intent of a person was at the time he or she committed a crime. Many defendants will deny that they intended to harm the other person and claim that any harm that occurred was “accidental.” The law asks too much of juries when it expects them to determine what a person was thinking. Juries should only be asked to weigh objective evidence.
The author of this passage would agree that ____________.

  1. laws should not punish people based on intention
  2. juries aren’t intelligent enough to weigh evidence
  3. more laws should distinguish between crimes committed with intent and crimes committed on the spur of the moment
  4. lawyers will lie about anything

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Choice "juries aren’t intelligent enough to weigh evidence" isn’t supported by the passage.
Choice "more laws should distinguish between crimes committed with intent and crimes committed on the spur of the moment" is the opposite of what the author argues.
The text doesn’t support Choice "lawyers will lie about anything".



Many criminal-law statutes permit more severe punishment of a person convicted of a crime if he or she intended to harm another person. For example, voluntary manslaughter carries a heavier penalty than involuntary manslaughter in most states. Planned crimes are also punished more severely than spur-of-the- moment crimes. The problem is that juries find it difficult to know what the intent of a person was at the time he or she committed a crime. Many defendants will deny that they intended to harm the other person and claim that any harm that occurred was “accidental.” The law asks too much of juries when it expects them to determine what a person was thinking. Juries should only be asked to weigh objective evidence.
According to this passage, ____________.

  1. most states don’t distinguish between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter
  2. punishing people more severely for voluntary manslaughter is unconstitutional
  3. it’s difficult for juries to determine a defendant’s intentions at the time a crime was committed
  4. prosecutors can, through careful questioning, show a defendant’s intention at the time a crime was committed

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The passage says that most states punish voluntary manslaughter more severely than involuntary manslaughter, so Choice "most states don’t distinguish between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter" is incorrect.
The argument that punishing people more severely for voluntary manslaughter is unconstitutional isn’t made in the passage, so Choice "punishing people more severely for voluntary manslaughter is unconstitutional" is incorrect.
The passage doesn’t support Choice "prosecutors can, through careful questioning, show a defendant’s intention at the time a crime was committed".



Ergonomics is the science of designing and arranging workspaces so that people and objects interact efficiently and safely. Lack of attention to ergonomics causes thousands of workers to suffer repetitive stress injury, eye fatigue, muscle soreness, and many other medical problems each year.
Adequate lighting, well-designed chairs, and clutter-free work areas contribute to effective ergonomic design. The opportunity to take short breaks every hour or two, especially for deskbound workers, is also helpful. It’s also important for workers to avoid performing the same movements over and over for hours at a time. Variety in the type of work being done can decrease the chance of injury.
According to this passage, ____________.

  1. ergonomics can cause injuries
  2. ergonomics is about designing and arranging workspaces efficiently and safely
  3. ergonomics is expensive and time consuming
  4. few people experience problems due to poor ergonomics

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Lack of attention to ergonomics, not ergonomics itself, can cause injury, so Choice "ergonomics can cause injuries" is incorrect.
The passage doesn’t support Choice "ergonomics is expensive and time consuming."
The passage states that many people suffer injuries when sufficient attention isn’t paid to ergonomics, so Choice "few people experience problems due to poor ergonomics" is incorrect.
