High-school and college graduates attempting to find jobs should participate in mock job interviews. These mock interviews help students prepare for the types of questions they’ll be asked, make them more comfortable with common interview formats, and help them critique their performance before facing a real interviewer. Because they’re such a valuable aid, schools should organize mock job interviews for all of their graduating students.
The above passage states that mock job interviews ______________.

  1. frighten students
  2. should be offered to the best students
  3. help prepare students for real job interviews
  4. should be organized by students

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The passage doesn’t say anything about mock job interviews being frightening, so Choice "frighten students" is wrong.
The passage says that mock job interviews should be available to all students, so Choice "should be offered to the best students" is wrong.
The passage says that schools, not students, should organize mock interviews, so Choice "should be organized by students" is incorrect.



High-school and college graduates attempting to find jobs should participate in mock job interviews. These mock interviews help students prepare for the types of questions they’ll be asked, make them more comfortable with common interview formats, and help them critique their performance before facing a real interviewer. Because they’re such a valuable aid, schools should organize mock job interviews for all of their graduating students.
From the above passage, it is reasonable to assume that ________________.

  1. mock interviews can increase a student’s confidence when he or she goes into a real job interview
  2. mock interviews are expensive to organize
  3. few students are interested in mock interviews
  4. students don’t need job interview preparation

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Choices "mock interviews are expensive to organize", "few students are interested in mock interviews", "students don’t need job interview preparation" are the opposite of what the paragraph states and implies.



Due process, the guarantee of fairness in the administration of justice, is part of the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment further requires states to abide by due process. After this amendment was enacted, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down many state laws that infringed on the civil rights guaranteed to citizens in the Bill of Rights.
According to the above passage, due process ______________.

  1. is an outdated concept
  2. guarantees fairness in the justice system
  3. never became part of the U.S. Constitution
  4. is the process by which winning lottery tickets are selected

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Nothing in the paragraph supports Choice "is an outdated concept", which is incorrect.
When an amendment is passed, it becomes part of the Constitution, so Choice "never became part of the U.S. Constitution" is incorrect.
The passage doesn’t support Choice "is the process by which winning lottery tickets are selected".



Due process, the guarantee of fairness in the administration of justice, is part of the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment further requires states to abide by due process. After this amendment was enacted, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down many state laws that infringed on the civil rights guaranteed to citizens in the Bill of Rights.
According to the above passage, it’s reasonable to assume that the 5th Amendment ______________.

  1. is about taxes
  2. guarantees due process in all criminal and civil cases
  3. guarantees due process in federal law
  4. should never have become part of the Bill of Rights

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Because the 14th Amendment guarantees due process in states’ laws, the 5th Amendment must guarantee due process only in federal law.
Nothing in the passage implies that the 5th Amendment is about taxes, so Choice " is about taxes " is wrong. Because the passage states that the 14th Amendment had to be enacted to require states to abide by due process, Choice "guarantees due process in all criminal and civil cases" is incorrect.
Choice "should never have become part of the Bill of Rights" is neither stated nor implied in the passage.



Due process, the guarantee of fairness in the administration of justice, is part of the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment further requires states to abide by due process. After this amendment was enacted, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down many state laws that infringed on the civil rights guaranteed to citizens in the Bill of Rights.
The author of the above passage would agree that _________.

  1. without the passage of the 14th Amendment, many laws restricting civil rights would still exist in various states
  2. the Supreme Court overstepped its jurisdiction when it struck down laws infringing on citizens’ civil rights
  3. the Supreme Court had every right to strike down state laws before the passage of the 14th Amendment
  4. the 14th Amendment was opposed by all states

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Because the Supreme Court struck down many state laws after the 14th Amendment was enacted, it’s probably true that these laws would still exist if there had been no 14th Amendment.
The passage doesn’t support Choices "the Supreme Court overstepped its jurisdiction when it struck down laws infringing on citizens’ civil rights", "the Supreme Court had every right to strike down state laws before the passage of the 14th Amendment" or "the Supreme Court had every right to strike down state laws before the passage of the 14th Amendment."
