QUESTION: 106 Topic - Section: Reading

In the context of the passage, “accommodate” means to

arrange lodging for
contain
make allowances for
excuse

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

For vocabulary-in-context questions, always look up the word to see what it means in the context of the passage. Here, we are looking for a word or phrase that means something like “facilitate the proper viewing of” the different focal points. “Make allowances for” means “adjust for” or “compensate for,” which is what lenses ‒ either those in the eye or those in eyeglasses ‒ must do. "Arrange lodging for," meaning “house” or “put up,” is another meaning of “accommodate” but does not apply in this context, so it is incorrect. "Excuse," meaning “remove blame from” or “disregard,” does not apply in this context either.

QUESTION: 107 Topic - Section: Reading

The author of the passage would probably agree with which of the following statements relating corrective lenses and aging eyes?

A dancer with a broken bone needs a cast to protect it.
A hiker reinforces a fraying backpack strap with duct tape.
A traveler gets a passport before going abroad.
An athlete stretches before a game to avoid a potential injury.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must go back to the passage to see what it says about how corrective lenses aid the eye. The last sentence of the passage states that the corrective lenses "do the work that the eye can no longer do for itself." We need to find a similar relationship: something doing work that can no longer be done by something else. The correct answer describes such a relationship. The damaged strap can no longer fulfill its task; the duct tape bolsters the strap so it can do the task instead. The frayed strap cannot repair itself, so the situation is not temporary.
