Which of the following is an accurate paraphrasing of the underlined phrase?

  1. Many people are intrigued by the relationship between bacteria and plant life.
  2. Bacteria and alfalfa plants have a symbiotic relationship.
  3. Bacteria in alfalfa is worth studying.
  4. The gardening community is very invested in the bacteria found in alfalfa.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This question asks you to choose the sentence that has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase. Paraphrase the underlined portion in your own words, and then select the answer choice that best fits. “A community of interest” indicates that bacteria and alfalfa plants work together. This type of relationship can be described as symbiotic.





In the context in which it appears, "naked" most nearly means which of the following?

  1. nude
  2. opaque
  3. unaided
  4. reflective

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

For this vocab-in-context question, go back to the passage and re-read the containing sentence. Consider what is meant by the word; usually a secondary meaning is used. Predict an answer and eliminate incorrect choices. Here, naked indicates that only the eye, and not a microscope, is necessary to see the nodules.





Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?

  1. A 1-month-old alfalfa plant will have more bacteria than a 5-month-old plant.
  2. A soil without lime will not grow bacteria.
  3. Bacteria is located inside the root nodules.
  4. A 3-month-old alfalfa plant will have more bacteria than a one-year-old plant.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This is a 'NOT' question, so we need to eliminate answer choices that are reasonable inferences based on details from the passage. Answer choices (A 1-month-old alfalfa plant will have…) and (A 3-month-old alfalfa plant will have…) can be inferred from the mention that young plants still display the same “peculiarity.” In addition, since answer choices (A 1-month-old alfalfa plant will have…) and (A 3-month-old alfalfa plant will have…) seem to suggest the same thing, namely that younger alfalfa plants will have more bacteria than older alfalfa plants, they cannot both be invalid inferences, so you should eliminate (A 1-month-old alfalfa plant will have…) and (A 3-month-old alfalfa plant will have…). Answer choice (Bacteria is located…) can be eliminated because the author describes the nodules as the “home” of the bacteria. Finally, nothing in the passage allows us to infer that “a soil without lime will not grow bacteria”. The correct answer is (A soil without lime will not…).





The author of the passage suggests which of the following about bacteria?

  1. Bacteria feeds on lime.
  2. Bacteria is visible to the human eye.
  3. Bacteria is compact by nature.
  4. Bacteria is a plant, not an animal.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

For this inference question, look for statements based on facts explicitly stated in the passage. Eliminate choices that are out of scope, extreme, or that misuse details. Bacteria is microscopic, and can be described as compact.
