• Question 301:

  A rectangular picture frame is hanging flat against a vertical wall so that the two longer sides of the frame are parallel to the horizontal floor.

What is the length, in meters, of each of the frame's longer sides?

  (1)

  The ratio of the length of the frame's longer sides to the length of the frame's shorter sides is 8:5.

  (2)

  The total area of the region within the outside edges of the frame Is 2.5 square meters.

  A. Statement (1) ALONE Is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

• Question 305:

  Protectionist trade restrictions harm large segments of society for the benefit of a smaller segment. For example, every time the steel industry asks for tariffs on steel Imports from foreign countries, someone correctly points out that if that wish were granted, it would harm the United States auto industry and other steel users, not to mention consumers. Protectionist trade restrictions serve particular interests and only rarely also the general welfare. But the U.S. Constitution requires the government to serve the general welfare. It follows that__________.

  Which of the following best completes the passage?

  A. trade restrictions of any kind are unconstitutional
  B. most U.S. domestic industries are probably helped, not hindered, by foreign competition
  C. protectionist trade restrictions are usually incompatible with the U.S. Constitution
  D. government measures that serve the general interest are generally compatible with the U.S. Constitution
  E. the general welfare requires protectionist trade restrictions
  C. protectionist trade restrictions are usually incompatible with the U.S. Constitution

• Question 306:

  Which of the following is a claim made in the passage?

  A. Microwaves are invisible to the human eye.
  B. Light travels more slowly through water than through cold air.
  C. Light travels at a constant speed through cool air.
  D. Light travels more slowly through air than through a vacuum.
  E. Light changes its speed when it changes its direction.
  D. Light travels more slowly through air than through a vacuum.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Consider a mirage on a hot toad: when light tays hit the hot ait just above the surface, they bend. Although light moves through a vacuum at a certain constant speed, it moves more slowly through any transparent medium, such as water or gas. Light travels faster in the thin air near the road than it does in the colder, denser air above, and the difference in speed makes it shift direction as it crosses the boundary between the two. Rays once headed downwards from the sky are redirected to your eye, hiding part of the road with a shimmering image. A research team has constructed an apparatus to cloak an object from electromagnetic radiation (EMR)--in this case, microwaves--making the object "invisible" to microwave- based detection devices, somewhat as a mirage on a hot road makes the road invisible. The apparatus bends incoming microwaves around the object, using a class of recently created metamaterials--materials that gain certain desired properties directly from their engineered structures rather than from their composition. These metamaterials possess the ability, not found in nature, to bend microwaves at extreme angles. The metamateria! in this case--thin, rigid sheets of fiberglass insulator stamped with conducting loops, coils, and tiny rectangles--was designed to control the movement of incoming EMR.

• Question 307:

  Which of the following most logically completes the passage below?

  Mayor: Commuters working in Ornville must cross either North Bridge or South Bridge. During impending repair work at the North Bridge toll plaza, North Bridge will remain open to traffic, but the usual 25 cent toll will not be collected. So as not to lose toll revenue overall, the city plans to temporarily raise the toll on South Bridge by 20 cents.

  The plan is likely to accomplish its objective, since more commuters currently use South Bridge, and ________.

  A. the current toll for South Bridge is 20 cents
  B. substantial amounts of toll revenue collected at South Bridge will go toward paying for the repairs at the North Bridge toll plaza
  C. very few commuters could switch from one bridge to the other without serious inconvenience to themselves
  D. the rates for commuters' monthly bridge toll passes will not increase
  E. at both bridges, tolls are currently collected not only on vehicles entering Ornville but also on vehicles leaving Ornville
  C. very few commuters could switch from one bridge to the other without serious inconvenience to themselves
