The best answer is C.According to the first paragraph, the passage is about two different assessments of FlorenceNightingales career. The first paragraph summarizes one of these assessment; the secondparagraph presents a contrasting account of Nightingales career that contradicts the central pointof the first account.Choice A is incorrect. Although the passage discusses various aspects of Florence Nightingalesinvolvement in the field of nursing, it does not mention any innovations that she introduced to thatfield. Choice B is not correct because the passage does not discuss approaches to the writing ofhistorical biography. Choice D is also incorrect. Although the passage refers to the specificproblems of military medicine during the Crimean War (lines 10-11) and to the poort livingconditions of British soldiers after the war (lines 22-23), the passage does not discuss the broader,more general issue of the quality of health care in nineteenth-century England. And choice E is notthe answer because the passage does not mention the effects of the Crimean War on developmentsin health care.74.This question asks you to identify a contribution that the editors of Nightingales letters attributeto her.The best answer is E. In the second paragraph, several of Nightingales post-war accomplishmentsthat are highlighted by the editors of her letters are mentioned. In lines 22-27, her contribution tothe creation of an organization for monitoring the peacetime living conditions of British soldiers ismentioned as one of these.Choice A is not correct. In lines 22-25 the editors of Nightingales letters cite the relatively high325death rate of British soldiers after the Crimean War, but they do not mention their survival rateduring the war. Choice B is incorrect, because the passage does not provide any information aboutthe curriculum of the nurses training hospital that Nightingale founded. Choice C is also not thecorrect answer. The passage does not mention women doctors, only women nurses. And choice Dis incorrect because there is no indication in the passage that the nurses training hospital thatNightingale founded was at a university or that it was the first of its kind.75.To answer this question, you must use information contained in the passage to infer somethingabout Nightingales relationship with the British public of her day.The best answer is A. Line 5 refers to Nightingales “heroic reputation”; line 14 refers to“nightingales place in the national pantheon”; and lines 25-28 discuss her persuasiveness with theBritish government and her fund-raising successes. From this information it can be inferred thatNightingagle was highly respected, as evidenced by both popular and governmental support forher projects.Choices B, C, and D are incorrect for the same reason: each one refers to an element of social orgovernmental opposition or resistance to Nightingales ideas, none of which is mentioned orsuggested by the passage. Choice E is also incorrect. The information in the passage contradictsthe notion that Nightingale was “quickly forgotten.” To the contrary, the passage discusses the“famous British nurse Florence Nightingale” (line 2-3), her “heroic reputation” (line 5), and her“place in the national pantheon” (line 14), as well as her “eminent place among the ranks of socialpioneers” (lines 43-44).76.The question asks you to draw a conclusion about sanitary conditions in Britain after the CrimeanWar that is suggested, rather than stated expressly, in the passage.The best answer is D. In the second paragraph Nightingales efforts to reform sanitary conditionsin Britain are illustrated by her response to the death rate among enlisted men in British barracks,which is described as unusually high relative to that of neighboring civilian populations. From thisit can be inferred that sanitary conditions in the barracks were worse than in these civilianpopulations.Choices A, B and C are incorrect: in each, a comparison is made between sanitary conditions inpost-war Britain and sanitary conditions elsewhere or at other times. However, because thepassage provides no basis on which to make any of these comparisons, all three of these choicesare incorrect. The passage does not mention sanitary conditions “in other parts of the world,” as inChoice A; “before the war,” as in choice B; or in “rural areas” as compared with “urban centers”,as in choice C. Choice E is also incorrect, because the passage provides no information about hegeneral state of sanitary conditions “throughout England”.77.This question asks you to select a statement about the two contrasting accounts of Nightingalesimportance with which the author of the passage would be most likely to agree.The best answer is C. In the last paragraph, the author concedes that “Nightingale may not haveachieved all of her goals during the Crimean War.” This is consistent with Summers view thatNighingales importance during the war has been exaggerated (lines 5-7), but the author of thepassage nonetheless describes Nightingale as a great social pioneer because of her vision and326achievements. These achievements, which the second paragraph states occurred primarily after theCrimean War, apparently did not influence Summers interpretation of Nightingales importance.Given the authors favorable assessment of Nightingales reputation, it is likely that the authorwould agree that Summers interpretation ignores this important evidence.Choice A is not the correct answer. Although, in lines 40-42, the author concedes that Summersmay be correct in her assessment of Nighingales wartime achievements, nothing is said in thepassage about Summers discussion, if any, of Nightingales postwar influence or activities.Choice B is also incorrect. In lines 33-35, the author cites the editors collection of Nightingalesletters as evidence of Nightingales “brilliance and creativity.” In addition, in light of the authorsstatement that Nightingale has earned “an eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers”(lines 43-44), there is no reason to think the author would agree that the editors exaggeratedNightingales influence on later generations.Choice D is not the correct answer. In the last paragraph of the passage, the author refers toNightingales letters as evidence of her “brilliance and creativity” (lines 33-35), and as the basisfor a conlusion that Nightingale has earned “an eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers”(lines 43-44). It is therefore highly unlikely that the author believes that the editors of these lettershave “mistakenly propagated” outdated notions or impeded a balanced assessment ofNightingales role. Choice E is also incorrect. In the last paragraph of the passage, the authorstates that “the evidence of Nightingales letters supports continued respect for Nightingalebrilliance and creativity.” Summers, on the other hand, seeks in her book to “debunk”Nightingales “heroic reputation” (lines 3-5). Rather than supporting Summers conclusions aboutNightingale, the evidence of Nightingales letters contradicts them.78.The best answer is A. In the last paragraph of the passage, the author presents two examples ofNightingales “brilliance and creativity.” In the first of these, the author compares Nightingale to“a modern educator” for counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage childrens powers ofobservation. The fact that the author believes that this is evidence of Nightingales creativitysuggests that it was unusual at that time to emphasize developing childrens ability to observe.Choice B is not the correct answer. Nightingales efforts to improve conditions in British militarybarracks are not cited as evidence of her creativity, nor is it suggested that Nightingalescounseling a village schoolmaster, not enlisting schoolmasters help (lines 35-36); moreover,nothing in the passage suggests that educators had failed to enlist such help prior to the incidentthe author describes. Choice D is incorrect: although the author cites Nightingales contributionsto the care of the needy (lines 37-40), the passage does not suggest that no organized help for theneedy existed before Nightingale began her work. And choice E is incorrect, because althoughNightingales cost-accounting system is presented in the passage as having made a lastingcontribution to the British Armys medical services, the passage never suggests that beforeNightingale the Army lacked a cost-accounting system.79.This question asks you to identify the authors primary concern in the last paragraph of thepassage.The best answer is D. In the last paragraph, the author cites examples of Nightingalesachievements to support the authors conclusion that Nightingales achievements to support the327authors conclusion that Nightingale is worthy of respect and has earned “an eminent place amongthe ranks of social pioneers” (lines 43-44).Choice A is incorrect. The third paragraph does not summarize the arguments presented in the firsttwo paragraphs. Choice B is also not the correct answer: in the third paragraph, the authorexpresses essential agreement with the positive view of Nighingales career described in thesecond paragraph. Choice C is incorrect because in the last paragraph the author does not analyzethe weakness of any evidence cited elsewhere in the passage. And choice E is not the correctanswer because the author does not correct any factual errors in the two works under review.80.This question asks you to identify the primary focus of the passage.The best answer is B. The author describes the new theoretical model in the first paragraph; in thefinal paragraph the author states that the data obtained from actual observations, which arediscussed in the second and third paragraphs, is consistent with the new theoretical model.Choice A is not correct; the computer model confirmed the astronomers hypothesis that meteorstreams broaden with time, and although the model yielded an unexpected result, the passage doesnot contrast the predictions yielded by competing theories. Choice C and D are not correct becausethe passage makes no reference to further areas for research, and only a single phenomenon isdescribed in the passage. And choice E is not correct because it reverses the order of events. Themodel yielded a prediction that was subsequently confirmed by observational data, the model wasnot constructed to explain the data.81.This question asks you to identify an accurate statement about meteor streams. Choice C, the bestanswer, restates information about the composition of meteor streams from the first sentence ofthe passage.Choice A is not correct. The passage discusses the influence of planetary gravitation on meteorstreams but says nothing about its influence on the orbits of comets. According to the passage, it isplanetary gravitation, not the gravitational fields of comets, that causes meteor streams to increasein size, so choice B is not correct. And choice D and E are not correct answers because the passagesays nothing about the composition of comets or the role that meteor streams play in their furtherdisintegration.82.This question asks what the author says about the purpose of the research described in the firstparagraph.The best answer is D. According to the author, the purpose of the computer-modeling experimentwas to test the hypothesis that meteor streams broaden with time.Choice A is not correct; although the observational data described in the last paragraph allowedscientists to estimate the age of the Geminid stream, this data was analyzed to confirm a surprisingprediction made by the computer model. This analysis was not part of the original experiment.Choice B is also incorrect. Although the experiment yielded a surprising prediction about aparticular feature of meteor streams, the purpose of the experiment was to determine whethermeteor streams broaden with time, not to identify the various structural features of meteor streams.Choice C is not correct because the experiment was undertaken to test a general hypothesis aboutmeteor streams. It was not undertaken to explore the nature of any particular meteor stream, and328the passage never suggests that the actual meteor streams used in the computer model was“particularly interesting.”Choice E is not correct. Although the computer model did confirm the astronomers hypothesis,the purpose of the experiment was not to show that such models are useful.83.This question asks you to make an inference about what would most probably be observed duringthe Earths passage through a meteor stream if the conventional theories mentioned in the passagewere correct. According to line 18-20, the conventional theories predicted that the meteor streamwould be most dense at the center. The computer model, one the other hand, predicted that ameteor stream would come to resemble a thick-walled, hollow pipe (lines 21-22). The passagestates that, if the computer model were correct, two peak periods of meteor activity would beobserved as the Earth passed through the walls of the “pipe” (lines 28-31). According to lines36-38, observational data confirmed the prediction of the computer model. If, on the other hand,the conventional theories
