Q206. Chloe spent a total of x dollars last August on clothes, transportation, and college textbooks. She spent 23 percent of the total on college textbooks, of which 13 percent was spent on her college mathematics textbook.
Chloe spent a total of $450 on the college textbooks that were not her college mathematics textbook. Which of the following is closest to the value of x ?

Q207. Even the most complex models used in fishery management are cartoons of reality. They reduce hundreds of links in food webs to a handful and inadequately represent processes operating over space. Many of their assumptions are as flawed today as those of the simplest models of the past. Fish stocks, for one. are still assumed to be populations of a species that are isolated from one another. Yet many populations mix at their edges and some even migrate through areas occupied by other populations. Furthermore, the more complex models suffer from a “crisis of complexity”-more is really less. Adding layers of detail, each carrying its own set of assumptions, produces instability. The model’s behavior becomes erratic, and conclusions drawn from it can be downright misleading.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about “models of the past”?

Q208.

Q209. Harriet Monroe, who founded Poetry: A Magazine of Verse in 1912. argued that the more heterogeneous and sprawling the modem world became, the more poetry needed “an entrenched place, a voice of power.” Hut this goal could only be realized if poets were valued in ways that encouraged them to participate in the world and made writing verse economically viable. Monroe argued that poets needed sites of institutional opportunity like those that had been developed for visual artists, architects, and musicians. She believed that the hand-wringing anticapitalism dominating genteel literary culture-particularly the idea that poetry ought to be removed from “sordid” pecuniary considerations-brought no economic and only illusory aesthetic benefits, instead severing poets from meaningful participation in the modern world.
The passage suggests that Monroe believed that finding “an entrenched place, a voice of power” for poetry would rely on which of the following?

Q213. When using a metal file, always remember to bear down on the forward stroke only. On the return stroke, lift the file clear of the surface to avoid dulling the instrument’s teeth.
Only when working on very soft metals is it advisable to drag the file’s teeth slightly on the return stroke.
This helps clear out metal pieces from between the teeth. It is best to bear down just hard enough to keep the file cutting at all times. Too little pressure uses only the tips of the teeth; too much pressure can chip the teeth. Move the file in straight lines across the surface. Use a vice to grip the work so that your hands are free to hold the file. Protect your hands by equipping the file with a handle. Buy a wooden handle and install it by inserting the pointed end of the file into the handle hole.
When working on soft metals, you can …

Q221. The amount of bone in the elderly skeleton – a key determinant in its susceptibility to fractures – is believed to be a function of two major factors. The first is the peak amount of bone mass attained, determined to a large extent by genetic inheritance. The marked effect of gender is obvious: Elderly men experience only one-half as many hip fractures per capita as elderly women. But also, African- American women have a lower incidence of osteoporotic fractures than Caucasian women. Other important variables include diet, exposure to sunlight, and physical activity. The second major factor is the rate of bone loss after peak bone mass has been attained. While many of the variables that affect peak bone mass also affect rates of bone loss, additional factors influencing bone loss include physiological stresses such as pregnancy and lactation. It is hormonal status, however, reflected primarily by estrogen and progesterone levels, that may exert the greatest effect on rates of decline in skeletal mass.
The passage clearly identifies all of the following as factors in the rate of bone-mass loss EXCEPT for

Q225. The author’s overall concern is with describing the process researchers are following to identify the genes responsible for preventing cell death and with the direction (and goals) of current research based on their findings. Of the five choices, choice B best expresses the gist of the discussion. enterprise was prepared for privatization and which form was most suitable for it. Slow privatization, some claim, is the only way to establish true private ownership, because only those who must pay for enterprise-ownership rights will be engaged in its management. But this method would only prolong the core problems of inefficiency and misallocation of labor and capital, and hence either of two approaches to rapid privatization is preferable.
Under one such approach, shares of an enterprise would be distributed among its employees, who would become its owners. This socialist reform method is deeply flawed; it discriminates in favor of workers who happen to be employed by modern, efficient enterprises, and it jeopardizes workers’ property by requiring them to invest in the same enterprise in which they are employed, rather than diversifying their investments. The better approach involves distribution of enterprise shares, free of charge, among all the people by means of vouchers – a kind of investment money. Some critics charge that voucher holders would not be interested in how their enterprises are managed – as may be true of small corporate shareholders in capitalist countries who pay little attention to their investments until the corporation’s profits wane, at which time they rush to sell their securities. But while the resulting fall in stock prices can be perilous for the corporation, this very pressure is what drives private firms toward efficiency and profitability. Other detractors predict that most people will sell their vouchers to foreign capitalists.
However, these skeptics ignore the capacity of individuals to compare the future flow of income secured by a voucher to the benefits of immediate consumption. Moreover, even if an individual should decide to sell, the aim of voucher privatization is to secure equality not of property but of opportunity.
Which of the following would the author probably agree is the LEAST desirable outcome of economic reform in formerly Communist countries?
