Rachel Carson Rachel Carson (1907-1964) was an American marine biologist, conservationist, and author. She was born on a family farm in Pennsylvania and spent her youth exploring the countryside and writing stories, often about animals. It seems as if Carson was born to be an author. By the age of ten, she had already had her first book published. She began her adult career as an aquatic biologist in the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, but became a full-time writer by the 1950s. More than anything else, she was interested in what can happen when, as she put it, "Things go out of kilter." Because of this, she began work on her groundbreaking book Silent Spring. Developed in 1939, DDT was the most potent pesticide that world had ever known. It showed just how vulnerable nature was to the actions of humanity. While most pesticides of the day killed only one or two types of insects, DDT could kill hundreds. Originally used only by the military to clear South Pacific islands of malaria-causing insects during World War Two, it was cleared for civilian use in 1945. Carson grew justifiably more and more concerned about DDT as its effects on the environment slowly became known. She tried to publish magazine articles to raise the alarm about the poison, but no one would publish her work. Having gathered a vast amount of research on the subject, Carson started a four-year writing odyssey that culminated with the publishing of Silent Spring in 1962. Carson described how a single application of DDT could poison the environment for weeks or even months. It could enter water sources and remain toxic even when diluted. Ultimately, it accumulated in the fatty tissues of animals-including human beings-and caused cancer and genetic damage. The book's most famous chapter, "A Fable for Tomorrow," described an American town where all life-even human children-had been "silenced" from the deleterious effects of the poison. The reaction from the chemical industry was immediate. A major chemical manufacturer published a response to Silent Spring with a brochure that made fun of Carson's work. It described a world that was plagued by famine, disease, and insect swarms because chemical pesticides had been banned. In spite of this backlash, her careful work paid off. DDT was ultimately banned after President John F. Kennedy ordered a committee to investigate the effects of the chemical on the environment. But perhaps the most important legacy of her book was a new awareness of humanity's potential to inflict damage on the environment. Before the book, conservation had never garnered much public interest. But the problems that Carson wrote about-water contamination, cancer, and mass extinction-could not be ignored. For the first time, the urgent need to regulate industry to protect the environment became accepted. And from this, the modern environmental movement was born. Which of the following statements rephrases the author's main argument about Rachel Carson?

The Science of Yawning Have you yawned today? If you can't remember or perhaps haven't noticed, you're similar to most Americans. According to a 2007 study, yawning is considered a basic bodily function, such as scratching an itch or crossing one's legs, and people hardly make note of the act. Despite its normality in our daily routines, the question regarding why yawning occurs still has not been answered with certainty. Interestingly enough, little research has been paid to studying yawning, due to a debate surrounding its importance. Many scientists disagree on the importance surrounding research for yawning. Those against the research believe that it will not greatly impact the scientific and medicinal communities, while others believe that there is a case to be made for the possible physiological significance of a somewhat pointless act. There are a few possible causes as to why one yawns, and even fewer theories related to the evolutionary reason for yawning. The most established theory is that yawning helps a person increase his or hers state of alertness. This is one reason as to why yawning has been associated with sleepiness, or when a person is extremely fatigued. In fact, one famous study has suggested that yawning may have developed as a way of keeping animals alert to possible predators. This gives way to the "contagious" yawn theory, which involves an instinctual reaction to warn another member of the "herd" to stay alert in times of danger. These evolutionary theories are also connected to theories regarding empathy. Various studies have shown that spatial proximity in socially close primates is an indicator of yawn contagion. Other scientists believe that yawning is a sign of the body regulating its temperature and cooling itself down. Neuroscientists have attributed yawning to another possible theory regarding the neurotransmitters in the brain. They believe that chemicals responsible for yawning, including serotonin and dopamine, also cause feelings such as hunger and happiness. Thus, as more of these compounds are activated in the brain, the more frequently a person yawns. In one psychological study on the effects of antidepressant medication, researchers found that people undergoing withdrawal from opioids and those taking serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) yawned more often than the people in the control group. This can give way to the idea that chemicals in the brain-especially serotonin-can have an impact on the frequency of yawning. Yawning continues to be an interesting phenomenon with a plethora of possible causes. Theories ranging from chemical balances to empathy relation are all within the realms of possible reasons as to why people yawn, but scientists will most likely study these theories for decades to come. Until a conclusive, definitive answer is reached, it may be safe to assume that yawning acts as a diverse linguistic signal that can represent various functional outcomes. Which of the following statements from the passage provides evidence that yawning may be "contagious"?

In the days when the Church dominated everyday life, troubadours became well-known secular entertainers who could move beyond religious themes and explore love and politics. They were most popular between 1100 and 1350 A.D. Troubadours often entertained kings and queens at court and frequently enjoyed many of the pleasures and privileges enjoyed by the wealthiest members of society, which was at the time a very much a male-dominated world. But interestingly, entertaining as a trobairitz, or female troubadour, gave some women the opportunity to enjoy a prominent career in what began as a "males-only" field. Although their work is less prolific than that of male troubadours, surviving manuscripts clearly show that women were highly capable poets and musicians. Female poetry pertaining to love tended to offer a less idealized and more accurate conception than the poetry of their male counterparts. In addition, it showed a more conversational and less flourished style of writing. In this way, it intended to more closely depict a more grounded vision of relationships. Below are several trends being discussed in the media. Which of the following resembles the theme of the passage's description of trobairitz?

John D. Rockefeller is said to be the richest person ever to live, with an estimated wealth of $336 billion. But evidence suggests that an African named Mansa Musa probably surpassed that staggering amount. Musa lived in western Africa and became a surprisingly selfless emperor of the Mali people in 1312 A.D. By trading gold and salt, he amassed an enormous fortune, now estimated at $400 billion dollars in today's money. He is most famous for his pilgrimage to Mecca. Members of his caravan numbered some 60,000 people, and he made the journey with hundreds of animals and plenty of gold. He freely gave this gold to the poor that he met along the route. He had a number of mosques built, too. Legend has it that he built one every Friday during his reign. The most famous of these is the Djinguereber Mosque in Timbuktu, Mali. According to the passage, how did Mansa Musa create his vast wealth?

Superhero flicks are one hot genre of movies today. And why not? After all, they're the most interesting genre of film on tap today. For the past several years, a number of the top grossing cinematic offerings have been superhero movies. But how can a genre that used to target mainly children be so popular today? One reason is that superheroes are just plain good people. They show an astonishing level of virtue and humanity, and this is easy to identify with. A superhero is the kind of person that we are or that we hope to become. Additionally, superhero origin stories often deal with death and loss, and this can evoke a sympathetic response from the audience. Take Batman, for instance. For most of his life, he has struggled with the memory of watching his parents die. And who among us hasn't felt a similar sting of loss? So in a world of evil and misfortune, people love to see their superheroes who act as symbols of virtue and who vanquish villains-as well as their own weaknesses. Which of the following represents a statement of opinion and not of fact?
