NEW QUESTION 148
Scholars generally estimate subscribers to Freedom s Journal (1827-1829), the United States" first African American newspaper, at around 800. based on subscriptions to the Rights of AIL an African American newspaper founded in 1829 as a successor to Freedom s Journal by a former editor of that newspaper. But Gross argues that many more than 800 readers probably subscribed to Freedom s Journal because many of its subscribers, dissatisfied with the direction ultimately taken by the paper, refused to subscribe to the Rights of All. In any case, the figure of 800 subscribers would make the circulation of Freedom s Journal close to that of other weekly papers of the time Its number of readers, however, would have been much larger: copies were often shared. and African American organizations subscribed to Freedom s Journal, providing nonsubscribers access to the paper African American organizations' subscriptions to Freedom s Journal are mentioned in the passage primarily in order to.
- A. dispute Gross's claim about the probable number of readers of Freedom S Journal
- B. cite a factor that casts doubt on most scholars assumptions about the number of subscribers to Freedom
$ Journal - C. illustrate why the readership numbers for Freedom s Journal should be distinguished from the subscription numbers
- D. identify the primary subscribers to both Freedom s Journal and The Rights of All
- E. help account for a possible difference between the number of subscribers to Freedom s Journal and to The Rights of All.
Answer: D

NEW QUESTION 151
For absolute dating of archeological artifacts, the radiocarbon method emerged during the latter half of the twentieth century as the most reliable and precise method. The results of obsidian (volcanic glass) dating, a method based on the belief that newly exposed obsidian surfaces absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere at a constant rate, proved uneven. It was initially thought that the thickness of the hydration layer would provide a means of calculating the time elapsed since the fresh surface was made. But this method failed to account for the chemical variability in the physical and chemical mechanism of obsidian hydration. Moreover, each geographic source presented unique chemical characteristics, necessitating a trace element analysis for each such source. Yet despite its limitations, obsidian dating helped archeologists identify the sources of many obsidian artifacts, and to identify in turn ancient exchange networks for the flow of goods. Nor were ceramic studies and fluoride analysis supplanted entirely by the radiocarbon method, which in use allows for field labeling and laboratory errors, as well as sample contamination. In addition, in the 1970s, dendrochronological (tree-ring) studies on the bristle cone pine showed that deviation from radiocarbon values increases as one moves back in time. Eventually calibration curves were developed to account for this phenomenon; but in the archeological literature we still find dual references to radiocarbon and sidereal, or calendar, time.
The author would probably consider which of the following the LEAST likely means of dating archeological artifacts?
- A. Obsidian hydration-layeranalysis
- B. Radiocarbon dating
- C. Fluoride analysis
- D. Ceramics studies
- E. Dendrochronological studies
Answer: E
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
As the passage indicates, dendrochronological studies involve analyzing tree rings. Although the wood from trees might have been used for creating items which are now considered archeological artifacts, the author does not indicate explicitly that tree rings are studied for the purpose of dating such artifacts.

NEW QUESTION 156
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, during the period of the American Revolution and the early republic, political poems appeared regularly in newspapers and pamphlets. commenting on the issues and controversies engaging the new nation. Given the sheer number of poems that engaged explicitly with politics, one might wonder why the form has remained largely ignored by scholars of early American literature even as many other once obscure forms-sentimental novels, diaries, travelogues, belles letters-have enjoyed unprecedented scholarly interest in recent decades. Part of the reason may stem from frustrations involved with reading poems that are so highly topical-often requiring, even as a condition of first-level comprehension, a familiarity with names and references that, while wholly recognizable in their own time, are obscure to modem readers. Yet beyond this is the fact that American political verse from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries has never fully shaken off the verdict, delivered by its earliest generation of scholarly readers. that it is simply unworthy of serious attention as literature. Even the term commonly used to describe it-"verse." as opposed to "poetry"- suggests an occasional or forgettable, rather than enduring, form of expression, not quite deserving the designation of poetry. Nor was such verse considered by early critics as worthy of the designation "American." as the tendency of eighteenth-century American poets to model their works on those of British precursors suggested an unforgivable failure, as one critic described it. to declare their "literary independence" from Britain.
In the context in which it appears highlighted, "obscure" most nearly means
- A. dark
- B. indistinct
- C. disreputable
- D. unexamined
- E. ambiguous
Answer: D

The government's _______ clinical study requirements for new drugs do not _______ pharmaceutical firms when it comes to research and development, chiefly because of the profit potential afforded by patent protection.
- A. extensive . . impel
- B. official . . please
- C. onerous . . dissuade
- D. vague . . prejudice
- E. unenforceable . . favor
Answer: C

(The word dissuade means "discourage or persuade not to.")
NEW QUESTION 158
In 1995 the United States National Park Service reintroduced wolves into Yellowstone National Park, from which they had been eliminated decades before by overhunting. Biologists hoped the reintroduction would return the park's mix of animals to a more natural state. After the wolves disappearance, the population of their onetime prey, the elk. had burgeoned. Subsequently, new tree growth declined as multiplying elk browsed young trees, denuding certain areas of the park. Following the wolves" return, the elk population declined and young trees rebounded.

- A. The correlation between the rebounding of Yellowstone's trees and the pattern of its winters since 1995
- B. The correlation between wolves' disappearance from Yellowstone and the growth of the elk population
- C. The correlation between the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone and the decline of the elk population

- B. impeded by political . . academic
- C. sparked by social . . experimental
- D. challenged by academic . . theoretical
- E. hindered by petty . . controversial
Answer: A

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The first operative word in the sentence is rather, which sets up a contrast between what precedes it and what follows it. So, the first clause must run contrary to the phrase "it emerged from social experience."Only choices (A), (C), and D serve this purpose. Of these three choices, choice D.
establishes the clearest contrast - between ideology and experience. A second operative word in the sentence is hence. What follows this phrase must be consistent with what precedes it. Choice D.
accomplishes just that. The word empirical means "based on observation or experience (as opposed to theory)."
