Ítem 1 · Read an Academic Passage · logical-relationships
Academic Passage + logical relationship
Marine biologists once assumed that coral recovery depended mostly on water temperature. However, recent field studies suggest that the presence of grazing fish also matters because these fish remove algae that can block young coral from attaching to the reef.
Which relationship is most important for answering why grazing fish support coral recovery?
- Cause and effect: grazing fish remove algae, which helps young coral attach.
- Contrast: grazing fish make water temperature less important in every reef.
- Chronology: young coral always appears before algae grows.
- Definition: grazing fish are another name for young coral.
Explicación: The key relationship is causal. Fish remove algae, and that removal creates better conditions for young coral attachment.
Evidencia: because these fish remove algae that can block young coral from attaching
Trampa: Option B overstates the contrast. The passage says fish also matter, not that temperature never matters.
Ítem 2 · Read an Academic Passage · text-organisation
Academic Passage + paragraph function
Early maps of the region showed rivers as fixed boundaries. Later surveys complicated that view by showing that seasonal flooding often changed river paths. This evidence forced historians to reinterpret several old land agreements.
How is the short passage organized?
- Original view, new evidence, and consequence for interpretation
- Personal story followed by a recommendation
- Definition of maps followed by unrelated examples
- Problem followed by a list of modern technologies
Explicación: The passage starts with an earlier assumption, introduces later evidence, and ends with the interpretive consequence.
Evidencia: Early maps... Later surveys... This evidence forced historians...
Trampa: There is no personal story, recommendation, or list of technologies.
Ítem 3 · Read in Daily Life · time-management
Daily Life + fast evidence scan
Subject: Lab checkout reminder. Students must return borrowed microscopes by Thursday at noon. Equipment returned after noon will be recorded as late unless the instructor approved an extension before Wednesday evening.
If the question asks when microscopes must be returned, what should you scan first?
- Thursday at noon
- Wednesday evening
- approved an extension
- recorded as late
Explicación: The return deadline is the direct time expression attached to must return borrowed microscopes.
Evidencia: must return borrowed microscopes by Thursday at noon
Trampa: Wednesday evening is the deadline for requesting an extension, not the normal return deadline.
