10 questions

Question 1

Which sentence from the passage supports the narrator’s claim with scientific evidence?

In rodent models, repeated head impacts can worsen brain injury outcomes and substantially prolong recovery.

With heightened awareness of the association between sports head impacts and brain trauma, guidelines have been introduced to limit head impact exposure in sports,

At lower impact severities and exposure levels, a lot of soccer headers can lead to acute neurological deficits and concussion symptoms.

Question 2

In the same passage from above, the author organizes the passage by -

comparing high and low head impacts

detailing how head impacts affect the brain

describing how head impacts happen in sports

explaining a study that proves head injuries are
dangerous

Question 3

Which sentence best states the author’s claim?

We would then be driven to work by our smart cars while we relax and read the paper.

Surprisingly, the thought of this scared me more than anything.

I could think of nothing lazier.

Has technology made us more lazy then?

Question 4

In the same passage from above, why did the author write the passage?

to emphasize how technology has changed us

to prove to the reader why we need technology

to cause the reader to reevaluate technology

to explain what life will be like in the future

Question 5

Which sentence from the passage suggests the author does not believe student test scores are the best way to
evaluate teacher performance?

Unlike the vast majority of surveys in human history, this one had been carefully field-tested.

If you asked kids the right questions, they could identify, with uncanny accuracy, their most – and least –effective teachers.

Now, this approach is fraught with difficulty.

Question 6

In the same passage from above, what idea does the passage support?

student surveys are a better indicator of teacher performance

standardized testing is an old way of evaluating teachers

student surveys are an inaccurate way to appraise teacher performance

standardized testing is a good indicator of a teacher’s success in the classroom

Question 7

Which sentence best states the author’s main claim?

While many studies have shown the benefits of later school starts, including better student attendance, higher test scores, and improved sleep duration, few have used starting times later than 9:00 a.m.

Here we report on the implementation and impact of a 10 a.m. school start time for 13 to 16-year-old students.

The 10:00 a.m. start was associated with a 12% increase in the value-added number of students making good academic progress.

Question 8

In the same passage from above, what is the author’s purpose?

to persuade schools to push back school start times

to inform the reader about the benefits of a later school start time

to entertain students by getting them excited about a later school start time

to explain a new study, that recently came out, about a 10 a.m. school start time

Question 9

Which line best expresses the author’s main claim?

Health warning labels that use strong causal language deter consumers more than labels with weaker language

U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s proposed cigarette warning labels

strong causal language such as “smoking causes head and neck cancer.”

A large body of research has shown that smoking does, in fact, cause cancer.

Question 10

10.

For the same passage from above, the author is against language that -

 links warning labels to cancer

is too aggressive and strong

only implies a negative side effect

is strong but too causal

Question 1

Which sentence from the passage supports the narrator’s claim with scientific evidence?

In rodent models, repeated head impacts can worsen brain injury outcomes and substantially prolong recovery.

With heightened awareness of the association between sports head impacts and brain trauma, guidelines have been introduced to limit head impact exposure in sports,

At lower impact severities and exposure levels, a lot of soccer headers can lead to acute neurological deficits and concussion symptoms.

In fact, long-term head impact exposure from sports and other activities may trigger a neurodegenerative condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Question 2

In the same passage from above, the author organizes the passage by -

comparing high and low head impacts

detailing how head impacts affect the brain

describing how head impacts happen in sports

Unlike the vast majority of surveys in human history, this one had been carefully field-tested.

If you asked kids the right questions, they could identify, with uncanny accuracy, their most – and least –effective teachers.

Now, this approach is fraught with difficulty.

And it puts huge pressure on teachers to ‘teach to the test’.

Question 6

In the same passage from above, what idea does the passage support?

student surveys are a better indicator of teacher performance

standardized testing is an old way of evaluating teachers

student surveys are an inaccurate way to appraise teacher performance

standardized testing is a good indicator of a teacher’s success in the classroom

The 10:00 a.m. start was associated with a 12% increase in the value-added number of students making good academic progress.

These results show that changing to a 10:00 a.m. high school start time can greatly reduce illness and improve academic performance.

Question 8

In the same passage from above, what is the author’s purpose?

to persuade schools to push back school start times

to inform the reader about the benefits of a later school start time

to entertain students by getting them excited about a later school start time
