Re: GRE English practice
Some practise questions for preparation of GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) are as follows: Section 1 Verbal Reasoning 25 Questions Question 1 is based on the following reading passage. Centuries ago, the Maya of Central America produced elaborate, deeply cut carvings in stone. The carvings would have required a cutting tool of hard stone or metal. Iron-ore deposits exist throughout Central America, but apparently the Maya never developed the technology to use them and the metals the Maya are known to have used, copper and gold, would not have been hard enough. Therefore, the Maya must have used stone tools to make these carvings. 1. Select and indicate the best answer from among the five answer choices: Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A In various parts of the world, civilizations that could not make iron from ore fashioned tools out of fragments of iron from meteorites B All the metallic Mayan artifacts that have been found by archaeologists are made of metals that are too soft for carving stone. C The stone out of which these carvings were made is harder than the stone used by other Central American peoples. D The technique that the Maya used to smelt gold and some other metals could not have been easily applied to the task of extracting iron from iron ore. E Archaeologists disagree about how certain stone tools that have been found among Mayan ruins were used. Questions 2 and 3 are based on the following reading passage. (A word is boldfaced and underlined for reference in answering question 3.) In early-twentieth-century England, it was fashionable to claim that only a completely new style of writing could address a world undergoing unprecedented transformation just as one literary critic recently claimed that only the new aesthetic of exploratory 5 excess can address a world undergoing . . . well, you know. Yet in early-twentieth-century England, T. S. Eliot, a man fascinated by the presence of the past, wrote the most innovative poetry of his time. The lesson for todays literary community seems obvious: a reorientation toward tradition would benefit writers no less than 10 readers. But if our writers and critics indeed respect the novels rich tradition (as they claim to), then why do they disdain the urge to tell an exciting story? 2. Select and indicate the best answer from among the five answer choices: The author of the passage suggests that present-day readers would particularly benefit from which of the following changes on the part of present-day writers and critics? A An increased focus on the importance of engaging the audience in a narrative B Modernization of the traditional novelistic elements already familiar to readers C Embracing aspects of fiction that are generally peripheral to the interest of readers D A greater recognition of how the tradition of the novel has changed over time E A better understanding of how certain poets such as Eliot have influenced fiction of the present time 3. Select and indicate the best answer from among the five answer choices: The word address appears underlined and in boldface twice in the first sentence of the passage (lines 2-5). In the context of the passage as a whole, address is closest in meaning to A reveal B belie C speak to D direct attention toward E attempt to remediate Questions for GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) |
