Re: GRE Test Papers Solutions
Here I am giving you sample question paper for graduate record examination in PDF file attached with it so you can get it easily. 21. The passage asserts which of the following about the exposures involved in the “research on olfactory adaptation”( )? A The exposures are of long enough duration for researchers to investigate many aspects of olfactory adaptation. B The exposures have rarely consisted of reexposures following extended absences from the odorous environment. C The exposures are intended to reproduce the relatively transient olfactory changes typical of exposures to odors in natural environments. D Those exposures of relatively short duration are often insufficient to produce the phenomenon of receptor fatigue in study subjects. E Those exposures lasting several hours produce reductions in receptors in the olfactory epithelium that are similar to the reductions caused by prolonged odor stimulation. 22. The author of the passage discusses “receptor fatigue”( )primarily in order to A explain the physiological process through which long-lasting reductions in response are thought to be produced B provide an example of a process that subjects would probably not experience during a prolonged period of odorant stimulation C help illustrate how the information gathered from most olfactory research may not be sufficient to describe the effects of extended exposures to odors D show how studies of short-term olfactory adaptation have only accounted for the reductions in response that follow relatively brief absences from an odorous environment E qualify a statement about the severity and duration of the perceptual changes caused by exposure to chronically present ambient odors Questions 23 and 24 are based on this passage. Among academics involved in the study of Northern Renaissance prints (reproducible graphic artworks), an orthodox position can be said to have emerged. This position regards Renaissance prints as passive representations of their time—documents that reliably record contemporary events, opinions, and beliefs—and therefore as an important means of accessing the popular contemporary consciousness. In contrast, pioneering studies such as those by Scribner and Moxey take a strikingly different approach, according to which Northern Renaissance prints were purposeful, active, and important shaping forces in the communities that produced them. Scribner, for example, contends that religious and political prints of the German Reformation (ca. 1517–1555) functioned as popular propaganda: tools in a vigorous campaign aimed at altering people’s behavior, attitudes, and beliefs. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply. 23. The passage suggests that an adherent to the “orthodox position”( )would agree with which of the following statements? A Northern Renaissance prints should be regarded as passive representations of their time. B Northern Renaissance prints were part of a campaign aimed at altering contemporary thinking. C Northern Renaissance prints provide reliable records of contemporary events, opinions, and beliefs. 24. Replacement of the word “passive”( ) which of the following words results in the least change in meaning for the passage? A disinterested B submissive C flaccid D supine E unreceptive Question 25 is based on this passage. Recently an unusually high number of dolphins have been found dead of infectious diseases, and most of these had abnormally high tissue concentrations of certain compounds that, even in low concentrations, reduce dolphins’ resistance to infection. The only source of these compounds in the dolphins’ environment is boat paint. Therefore, since dolphins rid their bodies of the compounds rapidly once exposure ceases, their mortality rate should decline rapidly if such boat paints are banned. 25. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? A The levels of the compounds typically used in boat paints today are lower than they were in boat paints manufactured a decade ago. B In high concentrations, the compounds are toxic to many types of marine animals. C The compounds break down into harmless substances after a few months of exposure to water or air. D High tissue levels of the compounds have recently been found in some marine animals, but there is no record of any of those animals dying in unusually large numbers recently. E The compounds do not leach out of the boat paint if the paint is applied exactly in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions. |
