Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Since an "intact nuclear family" contrasts with "today's" marital trends, it is clear that the sentence refers to the nuclear family as something out of the past. Thus, for the second blank, a word like traditional (choice (E)) or possibly obsolete (choice (B)) is needed. Choice E is better because the word astonishing sets up the appropriate contrast, whereas the idea that the belief is encouraging suggests a value judgment unsupported by the rest of the sentence.

NEW QUESTION 176
Like paleontologists who interpret timescales from fossil evidence, we infer the history of star formation in the Milks' Way galaxy from the heavy-element composition of its stars. According to the big bang theory of the origin of the universe, the first gas clouds-and the first generation of stars formed from them-were composed of pure hydrogen and helium; most heavier elements- iron and calcium, for example-came later, created by explosions of supernovas, massive stars in their death thaws. Loaded with heavy elements, material ejected from supernovas enriched the interstellar gas clouds from which the next generation of stars formed, the level of heavy elements increasing with succeeding generations. Because most stars live for many billions of years and because the Milky Way is thus composed of multiple stellar generations, comparing the number of stars of low heavy-element abundance with those of high heavy-element abundance enables astronomers to untangle the history of star formation in the Milky Way.
The passage implies that if a star contains calcium, then the
- A. star does not belong to the first generation of stars
- B. star does not contain any hydrogen or helium
- C. calcium was not formed by the explosion of a supernova

NEW QUESTION 181
Many shipwrecks dating from the period between A.D. 300 and 600 have been discovered in the Remain Sea.
Well over half of those ships were carrying cargo stored in large ceramic jars, many of which were preserved largely intact on the ocean floor. During that period, such jars carried only liquid. Therefore, liquid cargo was probably carried by a majority of the cargo ships that navigated the Ramian Sea during that period.
The force of the evidence cited in the passage is most seriously weakened if which of the following is true?
- A. For ships on the Ramian Sea during the period, a full load of liquid cargo stored in large ceramic jars was not likely to be significantly heavier than a full load of other kinds of cargo that were typical of the period.
- B. During the period, grain and other solid cargo was shipped across the Ramian Sea in containers made from material other than clay.
- C. The presence of a sizable quantity of large ceramic jars on the ocean floor is so visually striking that a shipwreck of a ship carrying such jars is more likely to be noticed and reported than are shipwrecks of ships carrying other cargoes.
- D. There are no surviving records dating from the period that detail specific cargoes shipped across the Ramian Sea.
- E. The ratio of liquid to solid cargo shipped across the Ramian Sea did not vary significantly over the period.

NEW QUESTION 188
The author's overall concern is with describing the process researchers are following to identify the genes responsible for preventing cell death and with the direction (and goals) of current research based on their findings. Of the five choices, choice B best expresses the gist of the discussion. enterprise was prepared for privatization and which form was most suitable for it. Slow privatization, some claim, is the only way to establish true private ownership, because only those who must pay for enterprise-ownership rights will be engaged in its management. But this method would only prolong the core problems of inefficiency and misallocation of labor and capital, and hence either of two approaches to rapid privatization is preferable.
Under one such approach, shares of an enterprise would be distributed among its employees, who would become its owners. This socialist reform method is deeply flawed; it discriminates in favor of workers who happen to be employed by modern, efficient enterprises, and it jeopardizes workers' property by requiring them to invest in the same enterprise in which they are employed, rather than diversifying their investments. The better approach involves distribution of enterprise shares, free of charge, among all the people by means of vouchers - a kind of investment money. Some critics charge that voucher holders would not be interested in how their enterprises are managed - as may be true of small corporate shareholders in capitalist countries who pay little attention to their investments until the corporation's profits wane, at which time they rush to sell their securities. But while the resulting fall in stock prices can be perilous for the corporation, this very pressure is what drives private firms toward efficiency and profitability. Other detractors predict that most people will sell their vouchers to foreign capitalists.
However, these skeptics ignore the capacity of individuals to compare the future flow of income secured by a voucher to the benefits of immediate consumption. Moreover, even if an individual should decide to sell, the aim of voucher privatization is to secure equality not of property but of opportunity.
In responding to "skeptics" who claim that people will sell their vouchers to foreign capitalists (lines 70-77), the author implies that
- A. skeptics of privatization do not understand how capitalism works
- B. foreign capitalists are less interested in the success of voucher privatization than in making a profit
- C. foreign capitalists will not be willing to pay a fair price for the vouchers
- D. foreign investment in a nation's enterprises may adversely affect currency exchange rates
- E. the future flow of income may often exceed the present exchange value of a voucher
Answer: E
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The author responds to the skeptics' claim by pointing out that people are likely to weigh the future flow of income from a voucher against the benefits of selling their vouchers now and using the proceeds for consumption. Were people not likely (at least in many cases) to hold their vouchers after weighing these two alternatives, the author would not have made this argument. Thus, the author is implying that, indeed, in PART II: Diagnosing Strengths and Weaknesse many cases the future flow of income from a voucher will exceed the present value of the voucher.

NEW QUESTION 192
The importance of the Bill of Rights in twentieth-century United States law and politics has led some historians to search for the "original meaning" of its most controversial clauses. This approach. known as
"originalism." presumes that each right codified in the Bill of Rights had au independent history that can be studied in isolation from the histories of other rights, and its proponents ask how formulations of the Bill of Rights in 1791 reflected developments in specific areas of legal thinking at that time. Legal and constitutional historians, for example, have found originalism especially useful in the study of provisions of the Bill of Rights that were innovative by eighteenth-century standards, such as the Fourth Amendment's broadly termed protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures." Recent calls in the legal and political arena for a return to a "jurisprudence of original intention." however, have made it a matter of much more than purely scholarly interest when originalists insist that a clause's true meaning was fixed at the moment of its adoption, or maintain that only those rights explicitly mentioned in the United States Constitution deserve constitutional recognition and protection. These two claims seemingly lend support to the notion that an interpreter must apply fixed definitions of a fixed number of rights to contemporary issues, for the claims imply that the central problem of rights in the Revolutionary era was to precisely identity, enumerate, and define those rights that Americans felt were crucial to protecting their liberty.
Both claims, however, are questionable from the perspective of a strictly historical inquiry, however sensible they may seem from the vantage point of contemporary jurisprudence. Even though originalists are correct in claiming that the search for original meaning is inherently historical, historians would not normally seek.
The passage suggests that a historian conducting a strictly historical inquiry would make which of the following assumptions when studying the Bill of Rights?
- A. Legistators of the Revolutionary era were preoccupied with defining and enumerating those rights that were crucial to individual liberty.
- B. It is possible to determine why a particular clause was included in the Bill of Rights.
- C. The framers of the Bill of Rights sought to define each right in strict and narrow terms.
- D. The results of historical inquiry into the true meaning of its clauses must be applied to contemporary issues.
- E. Developments in thinking about individual rights ended after the codification of those rights.
