 READING COMPREHENSION

Directions: Each passage below is followed by questions based on its content. Read each passage
carefully and answer the questions and/or complete the statements given under each item.

Passage 1

Mercury, is the only metal which keeps its liquid form at normal temperature. It can be poured from one vessel
into another exactly as water is poured. Consequently, scientists were not certain that it was a metal until a
chemist named Braune was able to freeze it into solid in 1759. Mercury was certainly known, however, as
early as 300 B.C., when it was described by a Greek writer as "liquid silver." It is also called quicksilver, and
most people know it by that name.

Mercury is an extremely valuable metal. It is an essential part of many of our most useful drugs and
medicines, and it would be almost impossible to get along without it. Large quantities of it are used in the
mixing of paints, in making of explosives, and in the manufacture of electrical and scientific apparatus.
Mercury is perhaps most commonly known in the making of thermometers.

Mercury is sometimes found in its free state among rocks, but most of it comes from a beautiful red Ore called
cinnabar, which is mercury mixed with sulfur.

91. Which question does this article as a whole answer best?

(A) Where and how was mercury first discussed?
(B) What are the principal uses of mercury?
(C) Where is mercury found?
(D) What are some interesting facts concerning mercury?
(E) How is mercury formed?

92. Which of the following is not directly stated in the article, but is a reasonable conclusion from reading the
passage?
(A) Mercury is a very expensive metal.
(B) Mercury is most useful in its solid form.
(C) Most metals are solid at normal temperature.
(D) Mercury is always found among rocks.
(E) Scientists in ancient years concluded that mercury was a metal.

Passage 2

A saleslady, working on the cash register at a fast-food restaurant was about to ring up a purchase when the
lights-went out.
"Oh no!" she said, knowing that the computerized machine would not function. "Well, I guess we'll do it the
old-fashioned way," she said, pulling a calculator from the drawer.

93. Which of the following sentences best describes the saleslady?

(A) She is creative.

(B) She is dependent.
(C) She is modern.
(D) She has a serious nature
(E) She has presence of mind

9 Reference: MathHUb
94. A calculator and a computerized machine are different in the sense that a

(A) Computer cannot function without current; a calculator can.

(B) Calculator is more accurate than a computer.
(C) Calculator functions best with electricity; a computer doesn't.
(D) Computer is less expensive than a calculator.
(E) Calculator is more dependable than a computer.

Passage 3

Onions make us cry. Yet they spice up our appetites. Beef stew without onions is like bread without
butter. Onions are frequently used in the preparation of souas, noodles, fried rice, and roast beef among
others. This aromatic herb is typical of the allium group of plants. It is strongly flavored and has a sharp odor.
This is due to the pungent oil that contains sulfur. But onions not only satisfy our stomachs. They also
possess medical uses. They can stimulate bile production, lower the blood sugar levels, cure hypertension,
speed the healing of gunshot wounds, and cure scorpion bites.

95. The word sharp as used in the selection means

(A) having an edge or point
(B) easily seen
(C) very clever
(D) very strong

96. The selection as a whole is about

(A) onions as appetizer

(B) Onions cure scorpion bites.
(C) Onions lower uric acid level.
(D) Onions have medical uses.
(E) Onions cannot cure poisoning.
