    Examples I

    The passage:

    Basketball was invented in 1891 by a physical education instructor in Springfield,


    Massachusetts, by the name of James Naismith. Because of the terrible weather in
    winter, his physical education students were indoors rather than outdoors. They really
    did not like the idea of boring, repetitive exercises and preferred the excitement and
    challenge of a game. Naismith figured out a team sport that could be played indoors on
    a gymnasium floor, that involved a lot of running, that kept all team members
    involved, and that did not allow the tackling and physical contact of American-style
    football.

    The question:

    1. What is the main idea of this passage?


    (A) The life of James Naismith
    (B) The history of sports
    (C) Physical education and exercise
    (D) The origin of basketball

    Examples II
    The passage:

    Early maps of the North American continent showed a massive river that began in the
    Rocky Mountains, flowed into the Great Salt Lake, and from there continued westward into
    the Pacific Ocean. This river, named the Buenaventura River, on some maps rivaled the
    great Mississippi River. This mythical river of course does not exist. Perhaps an early
    mapmaker, hypothesized that such a river probably existed; perhaps a smaller river was
    seen and its path from the Rockies to the Pacific was assumed. As late as the middle of the
    nineteenth century this river was still on maps and explorers
    were still searching for it.

    The question:

    2. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

    (A) Early Maps of North America


    (B) A Non-Existent River on Maps
    (C) A Comparison of the Buenaventura and the Mississippi Rivers
    (D) Rivers in Mythology
    Example:

    The passage:

    The Florida Keys are a beautiful chain of almost 1,000 coral and limestone islands These islands form an arc that
    heads first southwest and then west from the mainland. U.S. Highway 1, called the Overseas Highway connects the
    main islands in the chain. On this highway, it is necessary to cross 42 bridges over the ocean to cover the 159 miles
    from Miami on the mainland, to Key West the farthest island on the highway and the southernmost city in the
    United States.

    The questions:

    1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the Florida Keys?


    (A) The Florida Keys are a chain of islands.
    (B) The Florida Keys contain coral and limestone
    (C) The Florida Keys are in the shape of an arc.
    (D) The Florida Keys are not all inhabited.

    2. Which of the following is NOT true about U.S. Highway 1?

    (A) It is also known as the Overseas Highway


    (B) It joins all of the islands in the Florida Keys.

    (D) It connects Miami and Key West

    Examples
    The passage:

    The words “capital” and “capitol” are confused in spelling


    and in meaning by a lot of people who try to use them. Both
    their spellings and their meanings are quite closely related. A
    “capital “ is the location of the center of government while a
    “capitol” is the actual building where the government officials
    meet. Thus, in the United States for example, the Capitol
    building is located in Washington, D.C. which is the capital
    city of the United States.

    The questions:

    1. Where in the passage does the author define the word “capital”?
    (A) Lines 1 - 2
    (B) Line 3
    (C) Line 4
    (D) Lines 6 – 8

    2. Where in the passage does the author mention where the U.S. Capitol can be found?
    (A) Lines 1 - 2
    (B) Line 3
    (C) Lines 4 - 5
    (D) Line 6 - 8
