Reading:
A. The topic is given for each of these paragraphs. Remember that
the topic must be part of the main idea sentence. Read each
paragraph. Then select the answer choice that expresses its implied
main idea.
1. Autocratic leaders are hands-on leaders who keep strict control over
group members and their activities. They ask few questions, make the
decisions, give orders, and are likely to use coercion to make others carry
out their assignments. Lenient leaders are hands-off leaders who leave most
of the decisions to the group and tend not to get involved. Democratic
leaders encourage group participation in decision-making and problem
solving. Their style falls between the other two extremes.
3. How far is it to the Sun? It's so far that it's hard to comprehend. In
actual distance, it's approximately 93 million miles. The distance changes
slightly as the Earth travels around the Sun. Suppose it were possible to
take a jetliner there, traveling at a little over 550 mph, it would take nearly
20 years to get there. Even if you could travel at 25,000 mph, it would take
five months to reach the Sun.
5. There is a common belief that while the dog is man’s best friend, the
coyote is his worst enemy. The bad reputation of the coyote traces back to
his fondness for small animals. It hunts at night and is particularly
destructive to sheep, young pigs, and poultry. Yet it is sometimes wise to
encourage coyotes. Provided valuable farm animals are protected, the
coyote will often free the property of other animals, like rabbits, which ruins
the crops and certain trees. Cayotes are especially beneficial in keeping
down the rat population.
