Put a check by the two inferences that are most logically based on the information given in the following cartoon (pg. 283).
The woman dislikes using a computer.
The woman spends too much time in front of a computer.
Something has gone wrong on the computer, but the woman knows what to do about it.
The woman knows that many problems in life have no easy solutions.
The man and the woman dislike each other.
Read the following passage and then check the two inferences that are most firmly based on the information given.
Because children have to attend school until they are 16, our classes are crowded with troublemakers who do not want to be there. These troublemakers make it difficult for serious students to get an education. Teachers must spend most of their time merely trying to keep the troublemakers under control, rather than actually teaching the good students. By the time a student is 13, it is clear whether he or she is serious about school or is only going to play the fool there. At that age, the troublemakers should be allowed to drop out, so that the good students can get on with their education.
Required attendance in school creates more problems than it solves.
Students today are creating more problems than they did in the past.
Students who are troublemakers at age 13 often mature and turn out to be good students.
If troublemakers were allowed to drop out at age 13, serious students would get a better education.
Students want to drop out of school because students and teachers are doing a good job.
Read the following paragraph and then choose the item that best expresses the main idea.
Most American parents wait until their children are at least two years old before teaching them how to use the toilet. Teaching infants to use the toilet early will help keep them comfortable and happy. The young children will not have to deal with irritating moisture and uncomfortable diaper rash. Early toilet training can also save parents and communities a lot of cash. Parents can save up to $3,000 on disposable diapers, and communities will not have to deal with expenses caused by so much trash. In addition, toilet training may help parents form early bonds with their infants. Parents must pay close attention to their children's signals so that they know when their children need to use the toilet. By giving their children more attention and learning how to understand these signals, parents can start building a strong relationship with their children at a very early age.
It is extremely difficult to toilet-train an infant.
Most parents are too busy to toilet-train an infant.
There are real benefits to toilet-training children at younger ages.
Forcing infants to use the toilet makes them angry and resentful of adults.
