Even though the noise is occurring in a public place, the citizen should make all complaints regarding a possible law violation to the police department.
The example of the king is used to point out one way Swift used Gulliver’s Travels to highlight his own view of the ridiculousness of society. The king also believes England’s civilization has “many shortcomings.” Answer (D) is tempting, but we do not know anything about the opinions of the author of the passage itself.
Usually, quotation marks are used to convey sarcasm, or to question the typically accepted meaning of a word or phrase. Since Swift questioned society, it’s likely the author uses the quotes to convey Swift’s skepticism.
Choice (A) is accurate because the author uses the phrase "very rarely" to describe how often people actually give money to those in need (rather than to a charity). Choice (B) isn't supported by the text, while alternatives (C) and (D) are all advantages that donors enjoy.
In a process analysis essay, an individual writes to explain how to do something or how something works. A manual is a type of process analysis.
According to the passage, a dark-skinned person should wear SPF 15 in the UK, but SPF 15-30 in Africa. This implies that they could wear a lower SPF in the UK than Africa, if they wore SPF 30 in Africa and SPF 15 in the UK they would still be within these recommended guidelines.
While Swift is critical of England’s society, the author of the passage itself does not present his own point of view. Therefore, the passage could be described as having a neutral tone.
On the right side of the chart, you can see the departments. The history lessons are highlighted in pink, thus you can add up the three classes highlighted in pink (European History, Civics, American History):
8% + 6% + 9% = 23%
When you add up all of the departments, history will have the highest percentage. Science comes in second with 22%.
Your heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times your heart beats per minute. It’s the number next to the PUL abbreviation on the heart rate monitor.
The chapter on ocular degeneration is probably going to be near the page on which glaucoma is discussed, page 543. Answer (A) is the choice closest to page 543.
The primary purpose of the passage is to explore how Swift expressed his “dark view” of humanity in his novel Gulliver’s Travels. Answers (A) and (B) are too broad and extreme to be correct, while (D) is too specific.
Since the passage discusses all the different, important components of a spacesuit, the correct choice will likely mention the word “spacesuit” and impress upon the reader its importance. Answer (A) does this without bringing up new information, as the other choices do. A summary should stick to what information is already presented in the passage.
The final paragraph mentions this system as the one that “contains the oxygen that astronauts breathe during a spacewalk.”
The right choice is (A). An index lists the page numbers where a certain word or phrase is mentioned and discussed.
The shortest route from Argyle to Kelvinhall starts on the suburban rail: Argyle to Central (stop 1) to Anderston (stop 2) to Exhibition Centre (stop 3) to Partick (stop 4). From Partick you can switch to the underground and take that to Kelvinhall (stop 5).
The third paragraph mentions how the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment keeps astronauts cool during the spacewalk with water that flows through tubes along the astronaut’s body.
The most reasonable inference is the one that is closest to what is directly stated in the passage. The passage states in the second paragraph that Swift raised his questions “through satire” to “point out the underlying ridiculousness of the society around him.”
The first sentence describes the test as “blood glucose” or “PG” – it’s likely PG stands for plasma glucose, as plasma is a near-synonym for blood. Likely the test measures the amount of glucose in the blood.
The passage says that the test is “reliable” because “the results aren’t affected” by other factors. Most likely, doctors view the test as accurate.
From Queen Street to Partick there is only one stop in between on suburban rail: Charing Cross. From Buchanan Street to Partick there are five stops on the underground. This is a difference of four stops.
The passage does not go into details of what Swift believes was the lowest forms of human behavior.
