Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints—ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our “frailties”—emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love—may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them. And thus they give us our sense of constraints. Unhappily, some of those frailties—our need for ever-increasing security among them—are presently maladaptive. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes. We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure. 1. The primary purpose of the passage is to present (A) a position on the foundations of human behavior and on what those foundations imply (B) a theory outlining the parallel development of human morphology and of human behavior © a diagnostic test for separating biologically determined behavior patterns from culture-specific detail (D) a practical method for resisting the pressures of biologically determined drives (E) an overview of those human emotions and motives that impose constraints on human behavior 2. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the “details” versus “constraints” distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior? (A) The ability of most people to see all the colors of the visible spectrum as against most people’s inability to name any but the primary colors (B) The ability of even the least fortunate people to show compassion as against people’s inability to mask their feelings completely © The ability of some people to dive to great depths as against most people’s inability to swim long distances (D) The psychological profile of those people who are able to delay gratification as against people’s inability to control their lives completely (E) The greater lung capacity of mountain peoples that helps them live in oxygen-poor air as against people’s inability to fly without special apparatus 3. It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that (A) evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones (B) any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory © maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the emergence of other maladaptive characteristics more likely (D) the designation of a characteristic as being maladaptive must always remain highly tentative (E) changes in the total human environment can outpace evolutionary change

(A) Incorrect. Side effects are not discussed - new info (B) Correct © Incorrect. We are told " ... on average 40%" - this mean exact figure could vary. (D) Incorrect. "taking vitamins over the course of life" is not discussed (E) Incorrect. "multiple vitamins" are not discussed.

Vitamin XYZ has long been a favorite among health food enthusiasts. In a recent large study, those who took large amounts of vitamin XYZ daily for two years showed on average a 40 percent lower risk of heart disease than did members of a control groups. Researchers corrected for differences in relevant health habits, such as diet. Which one of the following inference is most supported by the passage? (A) Taking large amount of vitamins is probably worth risking the side effects. (B) Those who take large doses of vitamin XYZ daily for the next two years will exhibit on average an increase in the likelihood of avoiding heart disease. © Li, who has taken large amounts of vitamin XYZ daily for the past two years, has a 40 percent lower risk. (D) Taking large amounts of vitamin XYZ daily over the course of one’s adult life should be recommended to most adults. (E) Health food enthusiasts are probably correct in believing that large daily doses of multiple vitamins promote good health Please support your answers with line of reasoning

Planetary bodies differ from one another in their composition, but most of those in the Solar System have solid surfaces. Unless the core of such a planetary body generates enough heat to cause volcanic action, the surface of the body will not be renewed for millions of years. Any planetary body with a solid surface whose surface is not renewed for millions of years becomes heavily pockmarked by meteorite craters, just like the Earth’s Moon. Some old planetary bodies in the Solar System, such as Europa, a very cold moon belonging to Jupiter, have solid icy surfaces with very few meteorite craters. If the claims above are true, which one of the following must, on the basis of them, be true? (A) The Earth’s Moon does not have an icy surface. (B) If a planetary body does not have a heavily pockmarked surface, its core does not generate enough heat to cause volcanic action. © Some planetary bodies whose cores generate enough heat to cause volcanic action do not have solid icy surfaces. (D) Some of Jupiter’s moons are heavily pockmarked by meteorite craters. (E) Some very cold planetary bodies have cores that generate enough heat to cause volcanic action.
