Researchers have long hypothesized that woolly mammoths were hunted to extinction in North America by humans using spears with grooved tips known as Clovis points. One anthropologist set out to test this hypothesis. Using a mechanical spear-thrower,he launched spears with Clovis points into mounds of clay—substitutes for the animals' large bodies. The projectiles generally penetrated only a few inches into the clay, an amount insufficient to have harmed most woolly mammoths. This led the anthropologist to conclude that hunters using spears with Clovis points likely weren't the principal drivers of the extinction.

Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?

ATo argue for the significance of new findings amid an ongoing debate among researchers.BTo discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the method used in an experiment.CTo summarize two competing hypotheses and a major finding associated with each one.DTo describe an experiments whose results cast doubt on an established hypothesis.

In what is now Washington state, the Tulalip Tribes operate the Hibulb Cultural Center. Relying on traditional knowledge to guide the design of exhibits, this institution presents Tulalip history and culture to the tribes' citizens. The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, a tribe in North Dakota, employs a similar strategy in its own cultural center. Both centers contrast with museums that aren't Indigenous-led; when displaying Indigenous artifacts, such museums tend to anticipate mainly non Indigenous audiences and rely on Eurocentric strategies for designing exhibits.

Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?

AIt describes how tribal cultural centers designed exhibits of a particular set of artifacts, then analyzes how non-lndigenousinstitutions designed exhibits of the same artifacts
Bit examines how tribal citizens respond to exhibits at tribal cultural centers, then speculates how non lndiaenous audiences would respond to the same exhibits.
Cit discusses two cultural centers operated by tribes, then compares them with non-Indigenous institutions that presen Indigenous exhibits.
DIt outlines an early strategy for exhibit design used by one tribal cultural center, then explains a newer strategy used by a different tribal cultural center.

Text 1
The University of Wisconsin and the online class provider Coursera are two of the many institutions offering training programs in entrepreneurship. But what results do such programs produce? In a study of aspiring entrepreneurs in the United States, researcher James Chrisman and colleagues addressed this question and reported that participants who received entrepreneurial training showed high performance at their jobs.
Text 2
While studies of entrepreneurial training typically report positive results, a close look reveals widespread methodological shortcomings that could explain those findings. These studies are plagued by insufficient sample sizes, a lack of control groups, and failures to establish pretraining baselines for the measured attributes of participants.
Based on the texts, the author of Text 2 would most likely wantto know if Chrisman and colleagues took steps to precludewhich potential objection to the finding described in Text 1?

AThe participants would have shown greater responsivenessto the training if the training sessions had lasted longer.

BThe participants would have been less likely to show highperformance at their jobs if the study sample size had beensmaller.

CThe participants would have shown high performance at theirjobs regardless of whether they received the training

DThe participants would have responded to the trainingdifferently if they had not known that they were participatingin a study

"Cocoa" is an example of a loanword——that is, a word that originated in one language and was later adopted by another. The word came to English indirectly from cacao, the Spanish word for the plant that chocolate is made from. Spanish had borrowed it from Nahuatl, an Indigenous language of Central Mexico, in which the word's original form is cacahuatl. "Puma" is also Indigenous in origin and entered English through Spanish. But in this case, the original source was Quechua, a language of South America, in which the word for the mountain lion is also puma.
The author makes which point about the Spanish language?

AIt has served as a medium through which Indigenouslanguages have influenced English.

BIts contribution to English vocabulary roughly equals thecollective contribution by Indigenous languages

CIt adopted Nahuatl and Quechua words in approximatelyequal numbers

DIt has borrowed words from indigenous languages andcontributed words to them.

In Bolivia, use of solid fuel (e.g., coal, wood) as a share of total household fuel use fell by more than half between 2000 and 2015; such shifts are typically explained by appeal to the energy ladder, a model holding that fuel choice is mediated mainly by household income (specifically, high-technology fuels displace solid fuels as incomes rise). Richard Hosier and Jeffrey Dowd's study of fuel use in Zimbabwe shows how reductive this model is, however: although income of course constrained fuel choice, several factors, including the difficulty of acquiring fuel sources, influenced decisions.
Based on the text, the author would most likely agree withwhich statement about household income?

AIt can explain some but not all of the differences in fuel choiceacross households

BIt is often said to influence household fuel choice but actuallydoes not.

CIt affects household fuel choice but not for the reasonsassumed by the energy ladder model

Veronica L. Bura, Akito Y. Kawahara, and Jayne E. Yack investigated the evolution and function of sound production in silk moth and hawk moth caterpillars. They found that during harmless simulated attacks on isolated caterpillars, 33% of the tested species produced sound, which ranged from clicks in Actias luna to whistles in Rhodinia fugax. Although some insects use sound to communicate with members of the same species, the researchers claim that the caterpillar sounds recorded in their study are directed primarily at predators.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support Bura andcolleagues' claim?

AIn most cases, the sound that a caterpillar species producedduring simulated attacks was not produced by othercaterpillar species during simulated attacks

BChickens and yellow warblers, two predators of caterpillars.have been observed to stop their attacks in response tocaterpillar sounds.

CEach caterpillar species tended to produce one sound duringsimulated attacks,although individuals occasionally made avariety of other sounds during simulated attacks as well.

In dialects of English spoken in Scotland, the "r" sound is strongly emphasized when it appears at the end of syllables (as in "car") or before other consonant sounds (as in "bird"). English dialects of the Upland South, a region stretching from Oklahoma to western Virginia, place similar emphasis on "r" at the ends of syllables and before other consonant sounds. Historical records show that the Upland South was colonized largely by people whose ancestors came from Scotland. Thus, linguists have concluded that
