Paragraph Comprehension
Question: 146
I returned from the City about three o’clock on that May afternoon pretty well disgusted with life. I had been three months in the Old Country and was fed up with it. If people had told me a year ago that I would’ve been feeling like that I should’ve laughed at them; but there was the fact. The weather made me liverish, the talk of the ordinary Englishman made me sick, I couldn’t get enough exercise, and the amusements of London seemed as flat as soda water that had been standing in the sun.

The passage is about children under 18; no conclusion can be drawn about what the author thinks people over 18 should do, so Choice "adults over 18 can watch as much television as they want" is incorrect.
Question: 148
To write or not to write – that is the question. If assigned a writing task, there’s no option. However, if someone is looking for a specific answer, find out if they need a short answer or a detailed one. Can the requirement be met with a telephone call, e-mail, or short note, or is something more necessary? A former CEO of a major corporation once commented that he had looked at 13,000 pieces of paper in a 5-day period. Think how much easier and more economical it would be if people would use the telephone, send an e-mail, or write a short note.
The main point of this passage is .
1. Written records are important as they provide detailed documentation.
2. More business people should invest time and energy improving their writing skills.
3. Writing may not be the best way to communicate information.
4. It’s pointless for business people to spend time improving their writing skills.
Answer: C
Choices "Written records are important as they provide detailed documentation." and "More business people should invest time and energy improving their writing skills." may be true in certain situations, but they’re not the point of this particular paragraph.
The passage doesn’t say anything about working to improve writing skills being a waste of time, so Choice "It’s pointless for business people to spend time improving their writing skills" is incorrect. The main point of the paragraph is that writing may not be the most efficient way of communicating, depending on the situation. Question: 149
ransistor, a small, solid-state device that can amplify sound, was invented in 1947. At first, it was too nsive and too difficult to produce to be used in cheap, mass-market products. By 1954, though, these cos ction problems had been overcome, and the first transistor radio was put on the market.
rding to this passage, ___________.
ere was no market for transistors before 1954
hen transistors could be produced cheaply and easily, the transistor radio was put on the market ansistors were invented in 1947 by order of the Department of Defense
ansistors are still expensive to produce
er: B
ucts with transistors weren’t widely sold before 1954 because of the expense and difficulty of production, use markets didn’t exist; so Choice "there was no market for transistors before 1954" is incorrect. Choic sistors were invented in 1947 by order of the Department of Defense" and "transistors are still expensiv uce" aren’t supported in the passage. The passage states that the problem of transistors being expensive ult to produce was solved by 1954.

Question: 151
Cloud seeding is accomplished by dropping particles of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) from a plane onto super- cooled clouds. This process encourages condensation of water droplets in the clouds, which usually, but not always, results in rain or snow.
From this passage, it’s reasonable to assume that .
1. cloud seeding could be used to end a drought
2. cloud seeding is prohibitively expensive
3. cloud seeding is rarely used
4. cloud seeding can be accomplished by using regular ice
Answer: A
One can assume that causing rain or snow would end a drought. Nothing in the passage has to do with expense, so Choice "cloud seeding is prohibitively expensive" is incorrect.
The passage says nothing about how frequently the process is used, so Choice "cloud seeding is rarely used" is incorrect.

do-European languages are spoken in areas all over the world
do-European languages include all the languages spoken in the world ly Europeans speak Indo-European languages
do-European language speakers can easily understand one another
er: A
languages are excluded from the Indo-European language group, so Choice "Indo-European language de all the languages spoken in the world" is incorrect.
ns, Iranians, Asians, and Afghans aren’t Europeans, so Choice "only Europeans speak Indo-European ages" is incorrect.
assage gives no evidence to support Choice "Indo-European language speakers can easily understand o er", which isn’t true.

With privatized functions, the government may specify quality ity, and timeliness requirements, but it has no control over the operations of the activity. Also, the gover ot be the only customer. Whoever the government chooses to provide the services would likely provide ervices to others.
aragraph best supports the statement that __________.
The passage specifies that dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is used; solid water (regular ice) is a different chemical, so Choice "cloud seeding can be accomplished by using regular ice" is wrong.

2. privatized functions consist of a mixture of government employees, military personnel, and private contractors
3. privatized functions are those institutions that provide services only to a government agency
4. privatized functions provide essential services to the government
Answer: D
Privatized functions operate independently of the government, making Choices "the government must closely supervise privatized functions" and "privatized functions consist of a mixture of government employees, military personnel, and private contractors" incorrect.
The passage states that privatized functions may sell goods and services to other customers as well as the
government, so Choice "privatized functions are those institutions that provide services only to a government agency" is also incorrect.
Choice "privatized functions provide essential services to the government" is the correct answer, as privatized functions do perform essential services to government agencies.
Question: 154
An important stage of personal time management is to take control of appointments. Determined by external obligation, appointments constitute interaction with other people and an agreed-on interface between your activities and those of others. Start with a simple appointment diary.

The questions are accurate and updated, so I did not encounter any issues during the exam and received a high score.
User: Matias*****

This was my first time using killexams.com for my education, and I did not know what to expect. To my pleasant surprise, killexams.com provided me with real and valid ASVAB practice tests, along with practice tests that were of high quality. The exam simulator and practice tests were reliable, and the questions were actual exam questions. I was left with a great impression and would not hesitate to recommend killexams.com to my colleagues.
User: Nina*****

People often believe that to succeed in the ASVAB exam, a scholar needs to possess a sharp brain. While this is true, it is also essential for the instructor or trainer to be adequately certified and educated. I am grateful to have been familiar with Killexams.com, where I met brilliant educators who taught me how to pass my ASVAB exam with ease. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
User: Agatha*****

The exam coaching package provided the questions I was asked on the exam, which I did not think was possible. The material seems to be frequently updated to keep up with the official updates made to the asvab exam. The exam simulator runs smoothly and is very user-friendly. I have no complaints about it.
