Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that followon the basis of the information provided in the passage.
For a period of more than two centuries paleontologists have been intrigued b thefossili!ed remains of pterosaurs" the first fling vertebrates. #he issues" which pu!!le
them" are how these heav creatures" having a wingspan of about $-1% metersmanaged the various problems associated with powered flight and whether these
creatures were reptiles or birds.&erhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that the were
reptiles. #heir s'ulls" pelvises" and hind feet are reptilian. #he anatom of their wingssuggests that the did not evolve into the class of birds. (n pterosaurs a greatl
elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a wingli'e membrane. #he other
fingers were short and reptilian" with sharp claws. (n birds the second finger is theprincipal strut of the wing" which consists primaril of feathers. (f the pterosaurs
wal'ed on all fours" the three short fingers ma have been emploed for grasping.)hen a pterosaurs wal'ed or remained stationar" the fourth finger" and with it thewing" could onl urn upward in an e*tended inverted +- shape along each side of the
animal,s bod.(n resemblance the were e*tremel similar to both birds and bats" with regard to
their overall bod structure and proportion. #his is hardl surprising as the design ofan fling vertebrate is subect to aerodnamic constraints. oth the pterosaurs and
the birds have hollow bones" a feature that represents a savings in weight. #here is adifference" which is that the bones of the birds are more massivel reinforced b
internal struts./lthough scales tpicall cover reptiles" the pterosaurs probabl had hair coats. #.0.
0u*le reasoned that fling vertebrates must have been warm-blooded because
fling implies a high rate of metabolism" which in turn implies a high internaltemperature. 0u*le speculated that a coat of hair would insulate against loss ofbod heat and might streamline the bod to reduce drag in flight. #he recent
discover of a pterosaur specimen covered in long" dense" and relativel thic' hairli'e fossil material was the first clear evidence that his reasoning was correct.
ome paleontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs umped from s droppedfrom trees or perhaps rose into the light winds from the crests of waves in order to
become airborne. 2ach theor has its associated difficulties. #he first ma'es a wrongassumption that the pterosaurs hind feet resembled a bat,s and could serve as hoo's
b which the animal could hang in preparation for flight. #he second hpothesisseems unli'el because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without
damaging their wings. #he third calls for high aces to channel updrafts. #he
pterosaurs would have been unable to control their flight once airborne as the wind
from which such waves arose would have been too strong./s seen in the above passage scientists generall agree that:
the pterosaurs could fl over large distances because of their large wingspan.a close evolutionar relationship can be seen between the pterosaurs and bats" when
the structure of their s'eletons is studied.the stud of the fossili!ed remains of the pterosaurs reveals how the solved the
problem associated with powered flightthe pterosaurs were reptiles
&terosaurs wal'ed on all fours.

awa'ened b the occult. /nd at the same time the statement that the world in whichwe live is a four-dimensional space - time continuum is quite a common place
statement.
#his might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ,,commonplace,, b2instein. 9et the difficult lies more in the wording than the ideas. 2instein,s concept
of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain andclear" when what he means b ,,continuum,, becomes clear. / continuum is
something that is continuous" / ruler" for e*ample" is a one-dimensional space
continuum. Iost rulers are divided into inches and frwas7ions" scaled down to one-
si*teenth of an inch.
)ill it be possible to conceive a ruler" which is calibrated to a millionth or billionth ofan inch. (n theor there is no reason wh the steps from point to point should not be

which sailor fi*es his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude andlongitude. /n airplane pilot guides his plane through a three - dimensional
continuum" hence he has to consider not onl latitude and longitude" but also hisheight above the ground. #he continuum of an airplane pilot constitutes space as we
perceive it. (n other words" the space of our world is a three-dimensional continuum.
Nust indicating its position in space is not enough while describing an phsical event"which involves motion. 0ow position changes in time also needs to be mentioned.
#hus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a 6ew 9or'-3hicago e*press" onemust mention not onl that it goes from 6ew-9or' to /lban to racuse to

continuum. #his tpe of graphic representation is familiar to most newspaperreaders a stoc' mar'et chart" for e*ample" pictures financial events in a two-

suggests that the did not evolve into the class of birds. (n pterosaurs a greatlelongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a wingli'e membrane. #he other
fingers were short and reptilian" with sharp claws. (n birds the second finger is theprincipal strut of the wing" which consists primaril of feathers. (f the pterosaurs
wal'ed on all fours" the three short fingers ma have been emploed for grasping.)hen a pterosaurs wal'ed or remained stationar" the fourth finger" and with it the
wing" could onl urn upward in an e*tended inverted +- shape along each side of theanimal,s bod.
(n resemblance the were e*tremel similar to both birds and bats" with regard totheir overall bod structure and proportion. #his is hardl surprising as the design of
an fling vertebrate is subect to aerodnamic constraints. oth the pterosaurs andthe birds have hollow bones" a feature that represents a savings in weight. #here is a
difference" which is that the bones of the birds are more massivel reinforced binternal struts.
/lthough scales tpicall cover reptiles" the pterosaurs probabl had hair coats. #.0.0u*le reasoned that fling vertebrates must have been warm-blooded because
fling implies a high rate of metabolism" which in turn implies a high internal
temperature. 0u*le speculated that a coat of hair would insulate against loss ofbod heat and might streamline the bod to reduce drag in flight. #he recent
discover of a pterosaur specimen covered in long" dense" and relativel thic' hairli'e fossil material was the first clear evidence that his reasoning was correct.ome paleontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs umped from s dropped
from trees or perhaps rose into the light winds from the crests of waves in order tobecome airborne. 2ach theor has its associated difficulties. #he first ma'es a wrong
assumption that the pterosaurs hind feet resembled a bat,s and could serve as hoo'sb which the animal could hang in preparation for flight. #he second hpothesis
seems unli'el because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees withoutdamaging their wings. #he third calls for high aces to channel updrafts. #he
pterosaurs would have been unable to control their flight once airborne as the windfrom which such waves arose would have been too strong.
/s seen in the above passage scientists generall agree that:
the pterosaurs could fl over large distances because of their large wingspan.a close evolutionar relationship can be seen between the pterosaurs and bats" whenthe structure of their s'eletons is studied.
the stud of the fossili!ed remains of the pterosaurs reveals how the solved theproblem associated with powered flight

the statement that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space - timecontinuum is quite a common place statement.
#his might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ,,commonplace,, b2instein. 9et the difficult lies more in the wording than the ideas. 2instein,s concept
of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and
clear" when what he means b ,,continuum,, becomes clear. / continuum issomething that is continuous" / ruler" for e*ample" is a one-dimensional spacecontinuum. Iost rulers are divided into inches and fr)/7ions" scaled down to one-
si*teenth of an inch.
)ill it be possible to conceive a ruler" which is calibrated to a millionth or billionth of
an inch. (n theor there is no reason wh the steps from point to point should not beeven smaller. )hat distinguishes a continuum is the f)/7 that the space between
an two points can be sub-divided into an infinite number of smaller divisions.
/ railroad trac' is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the engineer of a
train can describe his position at an time b citing a single co-ordinate point - i.e." a
station or a milestone. / sea captain" however" has to worr about two dimensions.#he surface of the sea is a two-dimensional continuum and the co-ordinate points bwhich sailor fi*es his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and
longitude. /n airplane pilot guides his plane through a three - dimensionalcontinuum" hence he has to consider not onl latitude and longitude" but also his
height above the ground. #he continuum of an airplane pilot constitutes space as weperceive it. (n other words" the space of our world is a three-dimensional continuum.
Nust indicating its position in space is not enough while describing an phsical event"which involves motion. 0ow position changes in time also needs to be mentioned.
#hus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a 6ew 9or' - 3hicago e*press"
one must mention not onl that it goes from 6ew - 9or' to /lban to racuse to3leveland to #oledo to 3hicago" but also the times at which it touches each of those
points. #his can be done either b means of a timetable or a visual chart. (f the miles
between 6ew 9or' and 3hicago are plotted hori!ontall on a piece of ruled paper andthe hours and minutes are plotted verticall" then a diagonal line properl drawn
across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two-dimensional space - timecontinuum. #his tpe of graphic representation is familiar to most newspaper
readers a stoc' mar'et chart"
For e*ample" pictures financial events in a two - dimensional dollar - time continuum.
imilarl for the best picturisation of the flight of an airplane from 6ew 9or' to 7os/ngeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is essential. #he latitude"
longitude and altitude will onl ma'e sense to the traffic manager of the airline if thetime co - ordinate is also mentioned. #herefore time is the fourth dimension. (f a
