You may NOT turn to any other section. • Work as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Don’t waste time on questions that seem too difficult for you. Marking Answers • Be sure to mark your answer sheet properly. • You must use a No. 2 pencil. • Carefully mark only one answer for each question. • Make sure you fill the entire circle darkly and completely. • Do not make any stray marks on your answer sheet. • If you erase, do so completely. Incomplete erasures may be scored as intended answers. • Use only the answer spaces that correspond to the question numbers. Using Your Test Book • You may use the test book for scratch work, but you will not receive credit for anything that you write in your test book. • After time has been called, you may not transfer answers from your test book to your answer sheet or fill in circles. • You may not fold or remove pages or portions of a page from this book, or take the book or answer sheet from the testing room. Scoring • For each correct answer, you receive one point. • For questions you omit, you receive no points. • For a wrong answer to a multiple-choice question, you lose one-fourth of a point. If you can eliminate one or more of the answer choices as wrong,you increase your chances of choosing the correct answer andearning one point. If you can’t eliminate any choice, move on.

34 Getting Ready for the SAT ESSAY Time — 25 minutes Turn to page 2 of your answer sheet to write your ESSAY. The essay gives you an opportunity to show how effectively you can develop and express ideas. You should, therefore, take care to develop your point of view, present your ideas logically and clearly, and use language precisely. Your essay must be written on the lines provided on your answer sheet — you will receive no other paper on which to write. You will have enough space if you write on every line, avoid wide margins, and keep your handwriting to a reasonable size. Remember that people who are not familiar with your handwriting will read what you write. Try to write or print so that what you are writing is legible to those readers. Important Reminders: x A pencil is required for the essay. An essay written in ink will receive a score of zero. x Do not write your essay in your test book. You will receive credit only for what you write on your answer sheet. x An off-topic essay will receive a score of zero. x If your essay does not reflect your original and individual work, your test scores may be canceled. You have twenty-five minutes to write an essay on the topic assigned below. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. Nowadays nothing is private: our culture has become too confessional and self-expressive. People think that to hide one’s thoughts or feelings is to pretend not to have those thoughts or feelings. They assume that honesty requires one to express every inclination and impulse. Adapted from J. David Velleman, “The Genesis of Shame” Assignment: Should people make more of an effort to keep some things private? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. BEGIN WRITING YOUR ESSAY ON PAGE 2 OF THE ANSWER SHEET. If you finish before time is called, you may check your work on this section only. Do not turn to any other section in the test.

41 The passages below are followed by questions based on their content; questions following a pair of related passages may also be based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 6-9 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 I know what your e-mail in-box looks like, and it isn’t pretty: a babble of come-ons and lies from hucksters and con artists. To find your real e-mail, you must wade through the torrent of fraud and obscenity known politely as “unsolicited bulk e-mail” and colloquially as “spam.” 5 In a perverse tribute to the power of the online revolution, we are all suddenly getting the same mail: easy weight loss, get-rich-quick schemes, etc. The crush of these mes- sages is now numbered in billions per day. “It’s becoming a major systems and engineering and network problem,” 10 says one e-mail expert. “Spammers are gaining control of the Internet.” Passage 2 Many people who hate spam assume that it is protected as free speech. Not necessarily so. The United States Supreme Court has previously ruled that individuals 15 may preserve a threshold of privacy. “Nothing in the Constitution compels us to listen to or view any unwanted communication, whatever its merit,” wrote Chief Justice Warren Burger in a 1970 decision. “We therefore categori- cally reject the argument that a vendor has a right to send 20 unwanted material into the home of another.” With regard to a seemingly similar problem, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 made it illegal in the United States to send unsolicited faxes; why not extend the act to include unsolicited bulk e-mail? 25 6. The primary purpose of Passage 1 is to (A) make a comparison (B) dispute a hypothesis (C) settle a controversy (D) justify a distinction (E) highlight a concern 7. The primary purpose of Passage 2 is to (A) confirm a widely held belief (B) discuss the inadequacies of a ruling (C) defend a controversial technology (D) analyze a widespread social problem (E) lay the foundation for a course of action 8. What would be the most likely reaction by the author of Passage 1 to the argument cited in lines 16-21 of Passage 2 (“Nothing . . . another”) ? (A) Surprise at the assumption that freedom of speech is indispensable to democracy (B) Dismay at the Supreme Court’s vigorous defense of vendors’ rights (C) Hope that the same reasoning would be applied to all unsolicited e-mail (D) Concern for the plight of mass marketers facing substantial economic losses (E) Appreciation for the political complexity of the debate about spam 9. Unlike the author of Passage 1, the author of Passage 2 (A) criticizes a practice (B) offers an example (C) proposes a solution (D) states an opinion (E) quotes an expert Line

42 Getting Ready for the SAT Questions 10-16 are based on the following passage. The following passage is adapted from a novel set in the early twentieth century. Mr. Beebe, a clergyman, is speaking with Cecil Vyse about a mutual acquaintance, Lucy Honeychurch. Miss Honeychurch has recently returned from a journey with her older cousin and chaperone, Miss Bartlett. “Lucy Honeychurch has no faults,” said Cecil, with grave sincerity. “I quite agree. At present she has none.” “At present?” “I’m not cynical. I’m only thinking of my pet theory 5 about Miss Honeychurch. Does it seem reasonable that she should play piano so wonderfully, and live so quietly? I suspect that someday she shall be wonderful in both. The water-tight compartments in her will break down, and music and life will mingle. Then we shall have her 10 heroically good, heroically bad — too heroic, perhaps, to be good or bad.” Cecil found his companion interesting. “And at present you think her not wonderful as far as life goes?” 15 “Well, I must say I’ve only seen her at Tunbridge Wells, where she was not wonderful, and at Florence. She wasn’t wonderful in Florence either, but I kept on expecting that she would be.” “In what way?” 20 Conversation had become agreeable to them, and they were pacing up and down the terrace. “I could as easily tell you what tune she’ll play next. There was simply the sense that she found wings and meant to use them. I can show you a beautiful picture 25 in my diary. Miss Honeychurch as a kite, Miss Bartlett holding the string. Picture number two: the string breaks.” The sketch was in his diary, but it had been made after- wards, when he viewed things artistically. At the time he had given surreptitious tugs to the string himself. 30 “But the string never broke?” “No. I mightn’t have seen Miss Honeychurch rise, but I should certainly have heard Miss Bartlett fall.” “It has broken now,” said the young man in low, vibrating tones. 35 Immediately he realized that of all the conceited, ludicrous, contemptible ways of announcing an engage- ment this was the worst. He cursed his love of metaphor; had he suggested that he was a star and that Lucy was soaring up to reach him? 40 “Broken? What do you mean?” “I meant,” Cecil said stiffly, “that she is going to marry me.” The clergyman was conscious of some bitter disappointment which he could not keep out of his 45 voice. “I am sorry; I must apologize. I had no idea you were intimate with her, or I should never have talked in this flippant, superficial way. You ought to have stopped me.” And down in the garden he saw Lucy 50 herself; yes, he was disappointed. Cecil, who naturally preferred congratulations to apologies, drew down the corner of his mouth. Was this the reaction his action would get from the whole world? Of course, he despised the world as a whole; 55 every thoughtful man should; it is almost a test of refinement. “I’m sorry I have given you a shock,” he said dryly. “I fear that Lucy’s choice does not meet with your approval.” 60 10.Cecil’s remark in line 1 (“Lucy . . . faults”) is made in a tone of (A) great conviction (B) studied neutrality (C) playful irony (D) genuine surprise (E) weary cynicism 11.Mr. Beebe asks the question in lines 6-7 (“Does . . . quietly”) primarily in order to (A) raise an urgent concern (B) anticipate a possible objection (C) challenge a widely accepted theory (D) note an apparent inconsistency (E) criticize a popular pastime 12.Mr. Beebe’s statement, “The water-tight . . . bad” (lines 9-11), suggests that Lucy will (A) ultimately become a famous and respected musician (B) eventually play music in a less disciplined fashion (C) one day begin to live with great passion (D) soon regret an impetuous decision (E) someday marry a man who will be the cause of her undoing Line

44 Getting Ready for the SAT Questions 17-24 are based on the following passage. The following passage is adapted from a book published in 1999. Calling it a cover-up would be far too dramatic. But for more than half a century — even in the midst of some of the greatest scientific achievements in history — physicists have been quietly aware of a dark cloud looming on a distant horizon. The problem is this: There are two 5 foundational pillars upon which modern physics rests. One is general relativity, which provides a theoretical framework for understanding the universe on the largest of scales: stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and beyond to the immense expanse of the universe itself. The other 10 is quantum mechanics, which provides a theoretical framework for understanding the universe on the small- est of scales: molecules, atoms, and all the way down to subatomic particles like electrons and quarks. Through years of research, physicists have experimentally confirmed 15 to almost unimaginable accuracy virtually all predictions made by each of these theories. But these same theoretical tools inexorably lead to another disturbing conclusion: As they are currently formulated, general relativity and quantum mechanicscannot both be right. The two theories 20 underlying the tremendous progress of physics during the last hundred years — progress that has explained the expansion of the heavens and the fundamental structure of matter — are mutually incompatible. If you have not heard previously about this ferocious 25 antagonism, you may be wondering why. The answer is not hard to come by. In all but the most extreme situations, physicists study things that are either small and light (like atoms and their constituents) or things that are huge and heavy (like stars and galaxies), but not both. This means 30 that they need use only quantum mechanics or only general relativity and can, with a furtive glance, shrug off the bark- ing admonition of the other. For 50 years this approach has not been quite as blissful as ignorance, but it has been pretty close. 35 But the universe can be extreme. In the central depths of a black hole, an enormous mass is crushed to a minuscule size. According to the big bang theory, the whole of the universe erupted from a microscopic nugget whose size makes a grain of sand look colossal. These are realms that 40 are tiny and yet incredibly massive, therefore requiring that both quantum mechanics and general relativity simul- taneously be brought to bear. The equations of general relativity and quantum mechanics, when combined, begin to shake, rattle, and gush with steam like a decrepit auto- 45 mobile. Put less figuratively, well-posed physical questions elicit nonsensical answers from the unhappy amalgam of these two theories. Even if you are willing to keep the deep interior of a black hole and the beginning of the universe shrouded in mystery, you can’t help feeling that 50 the hostility between quantum mechanics and general relativity cries out for a deeper level of understanding. Can it really be that the universe at its most fundamental level is divided, requiring one set of laws when things are large and a different, incompatible set when things are 55 small? Superstring theory, a young upstart compared with the venerable edifices of quantum mechanics and general relativity, answers with a resounding no. Intense research over the past decade by physicists and mathematicians 60 around the world has revealed that this new approach to describing matter at its most fundamental level resolves the tension between general relativity and quantum mechanics. In fact, superstring theory shows more: within this new framework, general relativity and 65 quantum mechanics require one another for the theory to make sense. According to superstring theory, the marriage of the laws of the large and the small is not only happy but inevitable. Superstring theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings 70 in the universe — from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary stars — are reflections of one grand physical principle, one master equation. 17.The “dark cloud” mentioned in line 4 refers to an (A) atypical diagnosis (B) unsupported hypothesis (C) unknown threat (D) evil influence (E) important contradiction 18.Which pairing best represents the different models of the universe presented in lines 7-14 ?

(A) Evidence that certain kinds of particles in nature exceed the speed of light (B) Confirmation of conditions that existed in the earliest stages of the big bang (C) Speculation that the deep interior of a black hole is not as dense as scientists have believed (D) Mathematical formulas that link general relativity and quantum mechanics in the same realm (E) Proof that the laws governing the universe depend on the size of the system being studied 22.The primary reason described for the usefulness of the theory mentioned in line 57 is its ability to (A) explain new phenomena (B) replace the theory of general relativity (C) reinforce the predictions of quantum mechanics (D) indicate where other theories are inapplicable (E) reconcile two seemingly contradictory theories23.Those who hold the “conclusion” referred to in line 18 would most likely believe that the “marriage” (line 68) was an (A) inevitable result of their research (B) unjustifiable elevation of their hypotheses (C) inadvisable use of research funds (D) unfortunate consequence (E) impossible outcome 24.The author uses dance imagery in lines 71-72 in order to (A) suggest a similarity between the study of science and the study of dance (B) highlight the extremes found in the physical world (C) emphasize the different ways that binary stars move (D) illustrate the intricacy of the subatomic world of quarks (E) suggest the cohesive nature of both science and dance STOP If you finish before time is called, you may check your work on this section only.

57 The passages below are followed by questions based on their content; questions following a pair of related passages may also be based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 9-10 are based on the following passage. Newspaper editor and political commentator Henry Louis Mencken was a force of nature, brushing aside all objects animal and mineral in his headlong rush to the publicity that surely awaited him. He seized each day, shook it to within an inch of its life, and 5 then gaily went on to the next. No matter where his writing appeared, it was quoted widely, his pungently outspoken opinions debated hotly. Nobody else could make so many people so angry, or make so many others laugh so hard. 10 9. In lines 4-5, the words “seized” and “shook” help establish which aspect of Mencken’s personality? (A) His code of honor (B) His sense of humor (C) His vindictiveness (D) His intensity (E) His petulance 10.The public response described in lines 6-8 most strongly suggests that Mencken’s writings were (A) authoritative (B) controversial (C) arrogant (D) informal (E) frivolousQuestions 11-12 are based on the following passage. The ability to see the situation as your opponents see it, as difficult as it may be, is one of the most important skills that you can possess as a negotiator. You must know more than simply that they see things differently. It is not enough to study them like beetles under a microscope; 5 you need to know what it feels like to be a beetle. To accomplish this you should be prepared to withhold judgment as you “try on” their views. Your opponents may well believe that their views are right as strongly as you believe yours are. 10 11.The reference to beetles in lines 5-6 serves to suggest that (A) people need to be more attuned to their surroundings (B) effective negotiation is more of a science than an art (C) people can be made to do what they would prefer not to do (D) effective negotiation requires identify- ing with a different viewpoint (E) people feel uncomfortable when their actions are under scrutiny 12.The primary purpose of the passage is to (A) persuade people to defend their positions on critical issues (B) indicate a specific ability that is useful in negotiation (C) encourage people to be more accepting of others (D) argue that few people are fit for the demands of negotiation (E) suggest that negotiators should always seek consensus Line Line

58 Getting Ready for the SAT Questions 13-24 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 is from a 2003 book that examines the famous “I Have a Dream” speech delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. at the historic March on Washington in August 1963. Passage 2 is from a 2000 biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. written by an African American scholar. Passage 1 The ability of the “I Have a Dream” speech to high- light King’s early career at the expense of his later career accounts for the tone of impatience and betrayal that often appears when modern-day supporters of King’s agenda talk about the speech. Former Georgia state legislator Julian 5 Bond said in 1986 that commemorations of King seemed to “focus almost entirely on Martin Luther King the dreamer, not on Martin King the antiwar activist, not on Martin King the challenger of the economic order, not on Martin King the opponent of apartheid, not on the complete Martin 10 Luther King.” One King scholar has proposed a ten-year moratorium on reading or listening to the “I Have a Dream” speech, in the hopes that America will then discover the rest of King’s legacy. This proposal effectively concedes that King’s mag- 15 nificent address cannot be recovered from the misuse and overquotation it has suffered since his death. But it is not clear that this is so. Even now, upon hearing the speech, one is struck by the many forms of King’s genius. Many people can still remember the first time they heard 20 “I Have a Dream,” and they tend to speak of that memory with the reverence reserved for a religious experience. At the very least, reflecting on the “I Have a Dream” speech should be an opportunity to be grateful for the astonishing transformation of America that the freedom movement 25 wrought. In just under a decade, the civil rights move- ment brought down a system of segregation that stood essentially unaltered since Reconstruction. King’s dreams of an America free from racial discrimination are still some distance away, but it is astounding how far the nation has 30 come since that hot August day in 1963. Segregation in the South has been dismantled; there are no longer “Whites Only” signs; segregationist governors do not try to prevent Black children from entering public schools. Toward the end of his life, King preached a sermon entitled 35 “Ingratitude,” in which he called ingratitude “one of the greatest of all sins,” because the sinner “fail[s] to realize his dependence on others.” The annual Martin Luther King holiday is properly a day of national thanksgiving, a time for the nation to recognize the immense debt it owes to 40 King and the thousands of heroes of the civil rights movement for saving the soul of America. Passage 2 Martin Luther King was at his best when he was willing to reshape the wisdom of many of his intellec- tual predecessors. He ingeniously harnessed their ideas 45 to his views to advocate sweeping social change. He believed that his early views on race failed to challenge America fundamentally. He later confessed that he had underestimated how deeply entrenched racism was in America. If Black Americans could not depend on good- 50 will to create social change, they had to provoke social change through bigger efforts at nonviolent direct action. This meant that Blacks and their allies had to obtain political power. They also had to try to restructure American society, solving the riddles of poverty 55 and economic inequality. This is not the image of King that is celebrated on Martin Luther King Day. Many of King’s admirers are uncomfortable with a focus on his mature beliefs. They seek to deflect unfair attacks on King’s legacy by shroud- 60 ing him in the cloth of superhuman heroism. In truth, this shroud is little more than romantic tissue. King’s image has often suffered a sad fate. His strengths have been needlessly exaggerated, his weaknesses wildly over- played. King’s true legacy has been lost to cultural 65 amnesia. As a nation, we have emphasized King’s aspiration to save America through inspiring words and sacrificial deeds. Time and again we replay the powerful image of King standing on a national stage in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial mouthing per- 70 haps the most famous four words ever uttered by a Black American: “I have a dream.” For most Americans, those words capture King’s unique genius. They express his immortal longing for freedom, a longing that is familiar to every person who dares imagine a future beyond unjust 75 laws and unfair customs. The edifying universality of those four words — who hasn’t dreamed, and who cannot identify with people whose dreams of a better world are punished with violence? — helps to explain their durability. But those words survive, too, because they comfort folk who would 80 rather entertain the dreams of unfree people than confront their rage and despair. 13.The authors of both passages agree that King’s “I Have a Dream” speech (A) had significant global as well as national influence (B) has been imitated by many of King’s followers (C) had a profound impact on many Americans (D) was typical of King’s thought as a whole (E) questioned the ethical beliefs of many Americans Line

Day”) mark a transition within Passage 2 from a (A) consideration of King’s views to a critique of people’s understanding of them (B) challenge to King’s beliefs to an acceptance of their cultural resonance (C) discussion of King’s intellectual predecessors to an analysis of his legacy (D) celebration of King’s strengths to an exam- ination of his weaknesses (E) defense of King’s aspirations to an attack on those who fail to support them 21.Lines 76-79 in Passage 2 (“The edifying . . . durability”) are best described as (A) contesting the notion of King’s historical importance that is advanced by the author of Passage 1 (B) providing an explanation for the view of King’s speech that is expressed by the author of Passage 1 (C) challenging the portrait of the civil rights movement that is presented by the author of Passage 1 (D) offering a humorous anecdote that sup- ports a statement made by the author of Passage 1 (E) dismissing a perspective that is similarly rejected by the author of Passage 1 22.Unlike the author of Passage 2, the author of Passage 1 develops his or her argument by (A) citing an authority with whom he or she disagrees (B) referring to a famous speech delivered by King (C) discussing the universal human trait of dreaming (D) dismissing those who fail to understand the subtlety of King’s thought (E) assuming that his or her readers are completely unfamiliar with King’s ideas

66 Getting Ready for the SAT The passage below is followed by questions based on its content. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 7-19 are based on the following passage. In the introduction to one of her dramas, a well-known playwright and actor discusses some of her ideas about acting. Words have always held a particular power for me. I remember leafing through a book of Native American poems one morning while I was waiting for my Shakespeare class to begin and being struck by a phrase from the preface, “The word, the word above all, is truly magical, not only by 5 its meaning, but by its artful manipulation.” This quote, which I added to my journal, reminded me of something my grandfather had told me when I was a girl: “If you say a word often enough it becomes your own.” I added that phrase to my journal next to the quote 10 about the magic of words. When I traveled home to Baltimore for my grandfather’s funeral a year after my journal entry, I mentioned my grandfather’s words to my father. He corrected me. He told me that my grandfather had actually said, “If you say a word often enough, it 15 becomes you.” I was still a student at the time, but I knew even then, even before I had made a conscious decision to teach as well as act, that my grandfather’s words would be important. Actors are very impressionable people, or some would 20 say, suggestible people. We are trained to develop aspects of our memories that are more emotional and sensory than intellectual. The general public often wonders how actors remember their lines. What’s more remarkable to me is how actors remember, recall, and reiterate feelings and 25 sensations. The body has a memory just as the mind does. The heart has a memory, just as the mind does. The act of speech is a physical act. It is powerful enough that it can create, with the rest of the body, a kind of cooperative dance. That dance is a sketch of something that is inside a 30 person, and not fully revealed by the words alone. I came to realize that if I were able to record part of the dance — that is, the spoken part — and reenact it, the rest of the body would follow. I could then create the illusion of being another person by reenacting something she had saidas she 35 had said it. My grandfather’s idea led me to consider that the reenactment, or the reiteration, of a person’s words would also teach me about that person. I had been trained in the tradition of acting called “psychological realism.” A basic tenet of psychological 40 realism is that characters live inside of you and that you create a lifelike portrayal of the character through a process of realizing your own similarity to the character. When I later became a teacher of acting, I began to become more and more troubled by the self-oriented method. I began to 45 look for ways to engage my students in putting themselves in other people’s shoes. This went against the grain of the psychological realism tradition, which was to get the char- acter to walk in the actor’s shoes. It became less and less interesting intellectually to bring the dramatic literature of 50 the world into a classroom of people in their late teens and twenties, and to explore it within the framework of their real lives. Aesthetically it seemed limited, because most of the time the characters all sounded the same. Most char- acters spoke somewhere inside the rhythmic range of the 55 students. More troubling was that this method left an important bridge out of acting. The spirit of acting is the travel from the self to the other. This “self-based” method seemed to come to a spiritual halt. It saw the self as the ultimate home of the character. To me, the search for char- 60 acter is constantly in motion. It is a quest that moves back and forth between the self and the other. I needed evidence that you could find a character’s psy- chological reality by “inhabiting” that character’s words. I needed evidence of the limitations of basing a character on 65 a series of metaphors from an actor’s real life. I wanted to develop an alternative to the self-based technique, a tech- nique that would begin with the other and come to the self, a technique that would empower the other to find the actor rather than the other way around. 70 7. The primary purpose of the first three paragraphs (lines 1-38) is to (A) describe the actor’s process of developing a role (B) trace the beginnings of a personal philosophy (C) analyze the grandfather’s insights into acting (D) investigate the effect of words on interpersonal relationships (E) explore a viewpoint that the author is forced to reverse 8. The author of the passage uses the quotation in lines 5-6 primarily as a (A) vivid expression of how she views words (B) powerful example of what she sought in Shakespeare (C) scholarly citation linking her to poetic words (D) comical introduction to a problem encountered by every dramatic performer (E) pragmatic assessment of the power of words for beginning drama students Line

67 9. By presenting both versions of the grandfather’s words (lines 9-10 and lines 15-16), the author primarily con- veys the (A) grandfather’s attempts to play with language (B) grandfather’s enthusiasm in spite of her reaction (C) father’s intervention in a private moment (D) ambivalence she feels toward her grandfather (E) significance of the grandfather’s message 10.The comparisons in lines 26-27 serve primarily to (A) show the similarities that exist between dancing and acting (B) celebrate the broad range of memories that actors learn to draw on (C) justify the author’s adherence to conventional acting theory (D) explain why actors have difficulty interpreting character (E) enhance the author’s credibility as a technically trained actor 11.In lines 29-34 (“a kind . . . follow”), the author uses the idea of a dance to (A) supply an image for the awkwardness some actors experience (B) illustrate a process that words can set in motion (C) portray the enactment of a character as an exhila- rating experience (D) argue that acting requires physical agility (E) show how a word can evoke multiple meanings 12.In line 34, “follow” most nearly means (A) pursue (B) result (C) surpass (D) join in (E) listen carefully13.In lines 39-62, the author reveals herself to be someone who believes that (A) teachers and students should examine controversial issues together (B) playwrights especially benefit from experience on stage (C) conventional approaches should be open to questioning and reevaluation (D) traditional methods often reflect the accumulated insight of generations (E) standard practices are the most suitable to teach to beginners 14.Lines 39-70 present the author’s argument primarily by (A) celebrating the appeal of a discredited tradition (B) exploring the impact of her early experiences on her acting (C) explaining her reasons for rejecting a technique (D) describing challenges commonly met by profes- sional actors (E) analyzing insights gained from debates with other drama professors 15.The author’s explanation in the fourth paragraph sug- gests that the “self-oriented method” (line 45) rests on the assumption that (A) audience members appreciate complex nuances of character (B) the playwright’s biography provides the main evi- dence for interpreting character (C) actors have already felt the full range of human emotions (D) actors are extremely independent and self-serving people (E) actors’ lives become fulfilled through their dra- matic portrayals
