Question 2

Theatrical piracy took on new life with the 1856 amendments to the United States copyright laws. Before 1856,

published playscripts were not protected from unauthorized performance, only from unauthorized physical

duplication. Publication effectively allowed the public to use the play in any way not explicitly forbidden by

statute: by contrast, plays that had been performed but not printed and sold were considered unpublished and

so continued to be protected by the law. Consequently, most playwrights never printed their works, seeking to

prevent potential pirates from duplicating the texts and staging the plays. By extending copyright protection to

performances of published plays, the 1856 amendments sought to encourage publication of playscripts, but the

physical texts also became available to those who chose to duplicate them illegally.

The passage suggests that the 1856 amendments to the United States copyright laws failed to

Options :

A : eliminate unauthorized duplication of playscripts

B : encourage more people to write and perform plays

C :

affect the number of unauthorized performances

D :

increase the publication and sale of playscripts

E : extend copyright protection to unpublished plays

Answer: A

Question 3

If two planes leave the same airport at 1:00 p.m., how many miles apart will they be at 3:00 p.m., if one travels directly north at 150 mph and the other travels directly west at 200 mph?

Options :

A : 50 miles

B : 100 miles

C : 500 miles

D : 700 miles

E : 1,000 miles

Answer: C

Question 4

In a geometric series, each term is a constant multiple of the preceding one. If x and y are the first two terms in a geometric series, which of the following represents the third term in the series?

Options :

A : y2/x

B : y/x

C : x2/y2

D : xy

E : x2/y

Answer: A

Question 5

Massive moons could potentially support liquid water – and life – even if they orbit a planet located beyond a star’s habitable zone Extra warmth could come from the reflected light and emitted heat of a host planet, as well as the planet’s gravitational pull. Just as the Moon raises tides in Earth’s ocean, the gravitational tug of a gas-giant planet could flex the interior of a nearby moon, pumping it full of frictional heat. Indeed, recent work by astrophysicists suggests that if a moon orbits too near its gas-giant planet. it could experience so much tidal heating that it boils off its atmosphere. In wider lunar orbits, the right amount of tidal heating could keep moons temperate, even if the planet is far from its star. The passage suggests that which of the following is a factor in the potential habitability of a moon? (Choose all that apply.)

Options :

A : The distance between the star and the moon’s host planet

B : The composition of the moon’s atmosphere

C : The distance between the moon and its host planet
