Reading Comprehension
1.
The correct answer is (A).
The first sentence of the second paragraph states that the Ordnung is the term for the Amish rules of living: "each community must follow its particular Ordnung, or Amish rules of living."
2.
The correct answer is (C).
The second-to-last sentence of the paragraph states that "Technology is not what Amish communities fear, but the vanity and lack of humility that often results from consumerism." Also, the sentence preceding that one indicates that the Amish may use some technology when necessary (which eliminates choice D) but they don't want technology to cause an individual to value possessions over community. Therefore, many Amish communities do not use technology because it can often result in individuals expressing materialism and pride.
3.
The correct answer is (D).
Nothing in the paragraph suggests that the Amish don't send their children to public school for fear of them being teased. The paragraph doesn't mention anything about how the actual children in public schools would interact with Amish children. Choices A, B, and C are all supported by the paragraph.
Structure and Grammar - Part I
1.
The correct answer is (B).
The verb "wins" is in the wrong tense. The phrase "last night" indicates that the action took place in the past, so the verb should be the past tense "won."
2.
The correct answer is (C).
The sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement. The subject of the verb "were" is the singular "none," not the plural "sons." Therefore, the verb should be the singular "was."
Structure and Grammar - Part II
1.
The correct answer is (A).
The correct pronoun to use is "that" because the pronoun is referring to a specific bird. "Who" and "whom" are only used to refer to people. "Which" is used to set off extra or unnecessary information.
2.
The correct answer is (B).
The first noun that comes after the given clause is modified by that clause. Choice B is the only choice that completes the sentence without creating a misplaced modifier. The phrase "walking along the side of the road" modifies the subject "I." Cars cannot walk, so the phrase cannot modify "the car." The pronoun "it" is not specific enough, so the phrase cannot modify it.
