In 2019 Bergamo, Italy, was named a City of Gastronomy by UNESCO in recognition of the city's unique food culture. The honor is well known among both residents of the city and tourists who visit. It's obvious that the selection of Bergamo by UNESCO has brought awareness to local recipes, cooking practices, and chefs and has provided a boost to the city's tourism industry.
Text 2
Many residents of Bergamo hoped that food tourism would increase after the city was chosen as a City of Gastronomy in 2019. However, as researcher Eerang Park and colleagues argue, cities must still create effective marketing strategies to benefit fully from being named a City of Gastronomy. Without an intentional effort to promote the city's food scene, many current and potential visitors to Bergamo may not even be aware that it's home to uniquely delicious food.
Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the underlined claim in Text 1?
By arguing that UNESCO's recognition of Bergamo was well deserved because of the city's delicious food
By suggesting that Bergamo's status as a City of Gastronomy may not be well known outside of Italy
By noting that there are other benefits to being named a City of Gastronomy besides increased tourism
By claiming that Bergamo's chefs were mainly responsible for the city's recognition by UNESCO

Known for the albums Quiet Nights and Milestones, jazz trumpeter Miles Davis collaborated several times with pianist Gil Evans. Their 1958 adaptation of George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess bears little resemblance to the 1935 original. Davis and Evans felt no desire to please listeners expecting an exact duplication of the opera. They omitted parts, such as the aria "I Got Plenty of Nuthin'," and sometimes made only brief gestures toward Gershwin's melodies. But Davis and Evans's willingness to recompose Gershwin's work led to one of the most enduring albums in Davis's catalog.
According to the text, what is true about the aria "I Got Plenty of Nuthin'"?
It appears in the Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess but not in the adaptation by Davis and Evans.
A brief quotation from it appears in Davis and Evans's adaptation of Porgy and Bess.
Listeners familiar with Gershwin's body of work generally disliked it.
It was adapted by Davis in a recording that appears on his album Milestones.

The following text is adapted from Daniel Defoe's 1704 nonfiction book The Storm.
The sermon is a sound of words spoken to the ear, and prepared only for present meditation, and extends no farther than the strength of memory can convey it; a book printed is a record, remaining in every man's possession, always ready to renew its acquaintance with his memory, and always ready to be produced as an authority or voucher to any reports he makes out of it, and conveys its contents for ages to come, to the eternity of mortal time, when the author is forgotten in his grave.
Which choice best states the main idea of the text?
Words committed to print have a greater permanence than messages that are merely spoken aloud.
People are less likely to forget a message when they hear it spoken aloud than they are when they read it in print.
Unless a spoken message is delivered by an expert, it can be safely ignored.
Most authors have little hope of being remembered well past their lifetimes.

The Arapaho language of the Plains region in the United States has 16 vowel and consonant sounds. In contrast, the Hadza language of eastern Africa has 70. Why would languages differ in this way? One researcher has hypothesized that when modern humans arose in Africa, they spoke a single language, but as humans gradually spread throughout Africa and then around the globe, that language developed into new languages. Those developed into still more languages as small bands of humans spread even farther, with each new language retaining fewer sounds from humanity's original language.
Which finding, if true, would best support the researcher's hypothesis?
Languages that emerged in northwestern North America tend to have more sounds than languages that emerged in East Asia do, even though northwestern North America is farther away from Africa than East Asia is.
Languages that emerged in Eastern Europe tend to have more sounds than languages that emerged in East Asia do, and Eastern Europe is closer to Africa than East Asia is.
Languages that emerged in Western Europe tend to have fewer sounds than languages that emerged in East Asia do, and Western Europe is closer to Africa than East Asia is.
Languages that emerged in Southeast Asia tend to have more sounds than languages that emerged in East Asia do, even though the two regions are roughly the same distance from Africa.

Gottfried Schlaug et al. established that musical training is associated with physical alterations in the brain. Noting that such alterations may affect how sonic stimuli engender a hedonic response (a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure), Antonia Olivia Dolan et al. recently had musicians and nonmusicians listen to recordings—Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," Jose Gonzalez's "Heartbeats," and others— and adjust the volume to the most pleasurable level for each recording. Although musicians and nonmusicians were clinically comparable in terms of their ability to detect sounds, musicians preferred to hear the recordings at a higher volume than nonmusicians did, leading Dolan et al. to conclude that ______
Which choice most logically completes the text?
previous research may have overstated the effects of the physical differences between musicians' brains and nonmusicians' brains.
physical aspects of musicians' brains may suppress the hedonic response to music at volumes that provoke the hedonic response in nonmusicians.
characteristics of musicians' brain anatomy that are not shared with nonmusicians result in musicians experiencing the hedonic response due to characteristics of music other than its volume.
musical training may alter musicians' brains such that they have a reduced ability to detect sounds that are unlikely to incite the hedonic response.

Beloved Cherokees, many years have passed since the arrival of White people in America. Over this time, many have pondered how to improve the lives of the Indian natives, with countless efforts made, yet nearly all have proven fruitless.

Text 1
Philosopher Maria Rossi's most influential work entails the concept of inherent truths. She asserts that there are certain beliefs that all people, including philosophers, know instinctively to be true, whether or not they profess otherwise: among them, that they have consciousness, or that they exist in a reality with other conscious beings. Rossi’s careful work on inherent truths may seem evident but was in fact revolutionary.
Text 2
Solipsism is a philosophical stance supposing that we cannot be sure of the existence of anything outside our own minds. During a lecture, Maria Rossi once offered a proof refuting this stance by pointing to herself and saying, “I am conscious, therefore consciousness exists.” Many philosophers reflexively reject this proof (Hans Müller called it “an obviously frustrating failure”) but have found it a challenge to articulate exactly why the proof fails.
Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 1 most likely respond to proponents of solipsism as outlined in Text 2?
By pointing out that Rossi would assert that solipsism is at odds with other beliefs those proponents must unavoidably hold
By arguing that if it is valid to assert that some facts are true based on instinct, it is also valid to assert that some proofs are inadequate based on instinct
By agreeing with those proponents that Rossi’s treatment of positions that contradict her own is fundamentally unserious
By suggesting that an instinctive distaste for Rossi’s position is preventing solipsists from constructing a sufficiently rigorous refutation of Rossi

A number of artists associated with hyperpop, a movement in electronic music that emerged in the 2010s, aggressively manipulated their recorded voice. The duo 100 gecs, for example, shifts the pitch of lead singer Laura Les’s vocals to be much higher than that of her natural range. And even the hyperpop artists who don’t rely on pitch-shifting, such as Shygirl, often distort their vocals using digital tools. Rather than being an arbitrary stylistic choice, hyperpop’s persistent modification of the voice functions as a commentary on how digital technology mediates the human experience today.
Based on the text, the author would be most likely to disagree with which statement about vocal manipulation in hyperpop?
It is an aesthetic feature that has little or no social import.
It confirms hyperpop’s ability to offset certain negative effects of digital technology.
It is a symbol of the influence that hyperpop exerts on listeners’ sense of self.
It represents changes to the human experience brought about by technology.

Burt Kotler and colleagues showed that high moonlight intensity inhibits the activity of the greater Egyptian gerbil (Gerbillus pyramidum), a finding explicable in terms of benefits and costs: greater lunar intensity may not enable the gerbils to increase foraging success enough to offset the higher chance of detection by predatory foxes or owls. Though many other nocturnal mammals respond to lunar intensity variations similarly to greater Egyptian gerbils, Mohol bushbabies (Galago moholi) display the opposite pattern, as their heavy reliance on visual foraging results in a different balance of reward and risk.
According to the text, what did Kotler and colleagues find and why does that occur?
During periods of high lunar intensity, greater Egyptian gerbils reduce their activity because it is easier for predators to detect the gerbils in relatively bright conditions than it is for predators to detect Mohol bushbabies in such conditions.
During periods of high lunar intensity, Mohol bushbabies show a different behavioral response than greater Egyptian gerbils and many other nocturnal mammals do because the risks to Mohol bushbabies under such conditions are greater.
Greater Egyptian gerbils reduce their activity during periods of high lunar intensity because predators can more easily spot the gerbils in brighter conditions, and such conditions do not benefit the gerbils enough to justify that risk.
Greater Egyptian gerbils tend to be more active during periods of high lunar intensity than at other times because such conditions allow them to increase their foraging success without making them easier to detect.

The small dark heron and the little blue heron are long-legged birds that live in wetlands, like the Everglades in Florida. Laura D’Acunto and colleagues wanted to know how these birds choose an area in which to live. They looked at features of these birds’ habitats, such as how quickly water drains from the area and the amount of tree-canopy cover there is in the area. They found that small dark herons prefer areas with extensive canopy cover, but this was not true for little blue herons. The researchers, therefore, concluded that wetland-management strategies that increase the amount of tree canopy in potential wetland bird habitats are less likely to _____.
Which choice most logically completes the text?
extend the average lifespan of small dark herons already in the area than they are to attract a greater number of those birds to the area.
attract birds that don’t typically live in wetlands to the area than they are to attract small dark herons or little blue herons to the area.
decrease the area’s appeal to both small dark herons and little blue herons than they are to increase the appeal to other species.

Biologists Rebecca M. Calisi-Rodríguez and George E. Bentley examined research on kestrels and canaries, both of which have been studied in the laboratory as well as in the wild, to see how studies’ settings might have affected their results.

Therefore, it’s not altogether surprising that when Calisi-Rodríguez and Bentley examined studies of kestrels, they found that _____.
Which choice most logically completes the text?
significant differences in hormone levels between individuals were found for both captive kestrels and wild kestrels.
captive kestrels and wild kestrels usually exhibited very similar hormone levels.

Music historians often suggest that Louis Armstrong’s West End Blues as a quintessential example of Early Jazz, while Charlie Parker’s Ornithology is seen as a defining piece of the Bebop style. Jazz, a genre that developed during the twentieth century, evolved through various distinct phases. Early Jazz, the first of these phases, broke from traditional compositions by emphasizing improvisation and syncopation. Bebop followed, maintaining some elements of Early Jazz but adding faster tempos and more complex chord progressions. Later, Cool Jazz emerged, characterized by its smoother and more relaxed rhythms.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support the music historians’ suggestion?
West End Blues, composed and performed by Louis Armstrong, showcases his emphasis on improvisation, while Charlie Parker's performance of Ornithology departed from traditional musical structures.
Critics and scholars recognize improvisation as an important milestone in the progression of Jazz; indeed, West End Blues features improvisation at its core, while Ornithology highlights syncopation in its structure.
Although both West End Blues and Ornithology had a transformative impact on the Jazz genre, West End Blues leans towards more traditional rhythms with elements of improvisation, in contrast to Ornithology, which is defined by its energetic tempo and intricate harmonies.
West End Blues and Ornithology both feature complex chord progressions; however, West End Blues is unique in its use of syncopation, which contrasts with Ornithology's focus on melodic improvisation.
