13. Read the paragraph and choose a sentence that describes it best: People have considered the possibility that the missing colonists could have assimilated into nearby Native American tribes since at least 1605.

Colonial era Europeans observed that many people removed from European society by Native Americans for substantial periods of time—even if captured or enslaved—were reluctant to return; the reverse was seldom true.

19. Read the paragraph and choose a sentence that describes it best: Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life.

29. Read the paragraph and choose a sentence that describes it best: When most people imagine an archetypal desert landscape—with its relentless sun, rippling sand and hidden oases—they often picture the Sahara. But 11,000 years ago, what we know today as the world’s largest hot desert would’ve been unrecognizable. The now-dessicated northern strip of Africa was once green and alive, pocked with lakes, rivers, grasslands and even forests. So where did all that water go? The Sahara has long been subject to periodic bouts of humidity and aridity. These fluctuations are caused by slight wobbles in the tilt of the Earth’s orbital axis, which in turn changes the angle at which solar radiation penetrates the atmosphere. At repeated intervals throughout Earth’s history, there’s been more energy pouring in from the sun during the West African monsoon season, and during those times—known as African Humid Periods—much more rain comes down over north Africa. a) Sahara will turn green again in some time, and humans cannot influence this b) Changes in the Earth’s axis cause the changes of Sahara climate c) The deserts are produced by the changes of the Earth’s axis d) The water reducing caused Sahara to become a desert
30. What a lovely material! It ............. silk. a) feels like b) feels as if c) feels if so d) feels like it might
31. Read the paragraph and choose a sentence that describes it best. Following in the footsteps of previous BioShock games, the world of Infinite explores the chaos that results when strong ideals are taken to an extreme. Here, the philosophical concept of \"American Exceptionalism\" is perverted into ultranationalism, religious fanaticism, and social Darwinism. Flags, patriotic music, and propaganda posters promote the idea that Columbia is a \'haven\' from the so-called \'unwanted\' of the world, as the player progressively learns more about its society, inhabitants, and the darkness that lies within it. a) Strong ideas and extremism lead to disaster. b) American Exceptionalism is a perverted concept that shouldn’t exist. c) Patriotism, not only American, leads to birth of extremism and conflict. d) A true haven is not possible, as there will always be a conflict.
