Recently, a group of 100 professionals aged 25-30 took part in a study that examined the correlation between hours of sleep and cognitive scores. Participants were asked to keep track of the number of hours they slept each night for a total of 7 nights. Each morning, an hour after participants woke up, they were asked to complete a brief cognitive function test online. Based on these results, researchers believe that one’s sleeping hours do have an impact on one’s cognitive scores. It is clear that the more hours one slept, the better the test performance was, but only up until the 9-hour mark. In fact, those who slept an average of 9 hours each night performed the best on the cognitive test, attaining just over 90 points. Interestingly, the trend began to decrease with participants who slept more than 9 hours each night, since they performed worse on the tests. With this trend, participants reported lower scores for each additional hour of sleep. In order to continue studying this correlation, researchers will create a similar experiment for older and younger age groups. Which of the following is a conclusion based on the graph and explanation?

Play Therapy: Some might associate vibrant colored blocks and crayons with frivolity. For children, playing is not an absent way to kill time. Playing is a primary way for children to interpret experiences and communicate. So, mental health professionals have utilized play in children’s therapy since the early 1900s. Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) resembles person-centered therapy, developed by Carl Rogers. It is the most prevalent play therapy approach in the U.S. The Association for Play Therapy (APT) was established in 1982. It has published many findings, developed training, and contributed to the rapid growth of play therapy over the past few decades. A well-trained therapist uses individualized play therapy in a variety of clinical applications. CCPT aims for children aged three to ten years. Ages two to ten (preoperational stage) have emerging abilities to represent surroundings in words and images. Four to seven is when reasoning and self-regulation skills develop. Cognition grows in complexity during the concrete operational stage from seven to eleven. Then comes abstract thought and deduction during the adolescent formal operational stage. Play therapy adapts to older children and adolescents, too. They begin to experience deeper emotional complexity and social relationships. Play therapy’s versatility and capacity to access nonverbal parts of the brain suits a host of challenges in addition to a range of age groups. It helps address aggression, ADHD, anxiety, depression, speech problems, and trauma. The principles behind CCPT mirror Carl Rogers’ standards. They emphasize empathy, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard for the client. The idea is to facilitate the child’s innate propensity for growth and self-directed healing. Therapists find imaginative ways to visualize difficult concepts, navigate relationships, and build confidence. CCPT appears in more than 90 cross-cultural studies spanning seven decades, including meta-analyses. The research shows encouraging outcomes for children across diverse circumstances and conditions. It works because play is a natural, enjoyable, and enriching state. It meets children where they are, to help them unlock their inner selves. What is the purpose of the last sentence of the passage?

The Necks of Flying Dinosaurs: During the late Cretaceous period, the skies were filled with giants. Around 70 million years ago, few creatures were safe from the pterosaurs who soared through the air and preyed on all kinds of living things below. The most formidable of them all, Quetzalcoatlus northropi, had a wingspan that stretched up to 33 feet and a neck as long as a giraffe’s. It is thought to be the largest living thing to ever fly. Until recently, scientists were at a loss to explain how this gargantuan creature could possibly carry heavy prey in its beak without breaking its long neck. This question has now been answered, thanks to a new study that found the flying reptile possess bones unlike any others found in nature. As a part of this breakthrough study, Ph.D. students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign utilized a CT scan to analyze a pterosaur vertebra found in the Kem Kem fossil beds of Morocco. They couldn’t believe what they found. Inside, the vertebra was composed of an intricate network of struts, connecting a central tube to the outer walls of the bone. Its cross-section looks much like a bicycle wheel, with spokes radiating out from a central point. A bone like this had never been seen in the animal kingdom. The spoke structure allowed pterosaurs’ necks to be both lightweight and extremely strong. The team behind the discovery calculated that the addition of just 50 spokes increased the weight the bone could carry by 90 percent. The research team plans to follow up this study by scanning the vertebrae of other pterosaur species, to see whether they also possess this unique structure. In order to lift their massive bodies into the air, pterosaurs had to be exceptionally light for their size, and their bones needed to be thin and nearly hollow like those of a bird. As a result, their bones were exceedingly fragile and have mainly disintegrated over time. Though largely absent from the fossil record, pterosaur bones have been well preserved at the Kem Kem fossil site, which was once a thriving river system. What word best describes the author’s point of view?

The Leaning Tower Building the Leaning Tower of Pisa took 200 years before it was finally completed in 1372. However, five years after the work had begun in 1173, the tower started tilting. As it was in danger of collapsing, the tower was closed to the public in 1990. A British-led team of 13 experts was appointed by the Italian government to lay out a ‘straightening’ plan. The stabilizing work was completed in 2001, straightening the tower by 38cm. In 2013, a study found that the tower had straightened by a further 2.5cm. The tower is expected to continue to straighten by another few millimeters, before gradually leaning again. Which of the following best describes this type of writing?

Mars In 2018, a team of researchers found evidence of a large lake underneath Mars’ south polar surface. This announcement was made after analysing radar data gathered by Europe’s Mars Express spacecraft. The same instruments were used once again to follow up on the discovery and to study a wider area around the newly found lake. This provided evidence for the existence of three more underground lakes. However, a different team of scientists seem unsure regarding the existence of subsurface liquid water on Mars. They simply cannot understand what is preventing the water from freezing in Mars’ sub-zero atmosphere. Which of the following is a prediction based on the last line of the passage?

Viking Tombs Archeologists have found seven Viking tombs holding 1,000 year old, well preserved skeletons of eight people — four adults and four children. One of the tombs contains two very small infants, who appear to be of the same age. This is probably the result of late miscarriages of a couple of sets of twins. The graves have been excavated, revealing their unusual lay out which doesn’t match traditional Viking beliefs. At that time, Vikings were cremated, rather than buried, which was a the Christian custom. Which of the following is a prediction based on the last line of the passage?

Watermelons After extensive research, a German botanist and her colleagues have discovered that the watermelon we know today didn’t originate from Mesopotamia, as many other domesticated crops have. Its genetic analysis shows that it is more closely related to the Sudanese variety, although they look very different. Our ‘modern’ version of watermelons has red flesh and a very sweet taste, while the flesh of Sudanese watermelons is white and it isn’t sweet at all; it is mainly used to feed animals. Which of the following provides information about watermelons?

Humidity When days are hot and humid, the air feels heavy and breathing might feel challenging; our skin can also feel overheated and sticky. Humidity feels so uncomfortable because it makes us feel hotter than we feel on dry days. Usually, when we feel hot, we sweat and our sweat evaporates into the air, therefore cooling our skin. However, humidity doesn’t allow our sweat to evaporate as quickly since the air around us cannot absorb any more moisture (vapour). The longer our sweat stays on our skin, the warmer (and more uncomfortable!) we feel. Which of the following is an inference that could be made about humidity?
