                Part B

  DIRECTIONS: In the rest of this section you will read several
              passages. Each one is followed by several questions
              about it. For questions 31-60, you are to choose the one
              BEST answer, (1),(2),(3), or (4), to each question.
              Then, on your answer sheet, find the number of the
              question and mark the letter you have chosen.
              Answer all question following a passage on the basis
              of what is STATED or IMPLIED in this passage.

    Questions 31-34 refer to the following passage:

        Precipitation, commonly referred to as rainfall, is a
    measure of the quantity of water in the form of either rain,
    hail, or snow which reaches the ground. The average annual
    precipitation  over the whole of the United States is
    thirty-six inches. It should be understood however, that a
    foot of snow is not equal to a foot of precipitation. A
    general formula for computing the precipitation of snowfall
    is that thirty-eight inches of snow is equal to one inch of
    precipitation. In New York State, for example, seventy-six
    inches of snow in one year would be recorded as only two
    inches of precipitation. The total annual precipitation would
    be recorded as forty-two inches.
