                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 31-33 refer to the following passage:

        There are many ways of communicating without using
    speech.  Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found
    in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to
    impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts
    attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a
    telegraph circuit.  Coded to refer to speech, the potential
    for communication is very great. While less adaptable to the
    codification of words, signs contain greater meaning in and
    of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning
    quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult describe
    than either signals or signs because of their intricate
    relationship with the receiver's cultural perceptions. In
    some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers
    with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving
    and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.
*
!-Y3
 31. According to this passage, a signal is
   (1)  more difficult to describe than other forms of
        communication

   (4)  a gesture

   (1)  a signal
   (2)  a sign
   (3)  a symbol

*
!-Y1
 33. It may be concluded from this passage that
   (1)  signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are forms of
        communication
   (2)  symbols are very easy to define and interpret
   (3)  only some cultures have signals, signs, and symbols
   (4)  waving and handshaking are not related to culture

    Questions 40-44 refer to the following passage:

        It has been documented that, almost twelve million years
    ago at the beginning of the Pliocene Age, a horse, about
    midway through its evolutionary development, crossed a land
    bridge where the Bering Straits are now located, from Alaska
    into the grasslands of Europe. The horse was the hipparion,
    about the size pf a modern-day pony with three toes and
    specialized cheek teeth for grazing. In Europe the hipparion
    encountered another less advanced horse called the
    anchitheres, which had previously invaded Europe by the same
    route, probably during the Miocene Period. Less developed and
    smaller than the hipparion, the anchitheres was completely
    replaced by it. By the end of the Pleistocene Age both the
    anchitheres and the hipparion had become extinct in  North
    America, where they had originated. In Europe they had
    evolved into an animal very similar to the horse as we know
    it today.  It was the descendant of this horse that was
    brought by the European colonists to the Americas.
