Questions 37 to 40: Read the following passage and answer the questions below:

Dabke, a traditional Palestinian folk dance, blends elements of line and circle dancing,
characterized by exuberant footwork, high jumps, and vigorous stomps. The dance
emphasizes rhythmic foot pounding, creating an energetic and communal atmosphere. While
similar to tap dancing, Dabke's focus is on creating a collective energy through movement,
performed to vibrant music that enhances its celebratory nature.

Although Dabke is popular across the Levant, it holds particular significance in Palestine,
where it connects deeply to cultural identity. Variants can be seen in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq,
Syria, Hatay, and Northern Saudi Arabia, each adding unique regional elements. Historical
records suggest Dabke’s roots trace back to ancient Canaanite and Phoenician periods,
originally linked to communal house construction, where villagers stomped the earth to build
stable roofs, fostering unity and collaboration.

Page | 7
 Today, Dabke thrives as a cherished tradition, passed down through generations. It is emblematic of
Palestinian culture, often performed at weddings, festivals, and other social events. Mastery of Dabke
requires dedication and skill, and specialized centers in Hebron, along with local teachers, ensure its
continuation.

In addition to its cultural and historical significance, Dabke also serves as a powerful form of social
expression and solidarity. It provides a space for communities to come together, strengthening bonds
and reinforcing collective identity. In times of hardship, such as political unrest or displacement,
Dabke becomes a tool of resistance and resilience, offering a means for Palestinians to assert their
cultural presence and unity. Through its vibrant movements and rhythms, Dabke transcends its role
as a dance, becoming an act of defiance, a celebration of survival, and a declaration of the Palestinian
spirit.

37- Which of the following statement is correct about Dabke?

A) A communal dance with origins in ancient house-building rituals, now a symbol of Palestinian
cultural unity and resilience.
B) A solo dance form that emphasizes individual expression and is now regarded as a central part of
Palestinian cultural heritage.
C) A local dance style limited to specific regions within Palestine, struggling to survive due to a lack
of trained instructors.
D) A celebratory dance inspired by tap dancing, which emphasizes intricate footwork and rhythmic
stomping.
E) A traditional wedding dance that has remained unchanged over generations, performed in small
gatherings only.
38- What measures are mentioned in the passage to ensure the continuation of Dabke for future
generations?

(A) Incorporating Dabke into international sports competitions

(B) Training sessions held by local dance clubs in Gaza
(C) Establishing specialized centers in Hebron and training with village teachers
(D) Broadcasting Dabke performances on national television daily
(E) Teaching Dabke as a subject in university curricula
39- What historical activity is Dabke said to have originated from, according to the passage?

A. Celebratory rituals after harvests

B. Musical gatherings in ancient markets
C. Traditional circle dancing among friends
D. Communal roof-building in ancient Canaanite societies
E. Teaching young children cultural values through dance

40- Based on the passage, which inference about Dabke’s role in Palestinian culture is best supported?

A) Dabke connects Palestinians with other Levant communities as a shared cultural tradition.
B) Dabke’s shift from house-building to social expression shows its adaptability over time.
C) Dabke’s formalization in dance centers suggests a decline in rural practice.
D) Dabke has become mainly a performance by professionals, reducing community involvement.
E) Dabke’s celebratory nature limits it to festivals and events.

47- Raisins are made by drying grapes in the sun. Although some of the sugar in the grapes is
caramelized in the process, nothing is added. Moreover, the only thing removed from the grapes is the
water that evaporates during the drying, and water contains no calories or nutrients. The fact that
raisins contain more iron per food calorie than grapes do is thus puzzling.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain why raisins contain more iron per calorie
than do grapes?

(A) Since grapes are bigger than raisins, it takes several bunches of grapes to provide the same
amount of iron as a handful of raisins does.
(B) Caramelized sugar cannot be digested, so its calories do not count toward the food calorie content
of raisins.
(C) The body can absorb iron and other nutrients more quickly from grapes than from raisins because
of the relatively high water content of grapes.
(D) Raisins, but not grapes, are available year-round, so many people get a greater share of their
yearly iron intake from raisins than from grapes.
(E) Raisins are often eaten in combination with other iron-containing foods, while grapes are usually
eaten by themselves.

A. Determining if a synthetic fiber is used to make the strings used by tennis pros.
