Alicia Montesinos-Navarro, Isabelle Storer, and Rocío Perez-Barrales recently examined several plots within a diverse plant
community in southeast Spain. The researchers calculated that if individual plants were randomly distributed on this
particular landscape, only about 15%would be with other plants in patches of vegetation. They counted the number of
juvenile plants of five species growing in patches of vegetation and the number growing alone on bare ground and
compared those numbers to what would be expected if the plants were randomly distributed. Based on these results, they
claim that plants of these species that grow in close proximity to other plants gain an advantage at an early developmental
stage.
Which choice best describes data from the table that support the
researchers’ claim?
A) For all five species, less than 75% of juvenile plants were
growing inpatches of vegetation.
B) The species with the greatest number of juvenile plants
growing inpatches of vegetation was H. stoechas.
C) For T. libanitis and T. moroderi, the percentage of juvenile
plantsgrowing in patches of vegetation was less than
what would be expected if plants were randomly
distributed.
D) For each species, the percentage of juvenile plants
growing in patches of vegetation was substantially higher
than what would beexpected if plants were randomly

Language
Serbian 7.2 39.1
Spanish 7.7 42.0
Vietnamese 5.3 42.5
Thai 4.7 33.8
Hungarian 5.9 34.6

A group of researchers working in Europe, Asia, and Oceania conducted a study to determine how quickly different
Eurasian languages are typically spoken
(in syllables per second) and how much information they can effectively convey (in bits per second). They found
that, although languages vary widely in the speed at which they are spoken, the amount of information
languages can effectively convey tends to vary much less. Thus, they claim that two languages with very
different spoken rates can nonetheless convey the same amount of information in a given amount of time.
Which choice best describes data from the table that support the researchers’ claim?
A) Among the five languages in the table, Thai and Hungarian have the lowest rates of speech and the lowest
rates of information conveyed.
B) Vietnamese conveys information at approximately the same rate as Spanish despite being spoken at a
slower rate.
C) Among the five languages in the table, the language that is spoken the fastest is also the language that
conveys information the fastest.
D) Serbian and Spanish are spoken at approximately the same rate, but Serbian conveys information faster than
Spanish does.

5- Considering a large sample of companies, economics experts Maria Guadalupe, Julie Wulf, and Raghuram Rajan assessed

departments in their companies.

a. The average numbers of managers and department leaders reporting directly to their CEO didn’t
fluctuate from the 1991–1995 periodto the 2001–2008 period.

number of managers reporting directly to their CEO in each of the three periodsstudied.

6- Economists Kerwin Kofi Charles and Melvin Stephens Jr. investigated a variety of factors that influence voter turnout in the
United States. Using survey data that revealed whether respondents voted in national elections and how knowledgeable respondents
are about politics, Charles and Stephens claim that the likelihood of voting is driven in part by potential voters’ confidence in their
assessments of candidates—essentially, the more informed voters are about politics, the more confident they are at evaluating
whether candidates share their views, and thus the more likely they are to vote.

Which choice best describes data in the graph that support Charles and Stephens’s claim?
A) At each point on the political orientation scale, high-information voters were more likely than low-
information voters to vote.
B) Only low-information voters who identify as independents had a voting probability below 50%.
C) The closer that low-information voters are to the ends of the political orientation scale, the more likely
they were to vote.
D) High-information voters were more likely to identify as strong Democrats or strong Republicans than low-
information voters were.

days. The student concluded that the reduction in the spider population count in the enclosure with lizards by day
30 was entirely attributable to the presence of the lizards.
Which choice best describes data from the graph that weaken the student’s conclusion?
A) The spider population count was the same inboth enclosures on day 1.

8- Perovskite solar cells convert light into electricity more efficiently than earlier kinds of solar cells, and manufacturing
advances have recently made them commercially attractive. One limitation of the cells, however, has to do with their electron
transport layer (ETL), through which absorbed electrons must pass. Often the ETL is applied through a process called spin
coating, but such ETLs are fairly inefficient
at converting input power to output power. André Taylor and colleagues tested a novel spray coating method for applying the
ETL. The team produced ETLs of various thicknesses and concluded that spray coating holds promise for improving the
power conversion efficiency of ETLs in perovskite solar cells.

Which choice best describes data from the graph that support Taylor and colleagues’ conclusion?

A) Both the ETL applied through spin coating and the ETL applied through spray coating showed a
power conversion efficiency greater than 10% at their lowest performing thickness.
B) The lowest performing ETL applied through spray coating had a higher power conversion efficiency
than the highest performing ETL applied through spin coating.
C) The highest performing ETL applied through spray coating showed a power conversion efficiency of
approximately 13%, while the highest performing ETL applied through spin coating showed a power
conversion efficiency of approximately 11%.
D) There was a substantial difference in power conversion efficiency between the lowest and highest
performing ETLs applied through spray coating.
