a. smoother

15. Although the financial report was bad after the first quarter, it was even _____ after the second quarter.
a. badder
b. more bad
c. worst
d. worse
ANSWER: d
RATIONALE: Bad is an irregular adjective because it doesn't form its comparative and superlative degrees
by adding the typical er or est suffix. Instead, the comparative form is worse, and the
superlative form is worst. Because this sentence compares two items, the second quarter to
the first, the comparative form of worse correctly completes the sentence.

b. data-processing software
c. data-processing-software
d. data processing software

b. capable, efficient, administrative assistants
c. capable, efficient administrative assistants

double negative results. To avoid a double negative in this sentence, select could hardly.

sounds like the consonant y.

no good.

a. later

sentence use latter.

43. Which sentence conveys the thought that just one person could locate the error?
a. Only Zack could locate the one error in the coding.
b. Zack could only locate the one error in the coding.
c. Zack could locate only the one error in the coding.
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: Because the position of an adverb or adjective can affect the meaning of a sentence, the
placement of the adverb or adjective is important. In this sentence place the adverb only close
to the word it modifies (Zack) to indicate that only he could locate the error.
POINTS: 1
DIFFICULTY: Easy
44. You'll find a list of product features on the ____ pages of the catalog.
a. 12 last
b. last 12

47. Macy's offered a ____ discount on selected items during its recent sale.
a. 15 percent
b. 15-percent
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: Percentages are not treated in the same way that numbers appearing in compound adjectives
are treated. Thus you would not use a hyphen in the expression 15 percent discount, but you
would hyphenate 30-year loan.
POINTS: 1
DIFFICULTY: Easy
48. The four of us have ____ signed the contract.

a. already
b. all ready
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: The adverb already means "previously" or "before this time," which represents its meaning in
this sentence. The two-word combination all ready means "all prepared." Remember that if
you can logically insert the word "completely" between all and ready, the two-word
combination is needed. Therefore, select already for this sentence.

49. Workers in Phoenix seem to ____ the city as soon as the workday is over.
a. desert
b. dessert
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: Desert can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb. As a noun, desert refers to arid land. As an
adjective, this word is used to describe something that is desolate or sparsely occupied. As a
verb, desert means "to withdraw from or leave," which is its meaning in this sentence. The
word dessert, on the other hand, is a noun referring to a sweet course or dish.
POINTS: 1
DIFFICULTY: Easy
50. We have been searching for ____ to find the perfect candidate.
a. awhile
b. a while
ANSWER: b
RATIONALE: The adverb awhile means "for a period of time" and should be written as one word. The
expression is written as two words when it functions as a noun phrase with the article a to
describe the noun while. A good tip to remember is to write it as two words if it follows the
word for.

its outlet in unsystematic and uncriticised imaginative construction.
Metaphysics they will certainly have, and if not conscious and
coherent, then unconscious and incoherent Metaphysics. The soul
that is not at rest in itself without some “sight of that immortal sea
which brought it hither,” if hindered from beholding the object of its
quest through the clear glass of rational reflection, will none the less
seek to discern it amid the distorting hazes and mists of superstition.
It is in such seekers after the Infinite that Metaphysics has its natural
and proper followers, and for them the study is its own justification
and its own reward. If a work like the present should prove of any
help to such students, whether by offering positive suggestions
which they can accept, or by assisting them to know definitely why
they reject its conclusions, it will perhaps have achieved as much as
its writer could reasonably expect.

235. I use the epithet in its familiar Platonic sense. The “pure”
pleasure is that which is not dependent, in whole or in part, for its
pleasantness upon a previous ἔνδεια, or actual experience of craving
or desire. I do not mean, as Plato possibly did, that a “mixed”
pleasure, preceded by such ἔνδεια, is a contrast-effect without
positive quality of its own.
236. Compare the argument of Appearance and Reality, chap. 26,
pp. 469-485 (1st ed.), and the famous scholium to Prop. 17 of part 1
of Spinoza’s Ethics, where it is contended that “if intellect and volition
belong to the eternal essence of God, each of these attributes must
at least be understood in a different sense from the current.”
237. I say “finite or infinite” advisedly. The mystic’s condemnation
of the relational scheme as inadequate to express the full nature of
the real, holds good just as much in application to actual finite
experience as in application to the ultimate whole. We may say not
only of “God,” but of human persons, that they are much more than
the “union of thought and will” as such. And in personal human love,
no less than in the saint’s “beatific vision” or the philosopher’s
“intellectual love of God,” we have a type of experience which may
for some psychological purposes be analysed into a combination of
ideational and volitional processes, but emphatically does not, in its
concrete existence, consist of a synthesis of actual ideas and actual
volitions. See ante, p. 152.

Transcriber’s Note
Two words on the first line of p. 70 of this edition
(noted below) were missing (blank). They have been
supplied from the 5th edition, published in 1920.
On p. 226, a footnote at (226.42) refers to Mr. H. G.
Wells’s tale, The New Accumulator, which is certainly a
reference to his 1901 tale “The New Accelerator”.
On p. 340, the first paragraph refers to ‘two points’,
and prefaces the first with ‘(a)’. But there is no ‘(b)’ to
denote the second point. It seems likely that ‘(b)’ should
precede the next paragraph, or perhaps following the
introductory ‘Further’.
The Index reference to p. 467 for ‘Feeling in the
Absolute’ cannot be verified. The page does not exist,
and no other page can be identified with certainty.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have
been corrected, and are noted here. The references are
to the page and line in the original.
The most common error is missing punctuation: 6.14
purpose[.], 38.29 inquiry[.], 44.12 periphery[.], 44.41
other[.], 56.47 failure[.], 58.27 theory[.], 62.39

The name of Professor Hugo Münsterberg is spelled
variably as Münsterberg, Munsterberg, and occasionally
with a partial umlaut. The spelling has been rendered as
Münsterberg to facilitate text searches at 215.5, 305.15,
315.8, 329.40, 418.3.

work (or any other work associated in any way with the phrase
“Project Gutenberg”), you agree to comply with all the terms of
the Full Project Gutenberg™ License available with this file or

Section 1. General Terms of Use and

Redistributing Project Gutenberg™
electronic works
1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg™

agree to and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual
property (trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to
abide by all the terms of this agreement, you must cease using

electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for
obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg™
electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the terms
of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only

be used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by

There are a few things that you can do with most Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works even without complying with the

are a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg™
electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the
Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the
collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the
individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the
United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright
law in the United States and you are located in the United
States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying,
distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works
based on the work as long as all references to Project
Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will
support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting free
access to electronic works by freely sharing Project
Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of this
agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name
associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms
of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with
its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it
without charge with others.
1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also
govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most
countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside
the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to
the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying,
displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works
based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The
Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright
status of any work in any country other than the United States.
1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project

Gutenberg:
1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other

immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must
appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project
Gutenberg™ work (any work on which the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed,
viewed, copied or distributed:
This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United

States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with
almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it
away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg
License included with this eBook or online at
www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United
States, you will have to check the laws of the country where
you are located before using this eBook.
1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is

derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to
anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges.
If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the
phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the
work, you must comply either with the requirements of
paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use
of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth

posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and
distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through
1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder.
Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™
License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright
holder found at the beginning of this work.

Gutenberg™ License terms from this work, or any files
containing a part of this work or any other work associated with
Project Gutenberg™.
1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute
this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1
with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the
Project Gutenberg™ License.
1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form,
including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if
you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project
Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or
other format used in the official version posted on the official
Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at
no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a
means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other
form. Any alternate format must include the full Project
Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™
works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or

providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™
electronic works provided that:
• You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the
method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The
fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark,
but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty
payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on
which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your
periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked
as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information
about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation.”
• You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who

notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that
s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™
License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and
discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project
Gutenberg™ works.
• You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of

any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in
the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90
days of receipt of the work.
• You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.
1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project

Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different
terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain
permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™
trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3
below.
1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright
law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite
these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the
medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,”
such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt
data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other
