Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States, yet he never went to college. In
fact, Lincoln had nearly no formal education whatsoever, attending schools for less than a year
throughout his childhood. Yet this should not be construed to mean that Lincoln was ignorant or
unlearned; on the contrary, he was one of the most well-read leaders of the time. The fact is that
Abraham Lincoln educated himself by studying books of religion, philosophy, and literature, and he
continued his voracious reading throughout his life.

glucose during digestion, causing blood glucose to rise. Additionally, studies have shown that
cooked foods raise blood glucose higher than raw, unpeeled foods. A doctor or nutritionist should

effects of this form of diabetes.

The atmosphere forms a gaseous, protective envelope around Earth. It protects the planet from the
cold of space, from harmful ultraviolet light, and from all but the largest meteors. After traveling
over 93 million miles, solar energy strikes the atmosphere and Earth’s surface, warming the planet
and creating what is known as the biosphere, the region of Earth capable of sustaining life. Solar
radiation in combination with the planet’s rotation causes the atmosphere to circulate. Atmospheric
circulation is one important reason that life on Earth can exist at higher latitudes because
equatorial heat is transported poleward, moderating the climate.
Which of the following is the best definition of the underlined word biosphere as it is used in the
passage?
the protective envelope formed by the atmosphere around the living earth
that part of the earth and its atmosphere in which life can exist
the living things on Earth whose existence is made possible by circulation of the
atmosphere
the circulation of the atmosphere’s contribution to life on Earth
In England, builder William Willett (1857–1915) became a strong supporter for Daylight Saving

In 1893, Milton attended the Chicago International Exposition, where he saw a display of German
chocolate-making implements. Captivated by the equipment, he purchased it for his Lancaster
candy factory and began producing chocolate, which he used for coating his caramels. By the next
year, production had grown to include cocoa, sweet chocolate, and baking chocolate. The Hershey
Chocolate company was born in 1894 as a subsidiary of the Lancaster Caramel Company. Six years
later, Milton sold the caramel company, but retained the rights, and the equipment, to make
chocolate. He believed that a large market of chocolate consumers was waiting for someone to
produce reasonably priced candy. He was right.
Which of the following best defines the word subsidiary as used in this paragraph?
Ten years later, James Starley, an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized
bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the

ridden mostly for entertainment.
