1. Bermuda Triangle
THE NEXT FOUR QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE:

, The Bermuda Triangle
The area known as the Bermuda Triangle has become such a part of popular culture that it can be
difficult to separate fact from fiction. The interest first began when five Navy planes vanished in 1945,
officially resulting from "causes or reasons unknown." The explanations about other accidents in the
Triangle range from the scientific to the supernatural. Researchers have never been able to find
anything truly mysterious about what happens in the Bermuda Triangle, if there even is a Bermuda
Triangle. What is more, one of the biggest challenges in considering the phenomenon is deciding how
much area actually represents the Bermuda Triangle. Most consider the Triangle to stretch from Miami
out to Puerto Rico and to include the island of Bermuda. Others expand the area to include all of the
Caribbean islands and to extend eastward as far as the Azores, which are closer to Europe than they are
to North America.

The problem with having a larger Bermuda Triangle is that it increases the odds of accidents. There is
near-constant travel, by ship and by plane, across the Atlantic, and accidents are expected to occur. In
fact, the Bermuda triangle happens to fall within one of the busiest navigational regions in the world,
and the reality of greater activity creates the possibility for more to go wrong. Shipping records suggest
that there is not a greater than average loss of vessels within the Bermuda Triangle, and many
researchers have argued that the reputation of the Triangle makes any accidents seem out of the
ordinary. In fact, most accidents fall within the expected margin of error. The Increase in ships from
East Asia no doubt contributes to an increase in accidents. And as for the story of the Navy planes that
disappeared within the Triangle, many researchers now conclude that it was the result of mistakes on
the part of the pilots who were flying into storm clouds and simply got lost.

Which of the following describes this type of writing?
A. Narrative
B. Persuasive
C. Expository
D. Technical - C. Expository
The passage is expository in the sense that it looks more closely into the mysteries of the Bermuda
Triangle and exposes information about what researchers have studied and now believe.

2. The Bermuda Triangle

Which of the following sentences is most representative of a summary sentence for this passage?

A. The problem with having a larger Bermuda Triangle is that it increases the odds of accidents.
B. The area that is called the Bermuda Triangle happens to fall within one of the busiest navigational
regions in the world, and the reality of greater activity creates the possibility for more to go wrong.
C. One of the biggest challenges in considering the phenomenon is deciding how much area actually
represents the Bermuda Triangle.
D. Researchers have never been able to find anything truly mysterious about what happens in the
Bermuda Triangle, if there even is a Bermuda Triangle. - D. This sentence is the best summary
statement for the entire passage, because it wraps up clearly what the author is saying about the results
of studies on the Bermuda Triangle.

s3. The Bermuda Triangle

With which of the following statements would the author most likely agree?

A. There is no real mystery about the Bermuda Triangle because most events have reasonable
explanations.
B. Researchers are wrong to expand the focus of the Triangle to the Azores, because this increases the
likelihood of accidents.
