Texas PACT ELAR 7-12 (731) questions with
correct answers. With Complete Solution
2024.
Which of the following pairs of words acquired new, specialized meanings due to the influence of the
field of psychology?
a. broadcast, screen
b. introvert, inhibition
c. network, window
d. sedan, coupe

Option B is correct. This question requires the examinee to recognize historical, social, and cultural
influences that have helped shape the English language. The word introvert was first used in the late
seventeenth century to mean "to concentrate upon oneself." The word inhibition was first used in the
fourteenth century to mean "something that forbids or restricts." Each of these words took on
specialized meanings in the field of psychology in the late nineteenth century: introvert came to mean
"to produce psychological introversion in," and inhibition came to mean "a mental process imposing
restraint on behavior."

Learning how to behave when with your horse is the first step towards building a good working
relationship with him. A well-treated horse is trusting but a frightened horse can be very strong and
could be dangerously unsafe. Always speak calmly. Horses are sensitive to tone of voice, so never
shout. Avoid noises like road drills or motor bikes. Don't move suddenly or carelessly when around
horses. Use persuasion to encourage your horse. Horses never forget a bad experience, but you can
use their memory to your advantage as they will also remember praise and rewards. Horses work best
when they are in a happy environment and they like routine.

For which of the following statements does this excerpt offer a sufficient amount of supporting detail?

a. A calm horse requires less praise than a skittish horse.
b. Horses are best trained in remote, rural places.
c. A highly disciplined horse will be a hard-working horse.
d. Horses respond best to steady, gentle encouragement.

Option D is correct. This question requires the examinee to assess the sufficiency of evidence, examples,
and reasons provided to explain a concept or process presented in an informational text. The details in
the excerpt explain the dos and don'ts of communicating with horses, such as do "speak calmly" to them
but don't "move suddenly or carelessly" around them. Collectively, these tips support the practice of
using steady, gentle encouragement with horses.

Representative government in the United States has broken down. Our legislators do not represent
the public, the voters, or even those who voted for them but rather the commercial-industrial
interests that finance their political campaigns and control the organs of communication—the TV, the

, newspapers, the billboards, the radio. Politics is a game for the rich only. Representative government
in the USA represents money, not people, and therefore has forfeited our allegiance and moral
support. We owe it nothing but the taxation it extorts from us under threats of seizure of property. . . .

Which of the following statements best describes the effect of the author's use of a rhetorical
technique in this excerpt?

a. The author's use of specific examples such as TV, newspapers, and radio demonstrates a thoroughly
researched perspective.
b. A reliance on exaggerations and sweeping generalizations reveals strong biases in the author's
argument.
c. The author's use of a simple, clear position statement at the beginning of the argument helps
reinforce the overall validity of the argument.
d. A focus on appeals to authority and emotion reveals that the author's perspective is based primarily
on hearsay.

Option B is correct. This question requires the examinee to analyze the use of a rhetorical technique in a
persuasive text. In the excerpt, the author reveals strong biases through exaggerations such as
"Representative government in the United States has broken down" and sweeping generalizations such
as "Politics is a game for the rich only."
