Understanding and Analyzing Written Concepts Answer: The Paragraph Comprehension subtest is a
very important part of the ASVAB because it accounts for a significant portion of your AFQT score (you
know, the Armed Forces Qualification Test — the score that determines your eligibility for military
service). To do well on this subtest, you need to have strong reading-comprehension skills. The
Paragraph Comprehension subtest measures your ability to understand what you read and then draw
conclusions from the material. The questions are based on random excerpts and passages. You read
each passage and answer questions about it.

meaning of the word, or it can be a less well-known meaning of the word. In either case, you have to

Passage one
, Mrs. Berry's was my first coup de main. The house was at the top of a high hill with more steps to climb
to reach the porch which spanned a plain but scrupulously neat living room. The floor was freshly
scrubbed with white sand, there was a deal table also scrubbed to snowy whiteness and a few splint
bottomed chairs scrubbed likewise. All this I noticed standing on the threshold of the front door which
stood wide open from habit, one could see, rather than with any notion of inviting wayfarers to enter. I
knocked on the floor with the point of my umbrella and after some minutes a comely little black woman
appeared in the doorway just opposite and stood with hands crossed in front of her waiting to learn the
cause of the intrusion. Answer: 1. When the narrator arrives at the house, she
(A) knocks on the door.
(B) knocks on the floor.
(C) opens the door.
(D) rings the doorbell.
1- Answer is B
2. The woman's crossed hands imply that she's
(A) bothered.
(B) excited.
(C) afraid.
(D) bored.
2- Answer is A
Passage two Answer: Some people argue that baking is an art, but Chef Debra Dearborn says that
baking is a science. She says that if you follow a recipe carefully, assembling the ingredients accurately,
cooking at the specified temperature for the specified period of time, your cookies will always turn out
right. Chef Dearborn says the best baking is like the best experiment — anyone can duplicate it.
