Read the “Multiple Intelligences” passage before answering the question.
Multiple Intelligences
In the late 1970, the directors of the Bernard van Leer Foundation invited a team of professors
from Harvard University’s Graduate School of education to respond to a daunting challenge:
Discover a way for every human being to develop to his or her maximum potential. Out of this
collaboration of dozens of esteemed professionals came the theory of multiple intelligences
(MI).
In 1983, Howard Gardner, a project team member, published Frames of Mind, which sets out
the theory in some detail. In this book, Gardner posits that traditional notions of intelligence,
which are largely based on I.Q. testing, do not sufficiently address the range of cerebral
engagement. In short, various types of intelligence should be considered because different
minds have different strengths. For too long, our notion of intelligence has been too narrow.
Originally, Gardner identified seven areas of human intelligence: verbal-linguistic, musical,
logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. A
short time later, Gardner added an eighth intelligence: naturalistic.
Traditional school curriculum in Western culture has heavily emphasized learning through the
verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences. This has, according to Gardner, left
many students poorly served by our educational system. Gifts in other areas of intelligence,
such as the arts, should be identified and encouraged as well. Also, different methodologies of
conveying information should be used to engage the distinct strengths of students with
varying types of intelligence.
Gardner and others, like author Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D., have done much of cause the
American educational establishment to rethink the way children learn in school. Many
universities include courses about multiple intelligences, and teachers are often encouraged to
use the theory of MI in planning their lessons. The result of this reevaluation of intelligence has
begun to transform the way teachers teach.

Read the passage below before answering the question.
The heroines are in the house. In recent years, there has been a boom of young (YA) literature
that has taken readers, and bestseller lists, by storm. Though YA novels have existed nearly as
, long as the novel itself, current YA novels have reinvented the genre. Now they tend to focus
on the plight of a central heroine, a young girl tasked with dismantling the oppressive
dystopia she lives in to save her friends and her family. The success of these stories is finally
making Hollywood sit up and pay attention to the possibility of how lucrative female-led
movies can be, and more female-driven films than ever are taking top spot at the box office.

sellers.
Read the passage below before answering the question.
Storytellers known as bards were an important element in sustaining Celtic civilization. They
were trained at barding schools where they learned hundreds of poems and different styles
of verse. Some bards trained for up 7 years. In addition to singing memorized poems, they
composed poems of their own to celebrate important events or commemorate fallen
leaders. Many scholars believe that the bards of Brittany, a region in northwest France, and
those of Wales created and passed on the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the
Round Table. Without the oral traditions, these stories would have been lost.
8.Which of the following supporting details best reinforces the argument presented in the
first sentence that bards sustained Celtic civilization? A. Bards were specially trained at
barding schools.
B. Bards trained for as long as 7 years and learned different styles of verse.
C. In addition to singing memorized poems, bards would compose poems of their own.
D. Poems written by bards celebrated important events and commemorated fallen leaders.
