1. D
Overall elemental contents for all macromolecules presented:
Nucleotides – C, H, O, N, P
Carbohydrates – C, H, O
Lipids – C, H, O
Proteins – C, H, O, N, S
Cholesterols – C, H, O
2. B
Because the fetal lungs are the undeveloped and non‐functional, gas exchanges are phenomenally
carried out at the placenta. And as observed there, deoxygenate red blood cells (RBCs) in the umbilical
artery are adequately rejuvenated prior to giving rise to highly oxygenated RBCs flowing next to the
umbilical vein.
3. E
Additional comments to all of the statement presented:
a. Known samples are like streptococcus (spherically in chain), pseudomonas (rod‐shaped
bacillus), and spirillum (helically shaped).
b & d. Relatively small amount of protein is associated; smaller and simpler ones are called
plasmids
c. Generally, transformation occurs via uptake of naked genes from surrounding environment,
conjugation via one way passage of F plasmid, and transduction via the aid of viral carriers.
e. Peptidoglycans are polymers of modified sugars cross‐linked by short polypeptides. Both
gram positive and gram negative bacteria possess these components, with the cell walls of the
latter having lesser amount of peptidoglycans but are more structurally complex.
4. E
This question relates to the well‐known Hardy‐Weinberg theorem, asserting that population equilibrium
(same allele and genotype frequencies in successive generations) remains constant in the absence of
microevolution factors. Do not panic if you cannot find Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium as one of the
answer choices. Question of this nature deliberately tests your ability to identify the closet alternative,
which is none other than E alone.
5. A
# of blue petals : # of white petal (299 + 302) : (103 + 98) 601:201 ~ 3:1 Parental genotype : Bb

Combining (1) and (2), the possible parental genotypes are: BbLl x Bbll or Bbll x BbLl
6. D
In bone remodeling, osteoblasts deposit Ca2+ in bones in the presence of calcitonins while release Ca2+
from bones in the presence of parathyroid hormones. The above processes are intimately linked to the
homeostatic control of blood calcium level.
7. B
The molecular structure of concern is characteristically represented by a metal/transition element
surrounded by a complex carbon ring, which in turn attaches itself to several other protein subunits.
Besides chlorophylls and hemoglobins, cytochromes found along the electron transport chains also
exhibit similar relationship discussed in this problem.
8. A
Cooperativity generally serves to amplify enzymatic responses to substrate bindings, as augmented by
information given in the question. Rest of the incorrect mechanisms is explained as follows:
Feedback inhibition – regulation of metabolic pathways via the threshold amount of end products
accumulated to inhibit front – end enzymes
Multienzye complex foration – an assembly of enzymes facilitating metabolic processes along the
pathway
Allosteric inhibition – inactive form of enzymes aggravated
Organelles specificity – membranes encapsulation of enzymes designated for specific metabolic
functions.
9. E
The birth of a type O child reveals that the father’s blood group genotype may only be heterozygous IAi.
Hence, crossing of the blood group genotypes from both parents again will produce either a type A (IAi)
or a type O (ii) child.
10. C
Distinguished for their affinities to exceptionally low pH environment, pepsins are a primary group of
enzymes designated to hydrolyze protein molecules to smaller polypeptides in the stomach.
11. B
Explanation for the INCORRECT descriptions:
I. A catalyst will never affect the position of a chemical equilibrium. It will nevertheless speed
up both the forward and reverse reactions as the system is tending toward an equilibrium
state.
III. Enzymatic activities are environment sensitive and optimally operate within tight
specifications of changing factors like temperature, pH, etc.
12. A
Formation of trophoblast preceds the development of a three‐layered embryo. The nerve cord,
belonging to the nervous system, develops from the ectoderm. While a major portion of notochord
develops from the mesoderm, the digestive tract has at least its epithelial layer develop from the
endoderm.
13. D
Myxomycota (plasmodial slime molds) falls under kingdom Protista. Other easily mistaken counterparts
are Acrasiomycota (cellular slime milds) and Oomycota (water molds), simple because of the similar
suffix (‐cota) appearing in these names. A to C are also commonly and respectively known as zygote, sac,
and club fungi.
14. D
Working backward, the minimum amount of energy mandated among the primary producers will be:
250/(0.05)2 = 100000 J
15. D
A, B, C , and E individually contribute to DNA replication: RNA primer initiates a polynucleotide strand,
which is subsequently elongated by DNA polymerase in a 5’ 3’ direction; helicase unwinds the
parental helix structure into two DNA strands, correspondingly stabilized by the single strand binding
protein. Nuclease, on the other hand, appears mostly in the digestive tract (small intestines) and
hydrolyzes nucleotides (RNA and DNA) to their respective sugars, phosphates, and bases.
16. D
Vitamin K, together with other initial clotting factors like calcium, broken vessels, etc…, jointly convert
prothrombin into the activated form of thrombin, from which fibrinogen is triggered to fibrin to
ultimately trap blood cells in the wounds.
17. A
Detoxification is generally carried out by enzymes in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). The liver
cells are especially loaded with SER when the body system takes in drugs and/or is poisoned.
18. E
Resting potential with an axon is ‐70mV resulted in imbalanced [K+] and [Na+] across the membrane.
Over the time, this ionic potential dissipates as K+ and Na+ diffuse down the respective concentration
gradients. Sodium‐potassium pumps therefore serve to maintain the desired potential value by acting
against these gradients at the expense of ATP molecules – a typical characteristic of active transport.
19. D
Under a repressible system, the associated proteins (end products) are usually produced continuously
until the amount of such proteins formed exceeds a desired (threshold) limit. Acting as co‐repressors
now, the end products accumulated will begin binding to the repressors to jointly stop the ongoing
transcription.
20. E
Blood pH level couple by subunit cooperativity basically determines O2 affinity of hemoglobin. At lower
pH value (higher concentration of CO2), hemoglobin will more readily unload O2 to surrounding cells and
vice versa.
21. E
Proton pumps (being powered by exergonic reactions such as ATP depletions, electron transport chain
redox series, etc…) commonly function as intermediary to drive other useful processes via the generated
proton motive force (H+ gradient) across each cell membrane. A to C are part of the energy couplings
enabling the synthesis of ATP in mitochondria and chloroplasts. The presence of transport proteins is
required to facilitate both active transport and cotransport.
22. A
Vitelline membrane is an outer layer positioned closet to the plasma membrane of a fertilized zygote. It
is usually and fully detached from the zygote upon the first mitotic division. Extraembryonic membranes
consisting of B to E appear during and/ or past the gastrulation stage.
23. A
B and E are flagellated whereas parameciums are ciliated. Plasmodiums, the malaria‐causing parasites,
move by sliding along the bloodstreams of infected hosts.
24. A
Exponential growth, as characterized by decreased mortalities and inflated birthrates, has best been
represented by A. B and E are wrong as these exhibit zero growth in a population. Theoretically, an
exponential growth is unrestrained, rendering C and D inappropriate as well.
25. E
Promoter specifies which DNA strand to be used as template prior to determining the starting point of
transcription. Transcription factor facilitates binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter, and forming
the crucial transcription initiation complex that kicks off rest of the transcribing process.
26. B
Antibodies secreted by plasma cells in the humoral immune response agglutinate antigens upon binding
themselves at the matching receptors. This renders the antigens more susceptible to attack (e.g.
phagocytosis) by white blood cells.
27. A
In glycolysis, each glucose is degraded to two molecules of pyruvates via a series of steps involving many
others like D, B, and C. In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate molecules enter the pathway of aerobic
respiration entailing both the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. When devoid of oxygen,
fermentation takes place where ethanols, lactic acids, etc…, are formed depending on the type of
metabolic pathway involved.
28. C
“Dark reactions” simply means reactions may proceed without the need for sunlight. Whether or not
light in present, they will resume as long as ATP and NADPH molecules are continuously supplied to the
cycles.
29. A
Codon recognition: binding of a tRNA (amino acid bearing) anticodon to the mRNA codon positioned at
the A site of a ribosome.
Peptide bond formation: between the new amino acid and the growing polypeptide (catalyzed by the
ribosome).
Translocation: relative moving of the ribosome one codon forward in the 5’ 3’ direction along the
mRNA.
30. B
Both ammonia and cyanide are toxic to human body. Uric acid pertains to excretory systems needing
heavy water conservation such as those found in birds and certain reptiles. Protein will be too big a
molecules to be transported across the glomerulus at the Bowman’s capsule, and moreover, it may
never be the product of deamination. Not only is urea an acceptable form of dissolved waste, it is also
crucially needed to increase the osmolarity of interstitial fluid at the inner medulla.
31. E
Descriptions for all modes of cell communication:
Hormonal signaling – one form of distant communication between endocrine glands and target
cells via hormones traveling along the circulatory system
Synaptic signaling – one‐way local communication via neurotransmitters traveling across the
synaptic cleft at a neuromuscular junction or between two neurons
Signal transduction – cellular response to “signal” molecules via an accentuated chain of
molecular interactions
Cell‐cell recognition – direct communication between two adjacent cells via surface attached
molecules
32. C
In induction, specific genes in the target cells are turned on to differentiate these cells into designated
tissue type. Invagination occurs during gastrulation while neurulation takes place right after it.
Implantation describes how embryo attaches itself to the uterine wall, and organogenesis relates to the
organs formation during the first trimester of gestation.
33. D
Coenocytic hypha mechanically results from ongoing division of nuclei without cytoplasmic division.
Septa basically act as perforated cross walls, turning the otherwise unicellular hypha into multicellular
form. Haustoria are modified ends penetrating the host tissue for nutrients absorption whereas mycelia
are clusters of interwoven hyphae significantly enhancing this process.
34. D
Incorrect speciation modes are annotated as follows:
Adaptive radiation – diversely adapted from a common ancestor (related to geographical
isolation)
Ecological speciation – adaptation on the basis of location and activity
Allopatric speciation – isolation via geographical barrier
Morphological speciation – separation on the basis of physical measures and outward features
35. A
Non‐disjunction causes genetic disorder resulting in aneuploidy and/or polyploidy cells formation. Sex
linked diseases are usually X‐linked unless otherwise stated, where infected fathers are uniquely
observed as passing down defective genes to their daughters only. B and D are part of the Mendelian
laws.
36. E
Trophic hormones are targeted at other endocrine glands where secondary hormones are
correspondingly secreted to regulate designated functions in the body. Adrenocorticotrophic hormones
stimulate the adrenal cortex to produce and secrete steroid hormones, whereas thyroid stimulating
hormones stimulate the thyroid gland to produce and secrete triiodothyronines, thyroxines, and
calcitonins mostly via negative feedback mechanisms.
37. C
Metaphase plate is term adopted to depict the central plane of a dividing cell in metaphase stage.
Mitotic spindles are practically invisible at the end anaphase. B and E pertain to cytokinesis in plant cells.
38. E
2n = 10 {diploid representation}
n = 5 {haploid representation}
By using multiplication rule, 2n = 25 =32
39. D
High levels of estrogens and progesterones in the blood are usually sustained via preservation of corpus
luteum by human chorionic gonadotropins (HCGs) during the first trimester of pregnancy. These
hormones are particularly needed to maintain and strengthen the uterine walls. And understandably,
menstrual cycle ceases during this period of time. Elevated amount of progesterones also inhibits
release of luteinizing hormones (LHs) from the anterior pituitary, rendering ovulation through LHs surge
unlikely to happen.

Using approximation where appropriate, divide each of the elemental percent compositions (numerical
values) by its respective relative atomic weight (as exhibited by the periodic table given) and arrange
these in simplified (division by smallest value) whole‐number ratios:
C H O
39.98/12/01 6.66/1 53.36/16
~ 3.33 6.66 ~ 3.34

The empirical formula derived for the compound is therefore CH2O.
52. C
From the Gibbs free energy, G, equation, ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
Spontaneity occurs if ΔG < 0. As such, reaction will assuredly be spontaneous when ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0 at
any absolute temperature, T > 0K.
53. C
H3PO4(aq) + H2O(aq) H3O+(aq) + H2PO4

According to the Bronsted‐Lowrt theory,
i. H2O is the conjugate base of H3O+
ii. H3O+ is the conjugate acid of H2O
iii. H3PO4 is the conjugate acid of H2PO4‐
iv. H2PO4‐ is the conjugate base of H3PO4

55. D
A catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium position since it equally affects both the forward and the
reverse reactions. It will however speed up the process of reach chemical equilibrium, by lowering both
the forward and reverse activation energies.
56. B
According to Gay‐Lussac’s law of combining volumes and Avogadro’s principle 2 volumes of O2 are
required to completely burn every volume of CH4 in relation to the chemical equation given. As such,
volume of oxygen required: 2 x 10 = 20 liters.
57. A
By referring to any temperature‐pressure phase diagram, it can be visualized that boiling occurs when
pressures of both liquid and gas are in equilibrium along the vapor pressure curve for liquid.
58. D
For every mole of KMnO4 used, 5 moles of iron in the ore sample would have been reacted. In D, the
first two multiplications basically serve to calculate the number of moles of Fe2+ reacted. The
multiplication gives us the iron mass of the sample. And the rest is to quickly arrive at the mass percent
of iron present in the ore.

Enthalpy change,
ΔH = ΣΔHf(products) – ΣΔHf(reactants)
ΔH = [ΔHf(H2O) +ΔHf(SO2)] – ΔHf(H2S)
‐562.6 = [‐285.9 + (‐296.9)] ‐ ΔHf(H2S)
ΔHf(H2S) = ‐20.2 kJ/mol
Note: the enthalpy change of an element (O2 in this case) in its standard state is zero.

From the chemical equation given, it is evident that 2 moles of CaCO3 will be required to produce 2
moles of CO2.
Using supplemental data exhibited by the periodic table, molecular weight of CaCO3: 40.08 + 12.01 +
3(16) = 100.09 g ≈ 100 g
The amount of CaCO3 required is therefore: 2 x 100 = 200 g

There is usually no question on the real test requiring you to draw any Lewis structure from scratch. Do
not be time trapped. Question of this nature deliberately tests your ability to identify one or two minute
details. A, C, and D may be easily eliminated due to the very fact that nitrogen, being an element
belonging to the second period that devoid of d orbital, is unlikely to violate the standard octet rule.

Reading Comprehension Test
1. B
Most of the passages on the real test are educational and/or instructive by default; and will usually be
associated with one or two questions of this kind. Candidates who have followed the instruction to read
the passage in full will find this always a bonus question given. B is most appropriate in view of the
enlightening information shared throughout the entire texts of the passage.
2. D
As plainly portrayed in the last sentence of paragraph 14, the instrument is there to dislodge disc stuck
in front of the condyle (head of the jawbone as indicated in paragraph 5).
3. C
If you read paragraph 10 in full, you will notice that TMJ disk or ligaments do not show up in TMJ X‐rays
at all, making this essentially impractical for diagnosis purposes. Sonography might not be needed by a
well‐trained clinician but no additional remarks have been given to entail its impracticality.
4. E
Of the three primary factors introduced in paragraph 4, only trauma has been discussed more in details
as is evidenced in paragraph 7. Stress is implicity elaborated in paragraphs 8 and 9.
5. C
TMD treatments are termed basic (paragraphs 11 and 12), intermediate (paragraph 13), and surgical
(paragraphs 14‐16).
6. B
Notice in paragraph 7 that movement of jaw from side to side (bilateral) is undesirable when a person
has TMD, making B (up and down) the best inference here. C‐E are rejected as these would be easily be
imagined as entailing some lateral jaw movement.
7. A
“That there are many causes of headache and jaw pain, while TMD, which is also located in the head,
can hurt through many different ways” typically creates a difficult diagnostic dilemma for health care
practitioners. B to D, though true, have simply not been as crucial as A is.
8. A
Prescription and over‐the‐counter medications, if used correctly, help alleviate (lessen) the pain only;
whereas narcotics have problems of addiction and rebound pain. Psychological and psychosocial
approach, on the other hand, appears to be more maneuverable through the Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Index. Hot and cold therapy is just a simple measure for treating mild pain, whereas
biofeedback has not been discussed in details in the passage.
9. E
A‐C are irreversible surgical treatments. Similarly, the removable splint can be irreversible therapy
depending on how it is made and used according to paragraph 11. Ultrasound treatment has only been
indicated in paragraph 13 to relieve soreness or improve mobility of the TMJ, making it the only non‐
invasive option here.
10. D
According the paragraphs 5 and 6, arthritis and joint degeneration are noted to be diseases that occur in
all (catch‐all) joints.
11. A
“Vascular disturbances” may implicitly be tied to the cold and warm therapy, but, it has literally
appeared once throughout the entire passage.
12. C
Answer A may easily be discarded through direct info given in paragraph 3. According to paragraph 4,
heredity serves only one of the three primary reasons for TMJ issue, rendering B invalid as well. And as
mentioned in paragraph 1, TMD can manifest many types of pain, making some of these manifestations
indistinguishable from other causes of headache and jaw pain. Also, it is the psychological problems
(instead of medications) that can end up the sole cause of pain. C is, on the other hand, supported by
the last sentence of paragraph 5.
13. B
You are supposed to look for the best diagnostic test, where only A and B fit in. Evidently, arthrography
with dye injected into the TMJ to clearly show the position of the disk would establish a concrete
verification here.
14. E
A‐D respectively relate on way or another with TMK inflammation in paragraphs 15, 12, 16, and 6.
15. D
Gum chewing causes only harm to the TMJ, making A, D, and E the possible answers. E is readily
discarded because a trauma is an accidental occurrence, whereas A is incorrect due to the presence of
the adverb, “often”, in the answer.
16. A
This is what the test would typically provide, although all other answers may indirectly be connected to
it.
17. E
E is wrong because of the disk is supposed to be held in place by ligaments and a capsule; the statement
would have been correct had the word “by” been replaced by “between”. The validity of D may be
inferred from the fact that the removable splint is also worn at night (when sleeping) to minimize
clenching or grinding of the teeth. A‐C may respectively be verified in paragraphs 7, 11, and 9.
18. B
Question of this nature will continue to appear on the test, underscoring the importance of reading the
passage once through with considerable understanding prior to answering all problems that follow.
Elaboration on human greed for gain, disregard for ecological impact, unscrupulous manner of disease
treatment, etc., as seen in the passage serve primarily to disclose scenes and ruling motives behind gene
amalgamation.
19. A
The first sentence of paragraph 1, that develops further to the last sentence of paragraph 2 and beyond,
explains it all for the answer of A. B to E might carry some traces of relation to problems arising from
genetic engineering, but they have not been considerable montioned or specifically detailed by the
author.
20. C
Although the first part of statement C is correct where Bt gene is known to kill corn borer, the second
half of it is contended by research in immunology from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
21. D
As illustrated in paragraph 3 and subsequent writings, it is the popular evolutionary belief in existence
through accident that has pushed modern gene technocrats to fabricate in vitro recombinant DNA
without adequate caution for long‐term human and environmental outcomes. The unclear future
originating from such pre‐supposition is logically not an ultimate solution for genetic issue in this very
respect. The concept of evolution may have sparked the shooting of foreign genes to the host cells, but
it has not been told to be facilitating (making easy) the very work of gene splicing.
22. E
A and B are measures which appear well regulated and endorsed in England. C is invalid because the
Heritage team has not found any active bla in bacteria from either the Bt‐corn‐fed animals or the silage
runoff. D is an issue that concerns the US. As expounded in paragraphs 9 to 11, the incorporation of such
foreign plasmid to the bacterial DNA brings about new strains of pathogens that will be resistant to
antibiotic, making this of prime concern to the British authority.
23. C
As indicated in paragraphs 3 and 8, the potent Bt gene may be spliced into the corn DNA through
aggressive and strong viruses (vectors), with very poor aim though.
24. C
Basing on information supplied in the second half of paragraph 2, the ratio of Bt‐gene corns to
conventional (traditional) ones in the fields can quickly be computed as follows:
30% : (100% ‐ 30%) => 3 : 7
25. B
In the first sentence of paragraph 4, Bt gene (a toxin as explained/termed in paragraphs 4‐7) splicing
technique has been told spreading not only to corn but also to potatoes and rice. Similar technique
might have been adopted for cultivation of many other crops and plants. You should, nevertheless, limit
your answer pick to information provided by the passage, unless otherwise specified by the question
presented.
26. D
Considering the root of all evils entailed in gene amalgamation arises from the rush for quick‐fix
pragmatism, the technocrats certainly need to stop, reflect, and think about the backfiring of their
“design by accident” philosophy, before more tragic and costly lessons will be needed later.
27. D
Effects of this toxin is delineated from there till it is finally termed as the Bt gene in paragraph 7,
although plasmid (a naked DNA associated by Dr. Heritage with the “bla” gene) may be related ehre
from a different perspective.
28. A
According to Heritage team, the saliva of cattle (where the mouth is) is the likeliest digestive site for
plasmid (containing “bla” that leads to antibiotic resistance) absorption by any bacterium thriving there.
29. C
In the field conditions simulated by Losey and his teams as described in paragraph 4, it is pollen from a
Bt hybrid that has killed and stunted the monarch caterpillars and no the moistened milkweed leaves.
Question of this nature deliberately tests your ability to abstract passage info with great speed and
accuracy, which may easily be achieved through exhibition of strong confidence and unobstructed
concentration during the test.
30. B
From information given in the second half of paragraph 4, the portion of monarch butterflies killed can
quickly be approximated as follows:
19/100 ~ 20/100 = 1/5
31. C
The author attempts to draw evidences (like B and E) to support his disapproval of churning out new
combinations of genes from almost anywhere—plant, animal, or man—to almost anywhere. D along
with A would all the more promote gene amalgamation. C, if found true, would somehow disrupt the
author’s tone in the passage.
32. A
The first statement is wrong because the trigger as traced in paragraph 13 refers to the irritation of
macrophages that sends off IL‐6 for the attack of the lung. The second statement may easily be verified
from the last sentence of paragraph 5.
33. E
Bt toxin was reported in the first half of paragraph 6 as mounting damages to mitochondria, and short
microvilli on the bowel surfaces of the lab mice. Answer A has not been discussed in the passage,
whereas the incorrectness of statements B and C has simply been due to the wrong input of descriptive
words. The sensible concern raised by the British government has certainly been in line with the central
theme of the passage.
34. C
Human spleen is larger in men and heaviest in young adults according to information given in the first
paragraph, making C the best estimate.
35. C
Sympathetic nerves have been known to shrink the spleen during an emergency via constriction of
associated veins, according paragraph 2. This renders C the incorrect statement.
36. B
Correct information is presented in paragraph 5, although rest of other answers might be connected to a
weakened spleen as observed here.
37. E
You are supposed to look for another befitting symptom associated with an enlarged spleen. As
mentioned in paragraph 14, splenomegaly can reduce the number of healthy cells in the bloodstream
including the platelets (cells that help the blood clot as indicated in paragraph 7), making E the likeliest
symptom among all answer choices here. In fact, this symptom is similar in nature to hemorrhage (as
noted in paragraph 14 again), but you need not possess this knowledge to land on the right answer.
38. C
As noted in paragraph 2, the spleen shrinks during an emergency just like the incident mentioned in C. It
enlarges during digestion or when the body is sick (paragraph 10), and understandably remains normal
when the body is resting.
39. D
As inferred from paragraph 13, contact sports like soccer, football, polo, hockey, etc render an enlarged
spleen more vulnerable to rupture just like a motorcycle (physical) accident would do.
40. E
According to data given in paragraph 1, the following calculations can quickly be carried out within a
couple of seconds:
Amount of white pulp: (1/4) x 400 = 100 mL
Amount of red pulp: 400 – 100 = 300 mL
41. D
In view of the many vital functions handled by the spleen (like catching cancer cells trying to metastasize
through the blood) as well as the consequences of post‐splenectomy, current practice among the
surgeons is to try keeping this organ (as statistically indicated in the Vanderbilt series) rather than
resorting to the old‐style hasty removal.
42. A
Note that the people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are more prone to enlarging the spleen simple
because of their higher risk of contacting Gauchers or Niemann‐Pick disease. Logically, anyone having
one of these storage diseases would have an equal chance of developing splenomegaly (assuming all
other factors being equal).
43. A
Paragraph 1 and 10 collectively indicate that the spleen is a purple spongy organ located on the left
abdomen, and about the size of a fist. Based upon the roles and functions presented in the passage, the
spleen will more appropriately be associated as the primary or first line of defense to the body,
rendering D incorrect as well. Answer A may apparently be abstracted anywhere from paragraph 4 to
paragraph 10 in the passage.
44. B
According to paragraph 3, the nervous system and endocrine hormonal system are clearly noted as
directing the body’s immune system (associated with splenic infection‐fighting episodes).
45. A
According to paragraph 13, both delicate surgery and netting are the two options used in preserving a
ruptured spleen. Radiation and antibiotics, as pointed out in paragraph 17, respectively pertain to
conditions affected by Hodgkin’s disease and infection.
46. E
Correct answer can directly be traced in the second half of paragraph 14, where anemia or hemorrhage
is caused by the blood damaging process of a deranged and dysfunctional spleen. Answer A may be
discarded since measures like antibiotics and radiation will always be adopted prior to taking up the last
option—splenectomy. A dysfunctional spleen may have more white blood cells added to its content, but
nowhere in the passage would be found to support the very extent of having the white and red pulp
composition flipped to a ratio of 3:1.
47. B
In connection with the last paragraph of the passage, you are supposed to pick an answer that would
minimize the risk of post‐splenectomy infection. Obviously, confining yourself to a region free from any
endemic or epidemic would save your body the risky task of fighting the highly infectious disease.
48. C
Correct answer may be mapped out in paragraphs 4 and 9. Pitting and culling are characteristic of the
spleen, whereas the old iron from red blood cells gets recycled in the bone marrow.
49. A
Paragraph 10 is noted as saying “…The battle can become so hot that when losing it the spleen will even
resort to enlargement of itself by the addition of millions of extra soldiers (white blood cells as indicated
in paragraph 7)…” This explains for the answer of A. Answer B would shrink the spleen, while answer D is
simply a result (or a symptom) of splenomegaly where the enlarged spleen presses down on the upper
left abdomen, under (and against) the stomach.
50. D
Paragraph 7 mentions that the spleen contains a third of all the platelets in the body, implying that [1 –
(1/3)] = 2/3 of the body platelets may be found elsewhere in the body. A, B, C, and E can all be rejected
via info given in paragraphs 1, 8, 9, and 6 respectively.

Among the 5 tosses, there are 3 heads alike, and 2 tails alike. The number of permutations of all 5 tosses
is therefore, !
! !10
Since the total number of all possible 5 tosses is 25 = 32 {multiplication rule}, the probability of getting
three heads and two tails in a five consecutive tosses of a fair coin is finally obtained as 10/32 = 5/16.
