Week 1 : Let's Start at the Very Beginning - Quiz
Question 1.1. (TCOs 2 and 3) In Chapter 1, we learned how to recognize the main issue in a
passage. Consider the following example:
“If you're going to buy a computer, you might as well sign up for some lessons on how to
use the thing too. After all, no computer ever did any work for its owner until the owner
found out how to make it work.”
The main issue is whether or not (Points : 4)
computer can do all the work that needs to be
done. computers can do most of the work
themselves. everyone should buy a computer.
a person who buys a computer should take some lessons on how to use it.
Question 2.2. (TCOs 2 and 3) In Chapter 1, we learned how to recognize the main issue in a
passage. Consider the following example:
“We have little choice but to concentrate our energy-policy efforts on renewable resources
because we don't have any idea how much longer fossil fuel sources will last.”
The main issue is whether or not (Points : 4)
renewable resources will replace fossil
fuels. fossil fuels will last for the indefinite
future.
we should concentrate our energy-policy efforts on renewable
resources. renewable resources are a practical alternative to fossil fuels.
Question 3.3. (TCOs 1 and 2) In Chapter 1, we learned how to recognize the main issue in a
passage. Consider the following example:
“In pre-civil war Spain, the influence of the Catholic church must have been much
stronger on women than on men. You can determine this by looking at the number of
religious communities, such as monasteries, nunneries, and so forth. A total of about
5,000 such communities existed in 1931; 4,000 of them were female, whereas only 1,000
of them were male. Seems to me that proves my point about the Church's influence on
the sexes.”
The issue is whether or not the Catholic church of pre-war Spain (Points : 4)
built more nunneries than monasteries.
had greater influence on women than on men.
