Level 5 Passage 4
B
purchase (verb): to acquire through the payment of money or its equivalent; to buy. The question asks us to find the best synonym. Synonyms are words that have nearly the same meanings. The author tells us that if making homemade tomato sauce sounds like too much work, we can “purchase jarred sauce from the store.” Using context, we can understand that another word for purchase is buy . If you are unfamiliar with the word “purchase,” you might still be able to guess that people usually go to a store in order to buy things. Choice (B) is correct. The passage does not provide information to support choices (A), (C), and (D). Therefore they are incorrect. 4) C To answer this question correctly, it helps to use context. At the end of paragraph 3 the author writes, "If this sounds like too much work, you can also purchase jarred sauce from the store. Many jarred sauces taste almost as good as the kind you make at home." The author tells us that as a substitute for something that takes too much work, we can purchase jarred sauce. This may seem like a poor substitute, but the author explains that this is not necessarily the case; many jarred sauces taste almost as good as the kind you make at home. Using this information, we can understand that the purpose of the statement in question is to clarify an earlier statement. Choice (C) is correct. The passage does not provide information to support choices (A), (B), and (D). Therefore they are incorrect. 5) A In paragraph 4, the author asks the reader, "Do you have a cow in your backyard? Do you know how to milk the cow? Do you know how to turn that milk into cheese?" The author thinks that he or she knows the answer to these questions. The author thinks that you probably do not have a cow in your backyard, do not know how to milk a cow, and do not know how to turn milk in cheese. After all, not many people would answer these questions positively. Given that the author expects that most people would not answer positively to these questions, then it is fair to assume that most people are unable to make home- made cheese. The author’s question is intended to be rhetorical, or perhaps even sarcastic. This means choice (A) is correct. The passage does not provide information to support choices (B), (C), and (D). Therefore they are incorrect. 6) Download 426.64 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
