GMAT Verbal Reasoning Practice Set 10

The most powerful space telescope built to date is the James Webb Space Telescope, also known as Webb. It contains a mirror so large that the pieces of the mirror had to be folded to fit into a launching rocket. Once in orbit, the telescope unfolded all the pieces to capture light from various celestial sources.

Powered by an array of onboard solars, the ten billion dollar James Webb Space Telescope has been built to aid in scientific discoveries for at least ten years. The telescope is also composed of a sunshield, eighteen gold-plated mirrors, and infrared detector cameras.

Webb’s sunshield acts as a big hat. Because space is an extremely hot environment, the instruments and mirrors needed a form of protection from the harsh elements. The five layers of protection block the light to help preserve the longevity of Webb’s scientific life. Sun-facing sides of the telescope have been known to be more than six-hundred degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the shaded sides.

Upon entering orbit, Webb’s eighteen smaller mirrors unfolded to create one large mirror. The mirrors are plated with a 100 nanometers layer of gold to reflect infrared light. A highly reflective material, gold allows the mirrors to focus the light of faraway objects onto the sensitive instruments.

The camera and instrument technology of Webb sees through dust and observes approximately thirty-nine percent of the sky at once as the telescope moves around the sun. The goal of Webb’s instruments is to capture images from light undetectable to the human eye. Therefore, catapulting scientists’ knowledge of the universe far beyond what would be possible without this innovative technology. The data gathered by the telescope surpasses human detection so greatly, scientists must convert Webb’s raw data into a representation the human eye can comprehend.

All these components work together to capture the pieces of the universe that are invisible to the human eye. The telescope can transmit over fifty-seven gigabytes of recorded data daily. Scientists are excited to see the discoveries made daily by the James Webb Space Telescope.

The passage suggests which of the following about the types of mirrors needed to collect celestial data?

According to the passage, what do many of Webb’s parts have in common?

College Student: I admit the themes in my new thesis An Examination of the Influence of Live Streaming reflect the thesis of my older brother’s thesis, titled The Impact of Streaming Platforms on Today’s Society. However, the institution’s allegation of plagiarism is groundless. While both works detail similar ideas on streaming platforms, I had never read my brother’s work, which was published two years ago, before completing my own thesis.

Which of the following provides the most support for the graduate student’s position?

Store Manager: The biggest profit in our shoe store last year depended on thick, warm socks and winter boots. Unfortunately, the reliability of deliveries from our source has decreased due to a nationwide worker shortage. For this reason, to maintain our store profits, we will have to increase the prices of products in these categories until the nationwide worker shortage is over and deliveries reach previous levels.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the store manager’s argument depends?

When it comes to college sports, the objective of recruiting is to best position teams for long-term growth and sustainability. Recruiting is how college coaches fill their rosters each year. The end goal of every team is to win, but as current players transfer or graduate, the team’s needs change. Coaches may be looking for athletes that have the potential to help their upcoming team through physical, behavioral, or academic skills. The recruiting process allows coaches to evaluate the skills of each potential student-athlete to evaluate which student-athletes would most benefit their team in the following years.

Recruitment can be a lengthy and extensive process. In many cases, recruiting requires that coaches communicate with potential recruits through phone calls, text messages, letters, emails, and face-to-face conversations. Once coaches have narrowed down potential recruits to those that would best benefit the team, in-person evaluations of potential recruits begin. This may include recruitment coaches going to watch potential recruits play or having potential recruits come to try out during a college visit with their families. An additional option is to invite potential recruits to camps so coaches can evaluate many potential student-athletes at one time. These unique environments provide the advantage of seeing how potential student-athletes work with one another and how potential student-athletes work with current team players. In reality, the athletic college recruitment process could go on for the majority of the time student-athletes are in high school.

Not all recruiting processes last over the course of several years but It is not uncommon for D1 athletes especially to verbally commit to a college by their sophomore year of high school. Whether it be a potential recruit’s sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school, the first step toward joining a college-level team is to make a verbal commitment to that college. After the verbal commitments are made by the players, college coaches will provide an official written offer to the potential student-athlete. By signing a written commitment, recruits are agreeing to continue to meet the admission requirements specified by the college.

The author includes the phrase By signing a written commitment, recruits are agreeing to continue to meet the admission requirements specified by the college in order to
