Question 1 of 40
1. Question
Questions 1–8 are based on the following letter.
Dan Karlsberg
1223 Teatree Lane
Cincinnati, OH 45243Dear 1 Mr. Karlsberg
My name is Taylor Dalton and I am writing to you on behalf of Silver Hill High School’s Jazz Ensemble. Our band director, Mr. Langford, showed us some of your jazz piano 2 recordings, and we were all very impressed. Several students in the Jazz Ensemble got together and decided to ask if you would be willing to perform and give a workshop for our school’s annual Spring Concert. 3
This is the first year our school has had a Jazz Ensemble. All the players in the Ensemble come from our school’s Marching Band and Concert Band. We are very interested in learning more about jazz music, and about how to be better improvisers. 4 It’s so cool and pretty weird to learn how improvising is more than “just making up music” — it takes a lot of practice and skill.
When this group first began, few of us had listened to very much jazz. Since the 5 begining of the school year, Mr. Langford has 5 introduced us to 5 famous jazz musicians like Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holliday. We think jazz music is fun, interesting, and inspiring, and we were excited to learn that there are even some great jazz musicians living in this city today. 6 As a jazz musician, we would be honored to learn from you about your thoughts and experiences.
With this letter, we have also included a copy of the sheet music for a piece we’ll be playing at the 7 Spring Concert: a band arrangement of Duke Ellington’s “Fleurette Africaine.” There is a very interesting piano part for the song, and we were hoping you’d be willing to play it with us.
Lastly, 8 we have all been working diligently to compile a list of questions and inquiries about how to get better at improvising when we play jazz. Perhaps you would be willing to give a short talk about how you learned to improvise music, or to give us some tips for how to practice improvising.
Thank you very much for your time. We hope to hear from you soon.

Question 9 of 40
9. Question
Questions 9–17 are based on the following passage.
The Father of the American Revolution
Despite his tremendous influence on the history of the United States, 9 nobody knows who this person Thomas Paine actually was. Paine was born on 10 February 9 1737, in the town of Thetford England. As a young man, Paine worked as a tailor, sailor, 11 and he also was working as a minister, but he found his true calling when he moved to the British colonies in America.
Paine first gained notoriety as the editor of Pennsylvania Magazine, and he became more prominent as political turmoil engulfed the colonies. 12 Pennsylvania later became the second state to ratify the US constitution, after Delaware. In 1776, Paine anonymously published a book called Common Sense, in which he made a persuasive and impassioned case for American independence from Britain. The book’s popularity spread like 13 wildfire; soon there were 200,000 copies in circulation. Once the American Revolution began, Paine published a series of pamphlets called The Crisis. Paine’s work became a source of morale for troops engaged in the bloody war.
14 Unfortunatly, Paine’s ideas were not popular with all readers. In 1793, he was imprisoned in France for 14 opposing the 14 execution of Louis XVI, who had been overthrown in the French Revolution. He died nearly penniless in New York City in 1809. Nevertheless, Thomas Paine lives on in the present day through his timeless writing. 15
Thomas Paine’s visionary ideas were far-reaching in scope. American Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams drew heavily on his 16 work, when drafting the Declaration of Independence. 17 In an essay called Agrarian Justice, Paine envisioned a system of social insurance for both the young and the elderly. His innovative idea would pave the way for what would become modern-day Social Security. Paine is also credited with conceiving the name “The United States of America.”

Question 17 of 40
17. Question
The Father of the American Revolution
Despite his tremendous influence on the history of the United States, 9 nobody knows who this person Thomas Paine actually was. Paine was born on 10 February 9 1737, in the town of Thetford England. As a young man, Paine worked as a tailor, sailor, 11 and he also was working as a minister, but he found his true calling when he moved to the British colonies in America.
Paine first gained notoriety as the editor of Pennsylvania Magazine, and he became more prominent as political turmoil engulfed the colonies. 12 Pennsylvania later became the second state to ratify the US constitution, after Delaware. In 1776, Paine anonymously published a book called Common Sense, in which he made a persuasive and impassioned case for American independence from Britain. The book’s popularity spread like 13 wildfire; soon there were 200,000 copies in circulation. Once the American Revolution began, Paine published a series of pamphlets called The Crisis. Paine’s work became a source of morale for troops engaged in the bloody war.
14 Unfortunatly, Paine’s ideas were not popular with all readers. In 1793, he was imprisoned in France for 14 opposing the 14 execution of Louis XVI, who had been overthrown in the French Revolution. He died nearly penniless in New York City in 1809. Nevertheless, Thomas Paine lives on in the present day through his timeless writing. 15
Thomas Paine’s visionary ideas were far-reaching in scope. American Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams drew heavily on his 16 work, when drafting the Declaration of Independence. 17 In an essay called Agrarian Justice, Paine envisioned a system of social insurance for both the young and the elderly. His innovative idea would pave the way for what would become modern-day Social Security. Paine is also credited with conceiving the name “The United States of America.”

Mr. Eric Nielsen

Swirl Corporation
Wilmington, NC 28409Dear Mr. Nielsen:
18 Me and my wife have been customers of the Swirl Corporation for the past 30 years. We have purchased various household appliances such as dishwashers, ovens, washers, and dryers from the local Swirl outlet store since moving here in the early nineties. We recently purchased a Swirl Eco Energy Star refrigerator from your store to replace our old non-Energy Star refrigerator. The new refrigerator worked well for two months before the top freezer stopped cooling completely. 19 Are energy bills also seem too have increased by about $25 per month since we bought this new Energy Star model.
Upon researching the problem, I found that there have been recalls of several products with 20 serial numbers comparable to us. I spoke to 21 your salesman, Lucas Garcia, at the outlet store, but all he did was tell me to call your toll free number. I called the toll free number and returning the refrigerator was something I was advised to do to your outlet store in order for it to be forwarded on to your distribution facility.
It has been over three weeks since we returned the refrigerator to your 23 store, but, we still hadn’t received a status update. Our energy bills have dropped back to their original level since we switched back to our old refrigerator. Our goal was to reduce our energy bill, so we are still dissatisfied. If you would like to retain us as customers, then please address these issues immediately.

Question 25 of 40
25. Question
Questions 25–33 are based on the following passage.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a women’s rights activist and 25 had been a leader in the movement that eventually secured American women the right to vote. Her early education, upbringing, and interest in social matters set her on a path of leadership, 26 and she inspired other men and women to take up the cause as well.
27 Susan B. Anthony was clearly focused on the issue of voting rights for women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton had a different approach. She wanted to promote the broader issue of women’s rights. Her concerns included women’s custody and property rights, employment and income rights, separation and divorce laws, birth control, and abortion. Although Anthony and Stanton disagreed on the focus of the women’s rights 28 movement, they remained friends, and, continued working together towards voting rights for women.
Stanton remained focused on her 29 work; writing many important books, documents, and speeches for the women’s rights movement. She also traveled and lectured widely, earning money to pay for her sons to attend college. Stanton promoted voting rights 30 in women in several states, and made an unsuccessful attempt to secure a U.S. Congressional seat from New York.
As Stanton grew older, she became more active internationally. In 1888, she worked to found the International Council of Women. In the U.S., it took until 1890 for the divided supporters of the women’s rights movement to eventually reunite as the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and Stanton became the organization’s first president. However, after spending over five decades working towards equal rights for women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in 1902, still some twenty years before women gained the right to vote. 31
Because of her 32 controversial ideas, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was initially overshadowed by Susan B. Anthony, who was more frequently 32 recognized as the founder of the women’s rights movement. Over time, however, recognition of Stanton’s work has increased. Elizabeth Cady Stanton became 32 acknowleged for taking a founding role in the women’s suffrage movement. 33

These capabilities will help us to match our 34 client’s with more appropriate products. Training on the advanced analytics will begin on July 1st and training on the client database will begin the following week. This platform includes more advanced analytics capabilities. In addition, the new system will provide a more flexible client database.
Another issue I will like to bring to your attention involves the introduction of our 24-hour customer support line. We will need to run a third shift from 12:00 AM – 8:00 AM to staff the 24-hour customer support line and would like to invite interested employees to contact 36 Pam Roberts the shift coordinator about their interest in working on the third shift. Third shift employees will be paid overtime rates. This should serve as additional motivation for those looking to make some extra cash.
Robin Messer will be joining our company next week as head of our commercial lending division. Robin has been working at Affinity Bank for the past 5 years where she increased 39 their commercial lending portfolio by 80 percent over that time.
