NEW QUESTION # 150
Men are primarily and secondarily socialized into believing certain characteristics are definitive in determining their masculinity. These characteristics range from playing violently to not crying when they are injured. The socialization of masculinity in our society begins as early as the first stages of infancy, with awareness of adult gender role differences being internalized by children as young as two years old.
Studies show that advertising imagery equates masculinity with violence by portraying the trait of aggression as instrumental to establishing their masculinity. Lee Bowker, who researched the influence of advertisements on youth, asserts that toy advertisements featuring only boys depict aggressive behavior and that the aggressive behavior produces positive consequences more often than negative.
Bowker also looked at commercials with boys that contain references to domination. His results indicated that 68.6% of the commercials positioned toward boys contain incidents of verbal and physical aggression.
However, there were no cross gender displays of aggressive behavior. Interestingly, not one single-sex commercial featuring girls showed any act of aggression. Bowker's research helps explain that it is not just the reinforcement of a child's close caretakers that lends legitimacy to aggressive masculine tendencies but society as a whole, using the medium of television.
William Pollack, a Harvard clinical psychologist, talks about how males have been put in a "gender straightjacket" that leads to anger, despair and often violence. Pollack states that society asks men to put a whole range of feelings and emotions behind a mask and shames them if they display any emotion.
Pollack contends that boys are 'shame phobic', even killing, in extreme cases, to avoid dishonor. It appears that the standard defined by society allows men to express their emotion only through anger.
Ironically, though these rigid stereotypes of what it means to be a man have been inculcated from an early age, men are often criticized for being one-dimensional in their behavior and emotions.
Women often verbalize a desire for males to be sensitive and express their emotions. But male insensitivity is the culmination of a societal indoctrination begun at birth. Realistically, men are in a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation. If they fail to show their emotions, they are berated for being detached from the essence of what constitutes a human being. On the other hand, if a male decides to expose his emotions, he is often branded effeminate and regarded as inferior to other males who stick closer to their gender's traditional doctrine.
The passage suggests that, when compared with television advertisement featuring boys, advertisements that had only girls were found
- A. To be remarkably similar in focus and content
- B. To have more references to domination
- C. To be void of any acts of aggression
- D. To be 68.6% less aggressive
- E. To be replete with extensive examples of cross gender aggression

NEW QUESTION # 159
Gloria: Those who advocate tuition tax credits for parents whose children attend private schools maintain that people making no use of a government service should not be forced to pay for it. Yet those who choose to buy bottled water rather than drink water from the local supply are not therefore exempt from paying taxes to maintain the local water supply.
Roger: Your argument is illogical. Children are required by law to attend school. Since school attendance is a matter not of choice, but of legal requirement, it is unfair for the government to force some parents to pay for it twice.
Which of the following responses by Gloria would best refute Roger's charge that her argument is illogical?
- A. The law does not say that parents must send their children to private schools, only that the children must attend some kind of school, whether public or private.
- B. Both bottled water and private schools are luxury items, and it is unfair that some citizens should be able to afford them while others cannot.
- C. Although drinking water is not required by law, it is necessary for all people, and therefore my analogy is appropriate.
- D. If tuition tax credits are granted, the tax burden on parents who choose public schools will rise to an intolerable level.
- E. Those who can afford the tuition at a high-priced private school can well bear the same tax burden as those whose children attend public schools.

NEW QUESTION # 160
Identical twins tend to have similar personalities; if environment outweighs heredity in personality development, twins raised together should presumably have more similar personalities than those raised apart. A recent study of identical twins in both situations measured 11 key traits through a questionnaire, and concluded that 7 of the 11 are primarily products of heredity.
Which of the following, if established, would cast the most doubt on the study's results?
- A. Fewer than half of the pairs of twins studied were raised separately.
- B. The 11 traits that were measured constitute a representative sample of larger, generally accepted pool of key personality traits.
- C. Some of the traits that the study attributed to heredity developed in the separately raised twins because those pairs all grew up in similar families.
- D. The ages of all of the twins studied fell within a 10-year range.
- E. Although over half the traits measured were determined to be linked to heredity, the nature of those traits varied widely.

NEW QUESTION # 161
In Asia, where palm trees are non-native, the trees' flowers have traditionally been pollinated by hand, which has kept palm fruit productivity unnaturally low. When weevils known to be efficient pollinators of palm flowers were introduced into Asia in 1980, palm fruit productivity increased - by up to fifty percent in some areas - but then decreased sharply in 1984.
Which of the following statements, if true, would best explain the 1984 decrease in productivity?
- A. Imported trees are often more productive than native trees because the imported ones have left behind their pests and diseases in their native lands.
- B. Prices for palm fruit fell between 1980 and 1984 following the rise in production and a concurrent fall in demand.
- C. Prior to 1980 another species of insect pollinated the Asian palm trees, but not as efficiently as the species of weevil that was introduced in 1980.
- D. The weevil population in Asia remained at approximately the same level between 1980 and 1984.
- E. Rapid increases in productivity tend to deplete trees of nutrients needed for the development of the fruit-producing female flowers.
