    Question 1: Originating in the 1920s, the Pyramid scheme is one of the oldest con games going. Honest people are often pulled in, thinking the scheme is a legitimate investment enterprise. The first customer to “fall for” the Pyramid scheme will actually make big money and will therefore persuade friends and relatives to join also. The chain then continues with the con artist who originated the scheme pocketing, rather than investing, the money. Finally, the pyramid collapses, but by that time, the scam artist will usually have moved out of town, leaving no forwarding address. This paragraph best supports the statement that
    A. it is fairly easy to spot a Pyramid scheme in the making.
    B. the people who set up Pyramid schemes are able to fool honest people.
    C. the first customer of a Pyramid scheme is the most gullible.
    D. the Pyramid scheme had its heyday in the 1920s, but it’s making a comeback.
    Question 2: Most Reality TV centers on two common motivators: fame and money. The shows transform waitresses, hairdressers, investment bankers, counselors, and teachers, to name a few, from obscure figures to household names. A lucky few successfully parlay their fifteen minutes of fame into celebrity. The luckiest stars of Reality TV also reap huge financial rewards for acts including eating large insects, marrying someone they barely know, and revealing their innermost thoughts to millions of people. This paragraph best supports the statement that
    A. Reality TV is the best thing that has happened to network television in a long time.
    B. the stars of Reality TV are interested in being rich and famous
    C. for Reality TV stars, fame will last only as long as their particular television show.

    Question 3: The image of a knitter as an older woman sitting in a comfortable, old-fashioned living room with a basket of yarn at her feet and a bun in her hair is one of the past. As knitting continues to become more popular and increasingly trendy, it is much more difficult to describe the average knitter. Knitters today might be 18, 28, 40, or 65. They might live in a big urban center and take classes in a knitting shop that doubles as a cafe or they may gather in suburban coffee shops to support one another in knitting and other aspects of life. They could be college roommates knitting in their dorm room or two senior citizens knitting in a church hall. Even men are getting in the act. It would be incredibly difficult to come up with an accurate profile of a contemporary knitter to replace that image of the old woman with the basket of yarn! This paragraph best supports the statement that
    A. people are returning to knitting in an attempt to reconnect with simpler times.
    B. reating an accurate profile of a particular type of person depends on the people in this group having traits and characteristics in common.
    C. knitting is now more of a group activity, as opposed to an individual hobby.

    Question 5: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions: Some groups want to outlaw burning the flag.

Also, most citizens who have served in the military did not fight for the flag, they fought for what the flag represents. Among the things the flag represents is freedom of speech, which includes, I believe, the right for a citizen to express displeasure with the government by burning the flag in protest.
    Which of the following is similar to the argument made by the speaker?
    A. The rich should not be allowed to buy politicians, so the Congress should enact campaign finance reform.

    D. Convicted felons should not have their convictions overturned on a technicality.
