5)While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:● An interdisciplinary team from the University of Freiburg has discovered a previouslyunknown 2500-year-old Etruscan temple in the ancient city of Vulci, Italy.● The building, which is 45 meters by 35 meters, is situated west of the Tempio Grande,another sacred building which was excavated back in the 1950s.● The temple is almost an exact replica of the Tempio Grande.● Initial examination of the temple led the researchers to date its construction towardsthe end of the sixth century BCE.● This duplication of monumental buildings in an Etruscan city is rare, and indicates anexceptional finding.●The team discovered the temple when working on the Vulci Cityscape project, aimed atunderstanding the urban structures of Vulci. The student wants to emphasize thesignificance of the discovery of temple. Which choice most effectively uses relevantinformation from the notes to accomplish this goal?RSYPRAEN-005The discovery of this huge temple structure holds special significance in the annals of temple structures in Italy predating the Christian era.Apart from the fact that the structure is over 2500 years old, the temple is a unique example of huge structures being replicated in an ancient Etruscan city.In an excavation in the Italian city of Vulci, researchers have discovered a sixteenth century Etruscan temple that is a rare and exact copy of a previously discovered sacred monument.Though the newly excavated temple seems to replicate the Tempio Grande, it is unique in its dimensions and in its primeval heritage.

Researchers areinvestigating this feat partly to learn more abouthumans’ comparatively limited abilities toregenerate, and they’re making exciting progress. Anespecially promising discovery is that both humansand panther worms have a gene for early growthresponse (EGR) linked to regeneration.Text 2When Mansi Srivastava and her team reported thatpanther worms, like humans, possess a gene for EGR,it caused excitement. However, as the team pointedout, the gene likely functions very differently inhumans than it does in panther worms. Srivastavahas likened EGR to a switch that activates othergenes involved in regeneration in panther worms,but how this switch operates in humans remainsunclear.Based on the texts, what would the author of Text 2most likely say about Text 1’s characterization of thediscovery involving EGR?A) It is reasonable given that Srivastava and herteam have identified how EGR functions in bothhumans and panther worms.B) It is overly optimistic given additionalobservations from Srivastava and her team.C) It is unexpected given that Srivastava and herteam’s findings were generally met withenthusiasm.D) It is unfairly dismissive given the progress thatSrivastava and her team have reported.10The following text is adapted from WilliamShakespeare’s 1609 poem “Sonnet 27.” The poem isaddressed to a close friend as if he were physicallypresent.Weary with toil, I [hurry] to my bed,The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;But then begins a journey in my headTo work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:For then my thoughts—from far where I abide—[Begin] a zealous pilgrimage to thee,And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,What is the main idea of the text?A) The speaker is asleep and dreaming abouttraveling to see the friend.B) The speaker is planning an upcoming trip to thefriend’s house.C) The speaker is too fatigued to continue adiscussion with the friend.D) The speaker is thinking about the friend insteadof immediately falling asleep.
