Questions 10-11 are based on the following passage. According to the theory of plate tectonics, the lithosphere (earth’s relatively hard and solid outer layer consisting of the crust andLine part of the underlying mantle) is divided (5) into a few dozen plates that vary in size and shape; in general, these plates move in rela- tion to one another. They move away from one another at a mid-ocean ridge, a long chain of sub-oceanic mountains that forms a (10) boundary between plates. At a mid-ocean ridge, new lithospheric material in the form of hot magma pushes up from the earth’s interior. The injection of this new lithos- pheric material from below causes the phe- (15) nomenon known as sea-floor spreading. Given that the earth is not expanding in size to any appreciable degree, how can "new" lithosphere be created at a mid-ocean ridge For new lithosphere to come into (20) being in one region, an equal amount of lithospheric material must be destroyed somewhere else. This destruction takes place at a boundary between plates called a sub- duction zone. At a subduction zone, one (25) plate is pushed down under another into the red-hot mantle, where over a span of mil- lions of years it is absorbed into the mantle. According to the passage, a mid-ocean ridge differs from a subduction zone in that
Directions: The next questions are based on the content of the following passage. Read the passage and then determine the best answer choice for each question. Base your choice on what this passage states directly or implies, not on any information you may have gained elsewhere. For each of Questions 7-11, select one answer choice unless otherwise instructed. Questions 7-9 are based on the following passage. James’s first novels used conventional nar- rative techniques: explicit characterization, action that related events in distinctly phasedLine sequences, settings firmly outlined and (5) specifically described. But this method grad- ually gave way to a subtler, more deliberate, more diffuse style of accumulation of minutely discriminated details whose total significance the reader can grasp only by (10) constant attention and sensitive inference. His later novels play down scenes of abrupt and prominent action, and do not so much offer a succession of sharp shocks as slow piecemeal additions of perception. The cur- (15) tain is not suddenly drawn back from shrouded things, but is slowly moved away. Such a technique is suited to James’s essential subject, which is not human action itself but the states of mind that produce and are pro- (20) duced by human actions and interactions. James was less interested in what characters do, than in the moral and psychological antecedents, realizations, and consequences which attend their doings. This is why he (25) more often speaks of "cases" than of actions. His stories, therefore, grow more and more lengthy while the actions they relate grow simpler and less visible; not because they are crammed with adventitious and secondary (30) events, digressive relief, or supernumerary characters, as overstuffed novels of action are; but because he presents in such exhaus- tive detail every nuance of his situation. Commonly the interest of a novel is in the (35) variety and excitement of visible actions building up to a climactic event which will settle the outward destinies of characters with storybook promise of permanence. A James novel, however, possesses its character- (40) istic interest in carrying the reader through a rich analysis of the mental adjustments of characters to the realities of their personal situations as they are slowly revealed to them through exploration and chance discovery. The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions
