Choose the option marked A, B, C, or D that best completes each of the following sentences
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their home is set aside as work area, they never really get away from the office.
The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT ________.
the lack of interaction with a group
the work place is in the home
the opportunities for advancement
the different system of supervision

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist- skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated.
Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word. The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes.So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.
The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT
they are watchful and quiet
they sleep during the day
they dig home underground
they are noisy and aggressive
We can infer from the passage that
healthy animals live longer lives
living things adjust to their environment
desert life is colorful and diverse
water is the basis of desert life
According to the passage, creatures in the desert
are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
live in an accommodating environment
are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT
moist-skinned animals
many large animals
water-loving animals
the coyote and the bobcat
The word “them” means
animals
minutes
people
water
The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means
wild
unmanageable
cunning
unhealthy
Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as
water is an essential part of his existence
very few large animals are found in the desert
sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
The title for this passage could be
“Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”
“Desert Plants”
“Animal Life in a Desert Environment”
“Life Underground”
