[Show More] he basic functional unit of a living organism. Ecosystems are home to thousands of organisms, each playing a necessary role. ABOUT 40% THE GED SCIENCE QUESTIONS WILL BE ABOUT LIFE SCIENCES. Cell - CORRECT ANSWER the basic functional unit of an organism DNA - CORRECT ANSWER contains all the instructions needed to direct a cell's activities Mitosis - CORRECT ANSWER replication of a cell & its DNA Life science (or biology) - CORRECT ANSWER is the study of all living things, from plants to animals and humans. A biologist is someone who- - CORRECT ANSWER studies organisms, or living things, of which there are over 1.5 million different types. Biologist study their structures, their life cycles, and their relationship to their environment. Scientist have come up with a way to separate the living from the non-living: - CORRECT ANSWER -Has a life cycle (from birth to death) -Has the ability to move or grow -Has the need to find sources of energy as in feeding -Has the ability to respond to stimuli, or something in the environment, that causes a change in behavior -Has the ability to reproduce -Made up of cells Life science covers - CORRECT ANSWER every organism from the smallest, single-celled bacterium to the largest animal on earth, the blue whale All organisms have similarities, - CORRECT ANSWER such as needing energy to grow, interacting with their surroundings, and producing offspring. (No matter how big or small, all of these organisms are alike in that they are composed of cells. The Cell - CORRECT ANSWER the cell is the basic functional unit of an organism, meaning that each cell has the potential to fulfill all the functions of that organism. Cells also must arise from other pre-existing cells 4 pts of a Cell - CORRECT ANSWER 1. The first part of a cell is the membrane 2. The second part of a cell is the cytoplasm 3. The third part of a cell is the nucleus 4. The fourth part consists of the many organelles (ALL CELLS HAVE FOUR DISTINCT PARTS) Cell mambrane - CORRECT ANSWER cells are surrounded by a thin covering, which separates the cell from its environment.This membrane is called the "cell membrane" (or plasma membrane) it acts as a barrier or wall. Cell membranes are semipermeable, - CORRECT ANSWER meaning that they will allow some substances to move both into and out of cells through the cell membrane. This allows the cell to take in the required nutrients and expel any waste products. Cytoplasm - CORRECT ANSWER the inside of the cell, is the semi-liquid substance in which all of the internal "organs" of the cell are dissolved. (this is where much of the biochemical activity of the cell occurs) The main component of cytoplasm is - CORRECT ANSWER WATER Nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER Cells must create DNA, the genetic material which allows a cell to replicate, & this DNA in a specific region in the cell called the nucleus. The nucleus & its DNA hold inside - CORRECT ANSWER All of the information needed to function & create another cell. Cells have "Organelles" - CORRECT ANSWER Which are structures (of which the nucleus is one) within the cytoplasm that preform certain specialized duties. The Cell Wall of a plant - CORRECT ANSWER All plants have cell walls. The cell wall gives a plant cell a more inflexible structure, preventing the cells movement & giving it more support. They're found outside the cell membrane. (plants are made up of cells, inside these cells are chloroplast, chloroplast contains chlorophyll Plants are made up of cells, inside these cells are Chloroplasts - CORRECT ANSWER Chloroplast contain chlorophyll, chlorophyll contains the green pigment, which makes the plants green, it is responsible for absorbing energy from sunlight. Energy - CORRECT ANSWER allows for simple functions like growth & reproduction, all living things require energy to live, how we get that energy depends on what we are Photosynthesis - CORRECT ANSWER is the process by which plants, algae, & some bacteria can convert the sun's energy into a chemical energy then used by the organisms to function. (Plants are the only organisms that can do such a thing) Pt 1 of the Photosynthesis Process (Four part process) - CORRECT ANSWER Plants take in ->carbon dioxide<-(CO2) from the air & water <-(H2O) from its roots Pt 2 of the Photosynthesis Process - CORRECT ANSWER The energy from the sunlight is collected by chloroplasts within the plant's leaves & is used to transform carbon dioxide & water into glucose & oxygen(CO2+H2O=glucose & oxygen) Pt 3 of the Photosynthesis Process - CORRECT ANSWER Oxygen is released into the air, which will eventually be used by most living organisms, especially animals. Pt 4 of the Photosynthesis Process - CORRECT ANSWER Glucose is either used by the plant for its life function, or stored away for future use. This storage of glucose (a form of chemical energy) is what feeds humans & animals. Cellular Respiration - CORRECT ANSWER in this process oxygen reacts to glucose to yield carbon dioxide, (water + energy) this means glucose + oxygen yields carbon dioxide, water + energy. Because of photosynthesis & cellular respiration, oxygen + carbon dioxide are balanced in the atmosphere. Key to remember* - CORRECT ANSWER All living organisms must obtain energy to stay alive. Different organisms need different sources of energy, but each is dependent on those organisms for its survival. What two things does a plant need to take up from its environment before sunlight can be used for photosynthesis? - CORRECT ANSWER water (H2O) & carbon dioxide (CO2) What does a plant "breathe out", or expel, after photosynthesis has taken place? - CORRECT ANSWER Oxygen Where does a plant get its initial energy to create the glucose it needs? - CORRECT ANSWER Sunlight Green plants are green because? - CORRECT ANSWER leaves contain green pigment that absorbs all colors except green Vertebrates - CORRECT ANSWER an animal of a large group distinguished by the possession of a backbone or spinal column, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes. Invertebrates - CORRECT ANSWER an animal lacking a backbone, such as an arthropod, mollusk, annelid, coelenterate, etc. The invertebrates constitute an artificial division of the animal kingdom, comprising 95 percent of animal species and about 30 different phyla.

The most common of these are insects, crabs, & lobsters, spiders & centipedes. The 4 characteristics of an Arthropod - CORRECT ANSWER 1. An exoskeleton 2. A brain & a system of nerves 3. A body broken up into segments 4. Jointed legs The 4 characteristics of an arthropod have allowed them to become very successful - CORRECT ANSWER The exoskeleton serves as protection. The nervous system allows them to adapt better, & the segmented body & legs allows them to move better Cold-blooded - CORRECT ANSWER An animal that cannot regulate its temperature, invertebrates are Cold-blooded animals that have to "sun" themselves to keep warm Warm-blooded - CORRECT ANSWER Can regulate their own body temperature & do not need to seek external heat sources every morning. Adaptation - CORRECT ANSWER a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. Nocturnal - CORRECT ANSWER done, occurring, or active at night. Evolution - CORRECT ANSWER Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, often resulting in the development of new species. The mechanisms of evolution include natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, mutation, migration, and genetic drift. Natural selection - CORRECT ANSWER a process resulting in the survival of those individuals from a population of animals or plants that are best adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions. The survivors tend to produce more offspring than those less well adapted, so that the characteristics of the population change over time, thus accounting for the process of evolution The 4 systems of the Human Body - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Circulatory System 2. Respiratory System 3. Nervous System 4. Digestive System The function of the Circulatory System: - CORRECT ANSWER To move the blood through the body, blood is responsible for transporting oxygen & nutrients throughout the body The 2 major organs in the Circulatory System - CORRECT ANSWER The heart & the arteries Heart - CORRECT ANSWER A muscle in the body that contracts in order to pump blood, blood is transported through "vessels" from large arteries Arteries - CORRECT ANSWER What blood passes through in order to get from the heart to the rest of the body, they're essentially a highway for your blood to travel through. ( blood flows from arteries, to capillaries, to small veins, to large veins which run throughout the body) The Respiratory Systems function - CORRECT ANSWER The bodies inhalations & exhalations; oxygen from the air is inhaled through the mouth & passes into the lungs, then it is exhaled in the form of carbon dioxide. The 2 major parts of the Respiratory System - CORRECT ANSWER Lungs & trachea Trachea - CORRECT ANSWER is the long tube that runs from the mouth into two tubes called the "Bronchi" each of the bronchi tubes branch out & enter one lung. The bronchi separate into smaller branches called - CORRECT ANSWER The bronchioles At the end of each bronchioles is - CORRECT ANSWER an alveolus The Nervous System & its function - CORRECT ANSWER to receive, process, & transmit information, & to control the body's activities The 3 major parts of the Nervous System - CORRECT ANSWER Brain, spinal cord, nerves The 3 important parts of the brain - CORRECT ANSWER cerebrum, cerebellum, & brainstem Cerebrum - CORRECT ANSWER controls functions such as, seeing, speaking, & thinking Cerebellum - CORRECT ANSWER coordinates movements & positions Brainstem - CORRECT ANSWER controls heart rate & breathing (information goes to & from the brain through nerves) Digestive System's function - CORRECT ANSWER to break down food into nutrients, so that energy can be produced & digestive waste can leave the body The 3 important parts of the Esophagus - CORRECT ANSWER stomach, small intestine, & large intestine The process of digestion - CORRECT ANSWER digestion begins in the mouth, then food is chewed & broken down by our teeth into smaller pieces, (our saliva breaks down these pieces chemically) then passes food through the esophagus, into the stomach,( once in the stomach the pieces are further broken down by enzymes & acids) from the stomach to the small intestine, (most of the nutrients are absorbed by the blood in the small intestines through capillaries in the villi) what remains in the Sm intestine goes through the Lg intestine, (the Lg intestine removes water leaving behind solid waste) solid waste then leaves through the rectum. Using math in the GED science test - CORRECT ANSWER you will be asked to make calculations, evaluate charts & data, & draw conclusions based on information Breaking up mathematical information, measures of Central Tendency - CORRECT ANSWER scientist use central tendency when evaluating charts & graphs 3 Measures of central tendency include: - CORRECT ANSWER 1.

The following excerpt was spoken by Sojourner Truth. Please use it to answer questions 6 and 7. "That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man—when I could get it—and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?" Sojourner Truth is making the case for (...) a. women's rights. b. the abolition of slavery. c. the opportunity to work. d. special treatment for women. - CORRECT ANSWER 6. Choice a is correct.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath - CORRECT ANSWER 14. Choice b is correct. John Locke's "state of perfect freedom" and the Declaration of Independence's "unalienable Rights" are similar concepts. John Locke's focus was that all men, through nature, are given this state of freedom, and the Declaration agreed that all men have rights that are not dictated by any other man. Choice a is incorrect. John Locke, while influencing the Declaration of Independence, was more focused on man as an independent person without reliance on others, while the Declaration of Independence stated that government should protect any freedoms men could want. These ideas are not similar. Choice c is incorrect. John Locke's ideas regarding political power are not fully addressed in this excerpt. These ideas may be similar, but are not the best choice. Choice d is incorrect. John Locke did not write about "the consent of the governed," and the Declaration of Independence did not mention the disposing of possessions or persons. These ideas have been reversed, so this is not the best choice. 15. The following is an excerpt from an executive order issued by a president of the United States. "That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom." Who was the author of this executive order? a. George Washington b. Abraham Lincoln c. Thomas Jefferson d. James Madison - CORRECT ANSWER 15. Choice b is correct. Lincoln is known for writing the Emancipation Proclamation, of which this is an excerpt, which freed all persons held as slaves. Choice a is incorrect. This excerpt is dated "one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three," long after Washington's death. Choice c is incorrect. This excerpt was written after Jefferson's death. Choice d is incorrect. This choice neglects the evidence of time and content. Please use the following excerpts to answer questions 16-18. The following is an excerpt from the United States Supreme Court decision of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).: Legislation is powerless to eradicate racial instincts or to abolish distinctions based upon physical differences. The following is an excerpt from the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The following is an excerpt from the United States Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education (1954): To separate [children in grade and high schools] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may af - CORRECT ANSWER 16. Choice a is correct. The Brown decision overturned the Plessy decision, thus demonstrating that the U.S. Supreme Court occasionally changes its mind. Choice b is incorrect. The Brown decision did overturn the Plessy decision, but, in doing so, it declared segregation to be unconstitutional. Choice c is incorrect. The Plessy decision held that laws could not eliminate racial instincts, but this does not make it a reasonable conclusion; indeed, Brown's authors completely disagreed. Choice d is incorrect. Both decisions were based on the Fourteenth Amendment. Please use the following excerpts to answer questions 16-18. The following is an excerpt from the United States Supreme Court decision of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).: Legislation is powerless to eradicate racial instincts or to abolish distinctions based upon physical differences.

Board of Education (1954): To separate [children in grade and high schools] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may af - CORRECT ANSWER Choice d is correct. The Fourteenth Amendment protects the rights of Americans regardless of their race, which was the main issue in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. However, the Supreme Court decided that "separate but equal" facilities offered to people of different races did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment. This viewpoint would stand as law until 1954 when the case Brown v. Board of Education essentially reversed this ruling. Choice a is incorrect. The First Amendment deals with free speech and freedom of the press, which is not necessarily relevant in this case. Choice b is incorrect. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial. This issue was not central to the arguments presented in Plessy v. Ferguson. Choice c is incorrect. The Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery. Issues of slavery were not central to the arguments presented in Plessy v. Ferguson. Please use the following excerpts to answer questions 16-18. The following is an excerpt from the United States Supreme Court decision of Plessy v.

Board of Education (1954): To separate [children in grade and high schools] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may af - CORRECT ANSWER 18. Choice d is correct. Although this was indeed a sign of the changing times in America, it did not infuence the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Choice a is incorrect. The Supreme Court's decision was, in fact, infuenced by "The Race Question," a scholarly statement published by UNESCO in 1950. Choice b is incorrect. The Supreme Court's decision was, in fact, infuenced by "An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy," a 1,500-page study of race relations published in 1944. Choice c is incorrect. The Supreme Court's decision was, in fact, infuenced by a study that found contrasts between children who attended segregated schools in Washington, D.C., and those in integrated schools in New York. 19. Which of the following can you infer from this cartoon? (A very large pig that has a money sign on its side crushing a man that has a paper in his hand labeled 'political freedom'. a. Economic freedoms are the same as political freedoms. b. The economy has no effect on political freedoms in the United States. c. Political freedoms can be hindered by the economy. d. Race remains a key factor in the economic opportunities available to Americans. - CORRECT ANSWER 19. Choice c is correct. This answer shows that the reader comprehends that the person in the cartoon cannot reach "political freedom" because he is being sat on by a piggy bank, a visual symbol of the economy. Choice a is incorrect. There is no evidence or graphic representation in the cartoon that suggests the two are the same. Choice b is incorrect. It neglects the visual representation of money, as symbolized by the piggy bank, as restricting the person from grabbing "political freedom." Choice d is incorrect. The cartoon does not emphasize race as a component that can restrict economic opportunities or political freedoms. Please use the following passage and painting to answer questions 20 and 21. The following is an excerpt from "On Indian Removal," by President Andrew Jackson (1830). "What good man would prefer a country covered with forests, and ranged by a few thousand savages to our extensive Republic, studded with cities, towns, and prosperous farms embellished with all the improvements which art can devise or industry execute, occupied by more than 12,000,000 happy people, and filled with all the blessings of liberty, civilization and religion? . . . The tribes which occupied the countries not constituting the Eastern States were annihilated or have melted away to make room for the whites. The waves of population and civilization are rolling to the westward, and we now propose to acquire the countries occupied by the red men of the South and West by a fair exchange, and, at the expense of the United States, to send them to - CORRECT ANSWER 20. Choice d is correct. By dressing this allegorical figure of American Progress in classical robes as though she were from Greek or Roman times, the painter is suggesting that the United States' displacement of native people is as important to civilization as the creation of democracy and republic in ancient times. This is propaganda. Choice a is incorrect. The painting does show this progression of transportation, but this would be seen more as illustrating the industry of the time rather than as propaganda. Choice b is incorrect. The United States did actually set aside land for displaced Indian tribes, but this is fact rather than propaganda. Choice c is incorrect. The population of the United States was actually expanding westward, but this is fact rather than propaganda. Please use the following passage and painting to answer questions 20 and 21. The following is an excerpt from "On Indian Removal," by President Andrew Jackson (1830).

The waves of population and civilization are rolling to the westward, and we now propose to acquire the countries occupied by the red men of the South and West by a fair exchange, and, at the expense of the United States, to send them to - CORRECT ANSWER 21. Choice a is correct. American Indians are considered citizens, so in today's society, forcibly removing them would be seen as an infringement on the rights of individuals. Choice b is incorrect. Although much of where American Indians have lived has become farmland, this would not be seen as a valid reason to move citizens. Choice c is incorrect. Since American Indians are considered citizens, removing them would not be a removal of foreign people. Choice d is incorrect. Although this could be seen as infringing on the rights of the state, this is not the best choice. Please use the following excerpts to answer question 22. The following excerpt is from the Majority Decision of Marbury v. Madison (1803). "It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department [the judicial branch] to say what the law is. Those who apply the rule to particular cases must, of necessity, expound and interpret that rule. If two laws conflict with each other, the Courts must decide on the operation of each. So, if a law [e.g., a statute or treaty] be in opposition to the Constitution, if both the law and the Constitution apply to a particular case, so that the Court must either decide that case conformably to the law, disregarding the Constitution, or conformably to the Constitution, disregarding the law, the Court must determine which of these conflicting rules governs the case. This is of the very essence of judicial duty. If, then, the Courts are to regard the Constitution, and the - CORRECT ANSWER 22. Choice b is correct. By looking at both excerpts, we see that the judiciary branch, prior to Marbury v. Madison, was not ruling on whether a law set into place by the legislative and executive branches fell into agreement with the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson's letter shows that he is uncomfortable with the precedent of the judiciary branch having the fnal say over the creation of laws by the legislative and the executive, which means that this was not the case previously. Choice a is incorrect. Thomas Jefferson does not support the judiciary branch maintaining the Constitution, as he uses the word "despotic" to describe what he fears it will become. Choice c is incorrect. This is only stated in the letter from Thomas Jefferson and is not referred to in the excerpt from Marbury v. Madison. Choice d is incorrect. This is only noted in the excerpt from Marbury v. Madison and is argued against within that ruling. Please use the following excerpts to answer question 23. The following excerpt is from Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book V, Chapter 2 (1776). "The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible, in proportion to their respective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state. The expense of government to the individuals of a great nation is like the expense of management to the joint tenants of a great estate, who are all obliged to contribute in proportion to their respective interests in the estate." The following excerpt is from On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, by Henry David Thoreau (1849). "When a sixth of the population of a nation which has undertaken to be the refuge of liberty are slaves, and a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army, and subjec - CORRECT ANSWER 23. Choice d is correct. Since Adam Smith notes that all men ought to contribute via taxation to the government, it seems likely that he would disagree with Henry David Thoreau's notion that not paying taxes is a good way to disagree with government activities. Choice a is incorrect. This is not something that it appears Adam Smith and Henry David Thoreau would agree on. Adam Smith notes that the government should be paid for the protections that each individual enjoys. This would suggest that Smith believes government should use those taxes for citizen protection, which might include military action. Thoreau, on the other hand, is against the use of tax money for military action, especially since he was protesting the Mexican-American war during this time. Choices b and c are incorrect. Adam Smith does not refer to either concept. 27. What is the exclusive control of the supply of a commodity called? a. market power b. price discrimination c. monopoly d. effciency - CORRECT ANSWER Choice c is correct. This is the correct word for that defnition. Choice a is incorrect. This phrase indicates how a company can raise the market price of a good or service over its marginal costs in a proftable way. Choice b is incorrect. This is a phrase used to describe the sales of identical goods and services at different prices from the same company. Choice d is incorrect. This word means how well effort or cost is used. One of the earliest political parties in the United States was the Federalist Party.

D. 5% of the population have incomes less than $7,000. - CORRECT ANSWER B The United States Economy in the 1930s and 1940s During the administrations of Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt, poverty was widespread. The Great Depression had dealt a severe blow to the economic well-being of the nation. For example, the gross national product (GNP), the total value of all goods and services produced in a year, had dropped from $103 billion in Line 5 1929 to $55 billion in 1933. Full recovery from this depression did not come until the Second World War, when United States industry went into high gear, producing war materials. To enable the Allied armies to win the war in both Europe and the Pacific, technological miracles were achieved. Employment rose as factories worked around the clock. High wages and government-controlled prices helped create a tremendous growth in family incomes. Because of the emphasis on production of heavy goods and machinery, much of the money people earned went - CORRECT ANSWER D The United States Economy in the 1930s and 1940s During the administrations of Herbert Hoover and Franklin D.

Chapter 1: Reading on the GED Test Questions with Verified Answers The questions assessing this standard are among the most straightforward reading ques... [Show More] tions you will see on the GED test . Most of these questions ask you to read a passage and pull out key elements from it . - CORRECT ANSWER The GED is measuring your ability to comprehened a text ; later it will mesure your ability analyze , interpret , and evaluate texts The GED Test will assess some or all of these skills with questions relating to this standard - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Comprehend explicit details and main ideas in text 2. Summarize details and ideas in text 3. Male Sentence level inferences about details that support main ideas 4. Infer implies main ideas in paragraphs or whole texts 5. Determine which detail(s) support(s) a main idea 6. Identify a theme , or identify which element(s) in a text support a theme 7. Make evidence based generalizations or hypothesis based on details in text , including clarifications , extensions , or application of main ideas to new situations 8. Draw conclusions or make generalizations that require synthesis of multiple main ideas in text Comprehend explicit details and main ideas in text - CORRECT ANSWER The FIRST objective of any reading assignment is to understand what is happening in the text . This can the fundamentals of the plot of a novel , the internees effect of an advertisement , or even the key parts of a setting of a play . When the GED test measures your skills in comprehending the explicit details and the main ideas in a text , it will test your ability to read and excerpt and report back precisely what is taking place How to find the main idea ? - CORRECT ANSWER In order to answer the questions , you must study the detail provided in the text , for they are the items which move you out of the superficial realm of response . Your best choice in answering all reading comprehension questions is to read carefully and deliberately to determine not only what is being said , but why , and how often . - CORRECT ANSWER It is possible a paragraph can say the word "dance" or its variation several times , but actually be about boxing Summarize details and ideas in text - CORRECT ANSWER Another important skill in reading comprehension is summarizing the key points in a text . This is a little different from simply identifying the ideas . For example , if you read a how to book on the best ways to caulk a bathtub , you need to be able to summarize the steps , not just identify that the main idea is caulking a bathtub . Summarizing these ideas and details requires you to completely understand the information presented in a text , and have the clarity of thought of succinctly explain it You must discern what is essential for what is extra . - CORRECT ANSWER The GED test raises the level of difficulty in this questions , because drag and drop questions provide less room for error . You have to make sure to identify all the correct steps NOT JUST ONE . You also have to make sure you carefully separate information that is crucial to the questions from information that is only tangential to the objective . Make a sentence level inferences about details that support the main idea - CORRECT ANSWER When you make an inference , it means you are reading a little deeper that the words stated in the text . You should consider it "reading between the lines" . For example , if a passage says that "the man had leathery hands , and paint splattered his overalls and tool belt ," one can infer the character had some sort of carpentry job , although it is not explicitly stated in the text . You can make this inference because of the way the man is described ("paint splattered") and what he is wearing ("Over all's and tool belt ") . When you make a sentence level inference about details that support main ideas in a text , you are simply reading a little deeper into the text and drawing the connection between the details and the subject When being asked to draw a conclusion , which means you cannot just state another fact , you have to reach some kind of new idea , or draw a comparison between two separate pieces of information (the details and the main idea). - CORRECT ANSWER The best way to make sure the inference you are making is supported by the text is to finish this sentence Infer implied main ideas in paragraphs or whole texts - CORRECT ANSWER As discussed in the last section , inferring an idea is much more difficult than identifying an idea because oftentimes , an inference requires you to make a leap between one piece of information and another . When you are dealing with an implied main idea , you will have to be able to do two things . 1. Identify the subject 2. Identify how the subject could be a statement about something else In literature , most authors use symbols. They use figurative language like metaphors and similes , and determining the purpose for this kind of writing is an inference skill . However , inferring that the play The Crucible (Set in Salem during the witch hunt) is actually an extended metaphor , or allegory , for the hunt for communists in America spurred on by McCarthysim during the Cold War requires that you have a bit more background knowledge , and the ability to connect parallel ideas - CORRECT ANSWER When you infer the main idea in a paragraph or a whole text , you must employ several factors in your inference : your reading comprehension , your background knowledge , and your common sense Determine which detail(s) support(s) a main idea - CORRECT ANSWER Many texts have superfluous details added to them in the name of style . It is important for you to discern which details are necessary to the central idea , and which are added for effect . To do this , you will have to determine or infer the main idea , and then distinguish which details lend support to this idea , and which simply embellish it . Identify a theme , or identify which element(s) in a text support a theme - CORRECT ANSWER There is a small difference between a theme and a subject . A theme is usually some kind of insightful statement about life in literature that pervades the text . For example "Love" is not a theme . "Love" is a subject . "Love drives us to do harmful things," is a theme . The best way to know if you are identifying a theme instead of a subject is to determine if it is a complete sentence that makes some observation you can apply elsewhere . - CORRECT ANSWER If you are analyzing Shakespeare othello , for example , "Love kills," is a completely acceptable theme . "Jealousy changes a person's character," is also and astute theme ; however "jealousy " and "manipulation" are only subjects . While these portrayals of theme may present themselves on the GED test as possible answers , always try to find the most insightful answer this is slightly more developed than one word or phrase it is an option Make evidence based generalizations or hypotheses based on details in text , including clarifications , extensions , or applications of main ideas to new situations - CORRECT ANSWER Making a hypothesis is very similar to make an inference , but this skill will require you to specifically support the reasons why you made the inference based on the textual evidence . Draw conclusions or make generalizations that require synthesis of multiple main ideas in text - CORRECT ANSWER Drawing conclusions from multiple main ideas in a work is a difficult reading skill to master, and it is the hardest skill in this standard . In order to do this , you must make inferences based on several different ideas instead of just one . [Show Less]
