Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone. There was not a uniform in the group, although a few members of the ambulance team wore ca

mouflage fatigues. The caravan crossed the Potomac River at Point of Rocks and hit Leesburg Pike just as rush hour began. The traffic became bumper to bumper, and the officers began to get frustrated. It took them two hours to reach the monkey house, contending the whole way with ill-tempered commuters. Finally the column turned into the office park, which by that time was filling up with workers. The supply van and the ambulance were driven along the side of the monkey house, up onto a lawn, and were parked behind the building, to get them out of sight. The back of the building presented a brick face, some narrow windows, and a glass door. The door was the insertion point. They parked the supply van up close to the door.
Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph? A)Withholding information from the public is routine policy.
B)Choosing a point of entry can be extremely tricky.
C)The military always takes many safety precautions.
D)Great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.

Answer:

D) Great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.

Explanation:

The way the supply van and ambulance personnel approached the monkey house support that statement: most of them were not wearing a uniform, and they did not enter through the main door but parked behind the building which “presented a brick face, some narrow windows, and a glass door.” All of this indicates that they did not want to be recognized, and instead, wanted to prevent people from seeing what was really going on. We can summarize, then, that the central idea of this paragraph is that “great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.”

how should a person study for each type of test (e.g., essay, short answer, oral, and multiple choice)
Triss [41]

Answer: To be efficient and effective with studying, you need to optimize the conditions under which you focus best; this can include both the time of day that you study, as well the environment in which you study. Pay attention when studying at different times and in different environments to figure out when and where you are the most productive, and study under the conditions that work best for you.

Many students claim to be most productive at night; however, most people are actually more focused and productive earlier in the day (i.e. morning, afternoon, and early evening). Tasks like reading a textbook or a journal article, writing a paper, or working on an assignment require a great deal of concentration, and the ability to do focused tasks tends to decline as the day goes on. Also, Be realistic when setting aside time to study (e.g., it is likely unrealistic to schedule study time after 5 hours of lectures or after an 8-hour shift at work).

Most students tend to find it easy to get distracted and to procrastinate when they study at home. Studying outside of home is often more effective.

Some students find they focus best with a bit of noise in the background, in which case a coffee shop or a group study area of the library (e.g., the 2nd floor of the Bennett library) may work best. Other students prefer total silence when studying, in which case a quiet or silent study area (e.g., the 6th floor of the Bennett Library) may be optimal.

When possible, eliminate distractions like a cell phone and/or laptop by not bringing them, turning them off, or, at least, putting them away during study time.

Avoid listening to music while you study (especially while doing readings), as it will take up some of your attention and thus make your studying less effective.
