Age around 10,000 years ago, Homo erectus made his appearance some three

hundred to seven hundred thousand years ago. By this stage (the point at which Homo
erectus made his appearance of development.

20: The answer is B. If people migrate out of one place they spread to another /
others.

21: The answer is D. These wanderers tended to travel in small groups. As a result
there was a high level of in-breeding among social circles. This is one reason for the
rapid development of distinctive genetic traits and a high incidence of genetic similarity
[they were like each other genetically speaking].

A Is not specifically mentioned. We know the wanderers travelled in small groups, which
rules out B. Clearly, their genetic similarity (among other things) was quite unique and
therefore dissimilar to animals, ruling out C.

22: The answer is B. The capacity for and use of intelligence demonstrates the
ability to think abstractly about subjects, to plan for future goals, to find new solutions,
and to produce symbolism in the form of pictures or rituals. Examples of these
capacities have been discovered in cave drawings, burial rituals, and the exploration
and colonization of hostile environments by Homo sapiens. Clearly cave drawings aren't
an example of planning goals or finding solutions, they are an example, then, of being
able to produce symbolism and think abstractly.

23: The answer is C. The capacity for and use of intelligence demonstrates [1] the
ability to think abstractly about subjects. [2] to plan for future goals [3] to find new
solutions, and [4] to produce symbolism in the form of pictures or rituals. The other
options are just distractors.

24: The answer is C. They refers to these wanderers mentioned in the previous
sentence. And this sentence tells us they rarely came across other groups, which
explains the genetic similarity alluded to in the next sentence.

25: The answers are A, C, and D.

A: The use of tools is mentioned frequently.

B: This is not stated anywhere.

C: Refer to the four characteristics of intelligence outlined in Q23.

D: in this respect, it was this rapid development of genetic traits that allowed Homo
sapiens to adapt more quickly to its environment.

E: Cave paintings were created as forms of symbolism not forany record-keeping
purpose that we are told of.

F: Clearly contradicted by D.

PASSAGE 3

26: The answer is D. A maze of possible components is a complex system of

components or a web of components.

27: The answer is B. There is speculation as to whether a form of memory monitor

exists because we are not sure if one exists there Is a question over whether or not one
exists.

28: The answer is D. a form of memory monitor that controls and organizes overall
memory and also interprets the data from one form to another for various uses. For data
read information it would organize and control information.

29: The answer is C. Paragraphs 2: There is still some speculation to the purpose of
sensory information, but it at least is useful as it helps us to retain our orientation to a
place or object. Motion pictures benefit from our sensory information storage capacity
because it allows us to view a film as a single continuous set of motions. In reality, film
is shot at sixteen separate frames per second. Our ability to process the individual
frames into a single continuous action sequence is apparently involuntarily produced.
We have, in other words, the ability to process disconnected images as movement
thanks to our sensory information storage capacity. A is wrong as short-term memory is
a separate function. B is wrong because it does not recall images converted to
memories, this is the function of long-term memory. D Is a distractor several; tenths of
a second is very different to 7 to 10 seconds.
