Response and Rationale for Reading Subtest Sample Question #5

Objective: Evaluate written material. The correct answer is (b). Choice (a) would allow for a logical transition between labor in the community to rest and worship in the community. Choices (c) and (d) would both add important detail to the discussion of the passage by supplementing the material already presented. Choice (b), however, would create an abrupt and radical departure from the passage, which announces itself as a nonbiased account of Salem's early economy.
