73.
This question asks you to identify the primary concern of the passage. The best answer is C.
According to the first paragraph, the passage is about two different assessments of Florence
Nightingale’s career. The first paragraph summarizes one of these assessment; the second
paragraph presents a contrasting account of Nightingale’s career that contradicts the central point
of the first account.
Choice A is incorrect. Although the passage discusses various aspects of Florence Nightingale’s
involvement in the field of nursing, it does not mention any innovations that she introduced to that
field. Choice B is not correct because the passage does not discuss approaches to the writing of
historical biography. Choice D is also incorrect. Although the passage refers to the specific
problems of military medicine during the Crimean War (lines 10-11) and to the poort living
conditions of British soldiers after the war (lines 22-23), the passage does not discuss the broader,
more general issue of the quality of health care in nineteenth-century England. And choice E is not
the answer because the passage does not mention the effects of the Crimean War on developments
in health care.
74.
This question asks you to identify a contribution that the editors of Nightingale’s letters attribute
to her.
The best answer is E. In the second paragraph, several of Nightingale’s post-war accomplishments
that are highlighted by the editors of her letters are mentioned. In lines 22-27, her contribution to
the creation of an organization for monitoring the peacetime living conditions of British soldiers is
mentioned as one of these.
Choice A is not correct. In lines 22-25 the editors of Nightingale’s letters cite the relatively high
325
death rate of British soldiers after the Crimean War, but they do not mention their survival rate
during the war. Choice B is incorrect, because the passage does not provide any information about
the curriculum of the nurses’ training hospital that Nightingale founded. Choice C is also not the
correct answer. The passage does not mention women doctors, only women nurses. And choice D
is incorrect because there is no indication in the passage that the nurse’s training hospital that
Nightingale founded was at a university or that it was the first of its kind.
75.
To answer this question, you must use information contained in the passage to infer something
about Nightingale’s relationship with the British public of her day.
The best answer is A. Line 5 refers to Nightingale’s “heroic reputation”; line 14 refers to
“nightingale’s place in the national pantheon”; and lines 25-28 discuss her persuasiveness with the
British government and her fund-raising successes. From this information it can be inferred that
Nightingagle was highly respected, as evidenced by both popular and governmental support for
her projects.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect for the same reason: each one refers to an element of social or
governmental opposition or resistance to Nightingale’s ideas, none of which is mentioned or
suggested by the passage. Choice E is also incorrect. The information in the passage contradicts
the notion that Nightingale was “quickly forgotten.” To the contrary, the passage discusses the
“famous British nurse Florence Nightingale” (line 2-3), her “heroic reputation” (line 5), and her
“place in the national pantheon” (line 14), as well as her “eminent place among the ranks of social
pioneers” (lines 43-44).
76.
The question asks you to draw a conclusion about sanitary conditions in Britain after the Crimean
War that is suggested, rather than stated expressly, in the passage.
The best answer is D. In the second paragraph Nightingale’s efforts to reform sanitary conditions
in Britain are illustrated by her response to the death rate among enlisted men in British barracks,
which is described as unusually high relative to that of neighboring civilian populations. From this
it can be inferred that sanitary conditions in the barracks were worse than in these civilian
populations.
Choices A, B and C are incorrect: in each, a comparison is made between sanitary conditions in
post-war Britain and sanitary conditions elsewhere or at other times. However, because the
passage provides no basis on which to make any of these comparisons, all three of these choices
are incorrect. The passage does not mention sanitary conditions “in other parts of the world,” as in
Choice A; “before the war,” as in choice B; or in “rural areas” as compared with “urban centers”,
as in choice C. Choice E is also incorrect, because the passage provides no information about he
general state of sanitary conditions “throughout England”.
77.
This question asks you to select a statement about the two contrasting accounts of Nightingale’s
importance with which the author of the passage would be most likely to agree.
The best answer is C. In the last paragraph, the author concedes that “Nightingale may not have
achieved all of her goals during the Crimean War.” This is consistent with Summers’ view that
Nighingale’s importance during the war has been exaggerated (lines 5-7), but the author of the
passage nonetheless describes Nightingale as a great social pioneer because of her vision and
326
achievements. These achievements, which the second paragraph states occurred primarily after the
Crimean War, apparently did not influence Summers’ interpretation of Nightingale’s importance.
Given the author’s favorable assessment of Nightingale’s reputation, it is likely that the author
would agree that Summers’ interpretation ignores this important evidence.
Choice A is not the correct answer. Although, in lines 40-42, the author concedes that Summers
may be correct in her assessment of Nighingale’s wartime achievements, nothing is said in the
passage about Summers’ discussion, if any, of Nightingale’s postwar influence or activities.
Choice B is also incorrect. In lines 33-35, the author cites the editors’ collection of Nightingale’s
letters as evidence of Nightingale’s “brilliance and creativity.” In addition, in light of the author’s
statement that Nightingale has earned “an eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers”
(lines 43-44), there is no reason to think the author would agree that the editors exaggerated
Nightingale’s influence on later generations.
Choice D is not the correct answer. In the last paragraph of the passage, the author refers to
Nightingale’s letters as evidence of her “brilliance and creativity” (lines 33-35), and as the basis
for a conlusion that Nightingale has earned “an eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers”
(lines 43-44). It is therefore highly unlikely that the author believes that the editors of these letters
have “mistakenly propagated” outdated notions or impeded a balanced assessment of
Nightingale’s role. Choice E is also incorrect. In the last paragraph of the passage, the author
states that “the evidence of Nightingale’s letters supports continued respect for Nightingale’
brilliance and creativity.” Summers, on the other hand, seeks in her book to “debunk”
Nightingale’s “heroic reputation” (lines 3-5). Rather than supporting Summers’ conclusions about
Nightingale, the evidence of Nightingale’s letters contradicts them.
78.
The best answer is A. In the last paragraph of the passage, the author presents two examples of
Nightingale’s “brilliance and creativity.” In the first of these, the author compares Nightingale to
“a modern educator” for counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage children’s powers of
observation. The fact that the author believes that this is evidence of Nightingale’s creativity
suggests that it was unusual at that time to emphasize developing children’s ability to observe.
Choice B is not the correct answer. Nightingale’s efforts to improve conditions in British military
barracks are not cited as evidence of her creativity, nor is it suggested that Nightingale’s
counseling a village schoolmaster, not enlisting schoolmasters’ help (lines 35-36); moreover,
nothing in the passage suggests that educators had failed to enlist such help prior to the incident
the author describes. Choice D is incorrect: although the author cites Nightingale’s contributions
to the care of the needy (lines 37-40), the passage does not suggest that no organized help for the
needy existed before Nightingale began her work. And choice E is incorrect, because although
Nightingale’s cost-accounting system is presented in the passage as having made a lasting
contribution to the British Army’s medical services, the passage never suggests that before
Nightingale the Army lacked a cost-accounting system.
79.
This question asks you to identify the author’s primary concern in the last paragraph of the
passage.
The best answer is D. In the last paragraph, the author cites examples of Nightingale’s
achievements to support the author’s conclusion that Nightingale’s achievements to support the
327
author’s conclusion that Nightingale is worthy of respect and has earned “an eminent place among
the ranks of social pioneers” (lines 43-44).
Choice A is incorrect. The third paragraph does not summarize the arguments presented in the first
two paragraphs. Choice B is also not the correct answer: in the third paragraph, the author
expresses essential agreement with the positive view of Nighingale’s career described in the
second paragraph. Choice C is incorrect because in the last paragraph the author does not analyze
the weakness of any evidence cited elsewhere in the passage. And choice E is not the correct
answer because the author does not correct any factual errors in the two works under review.
80.
This question asks you to identify the primary focus of the passage.
The best answer is B. The author describes the new theoretical model in the first paragraph; in the
final paragraph the author states that the data obtained from actual observations, which are
discussed in the second and third paragraphs, is consistent with the new theoretical model.
Choice A is not correct; the computer model confirmed the astronomers’ hypothesis that meteor
streams broaden with time, and although the model yielded an unexpected result, the passage does
not contrast the predictions yielded by competing theories. Choice C and D are not correct because
the passage makes no reference to further areas for resea
