Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions
In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often
involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A
good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up
of many small particles that are in constant motion.
A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as
yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If
observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the
predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may
have to be revised or rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and
performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare
said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called
science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a
particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation
that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible
solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the
scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and
makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and
direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions
A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects such
as temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects the
development of personality. Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationship between
birth order and personality. A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed based on it
was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it was the similar
responses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that had an effect. For
example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and do not have to deal with siblings in
the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with adults and therefore tend to
find the process of peer socialization more difficult. In contrast, later-born children have to deal with siblings
from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have stronger socialization skills.
Numerous studies since Adlers have been conducted on the effect of birth order and personality. These
studies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, second-born and/or
middle, last, and only child.
Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit similar, positive and negative
personality traits. First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various studies;
in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to be equal to
the number of second-and third-borns combined. First-borns have been found to be more responsible and
assertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions of leadership more often
than others; more first-borns have served in the U.S. Congress and as U.S. presidents than have those born
in other birth-order positions. However, studies have shown that first-borns tend to be more subject to stress
and were considered problem children more often than later-borns.
Second-born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns. They
tend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that their lower
level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas other than
those in which their older sibling or siblings excel. They tend to be more trusting, accepting, and focused on
others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher level of success
in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individual sports.
