questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage (This passage was written prior to 1950.) (3) (10) (15)
We now know that what constitutes practically all of matter is empty space; relatively enormous voids in which revolve with lightning velocity infinitesimal particles so utterly small that they
have never been seen or photographed The exist- ence of these particles has been demonstrated by
mathematical physicists and their operations deter-
mined by ingenious laboratory experiments It was not until 1911 that experiments by Sir Ernest Ruth- erford revealed the architecture of the mysterious
atom Moseley, Bohr, Fermi, Millikan, Compton,
Urey, and others have also worked on the problem Matter is composed of molecules whose average diameter is about 1/125 millionth of an inch Mole- cules are composed of atoms so small that about 5
million could be placed in a row on the period at the end of this sentence Long thought to be the
ultimate, indivisible constituent of matter, the atom
has been found to consist roughly of a proton, the (20) E 20 (5) (10) (15) Model Test4 597 positive electrical element in the atomic nucleus,
surrounded by electrons, the negative electric ele- ments swirling about the proton
17 The primary purpose of the passage is to
(A) honor the pioneering efforts of Sir Ernest
Rutherford and his followers
(B) refute the existence of submicroscopic particles
(C) illustrate how scientists measure molecular diameter (D) summarize the then current findings on the composition of matter (E) analyze evidence against one theory of atomic structure
According to the passage, all of the following are
true of the center of the atom EXCEPT that it
(A) has not yet been seen by the naked eye
(B) contains elements that are positively charged (C) is very little larger than a molecule
(D) follows experimentally determinable processes
(E) is smaller than 1/125 millionth of an inch
By referring to the period at the end of the sentence
(lines 16-17), the author intends to point up the atom’s (A) density (B) mystery (C) velocity (D) consistency (E) minuteness
Which of the following relationships most closely
parallels the relationship between the proton and the
electrons described in the passage? (A) A hawk to its prey
(B) A blueprint to a framework
(C) A planet to its satellites
(D) A magnet to iron filings
(E) A compound to its elements
No one can be a great thinker who does not real-
ize that as a thinker it is her first duty to follow her
intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead Truth
gains more even by the errors of one who, with due
study and preparation, thinks for herself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them
because they do not suffer themselves to think Not
that it is solely, or chiefly, to form great thinkers that freedom of thinking is required On the con- trary, it is as much or even more indispensable to
enable average human beings to attain the mental
stature which they are capable of There have been, and may again be, great individual thinkers in a
general atmosphere of mental slavery But there
never has been, nor ever will be, in that atmos-
phere an intellectually active people Where any people has made a temporary approach to such a
character, it has been because the dread of hetero-

(20) there is a tacit convention that principles are not to be disputed; where the discussion of the greatest
questions which can occupy humanity is consid-
ered to be closed, we cannot hope to find that gen-
erally high scale of mental activity which has made (25) some periods of history so remarkable Never when
controversy avoided the subjects which are large and important enough to kindle enthusiasm was the
mind of a people stirred up from its foundations
and the impulse given which raised even persons of (30) the most ordinary intellect to something of the
dignity of thinking beings
She who knows only her own side of the case knows little of that Her reasons may be good, and
no one may have been able to refute them But if
(35) she is equally unable to refute the reasons of the
opposite side; if she does not so much as know
what they are, she has no ground for preferring
either opinion The rational position for her would be suspension of judgment, and unless she contents
(40) herself with that, she is either led by authority, or
adopts, like the generality of the world, the side to
which she feels the most inclination Nor is it enough that she should hear the arguments of adversaries from her own teachers, presented as
(45) they state them, and accompanied by what they
offer as refutations That is not the way to do jus- tice to the arguments, or bring them into real con- tact with her own mind She must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them; who
(50) defend them in earnest, and do their very utmost
for them She must know them in their most plausi-
ble and persuasive form: she must feel the whole
force of the difficulty which the true view of the
subject has to encounter and dispose of; else she
(55) will never really possess herself of the portion of
truth which meets and removes that difficulty
Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called edu-
cated persons are in this condition; even of those
who can argue fluently for their opinions Their (60) conclusion may be true, but it might be false for
anything they know: they have never thrown them- selves into the mental position of those who think differently from them and considered what such
persons may have to say; and consequently they do
(65) not, in any proper sense of the word, know the
doctrines which they themselves profess They do not know those parts of the doctrine which explain and justify the remainder; the considerations
which show that a fact which seemingly conflicts
(70) with another is reconcilable with it, or that, of two
apparently strong reasons, one and not the other ought to be preferred 21 According to the author, it is always advisable to
(A) have opinions which cannot be refuted
(B) adopt the point of view to which one feels the
most inclination
(C) be acquainted with the arguments favoring the
point of view with which one disagrees
(D) suspend heterodox speculation in favor of doc- trinnaire approaches (E) ignore the accepted opinions of the vast majority 22 23 24 27
According to the author, in a great period such as the
Renaissance we may expect to find (A) acceptance of truth
(B) controversy over principles
(C) inordinate enthusiasm
(D) adread of heterodox speculation
(E) a suspension of judgment
According to the author, which of the following Statements is true?
(A) Most educated people study both sides of a question
(B) Heterodox speculation will lead to many unnec- essary errors of thinking
(C) In debatable issues, we should rely on the opi-
njons of the experts for guidance
(D) It is wise to hear both sides of a debatable issue
from one’s teachers
(E) The majority of those who argue eloquently truly know only one side of an issue
As it is used in line 7 of the passage, the word “suf- fer” most nearly means (A) endure (B) undergo (C) permit (D) support (E) force
It can be inferred from the passage that a person who knows only her own side of an issue is regarded by the author as (A) timorous (B) opinionated (C) heterodox (D) educated (E) rational
According to the author, the person who holds ortho- dox beliefs without examination may be described in all of the following ways EXCEPT as
(A) enslaved by tradition (B) less than fully rational

The use of but indicates that the dean’s attempt to keep control failed It did so because it was
frustrated by the board of trustees None of the
other possible actions of the board of trustees would necessarily have caused the dean’s
attempt to fail
The dispute goes beyond or transcends mere
ideas, for it influences the financial and profes-
sional futures of the disputants
Note the use of mere to downplay the impor-
tance of ideas to the essence of the dispute The key phrase here 1s “move on.” If editors have to travel from firm to firm to succeed in their field, then publishing can be classified as an itinerant profession, a profession marked by
traveling

spending money He certainly does not think of
them as Jouts (clumsy oafs), prigs (self-right-

The author first establishes the general picture of unoriginal, passive Mary Shelley and then goes about demolishing it by bringing out just how innovative Shelley was in departing from the traditional model of the overreacher Thus, the author’s purpose is to rehabilitate Shelley’s literary reputation
Choice A 1s incorrect Others have discounted Shelley’s contribution; this author esteems it Choice B is incorrect The author mentions, but does not trace, Shelley’s familiarity with
the then current scientific and literary
revolution
Choice D is incorrect While the author deals with this question, she does so as part of her general attempt to reevaluate Shelley
Choice E is incorrect It is unsupported by the passage
Immediately before quoting Praz, the author states that the general view of Shelley depicts her as “a transparent medium through which
passed the ideas of those around her.” The quo- tation from Praz provides an excellent example
of this particular point of view
To answer this question correctly, you do not
need to reread the passage in its entirety
Quickly scan the passage for the name Praz; reread only the context in which it appears The opening sentence points out that Shelley
herself acknowledged the influence of her
unplanned immersion in the scientific and liter-
ary revolutions of her time Clearly, the author
of the passage concedes this as true of Shelley The concluding paragraph distinguishes Fran- kenstein from the other overreachers in his
desire not to extend his own life but to impart
life to another (by creating his monster) Thus,
his purpose is atypical of the traditional overreacher
To say that someone parts from the traditional
figure of the overreacher Is to say that he differs from it Thus, to answer this question quickly,
scan the passage looking for overreacher and different (or their synonyms)
Choice C is correct The opening sentence
states that ethology and behaviorist psychology (two differing theories) illustrate the distinction between learning and instinct (behavioral proc-
esses) The discussion of these two theories
that follows explains the behavioral processes Choice A is incorrect The passage does not suggest that one behavioral theory is more effective than another
Choice B is incorrect The passage sums up
current theories; it does not propose a new one
in their place
Choice D is incorrect The passage presents
Pavlov’s arguments in the course of explaining behaviorist psychology; it does not dispute them 22 23 24 25 A E Model Test4 603
Choice E is incorrect The passage is con-
cerned with learned behavior as well as instinc- tive or innate behavior
Choice B is correct In lines 13-16, the author
states that Lorenz and Tinbergen were, with
Frisch, the founders of ethology (defined in the passage as the study of instinct)
Choice A is incorrect Only Lorenz and Tin- bergen are cited for their work with the egg- rolling response in geese; nothing in the pas-
sage suggests that Frisch worked with egg- rolling
Choice C is incorrect It is unsupported by the
passage
Choice D is incorrect Behaviorists, not etholo- gists, are cited as favoring strictly controlled
conditions (lines 42- 44)
Choice E is incorrect Nothing in the passage suggests the ethologists have invalidated the
behaviorists’ approach
Choice A is correct What is remarkable about the goose’s response is that “‘at first glance [it]
might seem to be a thoughtful solution to a
problem.” This suggests that the appearance of
purpose and intelligence 1s what makes the act remarkable or noteworthy
Choice B is incorrect This is an aspect of the goose’s response; it is not what makes the
goose’s response noteworthy It is not remarka-
ble for an egg-rolling response to be triggered by an egg
Choice C is incorrect The egg-rolling
response supports ethological theories; it does not refute or disprove them
Choice D is incorrect This is an aspect of the goose’s response, not what makes the goose’s
response noteworthy
Choice E is incorrect It is both inaccurate fac- tually (the response lasts longer than four
weeks) and not an aspect of the goose’s response that would be noteworthy
Choice E is correct You can arrive at it by the process of elimination
Statement I is true Behaviorists such as Pavlov
worked with the unconditioned responses of animals Therefore, you can eliminate Choices B and C
Statement II is untrue Imprinting is a term cur- rent among ethologists, not behaviorists (lines
36-40) Therefore, you can eliminate Choice D
Statement III is true Behaviorists assume ani-
mals act in order to obtain rewards or avoid
punishments (shun negative stimuli) There-
fore, you can eliminate Choice A
Only Choice E is left It is the correct answer The author does not settle any arguments; he
merely presents differing theories without attempting to resolve their differences

The concluding sentence of the opening para-
graph mentions factors that produced the crop
of black writers who made up the Harlem Ren-
aissance The subsequent paragraph continues the discussion of these social and political
factors
Choice A is incorrect Although the opening
sentence indicates that the willingness of black writers to portray their own lives was a contrib-
uting factor to the Harlem Renaissance, the
next sentence makes it clear that this willing- ness was only part of what was going on
Choice B is incorrect The author is concerned with these writers as part of an American liter-
ary movement, not a worldwide crusade
Choice C is incorrect The author cites exam- ples of specific injustices in passing
Choice E is incorrect It is unsupported by the passage
The author’s use of such terms as “nobility of expression” and “masters of recent American
literature” makes it clear his attitude is one of admiration
The fact that the writers were more involved
with fighting problems in the system than with attacking the system itself suggests that funda- mentally they were not opposed to the demo-

In lines 8-10, the author mentions the grow-
ing interest in social and economic problems
among the writers of the Harlem Renaissance
They used poetry, prose, and song to cry out
against social and economic wrongs Thus,
they transformed their growing social and
political interest into art
Choice A is incorrect The author distrusts the
“foreign ideologies” (lines 26-27) with their
commitment to international solidarity
Choice B is incorrect The author states that the writers wished to improve American culture
Choices D and E are incorrect Neither is
implied by the author
Both the author’s reference to historical inter-
pretations of the Negro writer’s role (lines 52-
54) and the author’s evident concern to distin-
guish Negro writers from those who
“embraced” socialist and communist propa-
ganda (lines 24-28) suggest he is a historian interested in presenting these writers as loyal Americans
Choice B is incorrect The author touches on literature only in relationship to historical
events
Choices C, D and E are incorrect There is
nothing to suggest any of these interpretations in the passage
The author’s point is that the writers essentially
ignored socialist and communist propaganda This is apparently contradicted by the Messen- ger quote asserting that the New Negro (and
thus the new black writer) was produced by the same forces that produced socialism and com- munism The author gives qualified assent to that assertion (“Such forces may have produced the New Negro’)
The passage cites the battles for better working
conditions, desegregation, and social and polit- ical equality, among others
Choice A is unanswerable on the basis of the
passage The passage mentions an “improve-
ment in the capacity for expression” in the
period, but cites no factors leading to this sty- istic improvement
Choice B is unanswerable on the basis of the
passage It mentions no specific names
Choice C is unanswerable on the basis of the
passage The passage states the writers did not “embrace the several foreign ideologies that
sought to sink their roots” in America How-
ever, it nowhere suggests that the writers were in rebellion against these foreign ideologies Choice D is unanswerable on the basis of the passage No such information is supplied
The author takes the reader through Wegener’s reasoning step by step, describing what led
Wegener to reach his conclusions 25 C 26 A 27 D 28 A 29 E 30 D 31 C 32 E 33 C 34 E
The author both notes that Wegener’s theory is
revolutionary and indicates that it defies our conventional notions of the rigidity and immo- bility of the continents At the same time, he
presents Wegener’s reasoning fully and objec-
tively, neither mocking him nor adulating him
Thus, the author displays a judicious attitude, a
level-headed, academically respectable approach to a then controversial theory
Since the existence of the correspondences
between the various coastal contours was used by Wegener as a basis for formulating his the-
ory of continental drift, it can be inferred that the correspondences provide evidence for the theory
Choice B is incorrect The passage does not indicate that Pangea’s existence has been
proved
Choice C is incorrect It 1s the relative heavi-
ness of sima, not the level or depth of sima,
that suggested the possibility of the lighter con- tinents drifting
Choice D is incorrect Mobility rather than immobility would provide evidence for conti-
nental drift
Choice E is incorrect The continents are
lighter than the underlying sima
Choice D is answerable on the basis of the pas- sage The next-to-the-last sentence of the sec- ond paragraph states that the Americas
“apparently drifted toward the west.”

The argument states that gun control laws
reduce violent crime; the evidence is a drop in
armed robberies in one city This involves
unwarranted generalizations (A, C), a failure to consider alternative explanations (B), and a
possible failure to consider contrary evidence
(E) D, however, raises an objection to gun
control laws unrelated to either the validity of the evidence or the validity of the conclusion in the argument
Option I partly answers the objection given in
choice B above; this makes it appear more
likely that the law directly caused the drop in
armed robberies Option IT strengthens the
argument in a somewhat more general way; if
this statement is true, those violent crimes
committed with a gun will be more strongly
deterred by the additional punishment man-
dated for violation of the gun control law
Option III would strengthen the argument on!/y if an additional assumption were made, that gun control laws make gun crimes less likely
Option I weakens the argument by suggesting an alternative explanation for the drop in the
crime rate Option IT has nothing to do with the
crime rate Option III does not, in itself, sug- gest that the gun control law is an ineffective
deterrent
You might first examine the grid and circle the
words which seem to violate one or more rules They are: death {violates rules (3) and (4), as
well as (5), because it is not an adjective]; hot-
ter [violates rule (5), since all other words in column IV are either nouns or verbs; violates
rule (4) unless fester is changed]; fester [vio-
lates rule (3); violates rule (4) unless hotter is
changed — but if fester is changed to satisfy
rule (3), it will no longer violate rule (4), may
violate rule (5), depending on whether dam and
edge are read as nouns or verbs]; greed [may violate rule (5), depending, again, on dam and edge]; gradual [violates rule (5)] Now you
should be able to answer the questions dealing only with the trouble spots in the grid
Death must be changed to a four-letter word,
according to rule (3); this will also bring it into conformity with rule (4); and the new word

apply to columns Rule (2) is satisfied by all
columns; rules (4) and (5) only by columns |
and II
Rules (1) and (2) are not violated by any row or column; the others are (see above)
This is tricky Death and gradual must be
changed (deaf and glitter will do) Hotter must
be changed to the right part of speech—but
what is that? If dam and edge are verbs, hotter
can become hanker, but greed must become a
verb (groan), while fester must become a
seven-letter verb (flicker) This is a total of five
changes But if dam and edge are nouns, hotter
can be a noun (heater), fester can become a
seven-letter noun (fai/ure), and greed can remain unchanged This is a total of four changes Of course, you are not required to
supply words which will fit the rules; the exam-
ples we’ve given are simply to clarify the puz-
zle for you
The various statements result in two lists of

because the total number of works is specified This also becomes important in the last ques-

The dots indicate that we don’t know how many works intervene The other statements
yield:

The three dashes indicate that a precise number of works intervene Within a limit of ten works
in all, these two patterns can be put together in
only one way:

four that intervene

would have: C G—E H—A DB [IF a total of 11 (I) Inserting I and F into the blanks after C,
we would have: G DB CI FE H—A—.,a
total of 11 (remember that Antes can’t end the

follow, for a total of 12
A diagram showing which events may lead to which will help you here We have used broken
and dotted lines with B, C,and the events
which follow from them in order to distinguish which combinations lead to which results Your
diagram need not be this elaborate (or neat);
you are the only person who must be able to read it
D results from A, B, C, or W E results from B, C, or W; F from W or X; MorN from E +
F Your only problem might have come if you
failed to notice the stipulation of immediately
preceding events—so you can’t count C or W
among the causes of M in this question
A results in D only; but D may cause another
event only if it is caused by B or C, so no sub- sequent event follows after the AD sequence
B, C, and W all have more than one immediate
result; X has only one, F, but F caused by X
may cause H
BDH, BEH, CDH, CEH, WFH, and XFH are
the combinations that cause H Notice that H
may not result from any of the immediately

This can be deduced from the fact that the 5 D
author believes that a constitutional amendment will succeed where lawsuits and local statutes have failed

failed to address adequately: given the fact that
job discrimination by gender is a real problem, 6 C
does it necessarily follow that only a constitu- tional amendment can solve the problem?
The fact that some employers do not discrimi-
nate against women does not undermine the

that no problem of discrimination exists Section 6 8-12 Questions 1-4 1 2 D D

contain any They must be A’s, C’s, or E’s
because these groups define the rest of the Q’s Choice A can be seen to be wrong from the
diagram Choices B, C, and D are all possible,
but not necessarily true
B’s, C’s, and E’s define all the Q’s Choices A
and B are possible, but not necessarily true
Choice C would fit an F that was within the A/
C overlap Choice E seems false only if you are hypnotized by the F we have drawn in the A
circle, which is also a B Remember that F is
only one possibility
E’s are defined as not B or C, so I is definitely
true III is true because no D is an A II cannot
be known; the fact that C’s appear both outside
the B’s and inside the A’s does not mean that
there are any in the non-A part of B, where our broken line shows them
The question does not say P is a Q, so choice A is out Choice B is only a possibility—P could be in the non-B portion of the D circle
as drawn Choice C is correct—E and C together define the non-B portions of Q
(remember that A’s are B’s) Choice D fails to
account for the fact that P may be outside Q
altogether If not a B, P cannot be an A (choice E) 17-22 F Educ 17 18 19 20 21 22 Min C Model Test4 613

Remember the rules about rank The top five
leaders are Dorner, Eckland, Civili, Brenner, and Grell
We don’t know whether Brenner or Arning is
Minister of Social Welfare If Brenner, he out-
ranks the Minister of Defense, who (by elimi-
nation) is Arning If Arming, he is outranked
by the Minister of Mining, Grell Thus, either I
or II may be true Both together (C) is
impossible
The extreme left-hand seat is the lowest in rank
According to the question, Minister of Educa- tion Fentz will exchange positions with Minis-
ter of Agriculture Eckland As a result, Fentz
will move up from seventh to second in the
leadership ranking Choice E would be correct if the directions mentioned were reversed
Eckland, previously second in rank, becomes
fourth; Civili, previously third, becomes sec- ond; and Brenner, previously fourth, becomes
third The positions of the Ministers of

Lillian’s argument is flawed because she fails
to consider all the possible factors that could explain her longevity; B points this out
Choices A and C do not weaken Lillian’s argu- ment, because they do not prove that tobacco
and whiskey have bad effects in all cases
(choice E may even be considered an ad homi- nem argument!) Choice C doesn’t directly
answer Lillian, because it proves only that other factors may explain other centenari-
ans’survival Choice D does not get to the flaw in Lillian’s reasoning—and besides, she may have had medical advice
The logical structure of the argument is: If P,
then Q; Q, therefore P This is fallacious rea-
soning, and we’re asked to find the same falla-
cious reasoning in one of the choices Choice B
commits exactly the same error Choice A says:
If P, then Q; P, therefore Q (which is valid) Choice E says: If P, then Q; Not Q, therefore not P (also valid) Neither of these structures
matches that of the original argument Neither
choice C nor choice D can be symbolized using just two letters; thus neither can match the
original
Choice B states the hidden assumption on which the original, fallacious argument was
based If it were true, the original conclusion
(“her theory must be correct”) would be valid Section 7 l 2 3 E C E

(Defining Characteristic) In the opening and closing sentences of the
passage, the author sums up what “‘we now know” and informs the reader what “thas been found” about the composition of matter (what
constitutes matter)
The passage states that molecules are made of
atoms; logically, therefore, an atom is smaller,
not larger, than the molecule to which it
belongs
Choice A is incorrect Line5 states atoms “have never been seen or photographed.”
Choice B is incorrect Lines 19-20 mention the presence of positive electric elements
Choice D is incorrect Lines 5-8 note the
ingenious laboratory experiments that deter-
mine the atom’s operations or processes
Choice E is incorrect Lines 13-14 mention
the average diameter of a molecule is 1/125 millionth of an inch Atoms are smaller yet
The comparison emphasizes the smallness or
minuteness of atoms
The satellites circle the planet The electrons
swirl around the proton As depicted, the rela-
tionships are comparable
Choice A is incorrect A hawk swoops down
upon its prey The proton does not swoop down upon the electrons
Choice B is incorrect A blueprint is an outline or plan A framework is a skeletal structure,
possibly constructed in accordance with a blue- print The relationships are not comparable
Choice D is incorrect Iron filings are drawn or attracted to a magnet Electrons swirl around a
proton
Choice E is incorrect A compound is made up of elements A proton is not made up of electrons 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Model Test4 615
In the second paragraph, the author emphasizes
the need for being able to refute the arguments
of the opponents of the side of an issue which an individual supports
In the next-to-the-last sentence of the first para- graph we are told that when principles cannot
be disputed, a period of history cannot achieve the level of brilliance which has made some
periods of history so noteworthy
The second paragraph states that “ninety-nine in a hundred” of so-called educated people do
not have a full sense of the force of the argu-
ments that favor their opponents’ side
The opening sentence states that it is a duty to
follow one’s intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead Those who do not do so are not suf- fering or permitting themselves to think
The third sentence of the second paragraph
states that the kind of person described in this question “has no ground for preferring either opinion.” If she chooses either side, she is act-
ing out of bias or prejudice, and so is opinionated
A person who holds orthodox ideas without subjecting them to examination cannot be
determined on controversy (bent on getting into
an argument), for her ideas will not be in con-
flict with those of a majority of her
contemporaries
If it is the suspension of the dread of heterodox
speculation that characterizes such periods of intellectual achievement, then such periods
must be characterized by unorthodox thought and reflection

The notion of a tranquil abyss had been so generally held that many investigators were initially reluctant to
accept the evidence for strong currents and storms in the
deep sea The first argument for the existence of such currents came from theory Cold water is denser than
warm water, and models of ocean circulation showed
that the sinking of cold water near the poles should gen-
erate strong, deep and steady currents flowing toward the Equator Subsequent observations not only con- firmed the presence of the deep currents but also dis-
closed the existence of eddies on the western side of
ocean basins that can be some 300 times as energetic as
the mean current Photographs of the sea floor underly- ing the deep currents also revealed extensive graded
beds indicative of the active transport of sediment The
final evidence for dynamic activity at great depths came
from direct measurements of currents and sediments in
the North Atlantic carried out in the HEBBLE program
Before we describe the HEBBLE findings in some
detail let us briefly review the sources and sinks of deep- sea sediments and the forces that activate the global pat- terns of ocean circulation The sediments that end up on
the ocean floor are of two main types One component is
the detritus whose source is the weathering of rocks on
continents and islands This detritus, together with decay-
ing vegetable matter from land plants, is carried by rivers
to the edge of the continent and out onto the continental
shelf, where it is picked up by marine currents Once the detritus reaches the edge of the shelf it is carried to the
base of the continental rise by gravitational processes A significant amount of terrestrial material is also blown out to sea in subtropical regions by strong desert winds
Every year some 15 billion tons of continental material reaches the outlets of streams and rivers Most of it is
trapped there or on the continental shelves; only a few
billion tons escapes into the deep sea
The second major component arriving at the sea floor consists of the shells and skeletons of dead microscopic
organisms that flourish and die in the sunlit waters of the top 100 meters of the world’s oceans Such biologi-
cal material contributes to the total inventory at the bot- tom about three billion tons per year Rates of accumu- lation are governed by rates of biological productivity,
which are controlled in part by surface currents Where
surface currents meet they are said to converge, and where they part they are said to diverge Zones of
divergence of major water masses allow nutrient-rich
deeper water to “outcrop” at the sunlit zone where pho-
tosynthesis and the resulting fixation of organic carbon
take place Such belts of high productivity and high rates of accumulation are normally around the major
oceanic fronts (such as the region around the Antarctic)
and along the edges of major currents (such as the Gulf Stream off New England and the Kuroshio currents off
Japan) Nutrient-rich water also outcrops in a zone

Unlike the carefully weighted and planned composi-
tions of Dante, Goethe’s writings have always the sense
of immediacy and enthusiasm He was a constant exper-
imenter with life, with ideas, and with forms of writing
For the same reason, his works seldom have the qualities of finish or formal beauty which distinguish the master-
pieces of Dante and Virgil He came to love the beauties
of classicism but these were never an essential part of his make-up Instead, the urgency of the moment, the spirit of the thing, guided his pen As a result, nearly all his
works have serious flaws of structure, of inconsisten-
cies, of excesses and redundancies and extraneities
In the large sense, Goethe represents the fullest devel- opment of the romanticist It has been argued that he
should not be so designated because he so clearly
matured and outgrew the kind of romanticism exhibited
by Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats Shelley and Keats
died young; Wordsworth lived narrowly and abandoned his early attitudes In contrast, Goethe lived abundantly
and developed his faith in the spirit, his understanding of
nature and human nature, and his reliance on feelings as
man’s essential motivating force The result was an all-
encompassing vision of reality and a philosophy of life
broader and deeper than the partial visions and attitudes
of other romanticists Yet the spirit of youthfulness, the
impatience with close reasoning or “logic-chopping,”
and the continued faith in nature remained his to the end,
together with an occasional waywardness and impulsive- ness and a disregard of artistic or logical propriety which
savor strongly of romantic individualism Since so many
twentieth-century thoughts and attitudes are similarly based on the stimulus of the Romantic Movement,
Goethe stands as particularly the poet of modern times as Dante stood for medieval times and as Shakespeare for the Renaissance
