(17) Periodic realignment of the Earth's magnetic field occurs two ways: the first, "field regeneration", or the creation of new magnetic fields from the ambient geomagnetic field, takes place because magnetic field lines are trappedLine in effective electrical conductors. The field is trapped in molten iron which(5) moves in response to the forces imposed upon it and as the core moves, the field lines are stretched and twisted, creating a new magnetic field. The second process is the diffusion of the magnetic fields: in the same way that a drop of dye will soon diffuse throughout a swimming pool, a concentration of magnetic field lines diffuses throughout the planet's outer core. On the large scale of(10) stars and planets, the field lines are caught up in the fluid motion and distorted, generating a new magnetic field before diffusing away. This rarer type of field reversal is likely caused by unexplained larger changes in the flow in the outer core, though scientists have suggested such fluctuations may simply be extreme examples of fluctuations in the dynamo processes--an El Nino in the weather of(15) the outer core.
(18)Which of the hypothetical discoveries would MOST likely shed doubt on the author's claim that "field regeneration" could be responsible for the earth's magnetic reversals?
(19)The passage suggests which of the following about changes in the earth's magnetic alignment?
(20)The author employs all of the following in the passage EXCEPT
(21) African-American filmmakers should be in an enviable position, for since the early 1990s there has been a steady wave of low budget black films which have turned a solid profit due to a very strong response in the African-AmericanLine community and a larger crossover audience than anticipated. Any rational(5) business manager would now identify this sector as a prime candidate for expansion, but if the films have done so well with limited production and marketing costs, why have they not received full scale support?Many analysts feel the business is engulfed in a miasma of self-serving and self-fulfilling myths based on the unspoken assumption that African -American(10) films can never be vehicles of prestige, glamour, or celebrity. The relationship players have convinced themselves that black films can do only a limited domestic business under any circumstance and have virtually no foreign box office potential. As executives who now control the film industry grew up in those decades when there were few black images on the screen and those that(15) did exist were produced by film-makers with limited knowledge of the black community, it is little wonder that they avoid ideological issues, and seek to continue making films that they are comfortable with by avoiding they negative imagery of films they would prefer to eschew entirely.Also to blame for this deleterious phenomenon are legions of desperate and(20) Machiavellian African-American film producers, directors, and writers who would transform The Birth of a Nation into a black musical as long as it would provide them with gainful studio employment. These filmmakers not only perpetuate negative stereotypes in their films, but they also season them with a sprinkling of African-American authenticity. This situation would be onerous(25) enough, given the economic exploitation of the community involved; unfortunately these films also validate the pathologies they depict. The constant projection of the black community as a kind of urban Wild Kingdom, the glamorization of tragic situations, and the celebration of inner city drug dealers and gangsters has a programming effect on black youth. The power of music in(so) film is a particularly seductive and propagandistic force which in the recent crop of African -American films has rarely been used in a positive social manner.What flows from this combination of factors is a policy of market exploitation rather than market development, evidenced by the fact that any number of films may open to 1,500 screens in one week, only to totally(35) disappear in less than a month. This restricted body of film products erodes the genre' s long-term viability, particularly with the more fickle non-African- American audiences and foreign audiences. Furthermore, when African- American actors begin to emerge as stars, their projects are
usually designed to be "more" than a black film, such that any success t

(17) The historian Batalla has properly concluded that although the Mesoamerican central plateau was militarily conquered in 1521, this conquest did not directly translate into a complete physical, cultural, and psychologicalLine surrender, largely because of survival strategies.
Batalla's creative three step(5) model of resistance, innovation, and appropriation helps explain the modern survival and transformation of the Nahua culture. Resistance, the first, includes the native refusing to use fertilizer transported from outside of the communities and those Nahua who burned the school that had been built for them on the same day it was to be inaugurated. The second mechanism,(10) innovation, included their use of metal drills to create hair pipe and snuff lids to manufacture jingles. And to appreciate the third survivalist tactic, appropriation, we need only consider the way in which native Nahua people have superficially appropriated the Catholic religion as a surface cover for their indigenous customs.
(18)It may be inferred that the author believes that historians prior to Batalla have committed the error of
(19)It can be inferred from the passage that the author would MOST likely consider which of the following to be an example of a conquered culture adopting an appropriation strategy for the sake of survival?
(20)It can be inferred that the author's views the superficial appropriation of the Catholic religion as which of the following?
(21) Although humans have much bigger brains relative to body weight than do other primates, the total resting energy requirements of the human body are no greater than those of any other mammal of the same size, implying that we useLine a higher share of our daily energy
budget to feed our voracious brains. How did(5) such an energetically costly brain evolve?One theory holds that bipedalism enabled hominids to cool their cranial blood, thereby freeing the heat-sensitive brain of the temperature constraints that had kept its size in check. But brain expansion almost certainly could not have occurred until hominids adopted a diet sufficiently rich in calories and(10) nutrients to meet the associated costs. Across all primates, species with bigger brains dine on richer foods, and humans are the extreme example of this correlation, boasting the largest relative brain size and the choicest diet. Animal foods are far denser in calories and nutrients than most plant foods, and so it stands to reason that for early Homo, acquiring more gray matter meant(15) seeking out more of the energy-dense fare.Fossils, too, indicate that improvements to dietary quality accompanied evolutionary brain growth. The later, robust proto-humans--a dead-end branch of the human family tree that lived alongside members of our own genus—had heavily built mandibles and huge, thickly enameled molar teeth built for(20) processing tough, low-quality plant foods, while early members of the genus Homo, which descended from the gracile proto-humans, had much more delicate jaws and, smaller molars, despite being far larger in terms of overall body size than their predecessors.Environmental change appears to have set the stage for this evolutionary(25) change when the continued desiccation of the African landscape limited the amount and variety of edible plant foods available to hominids. Thus we often see an increase in animal bones at hominid sites during this period, along with evidence that these beasts were butchered using stone tools. While the robust proto-humans coped with this problem morphologically, evolving anatomical(30) specializations that enabled them to subsist on more widely available, difficult-to-chew foods, Homo took a different path. As it turns out, the spread of grasslands also led to an increase in the relative abundance of grazing mammals such as antelope and gazelle, creating opportunities for hominids capable of exploiting them. Homo developed the first hunting-and-gathering economy in(35) which game animals became a significant part of the diet and resources were shared among members of the foraging groups.These changes in diet and foraging behavior did not turn our ancestors into strict carnivores, but the addition of modest amounts of animal foods to the menu, combined with the sharing of resources that is typical of hunter-gatherer(40) groups, significantly increased the quality and stab
