Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

What do Charles Darwin, Nicholas Copernicus and Frank J. Sulloway have in common?

The first two, of course, were revolutionary scientific thinkers: Copernicus established that the Earth

revolves around the sun; Darwin discovered natural selection. And Sulloway? He’s a historian of science

at Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has discovered something else these two men-and, indeed,

most of the major pioneers in science over the last 400 years-have in common: they were, like Sulloway

himself, preceded in birth by at least one other brother or sister. Birth order, he found, is the most reliable

indicator of whether a scientist will embrace or attack radical new ideas.

The third of four children, Sulloway has spent 20 years searching out the birth order of 2,784

scientists who were on one side or the other of 28 scientific revolutions since the 16th century. He

discovered that 23 of the 28 revolutions were led by later-borns.

Sulloway focused on the male-dominated world of science and the sole issue he measured was

willingness to challenge established opinions. Those least likely to accept new theories were firstborns

with younger brothers or sisters. The most radical were younger sons with at least one older brother.

According to Sulloway’s theory, firstborn children identify more readily with parental authority
