Re: GRE Test Verbal

As per your requirement I am here giving you sample question paper for verbal section test of Graduate record Examination (GRE).

Sample paper :
Question 1.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A.In various parts of the world, civilizations that could not make iron from ore fashioned tools out of fragments of iron from meteorites

B. All the metallic Mayan artifacts that have been found by archaeologists are made of metals that are too soft for carving stone.
C. The stone out of which these carvings were made is harder than the stone used by other Central American peoples.
D. The technique that the Maya used to smelt gold and some other metals could not have been easily applied to the task of extracting iron from iron ore.
E. Archaeologists disagree about how certain stone tools that have been found among Mayan ruins were used.
Select and indicate one answer choice from among the choices provided.

Questions 2 and 3 are based on the following reading passage.
In early-twentieth-century England, it was fashionable to claim that only a completely new style of writing could address a world undergoing unprecedented transformation — just as one literary critic recently claimed that only the new “aesthetic of exploratory excess” can address a world undergoing . . . well, you know. Yet in early-twentieth-century England, T. S. Eliot, a man fascinated by the “presence” of the past, wrote the most innovative poetry of his time. The lesson for today’s literary community seems obvious: a reorientation toward tradition would benefit writers no less than readers. But if our writers and critics indeed respect the novel’s rich tradition (as they claim to), then why do they disdain the urge to tell an exciting story?

Question 2.
This question has five answer choices, labeled A through E. Select and indicate the best answer from among these choices.

The author of the passage suggests that present-day readers would particularly benefit from which of the following changes on the part of present-day writers and critics?
A. An increased focus on the importance of engaging the audience in a narrative
B. Modernization of the traditional novelistic elements already familiar to readers
C. Embracing aspects of fiction that are generally peripheral to the interest of readers
D. A greater recognition of how the tradition of the novel has changed over time
E. A better understanding of how certain poets such as Eliot have influenced fiction of the present time
Select and indicate one answer choice from among the choices provided

Question 3.
This question has five answer choices, labeled A through E. Select and indicate the best answer from among these choices.
The word “address” appears in the first sentence of the passage. Part of that sentence reads, “...a completely new style of writing could address a world undergoing unprecedented transformation...”. In the context of the passage as a whole, “address” is closest in meaning to
A. reveal
B. belie
C. speak to
D. direct attention toward
E. attempt to remediate
Select and indicate one answer choice from among the choices provided.
