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 questions.
One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a market must be created for an artist to become successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth-century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called “Arrangement in Grey and Black,” but known to most of us as “Whistler’s Mother.” Whistler’s brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print.
As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure.
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Whenever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.

Question 39: The word “it” refers to_____________.

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 questions.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where staff physicians practice a special integrated approach to patient care, is one of the largest medical facilities in the world. The clinic staff consists of a 12-member, committee-based board of governors and 900 physicians and medical personnel whose records are updated by approximately 200 auxiliary personnel. About 800 resident doctors assist the full time physicians as a phase of their training in medicine and surgery while they acquire their specializations. The Mayo approach to treatment has been hailed for its almost miraculous patient recovery rate.
William Worral Mayo was born in Manchester, England, immigrated to the United States in 1845, and immediately began his medical training. In 1860, he took an active part in organizing the Minnesota Territory and accepted the position of an Army surgeon during a Sioux Indian outbreak. This appointment became a stepping stone for his advancement to the post of provost surgeon for the southern portion of the state in 1863. His personal dedication and courage became legendary when a cyclone struck Rochester, and he was placed in charge of an emergency hospital.
William Worral Mayo provided crucial assistance to his sons in launching their team practice in 1889, while they were holding positions at St. Mary’s Hospital. William James became recognized for his surgical skill in gallstone, cancer, and abdominal operations. He and his brother, Charles Horace, founded the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine and donated $1.5 million to establish the foundation for contributions. Charles William, the son of Charles Horace Mayo, became a member of the board of governors at the Mayo Graduate School and an alternate delegate to the United Nations General Assembly before retiring from the clinic in 1963.
William James Mayo presided in the American Medical Association and served in Army military corps as a brigadier general in the medical reserve. Charles Horace was a professor of surgery and a health officer of Rochester subsequent to serving in the armed forces between 1914 and 1918. The Mayo practice became known far and wide for its success in surgical procedures. In 1914, the practice moved into its own medical center, and today the number of patients equals approximately 280,000 per annum. Since the clinic opened in 1907, 4.5 million patients have been treated.
