– PRACTICE TEST 2 – Directions: Questions 30–35 are based on the following passage, a ﬁrst draft of an essay about the coast of Maine. Read the passage and the questions that follow. For each question, choose the answer that will most improve the passage. Some questions ask you to choose the best revision of a particular sentence or pair of sentences. Other questions ask you to consider how to best improve the overall organization of the passage. In each case, the cor- rect answer is the one that most closely conforms to the conventions of formal writing. (1)The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. (2)It is deeply indented with many coves and harbors, and numerous small islands dot the shoreline. (3)In fact, this area is a prime example of what geologists refer to as a drowned coastline. (4)Draw a straight line from the southernmost city in Maine, Kit- tery, to the northernmost coastal city, Eastport. (5)This line would measure about 225 miles. (6)Follow the coast- line between the same two cities. (7)The distance is more than ten times as far. (8)What is the cause of this irregularity? (9)The ice age, or age of continental glaciation, which occurred thousands of years ago. (10)There was so much ice over North America that the continent reacted isostatically—it sank. (11)Iso- static is a geology term meaning pertaining to alterations in the height of the earth’s crust relative to the sea. (12)As glaciers moved over the land, their weight expended enormous force on the mountains. (13)The mountains sank into the sea. (14)The original coastline is now under water. (15)It has been rising isostatically since the ice melted. (16)The Maine coast has risen at least 600 feet because we ﬁnd ice age beaches 600 feet above the present sea level. 116
