Passage
Maria Montessori’s Method
[1] At the end of the 19th century, Maria Montessori became (1) Italys’ first modern woman physician. Early in her career, she struggled to advance (2) by the male-dominated profession. As a member of the University of Rome faculty, she was assigned to the city’s insane asylums to experiment with the patients’ capacity to (3) learn: a task considered menial by medical professionals at the time.
Although her education was in (4) the science of the human body, her interaction with mentally-disabled children drew her to study the processes of the mind and, specifically, (5) how children learn. By 1906, she had resigned from the university to pursue a career in child education.
[2] 1. Her observation of these children inspired her life’s work in teaching and the pursuit of progressive educational
restructuring.
2. (6) With the first children that were working class, numbering sixty, Montessori established a “children’s house” in Rome to foster an environment ideally suited for child development. 
3. Her efforts led her students—even those with supposed learning disabilities—to excel at standardized examinations. 
4. In the children’s house, Montessori realized how (7) ready children learn from their environment. (8)
[3] At its core, the Montessori Method is (9) a theory of child development. Comparison of a (10) child’s development to universal standards and norms is discouraged, since it is believed that children naturally develop in (11) different ways, and acquire skills, at different times. Acknowledging this, a Montessori educator closely (12) observed the child and provides him or her with the tools necessary for independent learning. Adults avoid giving criticism for mistakes and rewards for successes. The goal of these steps is to ease the child into an environment of learning without fear. Self-learning and self-correction are the fundamental processes of the Montessori Method, (13) considering Maria Montessori showed will foster a lifelong love of learning and joy in the pursuit of one’s goals.
[4] Today, children are taught with the Montessori Method in (14) schools both public and private in the United States and many countries around the world. With increasing pressure on schools to provide quality education to a growing population, Montessori’s visionary ideas of teaching self-reliance and love of learning continue to gain popularity. (15)
Q. (4) At this point, the writer would like to provide specific information about Montessori’s education. Which alternative does that best?
  • a)
    no change
  • b)
    anatomy and physiology
  • c)
    the way the human body works
  • d)
    science
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The passage makes a distinction between Montessori’s training and the processes of the mind. Only answer choice B, “anatomy and physiology,” makes this distinction clear. Answer choices A, C, and especially D are broad and could include study of the mind. They do not make a clear distinction and are incorrect.

Passage Listening to a Different Language Dog obedience training is an important undertaking when (1)one acquiresa new dog. This is particularly important if the dog owner is a social person or plans to interact with other dogs and (2)theowners. One problem, however, is that obedience training (3)wasa form of one-way communication from the owner to the dog. Many owners fail to consider that the animal actually communicates back. Carefully watching a (4) dogmovements and facial expressions reveals a great deal about what a dog is thinking. A dog’s forehead, for example, may wrinklewhen the dog is (5)confusedor waiting for a signal from its owner. When the dog wants to play, it might pull (6)thelips back slightly, showing its teeth in a “smile.” A relaxed dog might let its tongue loll out of its mouth, creating a look of contentment on its face.(7) Other forms of body language (8)can also indicatewhich emotion a dog is experiencing. For example, if its ears are raised, it is probably absorbing the sounds around it. Shifting its ears back flat against its head demonstrates submission or fear.(9) A high, wagging tail shows that the dog is happy and ready to play. If the wagging tail is held low and taut, however, the dog is probably on guard and may be ready to pounce. When it feels threatened or indicates submissiveness, the dog might tuck its tail between its legs, crouch down, and then roll over onto its back. (10) Body language and even vocalizations are good indicators of a dog’s emotions. 1.While most dogs are capable of learning a variety of human words and physical (11)signals; traininga dog becomes much easier when the owner tries to discern its unique communication signals. 2.As an owner begins tuning into his or her dog’s body language, he or she may find that the dog responds to movements in addition to verbal commands. 3.For example, when teaching a dog to “come,” the owner might find it more effective to crouch down, the owner’s back to the dog as its name is called. 4.The dog will interpret this behavior in a more positive light than if the owner leans forward and yells at it to “come.” 5.To a dog, a crouching position is more welcoming than a forward-lean, which a dog naturally finds threatening. 6.Dog owners should always have small treats on hand to reward their dog when it obeys a command. (12) The bottom (13)line, isthat there is a great deal more involved in (14)communicating witha canine than just teaching it to come, stay, heel, and fetch. To attain a strong, two-way relationship, it is (15)best with rememberingthe importance of non-verbal communication. Q. (3)
