It is often argued that the traditional newspaper has little relevance in today’s world as people no longer prefer to consume the news in a linear fashion; they prefer to pick and choose which stories they want to read, a choice that they can exercise freely on the online news portals.

A recently published paper concludes that tenured professors or those on their way to tenure do not enhance student learning as much as lecturers outside the tenure system do. The researchers found that students taught by instructors outside the tenure system are more likely to take another class in the same subject and to receive better grades in the subsequent class than those who have been taught by tenured or tenure-track professors. However, this information does not demonstrate that non-tenured professors are more successful in keeping the student interest high in the taught subject as _____________Which of the following, if true, best completes the passage?
During the last ten years, technological tools for educational purposes have seen considerable development, with many universities now offering an equal number of online courses as well as traditional classroom courses. However, access to online courses is usually limited to students living in urban areas who have access to high-speed internet facilities. Consequently, students living outside urban areas are unlikely to be able to access such courses. Nevertheless, universities are likely to continue to increase the number of online courses they offer, because ___________________

A recent study shows that teenagers participating in after school creative activities such as music and painting are more likely to show symptoms of depression than teenagers who do not engage in such activities. It was also observed that teenagers who participated exclusively in sports showed the least signs of depression. Although one cannot conclude from these results that depression is caused merely by participating in creative activities, there is definitely a correlation between depression and engagement in such activities as the study also showed that _____________________________________________________________________________

Some believe that watching sporting events is a waste of time, effort and money since sport, at best, provides temporary avenues of relief from the pressures of work and other stress-causing activities. However, an alternative perspective is that the temporary escape that the brain gets from work-related activities actually helps the brain to perform better in work-related situations, since ______________________________________

Historiography is a branch of historical research based on the belief that knowledge of the past can never be complete since it is based only on those aspects of events that were documented at the time that they occurred. For this reason, historiography is often seen as the opposite of ‘history,’ a term that indicates that the past can be fully known. While history does not consider fiction a true record of past events, historiography probably regards historical novels as genuine records of documented history, since _______________________

Customer Care Head: Recently our company’s after-sales service has been criticized on the grounds that our service centers typically do not keep the initially promised turn-around time to address complaints about products under warranty. It is reasoned that since the company does not make extra money out of servicing these products, complaints about them are not attended to on a priority basis. However, such accusations are baseless since ______________________________________

A major objection raised by critics of the requirement to wear uniforms in schools is that by asking students to conform to a dress-code, the requirement in effect hampers their individuality, thereby significantly limiting their opportunities to express themselves. However, such critics fail to understand that the requirement actually benefits students as it can cultivate mutual respect and discipline in them. As regards individuality, studies have shown that the real outlets for students to express themselves in schools are _____________________________________________________

Journalist: Education systems sincerely need to evaluate the role played by teaching poetry at the elementary school level. Asking students learning the fundamentals of a language to read and understand poetry written in it is akin to asking students who cannot count to solve a highly complex Math equation. Also most of the poems taught at the elementary school level are not appropriate for students of that age as _____________________________________________________
Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the passage above?
Journalist: Even though it may be true that the system of patenting encourages patent holders to share information that they otherwise would not have made open because of the fear of competitors benefitting from the research done solely by the patent holder, patenting does severely retard the growth of innovations in a field as _______________________________________________________

Many countries are deliberating whether they should start taxing the aviation industry for its fuel usage as a possible way to motivate it to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. The problem is rather severe. With the increasing affordability of airline tickets, it is estimated that by 2050 the aviation industry will be one of the key contributors to the CO2 emissions worldwide. Also, CO2 and the other gases emitted by aircraft could be even more damaging to the environment because __________________________________________________

In linguistics, the term ‘phatic communication’ refers to words and phrases that have been used so frequently that they no longer contain any inherent meaning. Analysts of emerging industries, which may be defined as products or ideas in early stages of development that are often based around a new technology, expect that current terminologies used in such industries to refer to work processes will eventually fall into the category of phatic expressions, because ___________________________________________________________________

The industrial revolution, which took place during the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century, is the historical time period in which new manufacturing processes began to be used on a large scale. While some argue that the individual’s standard of living increased at an unprecedented rate during this time, others believe that it was only the overall growth of the economy that increased, and that standards of living did not rise significantly until the twentieth century; the latter belief is clearly true, since _________________________
