After reading a passage, choose the best answerto each question and fill in the corresponding oval on the answer sheet. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of whatis stated or implied in that passage.Line(5)(10)(15)(20)(25)1.Traditionally, the first firm to commercialize anew technology has benefited from the uniqueopportunity to shape product definitions, forcingfollowers to adapt to a standard or invest in anunproven alternative. Today, however, the largestpayoffs may go to companies that lead in developingintegrated approaches for successful mass productionand distribution.Producers of the Beta format for videocassetterecorders (VCR's), for example, were first to developthe VCR commercially in 1975, but producers of therival VHS (Video Home System) format proved to bemore successful at forming strategic alliances withother producers and distributors to manufacture andmarket their VCR format. Seeking to maintainexclusive control over VCR distribution, Betaproducers were reluctant to form such alliances andeventually lost ground to VHS in the competition forthe global VCR market.Despite Beta's substantial technological headstart and the fact that VHS was neither technicallybetter nor cheaper than Beta, developers of VHSquickly turned a slight early lead in sales into adominant position. Strategic alignments withproducers of prerecorded tapes reinforced the VHSadvantage. The perception among consumers thatprerecorded tapes were more available in VHSformat further expanded VHS's share of the market.By the end of the 1980's, Beta was no longer inproduction.The passage is primarily concerned with which of thefollowing?2.According to the passage, today’s successful firms,unlike successful firms in the past, may earn thegreatest profits by(A) investing in research to produce cheaper versionsof existing technology(B) being the first to market a competing technology(C) adapting rapidly to a technological standardpreviously set by a competing firm(D) establishing technological leadership in order toshape product definitions in advance ofcompeting firms(E) emphasizing the development of methods for themass production and distribution of a newtechnology3.According to the passage, consumers began to developa preference for VCR’s in the VHS format becausethey believed which of the following?(A) VCR’s in the VHS format were technically betterthan competing-format VCR’s.(B) VCR’s in the VHS format were less expensivethan competing-format VCR’s.(C) VHS was the first standard format for VCR’s.(D) VHS prerecorded videotapes were more availablethan Beta-format tapes.(E) VCR’s in the Beta format would soon cease to beproduced.(A) Evaluating two competing technologies(B) Tracing the impact of a new technology bynarrating a sequence of eventsGO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.(C) Reinterpreting an event from contemporarybusiness history(D) Illustrating a business strategy by means of a casehistory(E) Proposing an innovative approach to businessplanningREPRODUCTION OF THIS CONTENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE GRADUATEMANAGEMENT ADMISSION COUNCIL IS IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS.6

Line(5)(10)(15)(20)(25)7.Australian researchers have discoveredelectroreceptors (sensory organs designed to respondto electrical fields) clustered at the tip of the spinyanteater's snout. The researchers made this discoveryby exposing small areas of the snout to extremelyweak electrical fields and recording the transmissionof resulting nervous activity to the brain. While it istrue that tactile receptors, another kind of sensoryorgan on the anteater's snout, can also respond toelectrical stimuli, such receptors do so only inresponse to electrical field strengths about 1,000times greater than those known to exciteelectroreceptors.Having discovered the electroreceptors,researchers are now investigating how anteatersutilize such a sophisticated sensory system. In onebehavioral experiment, researchers successfullytrained an anteater to distinguish between twotroughs of water, one with a weak electrical field andthe other with none. Such evidence is consistent withresearchers' hypothesis that anteaters useelectroreceptors to detect electrical signals given offby prey; however, researchers as yet have beenunable to detect electrical signals emanating fromtermite mounds, where the favorite food of anteaterslive. Still, researchers have observed anteatersbreaking into a nest of ants at an oblique angle andquickly locating nesting chambers. This ability toquickly locate unseen prey suggests, according to theresearchers, that the anteaters were using theirelectroreceptors to locate the nesting chambers.According to the passage, which of the following is acharacteristic that distinguishes electroreceptors fromtactile receptors?(A) The manner in which electroreceptors respond toelectrical stimuli(B)The tendency of electroreceptors to be found inclusters8.Which of the following can be inferred about theexperiment described in the first paragraph?(A) Researchers had difficulty verifying the existenceof electroreceptors in the anteater becauseelectroreceptors respond to such a narrow rangeof electrical field strengths.(B) Researchers found that the level of nervousactivity in the anteater's brain increaseddramatically as the strength of the electricalstimulus was increased.(C) Researchers found that some areas of theanteater's snout were not sensitive to a weakelectrical stimulus.(D) Researchers found that the anteater's tactilereceptors were more easily excited by a strongelectrical stimulus than were the electroreceptors.(E) Researchers tested small areas of the anteater'ssnout in order to ensure that only electroreceptorswere responding to the stimulus.9.The author of the passage most probably discussesthe function of tactile receptors (lines 7-11) inorder to(A) eliminate an alternative explanation of anteaters’response to electrical stimuli(B) highlight a type of sensory organ that has afunction identical to that of electroreceptors(C) point out a serious complication in the research onelectroreceptors in anteaters(D) suggest that tactile receptors assistelectroreceptors in the detection of electricalsignals(E) introduce a factor that was not addressed in theresearch on electroreceptors in anteaters(C)The unusual locations in which electroreceptorsare found in most species(D) The amount of electrical stimulation required toexcite electroreceptors(E) The amount of nervous activity transmitted to thebrain by electroreceptors when they are excitedGO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.REPRODUCTION OF THIS CONTENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE GRADUATEMANAGEMENT ADMISSION COUNCIL IS IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS.8
10.Which of the following can be inferred aboutanteaters from the behavioral experiment mentionedin the second paragraph?(A) They are unable to distinguish between stimulidetected by their electroreceptors and stimulidetected by their tactile receptors.(B) They are unable to distinguish between theelectrical signals emanating from termite moundsand those emanating from ant nests.11.12.Which of the following, if true, would moststrengthen the hypothesis mentioned in lines 17-19?(A) Researchers are able to train anteaters to breakinto an underground chamber that is emitting astrong electrical signal.(B) Researchers are able to detect a weak electricalsignal emanating from the nesting chamber of anant colony.(C) They can be trained to recognize consistently thepresence of a particular stimulus.(C) Anteaters are observed taking increasingly longeramounts of time to locate the nesting chambers ofants.(D) They react more readily to strong than to weakstimuli.(D) Anteaters are observed using various angles tobreak into nests of ants.(E) They are more efficient at detecting stimuli in acontrolled environment than in a naturalenvironment.(E) Anteaters are observed using the same angle usedwith nests of ants to break into the nests of othertypes of prey.The passage suggests that the researchers mentionedin the second paragraph who observed anteatersbreak into a nest of ants would most likely agreewith which of the following statements?GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.(A) The event they observed provides conclusiveevidence that anteaters use their electroreceptorsto locate unseen prey.(B) The event they observed was atypical and may notreflect the usual hunting practices of anteaters.(C) It is likely that the anteaters located the ants'nesting chambers without the assistance ofelectroreceptors.(D) Anteaters possess a very simple sensory systemfor use in locating prey.(E) The speed with which the anteaters located theirprey is greater than what might be expected onthe basis of chance alone.REPRODUCTION OF THIS CONTENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE GRADUATEMANAGEMENT ADMISSION COUNCIL IS IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS.9
Line(5)(10)(15)(20)(25)(30)(35)(40)When A. Philip Randolph assumed theleadership of the Brotherhood of Sleeping CarPorters, he began a ten-year battle to win recognitionfrom the Pullman Company, the largest privateemployer of Black people in the United States andthe company that controlled the railroad industry'ssleeping car and parlor service. In 1935 theBrotherhood became the first Black union recognizedby a major corporation. Randolph's efforts in thebattle helped transform the attitude of Black workerstoward unions and toward themselves as anidentifiable group; eventually, Randolph helped toweaken organized labor's antagonism toward Blackworkers.13.In the Pullman contest Randolph facedformidable obstacles. The first was Black workers'understandable skepticism toward unions, which hadhistorically barred Black workers from membership.An additional obstacle was the union that Pullmanitself had formed, which weakened support amongBlack workers for an independent entity.14.The Brotherhood possessed a number ofadvantages, however, including Randolph's owntactical abilities. In 1928 he took the bold step ofthreatening a strike against Pullman. Such a threat, ona national scale, under Black leadership, helpedreplace the stereotype of the Black worker as servantwith the image of the Black worker as wage earner.In addition, the porters' very isolation aided theBrotherhood. Porters were scattered throughout thecountry, sleeping in dormitories in Blackcommunities; their segregated life protected theunion's internal communications from interception.That the porters were a homogeneous group workingfor a single employer with a single labor policy, thussharing the same grievances from city to city, alsostrengthened the Brotherhood and encouraged racialidentity and solidarity as well. But it was only in theearly 1930's that federal legislation prohibiting acompany from maintaining its own unions withcompany money eventually allowed the Brotherhoodto become recognized as the porters' representative.Not content with this triumph, Randolph broughtthe Brotherhood into the American Federation ofLabor, where it became the equal of the Federation's105 other unions. He reasoned that as a memberunion, the Brotherhood would be in a better positionto exert pressure on member unions that practicedrace restrictions. Such restrictions were eventuallyfound unconstitutional in 1944.According to the passage, by 1935 the skepticism ofBlack workers toward unions was(A) unchanged except among Black employees ofrailroad-related industries(B) reinforced by the actions of the PullmanCompany’s union(C) mitigated by the efforts of Randolph(D) weakened by the opening up of many unions toBlack workers(E) largely alleviated because of the policies of theAmerican Federation of LaborIn using the word “understandable” (line 14), theauthor most clearly conveys(A) sympathy with attempts by the Brotherhoodbetween 1925 and 1935 to establish anindependent union(B) concern that the obstacles faced by Randolphbetween 1925 and 1935 were indeed formidable(C) ambivalence about the significance of unions tomost Black workers in the 1920’s(D) appreciation of the attitude of many Blackworkers in the 1920’s toward unions(E) regret at the historical attitude of unions towardBlack workers15.The passage suggests which of the following aboutthe response of porters to the Pullman Company’sown union?(A) Few porters ever joined this union.(B) Some porters supported this union before 1935.(C) Porters, more than other Pullman employees,enthusiastically supported this union.(D) The porters’ response was most positive after1935.(E) The porters’ response was unaffected by thegeneral skepticism of Black workers concerningunions.GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.REPRODUCTION OF THIS CONTENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE GRADUATEMANAGEMENT ADMISSION COUNCIL IS IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS.10
16.The passage suggests that if the grievances of portersin one part of the United States had been differentfrom those of porters in another part of the country,which of the following would have been the case?18.(A) It would have been more difficult for the PullmanCompany to have had a single labor policy.(B) It would have been more difficult for theBrotherhood to control its channels ofcommunication.The passage supplies information concerning whichof the following matters related to Randolph?(A) The steps he took to initiate the founding of theBrotherhood(B) His motivation for bringing the Brotherhood intothe American Federation of Labor(C) The influence he had on the passage of legislationoverturning race restrictions in 1944(D) The influence he had on the passage of legislationto bar companies from financing their own unions(C) It would have been more difficult for theBrotherhood to build its membership.(E) The success he and the Brotherhood had ininfluencing the policies of the other unions in theAmerican Federation of Labor(D) It would have been easier for the PullmanCompany's union to attract membership.(E) It would have been easier for the Brotherhood tothreaten strikes.17.The passage suggests that in the 1920's a company inthe United States was able to(A) use its own funds to set up a union(B) require its employees to join the company's ownunion(C) develop a single labor policy for all its employeeswith little employee dissent(D) pressure its employees to contribute money tomaintain the company's own union(E) use its resources to prevent the passage of federallegislation that would have facilitated theformation of independent unionsSTOPIF YOU FINISH BEFORE TIME IS CALLED, YOU MAY CHECK YOUR WORK ON THIS SECTION ONLY.DO NOT TURN TO ANY OTHER SECTION IN THE TEST.REPRODUCTION OF THIS CONTENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE GRADUATEMANAGEMENT ADMISSION COUNCIL IS IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS.11
