• C. Gulliver becomes acquainted with the people and practices of his new surroundings.
• D. Gulliver reflects on the cultural differences between his homeland and the new land.

He interacts with the natives, learns their language, and participates in their shows, indicating his growing understanding and acceptance of the new culture. Choice A is incorrect because the text goes beyond detailing his experiences to focus on his growing familiarity with the society. Choice B is incorrect because Gulliver not only observes but actively engages with the customs.

• B. Attendance is voluntary for self-improvement classes.
• C. Many different kinds of self-improvement classes are available.
• D. Cooking is one type of self-improvement classes.

4. Which of the following is true of hypotheses of the form 'All x are y'?

• A. Something that is neither x nor y disproves the hypothesis.
• B. Something that is both x and y disproves the hypothesis.
• C. Something that is x but not y disproves the hypothesis.
• D. Something that is y but not x disproves the hypothesis.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In hypotheses of the form 'All x are y,' the hypothesis is making a claim that all instances of x also fall under y. Therefore, if something is y but not x, it disproves the hypothesis because it contradicts the assertion that all x are y. Choice A is incorrect because something that is neither x nor y doesn't provide evidence against the hypothesis. Choice B is incorrect because if something is both x and y, it actually supports the hypothesis. Choice C is incorrect as something that is x but not y doesn't disprove the hypothesis, as it could still be consistent with the claim that all x are y.

5. Which term is most closely aligned with the definition of the term working man as it is defined in the following passage?

• A. Plebeian
• B. Viscount
• C. Entrepreneur
• D. Bourgeois

'Viscount' refers to a nobleman ranking above a baron but below an earl. 'Entrepreneur' is a person who organizes and operates a business, typically taking financial risks in the hope of profit. 'Bourgeois' relates to the middle class, typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values or conventional attitudes.
