Questions 1 to 3 are based on this passage.Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music in classical composition, an approachthat had been in hibernation in the United States during the 1960s, composer Philip Glass (born1937) embraced the ethos of popular music in his compositions. Glass based two symphonieson music by rock musicians David Bowie and Brian Eno, but the symphonies’ sound isdistinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out of place in Glass’s classical music, whichfrom its early days has shared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Yet this use ofpopular elements has not made Glass a composer of popular music. His music is not a versionof popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rockrather than the classics.Select only one answer choice.1.

Select the correct text in the passage.Which detail provides valid reasoning to support the author's idea that the glasses have an everyday application?(11) Another bonus is that the glasses let the user apply the system to real life. "We're integrating this into immersive activity where the user gets to choose the activity," Greco said. "And because they're choosing, they're more engaged and having a more successful outcome."(12) For example, he said, students can use the glasses while studying or doing schoolwork, helping them stay focused on the task and training them to control their attention.(13) The first prototypes went out to clinics in 2014, and iterations of the glasses have been in testing ever since. The Harbin Clinic in Rome, Georgia, reported that clinicians were seeing results from the Narbis prototype in about half the time it normally took with other clinical neurofeedback, Greco said. In all, he said, four out of five patients who have trained with the glasses reported significant improvement in five or fewer 30-minute trainings, and people who take medication for attention difficulties are coming off those drugs after about 20 sessions, as opposed to the 30 sessions it usually takes with other neurofeedback techniques.

Most glass used in architectural applications is Sheet Glass.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Sweeping visions of the pulsating stars and swirling galaxies have guided visionary composers, as has the history of astronomy itself, inspiring music that commemorates breakthroughs in astrophysics and space exploration. For Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös, the spaceflight adventures of astronauts and the universe’s origins in the Big Bang motivated the instrumental music of Cosmos. Other composers such as Henryk Gorecki, who honored astronomer Nicholas Copernicus, and Philip Glass, who crafted operas devoted to Kepler and Galileo, have offered tribute to scientists and mathematicians who laid the foundations of modern astronomy.10Mark for ReviewCross out answer choices you think are wrong.ABCWhich choice best describes the main idea of the text?AMusic based on topics in astronomy varies considerably, with composers increasingly drawn to opera as a preferred mode.BInstrumental music has enabled composers to represent astronomy-based topics that opera proved unable to depict.CComposers have been inspired both by specific astronomers and by phenomena from astronomy as a broad field of investigation.DNew approaches to astronomy-based topics have resulted from dialogues involving diverse composers.
