Read the following passage from "What's in an Inkblot? Some Say, Not Much" and answer the questions that follow. Psychology has produced few more popular icons than the Rorschach inkblot test. Devised 80 years ago by a young Swiss psychiatrist, the Rorschach has entered the language as a synonym for anything ambiguous enough to invite multiple interpretations. And beyond its pop culture status, it has retained a central role in personality assessment, administered several hundred thousand times a year, by conservative estimates, to both children and adults. In custody disputes, for example, the test is used to help determine the emotional fitness of warring parents. Judges and parole boards rely on it for insight into a prisoner’s criminal tendencies or potential for violence. Clinicians use it in investigating accusation of sexual abuse, and psychotherapists, as a guide in diagnosing and treating patients. Yet almost since its creation, the inkblot test has also been controversial, with early critics calling it “cultish” and later ones deeming it “scientifically useless.” And in recent years, academic psychology departments have been divided over the merits of the test, and some have stopped teaching it.

Which words from the excerpt signal a contrast from one idea to the next?
A."And beyond its pop culture status, ..
." B."In custody disputes, for example, ...
" C."Yet almost since its creation, ..."

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
