GRE Question of The Day: Reading Comprehension

Google Buzz

Many Native Americans view the archaeological excavation and museum display of ancestral skeletal remains and items buried with them as a spiritual desecration. A number of legal remedies that either prohibit or regulate such activities may be available to Native American communities, if they can establish standing in such cases. In disinterment cases, courts have traditionally affirmed the standing of three classes of plaintiffs: the deceased’s heirs, the owner of the property on which the grave is located, and parties, including organizations or distant relatives of the deceased, that have a clear interest in the preservation of a particular grave. If an archaeologically discovered grave is of recent historical origin and associated with an identifiable Native American community, Native Americans are likely to establish standing in a suit to prevent disinterment of the remains, but in cases where the grave is ancient and located in an area where the community of Native Americans associated with the grave has not recently lived, they are less likely to be successful in this regard. Indeed, in most cases involving ancient graves, to recognize that Native Americans have standing would represent a significant expansion of common law. In cases where standing can be achieved, however, common law may provide a basis for some Native American claims against archaeologists and museums.

Property law, for example, can be useful in establishing Native American claims to artifacts that are retrieved in the excavation of ancient graves and can be considered the communal property of Native American tribes or communities. In Charrier v. Bell, a United States appellate court ruled that the common law doctrine of abandonment, which allows the finder of abandoned property to claim ownership, does not apply to objects buried with the deceased. The court ruled that the practice of burying items with the body of the deceased “is not intended as a means of relinquishing ownership to a stranger” and that to interpret it as such “could render a grave subject to despoliation either immediately after interment or…after removal of the descendants of the deceased from the neighborhood of the cemetery.” This ruling suggests that artifacts excavated from Native American ancestral graves should be returned to representatives of tribal groups who can establish standing in such cases.

More generally, United Sates courts have upheld the distinction between individual and communal property, holding that an individual Native American does not have title to communal property owned and held for common use by his or her tribe. As a result, museums cannot assume that they have valid title to cultural property merely because they purchased in good faith an item that was originally sold in good faith by an individual member of a Native American community.

1) The primary purpose of the passage is to provide an answer to which one of the following questions?
(A) How should the legal protection of Native American burial grounds be enhanced?
(B) What characteristics of Native American burial grounds enhance their chances for protection by the law?
(C) In what ways does the law protect the rights of Native Americans in regards to the contents of ancestral graves?
(D) Why are the courts concerned with protecting Native American burial grounds from desecration?
(E) By what means can Native Americans establish their rights to land on which their ancestors are buried?

2) It can be inferred that a court would be most likely to deny standing in a disinterment case to which one of the following Native American plaintiffs?
(A) one who seeks, as one of several beneficiaries of his father’s estate, to protect the father’s burial site
(B) one who seeks to prevent tenants on her land from taking artifacts from a grave located on the property
(C) one who represents a tribe whose members hope to prevent the disinterment of remains from a distant location from which the tribe recently moved
(D) one who seeks to have artifacts that have been removed from a grave determined to be that of her second cousin returned to the grave
(E) one who seeks the return of artifacts taken from the ancient burial grounds of disparate tribes and now displayed in a museum

3) According to the passage, which one of the following is true of cases involving ancient graves?
(A) Once a plaintiff’s standing has been established, such cases are usually more difficult to resolve than are cases involving more recent graves.
(B) The distinction between individual and communal property is usually an issue in such cases.
(C) Even when a plaintiff’s standing has been established, property law cannot be used as a basis for the claims of Native Americans in most such cases.
(D) In most such cases, common law does not currently provide a clear basis for establishing that Native Americans have standing.
(E) Common law is rarely used as a basis for the claims of Native Americans who have established standing in such cases.

4) The passage suggests that in making the ruling in Charrier v. Bell the court is most likely to have considered the answer to which one of the following questions?
(A) Are the descendants of the deceased still alive?
(B) What was the reason for burying the objects in question?
(C) How long after interment had buried objects been claimed by stranger?
(D) Did the descendants of the deceased remain in the neighborhood of the cemetery?
(E) Could the property on which buried objects were found be legally considered to be abandoned property?

5) The author uses the second paragraph to
(A) illustrate the contention that common law may support the claims of Native Americans to the contents of ancestral graves
(B) exemplify the difficulties that Native Americans are likely to encounter in claiming ancestral remains
(C) introduce a discussion of the distinction between individual and communal property
(D) confirm the contention that cases involving ancient graves present unresolved legal problems
(E) suggest that property law is applicable in most disinterment cases

6) Which one of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
(A) Prior to an appellate court’s ruling in Charrier v. Bell, Native Americans had no legal grounds for demanding the return of artifacts excavated from ancient graves.
(B) Property law offers the most promising remedies to Native Americans seeking to recover communally owned artifacts that were sold to museums without tribal authorization.
(C) The older the grave, the more difficult it is for Native Americans to establish standing in cases concerning the disposition of archaeologically excavated ancestral remains.
(D) In cases in which Native Americans can establish standing, common law can be useful in protecting ancestral remains and the artifacts buried with them.
(E) Native Americans are unlikely to make significant progress in the recovery of cultural property until common law is significantly expanded to provide them with standing in cases involving the excavation of ancient graves.

How “The Subject GRE” is different from the General “GRE”? In which cases you will recommend Subject GRE to a candidate ?

General GRE has verbal and Quantative and Analytical sections, whereas Subject GRE is specific to any of these subjects: 1. Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, 2.Biology, 3. Chemistry, 4.Computer Science, 5.English Literature, 6. Mathematics, 7. Physics, 8. Psychology.
If a student wishes to take up Major in any of these subjects, he is recommended to give Subject GRE in addition to general GRE which helps him/her to stand out from the other applicants.

A student is recommended to give Subject GRE in addition to general GRE in following cases
1. If he is changing his stream (like mechanical engineering to computer science)then he has to give computer science subject test.
2. If he has poor academic recard in his bachelors degree then subject GRE is helpful.
3. If student’s General GRE score is not good then subject GRE is helpful.
4. If student is going for PhD program and he gives subject GRE then his chances to getting into good unversities along with funding increased manifold.
5. If academic scores is good and General GRE is also good then Subject GRE test will be an advantage.

As ETS is going to implement new changes starting from Aug. 1, 2011, aims to serve as a better indicator of graduate school readiness. The maker of the GRE, the Educational Testing Service, will implement a wide array of changes that they hope will accomplish this goal.

In new test there will be no questions from Antonym & Analogy. Due to this reason vocaubulary will not play a major role. These are the biggest changes in the history of the GRE. Exam scores will be shifted to a 130-to-170-point scoring system in one-point increments, a change from the current 200-to-800 scale in 10-point increments. The new scoring system is designed to highlight larger discrepancies in scores in order to match them more accurately with percentiles.

The grading for the analytical writing section will remain unchanged. Scores range from zero-to-six. In the current version of the GRE, a perfect 800 on the math section equates to only the 94th percentile. The new GRE will be a multistage test, and correct answers in a given section will lead to harder questions and a higher scoring band and incorrect answers will have the opposite effect.

The user interface of the test will also be getting an updated look. A new built-in calculator function of the exam, while potentially helpful for test-takers, might also signify a more challenging math section. The essay portion of the test will be reduced from 45 to 30 minutes in length, and the prompts will be more focused, making it harder to prepare for the writing portion in advance. Students will also see a change in the frequency with which they are able to re-take the GRE, decreasing from the current once every 30 days to only once every 60 days.

Students who take the current GRE receive their scores on the Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning sections almost immediately. While the Educational Testing Service collects enough data to set up scoring for the new test, there will be a delay in score reporting of about two months.

As a result, students who take the revised test in August may not receive their scores until November or December, so those who plan to apply to graduate schools in the fall will need to take the GRE before the new test takes effect so they don’t miss application deadlines.

There are 3 types of questions in New GRE Verbal section
