studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day
and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning
adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each
student studies on-line as well as that students' learning materials and assessment activities.

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions:
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial language. It was created more than a
century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common
language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhofs first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as
uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce.

This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words. though short, were
not easy to understand or to retain
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the
words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar
tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all
nouns in this language end in 0, as in the noun amiko, which means "friend," and all adjectives
end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means "pretty." Another example of the simplified
language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word
malamiko therefore means "enemy," and the word malbela therefore means "ugly" in Zamenhofs
language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen
name, Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word
means "a person who hopes" in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout
Europe and by1905, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately
700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and
4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914,
when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.

Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it
was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may
seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English
speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today's world. Current advocates would like to
see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen.

student studies on-line as well as that students' learning materials and assessment activities.
Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions:
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial language. It was created more than a
century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common
language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhofs first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as
uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce.
This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words. though short, were
not easy to understand or to retain
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the
words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar
tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all
nouns in this language end in 0, as in the noun amiko, which means "friend," and all adjectives
end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means "pretty." Another example of the simplified
language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word
malamiko therefore means "enemy," and the word malbela therefore means "ugly" in Zamenhofs
language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen

name, Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word
means "a person who hopes" in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout
Europe and by1905, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately
700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and
4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914,
when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it
was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may
seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English
speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today's world. Current advocates would like to
see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen.
Question 31. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses ______.
A. another of Zamenhofs accomplishment.
B. the disadvantages of usi:1g an artificial language.
C. how current supporters of Esperanto are encouraging its growth.
D. attempts to reconvene the World Congress of Esperanto in the 1920s
