PASSAGE III

21. The best answer is B. The passage indicates that, like Tiger Woods, Bobby Jones was also a very talented golfer at a young age. Tiger Woods entitled his book, How I Play Golf, which was the same title that Bobby Jones used for his instructional film series. These, and other details from the passage, suggest that both of the men were similar in many ways, answer choice B.

22. The best answer is J. The second paragraph states that “Pop” Keeler was a mentor for Bobby, and helped Bobby to become a gracious winner and loser, as well as “a remarkably honorable gentleman.” This indicates that “Pop” Keeler was a positive force in Bobby’s life, answer choice J.

23. The best answer is C. The passage discusses many accomplishments that Jones made throughout his life, including furthering his education. The passage also mentions that Jones did not take lessons or practice constantly. Answer choices A, B, and D can be eliminated, because they are not supported by details in the passage.

24. The best answer is J. The first paragraph serves as an introductory paragraph and references the comparison between Tiger Woods and Bobby Jones. The rest of the passage discusses Bobby Jones’ many accomplishments and mentions several similarities between Tiger and Bobby.

25. The best answer is A. Since Jones took time away from golfing to earn his college degrees, it is clear that his perspective on higher education was that it was important. The other answer choices are not supported by the passage.

26. The best answer is G. The statement appears in the fourth paragraph, where Jones insisted on following the rules of the game, “adding a penalty stroke to his score.” This suggests that he placed as great an emphasis on the rules of golf as he did on the laws against crime.

27. The best answer is D. According to the passage, Bobby Jones “earned a varsity letter as the assistant manager of Harvard’s golf team. It is difficult to imagine one of today’s professional athletes volunteering to be the assistant manager of a college team!” These details best support the notion that Bobby Jones was more committed than today’s professional athletes.

28. The best answer is H. According to the passage, syringeomyelia is a rare spinal disease, which eventually confined Jones to a wheelchair. This suggests that the disease gradually left him incapacitated, answer choice H. He had retired from golf years earlier, so answer choice G can be eliminated. The other answer choices are not supported by the passage.

29. The best answer is B. Jones’ comment in the seventh paragraph was in response to a question about his debilitating disease.

30. The best answer is F. The overall tone of the passage is very positive, and indicates that the author admired and respected Bobby Jones. The other answer choices are not supported by the passage.
