PART II ENGLISH

A. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions (31 - 35) that
follow.

The first of the Great Debates, between Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts and the
incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon on September 26, 1960, centered around domestic
issues. The topic of the next debate, on October 7, was a clash over U.S. policy regarding
two small islands off the Chinese coast, and on October 13, this controversy continued. On
October 21, the final debate, the candidates focused on American/Cuban relations.

Few of the 70 million viewers could have fathomed what this first–ever televised presidential
debate augured, not only for this specific series of debates, but more importantly for the
preeminent role the fledgling medium would play in the future of the political arena.

A pallid Nixon arrived at the Chicago CBS studios after a gruelling day of campaigning. The
previous August, a knee infection had sidelined him. He was still twenty pounds underweight,
and he perspired profusely in an ill–fitting shirt. Moreover, he declined makeup to burnish
his hospital pallor. The freshly–painted studio backdrop had dried to an ashen hue that
obscured his matching suit.

The Democratic contender by contrast exuded a robust glow after a month of campaigning
in California. He had spent his day rehearsing potential questions and relaxing. An aide later
admitted that he supplemented his natural glow with a smidge of makeup. He was fit, trim
and confident.

Despite the remarkably similar agendas and arguments of the Republican and the Democrat,
TV viewers unequivocally believed Kennedy to be the victor – whereas people who had
followed the debates on the radio held the opposite opinion. The age of TV had arrived, and
the subsequent party shuffle proved the undeniable potency of television.

31. The author is mainly concerned about

(A) the debating styles of John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon during the 1960
Great Debates.

(B) the health of Richard Nixon at the time of the 1960 Great Debates.

(C) the number of television viewers who tuned in to the 1960 Great Debates.

(D) the effect of television on the results of the 1960 Great Debates.

(D) Nixon was more prepared for the first debate than Kennedy.

33. According to the passage, which of the following was true of Richard Nixon?

(A) He had a five o’clock shadow during the first debate.

(B) He wore a brown suit during the first debate.

(C) He limped onstage for the first debate.

(D) He lost his job after the election.

34. The word ‘unequivocally’ as used in the passage means

(A) unambiguously. (B) vaguely.

(C) genuinely. (D) honestly.

35. The word ‘freshly’ in the sentence ‘The freshly–painted studio backdrop had dried
to an ashen hue that obscured his matching suit’ is
