39. Answer: FALSE
Explain
Innovation is most successful if the people involved have distinct roles.
· Key words: innovation, successful, people, distinct, roles
· By using the skim and scan skill, we find that “innovation” is mentioned in the first sentence of section F. Here, it is stated that “the best approach is to create an environment devoid of structure and hierarchy”. This means that innovation is most successful when people are involved as the whole group, rather than as distinct roles found in a structure and hierarchy. Thus, this statement is FALSE.
40. Answer: NOT GIVEN
Explain
Google was inspired to adopt flexibility by the success of General Electric.
· Key words: Google, inspired, adopt, flexibility, success, General Electric
· The last paragraph of section G contains information about General Electric and Google. It is mentioned that both of them have embraced disorganisation, or flexibility, in their companies. However, the author does not mention anything about General Electric‟s success or the relation between Google and General Electric. So we cannot say that Google adopted flexibility because of General Electric. The answer is NOT GIVEN.

1. Answer: B
Explain
· Key words: non-scientists, assumptions, intelligence, influence, behavior
· People‟s behavior towards others‟ intelligence is mentioned in the first sentence of paragraph B: “implicit theories of intelligence drive the way in which people perceive and evaluate their own intelligence and that of others”. Non-scientists refer to normal people, and implicit theories refer to assumptions (about intelligence). The way people evaluate the intelligence of other people influences their behavior towards others.
2. Answer: A
Explain
· Key words: reference, lack clarity, definition, intelligence
· In the first sentence of the passage, the author claims that “no one knows for certain what it (intelligence) actually is”. Thus, it can be said that there is a lack of clarity over the definition of intelligence. The answer is paragraph A.
3. Answer: D
Explain
· Key words: researcher‟s, implicit, explicit, theories, different
· The relation between implicit and explicit theories is mentioned in paragraph D: “if an investigation…reveals little correspondence between the extant implicit and explicit theories, the implicit theories may be wrong”. This suggests that it is possible that these two types of theories may be different.
· Different = little correspondence
