Sample questions from this test

Try these five before you start. They are part of the paper, so you may prefer to skip the answers until after you have attempted it.

1Read the passage and answer:
Language shapes thought in subtle ways, yet it does not imprison it. Speakers of different languages often categorise colour, time and space differently, which suggests that habits of expression influence habits of attention. However, bilingual speakers routinely move between these habits, and translation, though imperfect, remains possible. The stronger claim that language entirely determines thought is therefore difficult to sustain; a more defensible view holds that language guides, rather than dictates, how we think.

The central idea of the passage is that language:

  1. completely controls thought
  2. has no effect on thought
  3. cannot be translated at all
  4. influences thought without wholly determining it
Show answer and explanation

Answer: D. influences thought without wholly determining it

Stated in the final sentence.
