Choice (C) is incorrect. Lines 4-5 instead suggest that smell is less crucial to most people than sight.

Choice (D) is incorrect. Although this phrase does not imply that the other senses are entirely useless, lines 4-5 do not suggest that vision requires another sense to be functional.

Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. At no point in the passage does the author discuss the presence or absence of color.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. The sentence has to do with perception in general; it does not address the dog's ability to perceive depth.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. The author does not suggest that the dog might be interested in human perceptions in the same way that the author is curious about the dog's sensory experiences.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :
Choice (E) is incorrect. No real action is described; the dog and the author are only "admiring the view."
13
13. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer D :
Choice (D) is correct. The author can see that the dog is aware of the cat walking nearby, but the author cannot explain what this awareness is like from the dog's perspective.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. Line 43 does not address the difference between seeing and believing, as other parts of the passage do. The words "that" and "how" instead represent the gap in the author's knowledge of whether the dog is responding to a stimulus and what that response is like.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. The author considers only the dog's perspective.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. The author's guesswork about how the dog senses the cat is not "whimsical," or fanciful; it is thoughtful and serious.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :
Choice (E) is incorrect. Although this sentence suggests that sight alone can provide humans with a false interpretation of a situation, line 43 does not address the accuracy of theories that people may have about a dog's sensory experiences.
14
14. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

Choice (A) is correct. The last paragraph indicates that both the dog and the author can sense the cat's presence, but that the author's awareness depends on sight, while the dog's awareness is primarily linked to scent.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. Although the last paragraph indicates that human vision may be less useful in nature than a dog's "sense of scent," the author does not claim that humans are psychologically detached from the natural world.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. The author does not address fear at any point in the passage.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :
Choice (D) is incorrect. The last paragraph does not address the cat's perceptions in any way.

15. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Explanation for Correct Answer D :
Choice (D) is correct. Both Du Bois and Garvey were leaders in the Black community, but the passage mainly describes how differently the two men viewed racial issues.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :
Choice (A) is incorrect. While it is implied that Garvey's ideas constituted a kind of Black nationalism, this idea does not dominate the passage.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :
Choice (B) is incorrect. Although leaders often use their charm to gain popular support, this passage does not directly address whether or not Du Bois and Garvey were particularly charismatic.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :
Choice (C) is incorrect. The passage offers little information from Garvey's perspective. There are more details explaining why Du Bois was disdainful of Garvey's movement.
Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :
