ASVAB Section 8: Paragraph comprehension PDF 152 Questions

Any discussion of distinctive military capabilities would be incomplete without looking at their relationship to the Joint Service vision of the future. JV 2020 guides all the Services into the next century with its vision of future war fighting. JV 2020 sets forth four overarching operational concepts: dominant maneuver, precision engagement, focused logistics, and full-dimensional protection.

The aggregate of these four concepts, along with their interaction with information superiority and innovation, allows joint forces to dominate the full range of military operations from humanitarian assistance through peace operations to the highest intensity conflict.
According to the passage above, which of the following is not an operational concept?

  1. dominant maneuver
  2. focused logistics
  3. high intensity conflict
  4. precision engagement

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

High intensity conflict is listed as a type of military operation.



Any discussion of distinctive military capabilities would be incomplete without looking at their relationship to the Joint Service vision of the future. JV 2020 guides all the Services into the next century with its vision of future war fighting. JV 2020 sets forth four overarching operational concepts: dominant maneuver, precision engagement, focused logistics, and full-dimensional protection. Each of these operational concepts reinforces the others. The aggregate of these four concepts, along with their interaction with information superiority and innovation, allows joint forces to dominate the full range of military operations from humanitarian assistance through peace operations to the highest intensity conflict.
The document discussed in the above passage is primarily about ______________.

  1. military operations of the past
  2. present military operations
  3. military operations in the future
  4. training for future military operations

Genetics is a branch of science dealing with heredity. The field is concerned with how genes operate and the way genes are transmitted to offspring. Subdivisions in the field include cytogenetics, which is the study of the cellular basis of inheritance; microbial genetics, the study of inheritance in microbes; molecular genetics, the study of the biochemical foundation of inheritance; and human genetics, the study of how people inherit traits that are medically and socially important. Genetic counselors are primarily concerned with human genetics.
They advise couples and families on the chances of their offspring having specific genetic defects. In the passage above, cytogenetics is defined as ___________ .

  1. the study of the psychological impact of genetics
  2. the study of the cellular foundation of genetics
  3. the study of molecular genetics
  4. the study of human genetics

Answer(s): B

Subdivisions in the field include cytogenetics, which is the study of the cellular basis of inheritance; microbial genetics, the study of inheritance in microbes; molecular genetics, the study of the biochemical foundation of inheritance; and human genetics, the study of how people inherit traits that are medically and socially important. Genetic counselors are primarily concerned with human genetics.
They advise couples and families on the chances of their offspring having specific genetic defects. According to the passage above, genetics __________________.

  1. concerns how genes operate and how they’re passed along
  2. is a field of study populated by quacks, fakes, and frauds
  3. is a field of study only concerned with human genetics
  4. is a new field of study

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Nothing in the passage supports Choices "is a field of study populated by quacks, fakes, and frauds" or "is a new field of study."
Although human genetics is an important subfield of genetics, nothing in the passage suggests that it’s the only concern of geneticists.
Microbial genetics, as mentioned in the passage, is a subfield in genetics that has nothing to do with humans, so Choice "is a field of study only concerned with human genetics" is incorrect.
