Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
There are two methods of fighting, the one by law, the other by force; the
first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is
often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is, therefore,
necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man. This
was covertly taught to rulers by ancient writers, who related how Achilles and
many others of those ancient princes were given to Chiron the centaur to be
brought up and educated under his discipline. The parable of this semi animal,
semi human teacher is meant to indicate that a prince must know how to use both
natures, and that the one without the other is not durable. A prince, being thus
obliged to know well how to act as a beast, must imitate the fox, and the lion,
for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox annot defend himself
from wolves. Those that wish to be only lions do not understand this. Therefore,
a prudent ruler ought not to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his
interest, and when the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist. If
men were all good, this precept would not be good ; but as they are bad, and
would not observe their faith with you, so you are not bound to keep faith with
them. Nor have legitimate grounds ever failed a prince who wished to show
colorable excuse for the nonfulfilment of his promise. Of this one could furnish
an infinite number of examples, and show how many times peace has been broken,
and how many promises rendered worthless, by the faithlessness of princes, and
those that have best been able to imitate the fox have succeeded best. But it is
necessary to be able to disguise this character well, and to be a great feigner
and dissembler, and men are so simple and so ready to obey present necessities,
that the one who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be
deceived.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
The forest from which Man takes his timber is the tallest and most
impressive plant community on Earth. In terms of Man's brief life it appears
permanent and unchanging, save for the seasonal growth and fall of the leaves,
but to forester it represents the climax of a long succession of events. No
wooded landscape we see today has been forest for all time. Plants have minimum
requirements of temperature and moisture and, in ages past, virtually every part
of Earth's surface has at some time been either too dry or too cold for plants
to survive. However, as soon as climatic conditions change in favour of plant
life, a fascinating sequence of changes occurs, called a primary succession.
