Question: 259

5. This passage can best be described as

  • A. a biography
  • B. a research report
  • C. propaganda
  • D. an editorial

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. The passage reports on the work of agricultural research scientists as they attempt to breed nutrient-rich carrots. It is not the story of someone’s life, so it cannot be a biography. It is not written for the purpose of promoting some doctrine or cause, so it does not fall into the category of propaganda. It is not primarily an expression of the opinion of the author, so it is not an editorial.
