Part II: Banked Cloze
Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Many cultures have their own stories. They are each preserved in their own way, but one of the most common ways stories have survived for so many generations is through (31). This practice likely began in Ancient Greece as people gathered together and told tales of gods, goddesses, and their adventures.

Obviously, stories are told differently each time they are told. This is part of their charm. Stories are ultimately formed by the storytellers, who are free to include as little or as much (34) as they desire. A simple story about a boy travelling to the stream for a bucket of water could be very boring, or it could turn into an epic adventure that might take hours to tell.
For many myths and legends, the word of mouth tradition is the best way to hear them. Other mediums, such as books and films, just aren't a(n) (35) way to experience the stories. Their magic lies in the ability of a storyteller to create (36) suspense, drama, and humor through the telling.
Sadly, this art form is quickly becoming (37). Many children grow up listening to bedtime stories which is a form of the oral tradition, but sometime between childhood and adulthood, many become (38) to the form and seek out immediate gratification in movies and video games.

Part III: Reading Comprehension
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Here's a cautionary tale that should serve as a warning to every driver. One warm summer evening, a young woman went out for dinner with some of her friends. Let's call this young woman Susan. Susan and her friends stayed for a few drinks after dinner, and, before they knew it, it's gotten quite late. The friends paid their bill, walked out to the parking lot and their cars, and said their goodbyes to one another.
Susan got into her car and began to drive away. Her home was off in the country, so she soon found herself driving along a deserted highway. After a few miles, she noticed a pair of headlights in her rear-view mirror. The other car approached very quickly with its turn signal on. Since there were no other cars on the road, it was going to pass her. Suddenly, the car swerved back and stayed very close to Susan's car. The headlights shone brightly in her rear-view mirror, and then the lights started to flash.
At this point, Susan wais getting a little scared. The other car was dangerously close, the lights kept flashing—on, off, bright, dim—and the car kept swerving back and forth behind her. Susan struggled to keep her eyes on the road in front of her and fought the urge to look in her rear-view mirror at the bright lights of the car following her. Finally, she saw the sign for her exit and turned off the highway. However, the car continued to follow her and continued to flash its lights. Susan was beginning to be terrified.
She took an indirect route to her house, making many turns. Through every turn, stop sign, and red light, the other car continued to follow. She knew she had no choice. She eventually drove to her house and pulled into her driveway. Of course, the other car followed her and came to a stop right behind her. She knew her only hope was to make a run for it and try to get inside her house so she could get to a phone. She opened the car door and ran as fast as she could. As she ran, she heard another voice scream, "Lock your door and call the police!"
From her window, Susan could see that the driver of the other car didn't leave. She was scared stiff. When the police finally arrived, the horrible truth was revealed. The man in the other car was actually trying to save her! As he pulled up behind her on the highway, his headlights illuminated the dark figure of a man in the back seat of Susan's car. The man in the back seat kept trying to rise up and hurt Susan, but every time the headlights flashed, he crouched back down to stay out of sight.
