in economic life, nor are they very much alike in any economic sense. All that nations really have in common is the political fact of their sovereignty. Indeed, the failure of national governments to control economic forces suggest that nations are irrelevant to promoting economic success.  \nAccording to the paragraph, the economic power of nations is:  \n[http://www.gratisexam.com/](http://www.gratisexam.com/)  \nA. controlled by political and military success.  \nB. the basis of their political success.  \nC. limited to a few powerful nations.  \nD. relatively unimportant.  \nCorrect Answer: D  \nSection: (none)  \nExplanation  \nExplanation/Reference:  \nQUESTION 2  \nFrom a building designer's standpoint, three things that make a home livable are the client, the building site, and the amount of money the client has to spend.

For instance, on one oasis in the Sahara Desert the amount of water necessary for each date palm tree has been carefully determined. How much water should each tree be given?  \nA. no water at all  \nB. exactly the amount required  \nC. water on alternate days  \nD. water only if it is healthy  \nCorrect Answer: B  \nSection: (none)  \nExplanation  \nExplanation/Reference:  \nQUESTION 5  \nA thin transparent layer of oxide protects the metal titanium against corrosion. The same thin layer attracts artists interested in making their art with the help of technology. By using heat or electricity, an artist can thicken the oxide layer and thereby turn the metal a range of vivid colors. According to the passage, some artists work with titanium because it  \n[http://www.gratisexam.com/](http://www.gratisexam.com/)  \n[A. is](A. is) transparent  \nB. does not corrode  \nC. generates its own heat  \nD. can assume a variety of colors  \nCorrect Answer: D  \nSection: (none)  \nExplanation  \nExplanation/Reference:  \nQUESTION 6  \nThey returned to the beach, where blankets spotted the slope to the water.
