Two stylistic characteristics shaped the way Coltrane
(25)played the tenor saxophone, he favored playing fast runs

" where he raced faster and faster, pile-driving notes
into each other to suggest stacked harmonies
...

Three recordings illustrate Coltrane's energizing explorations

Here
(35)he played surging, lengthy solos built largely around
repeated motifs-an organizing principle unlike that of
free jazz saxophone player Ornette Coleman, who modulated or altered melodies in his solos
...
Here the sheets of sound, downbeat accents, repetitions, and great speed are part of each solo, and the
variety of the shapes of his phrases is unique
...
My
Favorite Things was another kind of watershed

Musically, the results were
astounding
...

(50) When Coltrane began recording for the Impulse! label,

A special mucous coating that serves as a chemical
camouflage allows clown fish to live among the deadly
tentacles of the unsuspecting sea anemone
...

The rigidly defined hierarchy of each clown-fish
community is dominated by a monogamous breeding pair
(10)consisting of the largest fish, a female, and the next largest
a male, attended by a fixed number of sexually immature
fish ranging in size from large to tiny
...
While
the community thus economizes on limited space and food
resources, life is risky for newly spawned clown fish
...

If, within three weeks, the defenseless larval clown fish
(20)locates a suitable anemone(either by pure chance or perhaps guided by chemicals secreted by the anemone), it may
survive
...

Though advantageous for established community mem(25)bers, the suspended and staggered maturation of juveniles
might seem to pose a danger to the continuity of the
community: there is only one successor for two breeding
fish
...
It
(30)would seem inevitable that reproduction must sometimes
have to halt, pending the chance arrival and maturation of a
larval fish of the appropriate sex
...
In experiments, vacancies have been contrived by removing an
(35)established fish from a community
...
Each remaining juvenile also grows somewhat,
and a minuscule newcomer drops in from the plankton
...
Within days, the
male's behavior alters and physiological transformation is
complete within a few months
...
Furthermore, the new mate has already proved its
ability to survive
...

It can be inferred from the passage that the clown fish
is able to survive in close association with the sea
anemone because the

clown fish
(B) tentacles of the sea anemone cannot grasp the
slippery clown fish
(C) sea anemone prefers other prey
(D) clown fish does not actually come within the
range of the sea anemone's tentacles
(E) clown fish has developed tolerance to the sea
anemone's poison
19
...

(A) be incapable of sexual transformation
(B) be vulnerable to predators
(C) have no reliable source of food
(D) have to lay their eggs in the open
(E) face competition from other clown fish

(D) juvenile clown fish had a high mortality rate
(E) both male clown fish and female clown fish were
highly territorial
21
...
Which of the following statements about newly hatched
clown fish can be inferred from the passage?
(A) They develop rapidly
(B) They remain close to the sea anemone occupied
by their parents
(C) They are more sensitive to chemical signals than
are adult clown fish
...

(D) Juvenile clown fish rarely reach maturity

recruiting solitary adult clown fish
