Read the passage: "For centuries, the spice trade shaped global politics far more than most people today realize. Spices such as pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg were once so valuable in Europe that they were sometimes used as currency or even as a measure of wealth comparable to gold. This extraordinary value stemmed largely from geography: many of the most sought-after spices grew only in specific regions of South and Southeast Asia, forcing European traders to rely on long, dangerous routes controlled by intermediaries. The desire to bypass these intermediaries and access spices directly was a major motivation behind several famous voyages of exploration, including those seeking a sea route to Asia around Africa. Portuguese and later Dutch traders eventually established direct maritime routes, dramatically lowering spice prices in Europe and shifting economic power toward nations with strong navies. Ironically, the very success of these expeditions gradually reduced the extreme value of spices, since increased supply naturally drove prices down, illustrating how economic scarcity, not the spices themselves, had driven so much of history's ambition." Which of the following claims is NOT supported by the passage (even though it may sound plausible)?

אCinnamon was originally discovered and cultivated in Europe before being exported to Asia
בThe historical value of spices, driven by their geographic scarcity, was a major force behind European exploration and shifts in global economic power
גspices were once so valuable in Europe that they were sometimes used as currency
דThe extreme historical value of spices, rooted in their geographic scarcity, drove exploration and shifted global economic power once direct trade routes were established

הפתרון

The claim "Cinnamon was originally discovered and cultivated in Europe before being exported to Asia" is not supported by the passage - the passage presents a more careful, limited claim, not this broader one.

שאלה 2

Read the passage: "Impostor syndrome, a psychological pattern in which a person doubts their own accomplishments and harbors a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, was first described by psychologists in the late 1970s, initially based on observations of high-achieving women. Since then, research has shown that the experience is far more widespread, affecting people across genders, professions, and levels of accomplishment, including some of the most objectively successful individuals in their fields. What makes impostor syndrome particularly puzzling is that it does not correlate strongly with actual competence: highly skilled individuals often report feeling like impostors just as intensely as those with more modest achievements, suggesting the phenomenon has more to do with how people interpret their success than with the success itself. Some psychologists argue that impostor feelings can, ironically, coexist with genuine achievement precisely because capable people tend to have a clearer view of how much they still do not know, making their own accomplishments feel less impressive by comparison to the vast scope of their field." Which of the following claims is NOT supported by the passage (even though it may sound plausible)?

אImpostor syndrome has been shown to improve a person's long-term career performance
בimpostor syndrome was first described by psychologists in the late 1970s, based on observations of high-achieving women
גImpostor syndrome affects people regardless of actual competence, and may paradoxically be linked to a deeper awareness of one's own knowledge limitations
דImpostor syndrome is a widespread psychological pattern that does not correlate with actual competence, and may even be linked to a clearer awareness of one's own knowledge gaps
