22. It can be inferred that which of the following is most

　　likely to be among the “issues” mentioned in line 38？

　　（A） Why has the work of Griffith， a woman writer

　　who was popular in her own century， been

　　excluded from the canon？

　　（B） In what ways did Griffith's work reflect the polit-

　　ical climate of the eighteenth century？

　　（C） How was Griffith's work received by literary

　　critics during the eighteenth century？

　　（D） How did the error in the title of Griffith's play

　　come to be made？

　　（E） How did critical reception of Griffith's work

　　affect the quantity and quality of that work？

　　23. It can be inferred that the author of the passage con-

　　siders traditional scholarly methods courses to be

　　（A） irrelevant to the work of most students

　　（B） inconsequential because of their narrow focus

　　（C） unconcerned about the accuracy of reference

　　sources

　　（D） too superficial to establish important facts about

　　authors

　　（E） too wide-ranging to approximate genuine scholarly

　　activity

　　Experiments show that insects can function as pollinators

　　of cycads， rare， palmlike tropical plants. Furthermore， cycads

　　removed from their native habitats-and therefore from

　　insects native to those habitats-are usually infertile. Nev-

　　（5） ertheless， anecdotal reports of wind pollination in cycads

　　cannot be ignored. The structure of cycads male cones is

　　quite consistent with the wind dispersal of pollen， clouds

　　of which are released from some of the larger cones. The

　　male cone of Cycas circinalis， for example， sheds almost

　　（10）100 cubic centimeters of pollen， most of which is probably

　　dispersed by wind. Still， many male cycad cones are com-

　　paratively small and thus produce far less pollen. Further-

　　more， the structure of most female cycad cones seems incon-

　　sistent with direct pollination by wind. Only in the Cycas

　　（15）genus are the females' ovules accessible to airborne pollen，

　　since only in this genus are the ovules surrounded by a

　　loose aggregation of megasporophylls rather than by a tight

　　cone.

　　24.According to the passage， the size of a male cycad

　　cone directly influences which of the following？

　　（A） The arrangement of the male cone's structural

　　elements

　　（B） The mechanism by which pollen is released from

　　the male cone.

　　（C） The degree to which the ovules of female cycads

　　are accessible to airborne pollen

　　（D） The male cone's attractiveness to potential insect

　　pollinators

　　（E） The amount of pollen produced by the male cone
