It will be the debut appearance of karate at the Summer Olympics. Karate is one of five new sports added to the Olympic program specifically for 2020, rather than as a permanent sport. The karate competitions at the 2020 Olympics will feature eight events. Two karate disciplines will be featured: Kumite is the sparring discipline and will have three weight classes each for men and women; kata is the solo-form discipline and will have one event each for men and women. Competitors choose the kata to demonstrate from 102 kata that are recognized by the World Karate Federation. Competitors are not allowed to demonstrate the same Kata twice during the tournament. Each event will have 10 competitors. The three weight classes in Olympic competition for Kumite are in contrast to the five normally used by the World Karate Federation (WKF). The two lightest (-60kg and -67kg for men, -50kg and -55kg for women) will be combined into the Olympic categories of -67kg for men and -55kg for women. The middle categories (-75kg men, -61kg women) are unchanged, while the two heaviest categories (-84kg and +84kg for men, -68kg and +68kg for women) will be combined into +75kg for men and +61kg for women. In Kumite two competitors face each other in a matted competition area of 8m x 8m. Each match competes for 3 minutes unless one competitor amasses eight points more than their opponent. A competitor wins by amassing eight points more than their opponent or by gaining more points than their opponent in the allotted time of 3 minutes. In the event of a tie, the competitor who scored the first point is the winner. In the case of a scoreless bout, the winner will be declared by the decision of the five judges. Scores vary from one to three points. Ippon for 3 points, Waza-ari for 2 points and Yuko for 1 point. Penalties are divided into two categories. If 4 warnings are received in a category, the competitor is disqualified. A competitor can also be disqualified with less than 4 warnings for being deemed an act done maliciously.

Verbal Reasoning Reading ComprehensionVerbal reasoning - Question Types 2) Reading Comprehension ○ Provided with an incomplete statement or question ○ Have to choose one of four options that can be best concluded based on the passage ○ Use critical thinking and logical reasoning to decide the correct answerReading Comprehension Practice Question - 28 secondsFundamental to society, relationships and the manner in which we learn from other individuals and pass this knowledge down through generations, speech is a uniquely human capacity. Our capacity to produce speech, in contrast to the instinctive cries and shrieks that other species emit, can mainly be attributed to our ability to control the voice, using our vocal folds. Adriano Reis e Lameira and Robert Shumaker, researchers from Saint Andrew’s University have disproved a previously held belief regarding the limitations of the vocal capacities of great apes, by teaching orangutans at Indianapolis Zoo in the United States how to play the kazoo. This instrument falls into the category of membranophone, which differs from other wind instruments in that in order to produce a sound, the person playing it must hum or talk into it. When we do this, our vocal folds open and close and produce bursts of air which, in turn, produce vibrations in the membrane of the kazoo. Some of the primates were able to play the kazoo within a matter of minutes, succeeding in imitating the researchers’ variations of pitch and length of the sound. There is also proof of vocal control in wild apes. If an orangutan encounters a dangerous predator, they use hands and leaves to amplify their calls, making themselves seem bigger. Wild chimpanzees selectively notify leaders in their group to the presence of food and in a recent study, Reis e Lameira showed that orangutan mothers wait until a threat has safely passed before making an alarm call to their young. These studies demonstrate that great apes have the brain circuits in place for speech. However, what remains a mystery is why humans were able to develop this capacity while apes were not. Question: Which of the following statements is best supported by the information in the passage? A. The experiment about vocal control could be replicated with a clarinet. B. If one blows constantly into a kazoo, the instrument will not make noise. C. All of the captive orangutans displayed similarly quick rates of learning. D. The apes in the zoo soon learned to produce longer sounds independently.Poll ResultsPractice Question 2 Strategy 1) Work Backwards Question: Which of the following statements is best supported by the information in the passage?

Select the strongest argument from the statements below. A. Yes, outsourcing reduces employee loyalty, as workers are less likely to stay in a role that seems likely to be moved offshore. This makes holding onto skilled workers more difficult, ultimately hurting British companies’ profitability. B. Yes, providing jobs is an important contribution of British companies to the country they are based in, the infrastructure of which they rely on to function. As such it should be their duty to provide jobs for British workers first and foremost. C. No, outsourcing is a common practice in large companies which provides qualified labour at lower prices than can often be found at home. Forcing companies to hire British workers could therefore make them uncompetitive. D. No, without the option to cut costs by outsourcing many companies will become unprofitable and collapse, costing even more British jobs. Government subsidies for hiring British workers would therefore be a better option.Poll ResultsStrongest Argument Question Strategy - Sometimes it will not be obvious whether the correct answer is ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, so you may have to go through each option and rule them out at you go. - In this case, I would guess at an answer, flag the question for review and move on To protect British jobs, should international outsourcing (offshoring) by British companies be restricted?Strongest Argument Question Strategy To protect British jobs, should international outsourcing (offshoring) by British companies be restricted?
