The Artisan’s Palette
Playing now as part of the university’s international film festival, The Artisan’s Palette offers a contemplative alternative to blockbuster spectacle.
Set in Montclair, France—a beautiful village marked by economic decline—the film follows Elise Dupont, a painter confronting creative stagnation. Her struggle intensifies with the arrival of Marc, a self-described photographer whose shadowy motives become apparent even as he strives to earn Elise’s trust.
Themes of authenticity and deception permeate the narrative, underscored by striking cinematography that contrasts the vivid colors of Elise’s canvases with the muted tones of her daily life. While deliberate pacing and occasional narrative drift may challenge viewers accustomed to rapid action, the film excels in character depth.
Isabelle Laurent delivers a nuanced portrayal of Elise, balancing vulnerability and resolve, while Jean-Pierre Lemoine’s enigmatic Marc sustains tension throughout. For audiences drawn to character-driven storytelling and visual artistry, this work offers a richly textured exploration of ambition and identity.
25
Which of the following is the most accurate summary of the film review?
The film is visually uninteresting because of its muted palette.
The film’s strong points are its character portrayal and cinematography.
The film is likely to become a blockbuster.
The film succeeds at portraying the economic issues confronted by artists.
26
According to the review, the film might not appeal to audiences for which of the following reasons?
Its slow pace
Its lack of authenticity
Its focus on the art world
Lemoine’s acting style
27
What does the review suggest about Marc?
He wants to help Elise resolve her struggles with painting.
He is in Montclair to photograph Elise for a magazine.
He is trying to deceive Elise.
He is a better artist than Elise is.

Decision-Making in Groups
Group decision-making is often praised for its potential to foster creativity and innovation through diverse perspectives. However, this collaborative strength can paradoxically become a liability when the pursuit of consensus suppresses critical thinking. A well-known example is the phenomenon of “groupthink,” whereby individuals, fearing conflict or exclusion, withhold dissenting opinions. This can result in decisions that are not only irrational but also poorly aligned with the group’s original goals.
One might argue that groupthink is simply a failure of leadership or facilitation, yet even in well-structured environments, the pressure to conform can subtly influence behavior. Interestingly, some studies suggest that groups composed of individuals with varied backgrounds and viewpoints are less prone to groupthink, though this diversity can also introduce friction that slows decision-making. Alternatively, some theorists propose that the issue lies not in consensus-seeking itself, but in the lack of mechanisms to encourage constructive disagreement. For instance, assigning a “devil’s advocate” role or using anonymous feedback tools can help surface hidden concerns.
Ultimately, while collaboration holds immense promise, its success depends on deliberate strategies to balance unity with intellectual rigor. Without such safeguards, the very process meant to enhance group cohesion may inadvertently undermine it.
31
The passage mentions “well-structured environments” primarily to
highlight the role of leadership in fostering good organization
emphasize the difference between leadership and facilitation
describe groups in which there will be the least pressure to conform
show that good leadership does not eliminate social pressures
32
The passage suggests which of the following about “individuals with varied backgrounds and viewpoints”?
They may help reduce the tendency to suppress dissenting opinions.
They are more likely to agree quickly on important decisions.
They tend to avoid conflict by deliberately seeking consensus.
They often struggle to be heard in structured environments.
33
The word “surface” in the passage is closest in meaning to
promote
eliminate
question
identify
34
The passage suggests which of the following about “intellectual rigor”?
It emerges naturally in diverse groups without intervention.
It is less important than achieving consensus in decision – making.
It can be promoted by avoiding disagreement within the group.
It requires intentional strategies to be attained in collaborative settings.
35
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a possible cause of groupthink?
Group members’ fear of conflict or exclusion
Group members’ pressure on each other to conform
Group members’ lack of experience in decision – making
Group members’ inability to promote constructive disagreement

Questions 11-15 of 15
Social Networks and Influence
Computational sociology studies how social networks—like friendships, professional connections, or online communities—affect how people think and act. Instead of just drawing diagrams of who is connected to whom, researchers now look more closely at how frequent interactions shape behavior. If someone regularly chats with a group of friends who share strong opinions about climate change, they may gradually adopt similar views. These influences are especially strong when the conversations are emotionally charged or align with the person’s values.
Interestingly, it is not always the most famous or powerful people who have the biggest impact. Everyday conversations—like repeated exchanges between coworkers—can be more influential than a single message from a celebrity or expert. Researchers use computational models to analyze how messages spread. An accurate model can predict which types of messages are likely to spread widely.
Still, predicting human behavior is incredibly complex. People are shaped by their culture, social norms, and personal experiences, which makes it hard to build models that work universally. For example, a message that spreads quickly in one country might fall flat in another due to different cultural values. The real challenge lies in understanding how all these subtle factors interact to drive large-scale changes in behavior.
11
Identify the sentence in paragraph 1 that illustrates how social network dynamics can affect personal beliefs. Select the sentence to make your choice.
12
According to the passage, computational sociologists study
how having shared opinions strengthens a friendship
why it is important to develop complex diagrams of network connections
why emotionally charged conversations are ineffective at changing opinions
how human behavior is affected by frequent interactions
13
The word “incredibly” in the passage is closest in meaning to
generally
extremely
somewhat
often
14
According to the passage, what makes it difficult to model human behavior?
The interaction of various factors that play a role in human behavior
The rapid spread of messages from one population to another
The frequent movement of humans among countries with different cultural values
The lack of cooperation among researchers from different cultural backgrounds

Professor Gupta
In today’s world, the Internet floods us with news from countless sources. On one hand, this means we can access diverse viewpoints and stay updated instantly, which can broaden our understanding of the world. On the other hand, not all information is accurate, leading to confusion and, sometimes, false beliefs, which may deepen divisions among people. What do you think? Is the proliferation of online news sources making people more informed or contributing to misinformation and polarization?
Claire
I think sensationalized reporting online does more harm than good. Many outlets publish biased articles just to get clicks, and this can mislead readers and fuel division. News coverage is no longer focused on informing the consumer; it’s often more about what grabs attention, even if it is at the cost of accuracy and unity.
Paul
In my opinion, it’s up to individuals to learn how to navigate the sea of information better. We must learn to identify credible sources and ignore the rest. This skill is essential in today’s world. If we learn how to distinguish between what’s credible and what’s sensational and choose the credible sources, we eliminate the market for clickbait.
