Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader’s Digest to test our vocabulary.

Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out ―It pays to Enrick Your Word Power‖ first when the Digest comes each month. I am

impressed with that idea, word power. Reader’s Digest knows the power that words have to move people to entertain, inform and inspire. The Digest editors know that the bid word isn‘t always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: ―Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.‖ Nineteen words, only two of then more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That‘s usually how it is with Reader’s Digest. Small and simple can be profound.

As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I‘ve been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep then fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like ―hope‖, ―guts‖, ―faith‖, ―dreams‖. Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America. Don‘t get me wrong. I‘m not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle—if it‘s the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It‘s a ―secret‖ that I hope I never forget.
