The clubhouse model is one approach for assisting clients with mental illness in securing permanent employment. Typically, clients first practice job activities in the clubhouses from which the model derives its name. Having presumably honed their job skills, they then choose from a list of transitional jobs-part-time, temporary jobs obtained by the clubhouse staff in partnership with private employers. In these jobs, clients not only build further work experience, but also learn what kind of work they prefer. Generally speaking, only then are they steered toward permanent employment.
One criticism of this model focuses on the central importance of client choice. Many clients are reluctant to leave transitional jobs after growing accustomed to them. In addition, clients indicate strong preferences about their optimal jobs without exposure to clubhouses or transitional employment, and typically prefer jobs of their choice to those selected by others.
Supported employment, an alternative model, addresses these limitations by encouraging clients to immediately seek competitive employment. While it may seem intuitively improbable that the mentally ill can compete for mainstream jobs without special preparation, the evidence shows that supported employment leads to higher rates of competitive employment than the clubhouse model.

Question 1:
The passage suggests that the author believes which of the following about the clubhouse model?
Answer: (D) Its ultimate goal matches that of supported employment.
The passage states that the clubhouse model "steers" clients toward permanent employment, and the supported employment model "encourages clients to immediately seek competitive employment." Both models are working towards the same ultimate goal of securing "permanent employment" or "competitive employment" for clients with mental illness.
Question 2:
According to the passage, the clubhouse model involves all of the following activities by clients EXCEPT:
Answer: (A) making a list of temporary jobs for transitional employment.
According to the passage, the clubhouse model involves these activities by clients:
- "clients first practice job activities in the clubhouses" - (B) is a correct activity.
- "they then choose from a list of transitional jobs" - (D) is a correct activity (making choices about the jobs they perform). The staff makes the list, not the clients.
- "clients not only build further work experience, but also learn what kind of work they prefer" - (E) is a correct activity (working at temporary jobs).
- "Generally speaking, only then are they steered toward permanent employment." - (C) is a correct activity (finding permanent work).
The passage states that the "clubhouse staff" obtains the list of transitional jobs, so clients do not make the list themselves.
Question 3:
The primary purpose of the passage is to:
Answer: (D) discuss the clubhouse model and supported employment.
The passage primarily serves to describe and compare two different approaches to helping people with mental illness find employment. It first details the clubhouse model, including its steps and a criticism, and then introduces and describes an alternative, supported employment, highlighting its benefits. The central focus is on explaining both models and showing how they relate to one another.
