In this section, you will read several passages. Each one is followed by several questions about it. For questions 1-50,

of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter you have chosen. Answer all questions in the
following passage basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.

Questions 1 through 8 are based on this following passage

In just one year, a third of the time engineers wanted, Egypt has shifted enough sand to
allow more and bigger ships to pass more swiftly through a crucial artery of global trade. As a political
stunt it is big, too. Since coming to power in July 2013 President Abdel Fattah Al Sisal has offered an
unspoken bargain: in exchange for shrinking political freedoms he would bring stability and progress.
Small wonder his government declared a holiday for the lavish opening on August 6 th of the New Suez
Canal, as it dubs its project; to bolster pride in the achievement, its religious-affairs ministry instructed
mosque sermons to cite the prophet Muhammad’s digging of a trench to defend medina from
attackers.
Egyptian officials claim that the $8.2 billion project, which expands capacity to 97 ships
per day, will more than double annual revenues to some $13.5 billion by 2023. That, however, would
require yearly growth of some 10%, a rosy projection given that in the entire period from 2000 to
2013 world seaborne shipping grew by just 37%, according to UNCTAD. A recent forecast from the IMF
 suggests that in the decade up to 2016 the annual rate of growth for global merchandise trade will
have averaged 3.4%.

 Questions 9 through 18 are based on this following passage
Sequoyah, a Cherokee also known as George Guess, Guest, or Gist, developed a
Cherokee syllabary that brought literacy to his people. In his private like Sequoyah sought
solitude, partly because of is lameness, but also because he wished to develop his talents as a
silversmith engraver. Sequoyah’s involvement with engraving spurred his intense interest in
“talking leaves”, the term he used for written material, and in classical and European writing
conversations. Though opposed in his efforts by his first wife and neighbors, he began to create
his writing method in 1809 and finished his arduous task ten years later, with assistance from
his young daughter. He started with a pictograph system and ended up with a system using true
phonetic symbols.
Through not an English speaker, Sequoyah recognized the power that written
speech, or ‘talk on paper” could bring to those who had previously only transmitted ideas
orally. In 1821 he introduced his syllabary, representing consonant-vowel combinations, six
vowels, and the consonant s-. The initial Sequoyah an composition deal with the boundary lines
between the Cherokee nation, Georgia, and Tennessee. A short time later Sequoyah brought a
suit in Indian court, held a Chattooga (northeastern Georgia), and presented his case by reading
aloud from a document written in his syllabary. The audience was amazed and news of his
invention spread quickly. Within months, the Cherokees had attained literacy. This was
impressive not only for Sequoyah’s ability to instill Cherokee literacy, but also for the efficiency
with which the Cherokees learned the syllabary.

Questions 19 through 28 are based on this following passage

Maryland, named after England’s Catholic queen Henrietta Maria, was

first settled in 1634. Unlike the religious experiments to the North, economic
opportunity was the draw for many Maryland colonists. Consequently, most
immigrants did not cross the Atlantic in family units but a individuals. The first
inhabitants were a mixture of country gentlemen (most catholic) and workers and
artisans (most protestant. This mixture would surely doom the catholic experiment.
Invariably, there are more the poor than aristocrats in any give society, and the
Catholics soon found themselves in the minority.
The geography of Maryland, like that of her southern neighbor Virginia,
was conducive of growing tobacco. The desire to make profits from tobacco soon led to
the need for low cost labor. As a result, the number of indentured servants greatly
expanded and the social structure of Maryland reflected this change. But the influx in
immigration was not reflected in larger population growth because, faced with frequent
battles with malaria and typhoid, life expectancy in Maryland was about 10 years less
than in New England.
Fearful that the protestant masses might restrict catholic liberties, the
house of delegates passed the Maryland act of toleration in 1649. This act granted
religious freedom to all Christians. Like roger Williams in Rhode island and William Penn
in Pennsylvania, Maryland thus experimented with laws protecting religious liberty.
Unfortunately, protestants swept the Catholics out of the legislature within a decade,
and religious strife ensured. Still, the act of toleration is an important part of the
colonial legacy of religious freedom that will culminate in the first amendment in the
American cill of right.

Questions 29 through 36 are based on this following passage

The age of reason, as it was called, was spreading rapidly across Europe. In the late
17thcentury, scientists like Isaac Newton and writers like John Locke were challenging
the old order. Newton’s law of gravity and motion described the world in terms of
natural laws beyond any spiritual force. In the wake of political turmoil in England,
Locke asserted the right of a people to change a government that did not protect
natural rights of life, liberty and property. People were beginning to doubt the
existence of a god who could predestine human beings to eternal damnation and
empower a tyrant for a king. Europe would be forever changed by these ideas.
In America, intellectuals were reading these ideas as well. On their side of
the Atlantic, enlightened ideas of liberty and progress had a chance to flourish without
the shackles of Old Europe. Religious leaders began to change their old dogmatic
positions. They began to emphasize the similarities between the Anglican Church and
the Puritan Congregationalists rather than the differences. Even cotton Mather, the
Massachusetts minister who wrote and spoke so convincingly bout the existence of
witches advocated science to immunize citizens against smallpox. Harvard ministers
became so liberal that Yale College was founded in New Haven in 1707 in an attempt to
retain old Calvinist ideas. This attempt failed and the entire faculty except one
converted to the church of England in 1722. By the end of the century, many New
England ministers would become Unitarians, doubting even the divinity of Christ.

Questions 37 through 44 are based on this following passage

Much of African history is known through oral tradition. Folk tales passed down
through the generations on the African continent were similarly dispatched in African
American communities. Some did learn the written word. Poet and slave Phillip
Wheatley is still studied. Her writings vividly depict the slave experience on the eve of
the American revolution.
Many devout brutish colonist saw a conversion of slave to Christianity as
a divine duty. Consequently, the Christian religion was widely adopted by slaves. The
practice of Christianity by slave differed from white Christians. Musical traditions drew
from rhythmic African and melodic European models. The religious beliefs of many
African tribes merged with elements of Christianity to form voodoo. Spirituals also
demonstrate this merger.
Despite laws regulating slave literacy, African Americans learned many
elements of the English Language out of sheer necessity. Since the planters’ children
were often raised by slave, their dialects, values and customs were often transmitted
back. This reflexive relationship is typical of cultural fusion throughout American
History.

Question 45 through 50 are based on the following passage

John Peter Zenger was a German immigrant who printed a publication called The new York journal. This
publication harshly pointed out the actions of the corrupt royal governor, William S. Cosby. It accused the
government of rigging elections and allowing the French enemy to explore new York harbor. It accused the
governor of an assortment of crimes and basically labeled him an idiot. Although Zenger merely printed the
articles, he was hauled into jail. The authors were anonymous and Zenger would not name them.
In 1733, Zenger was accused of Libel, a legal term whose meaning is quite different for us today than
it was for him.in this day it was libel when you published information that was opposed to the government. Truth
or falsity were irrelevant. He never denied printing the pieces. The judge therefore felt that the verdict was never
in question. Something very surprising happened, however.
The first jury was packed with individuals on Cosby’s payroll. Throughout this process, Zenger’s wife
 Anna kept the presses rolling. He reports resulted in replacing Cosby’s jury with a true jury of Zenger’s peer.
When the trial began and Zenger’s new attorney began his defense, a stir fluttered through the
courtroom. The most famous lawyer in the colonies, Andrew Hamilton of Philadelphia, stepped up to defend
Zenger. Hamilton admitted that Zenger printed the changes and demanded the prosecution to prove them false.
In a stirring appeal to the jury, Hamilton pleaded for his new client’s release. ‘it is not the cause of one poor
printer”, he claimed, “but the cause of liberty.” The judge ordered the jury to convict Zenger if they believed he
printed the stories. But the jury returned in less than ten minutes with a verdict of not guilty.
Cheers filled the courtroom and soon spread throughout the countryside. Zenger and Hamilton were
hailed as heroes. Another building block of liberty was in place. Although true freedom of the press was not
known until the passage of the first amendment, newspaper publishers felt freer to print their honest views. As
the American revolution approached, this freedom would become ever more vital
