Q #1: Attempted Assassination of Secretary Seward DETAILS OF THE DREADFUL TRAGEDY Official War Department, Washington April 15, 1:30 AM. Maj. Gen. Dis. This evening at about 9:30 PM. at Ford's Theatre, the President, while sitting in his private box with Mrs. Lincoln, Mr. Hamis, and Major Rathburn was shot by an assassin, who suddenly entered the box and appeared behind the President. The assassin then. leaped upon the stage, brandishing a large dagger or knife, and made his escape in the rear of the theatre. The pistol ball entered the back of the President's head and penetrated nearly through the head The wound is mortal The President has been insensible ever since it was inflicted, and is now dying. The pretense of having a prescription, was shown to the Secretary's sick chamber. The assassin immediately rushed to the bed, and inflicted two or three stabs on the throat and two on the face. It is hoped the wounds may not be mortal. My apprehension is that they will prove fatal. The nurse alarmed Mr. Frederick Seward, who was in an adjoining room, and hastened to the door of his father's room, when he met the assassin, who inflicted upon him one or more dangerous wounds. The recovery of Frederick Seward is doubtful. It is not probable that the President will live throughout the night. Gen. Grant and wife were advertised to be at the theatre this evening, but he started to Burlington at 6 o'clock this evening. At a Cabinet meeting at which Gen. Grant was present, the subject of the state of the country and the prospect of a speedy peace was discussed. The President was very cheerful and hopeful, and spoke very kindly of Gen. Lee and others of the Confederacy, and of the establishment of government in Virginia. All the members of the Cabinet except Mr. Seward are now in attendance upon the President. I have seen Mr. Seward, but he and Frederick were both unconscious. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. The underlined word mortal means:
A. Recuperative
B. Painful
C. Fatal
D. Risky
Answer Explanation
The wound is mortal The President has been insensible ever since it was inflicted, and is now dying.

Q #4: Delaying their initial entry to school can cause some children to actually fall behind their peers in learning. Some studies have shown differing early childhood academic achievement results when comparing children from low-income families with those living in middle-income homes Children from low- income homes tend to begin school with weaker skills than their peers from more advantaged backgrounds.

This practice may actually backfire for some of those children from low-income households. During the additional year at home, these children are thought to miss opportunities to cultivate the basic skills that they could develop while taking part in a learning environment-skills suggested to be absent in some low-income families. Which of the following summarizes the main argument of the passage?
A. Children cannot receive an adequate education at home.
B. Children from low-income homes should begin school a year early

Q #5: Mahatma Ghandi was an inspirational leader who made a lot of sacrifices for the people of India. In 1921, Gandhi took charge of the Indian National Congress, a group of thirteen men in the Indian government who fought discrimination and unfair taxation against farmers and urban laborers. Using the nonviolent tactic of civil disobedience, Gandhi and his followers bravely resisted British control over Indian life, choosing not to follow unfair, discriminatory laws and policies. The British were not happy to see Ghandi and his followers rebelling in this way. The British responded to this resistance by strengthening their military presence in India, often at the cost of human lives. While Ghandi was fighting to gain more freedom for the people of India, the British government was, often violently, suppressing it. For his effort, Gandhi was eventually imprisoned in 1942 for his "radical" beliefs, but he refused to recognize violence as a means of fighting the British. He gained international attention for his hunger strikes, refusing to eat until the British changed their unjust policies. What is the author's primary argument in the passage?
A. Gandhi used non-violent protests to successfully alert the world to unfair practices of the British against his country in India
B. Gandhi went too far in his protests and was subsequently imprisoned by the British authorities in India
C. Gandhi started a congress in India to pass legislation to fix unfair labor policies in the country
D. Gandhi was probably the most effective historical figure to use the tactic of a hunger strike
Answer Explanation

Q #6: Technology is rapidly expanding the scope of capabilities for both professional and personal use; such is the case with smart phones. Professionals now have devices available to them capable of digital media, internet access, phone communication, multi-person scheduling and office tools for documents and presentations. Business people that are often mobile may maximize the use of these critical features on smart phones. Individuals who simply enjoy the luxury of multi-function devices often use these devices for frivolous pursuits such as downloading catchy ring tones, instant messaging about the latest gossip and looking up the world record for most cans crushed on one's head during the Superbowl. This fusion of capabilities and increased availability of such devices could be a sign of a growing blend in society between work and personal life, or individuals could simply be taking a luxurious approach to their connectivity in personal lives. The term "frivolous" implies that the author _____________
A. acknowledges the diverse uses of smart phones
B. questions the balance between productive and leisure uses of technology
C. recognizes the ubiquity of smart phone ownership
D. acknowledges the constant evolution of smart phone technology
Answer Explanation

Choice B aligns with the idea that the author is raising questions about the balance between productive (work-related) and leisure (personal) uses of technology, which indirectly addresses the concept of "frivolous" in the context of smartphone usage.
