Q #1: But man is not destined to vanish. He can be killed, but he cannot be destroyed, because his soul is deathless and his spirit is irrepressible. Therefore, though the situation seems dark in the context of the confrontation between the superpowers, the silver lining is provided by amazing phenomenon that the very nations which have spent incalculable resources and energy for the production of deadly weapons are desperately trying to find out how they might never be used. They threaten each other, intimidate each other and go to the brink, but before the total hour arrives they withdraw from the brink.   In the author's opinion _________________

Q #2: 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.   Which of the following is NOT evidence of the author's credibility?

Q #3: Sonja,I think it's time for us to open a new location. We've been talking about doing it forever and I'm afraid that if we don't do it now, we'll never do it. I know it's a risky move, but the only way our business is going to grow is if we take calculated risks. Business has never been better, and our focus group data shows that people in Springdale would love to have one of our stores in their mall. If we do this right, we can be twice as profitable as we are now in three years. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Gabriela PS: We can even announce the expansion after that Channel 4 puff piece airs to take advantage of the attention we'll be getting!

A. Gabriela is Sonja's boss

B. Sonja is Gabriela's boss
