In 1943, the war in the Pacific raged on. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt went to rally the troops' spirits, despite the disapproval of military command. Roosevelt planned a grueling itinerary. She visited several islands and hundreds of wounded in her first 6 days. The indefatigable First Lady inspected Navy hospitals, delivered a speech, attended receptions, and visited convalescing officers, all within 12 hours of her arrival. She lifted spirits among the wounded and morale among the troops. She continued her exhausting tour for a month, speaking to every patient in troop hospitals and taking down addresses to contact family members. Roosevelt traveled non-stop, risked her life, and greeted the last patient she saw with the same heartfelt sincerity as the first. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the passage?

A. Eleanor Roosevelt did not enjoy giving oral speeches to troops.

B. Eleanor Roosevelt hand-wrote notes to every troop's family.

C. Eleanor Roosevelt became First Lady before the war in the Pacific ended.

D. Eleanor Roosevelt was present during most battles in Asia during WWII.

Answer Explanation:

The passage suggests that Eleanor Roosevelt became First Lady before the war in the Pacific ended, as it mentions her visiting the troops and wounded during the ongoing war in the Pacific in 1943. This implies that she was First Lady during the war's continuation.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #1: On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday of Groundhog Day, a day of hope that winter is over and spring is beginning. This tradition has been officially observed in the U.S. since the 1800s and is believed to have developed from European folk traditions in which a bear, fox, badger, or even hedgehog would serve as the symbolic meteorologist. Although other cultures and towns observe Groundhog Day (or something similar), the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania takes special pride in being home to the one true forecasting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. At the turn of the twentieth century, townspeople formed the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club to perpetuate the joyful rituals and events surrounding Groundhog Day. Over the years, these events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball. Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather-forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow. If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come, and Punxsutawney Phil goes back to bed. However, if he does not see his shadow, Punxsutawney Phil takes this as a sign that spring has arrived, and he remains above ground. Of course, common sense tells us that February 2 is too early for spring to begin and that although animals may be attuned to various elements of nature from which humans might learn, they are unlikely to act on their instincts based on a schedule set by a Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, a visit to Pennsylvania to see Punxsutawney Phil and all of the fun he inspires each year might just provide the touch of hope needed to reach the end of winter Which of the following pairs of search terms entered into a search engine with the phrase "Groundhog Day" is likely to produce information about the origin of Groundhog Day?

A. Habitat and diet

D. Holiday and festivities

Answer Explanation

Q #2: Letter from the Chair of Elkinsville Ecological Society Many of you have heard about the proposed northward expansion of the interstate, which currently ends just south of Elkinsville. In the recent debate over how this work will go forward, the focus has been on weighing economic costs and benefits. Indeed, many local politicians claim to favor the project because it will bring jobs in the short term and more visitors to Elkinsville in the long term. These politicians also argue that the proposed plan is the least environmentally damaging way to expand the highway farther upstate. This cannot be true, however, since the proposed expansion involves not just the widening of existing roads, but also the construction of more than a dozen miles of new-terrain highway. Which of the following statements can be supported by evidence from the passage?

A. There are no Elkinsville Environmental Society members among the city's politicians.

B. Politicians in Elkinsville will win their efforts to approve the northern expansion of the interstate highway.

C. The Elkinsville Ecological Society will continue to oppose the northern expansion of the interstate.

D. A detailed environmental study of the northern expansion of the interstate has been conducted by the Elkinsville Ecological Society.

Answer Explanation

The statement that can be supported by evidence from the passage is that "The Elkinsville Ecological Society will continue to oppose the northern expansion of the interstate." This can be inferred from the passage's focus on the Chair of the Elkinsville Ecological Society addressing the society's concerns about the environmental impact of the proposed highway expansion and the assertion that the proposed plan is not the least environmentally damaging option.
