Choice C: While the passage mentions Lockheed Martin's involvement in the development of the Atlas V program, it does not provide enough information to conclude that "Lockheed Martin is leading the development of the Atlas V program."

Choice D: The passage does not provide information about the cost of the Delta IV Heavy program. Therefore, we cannot reasonably infer that it was more costly than anticipated based on the given information.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #1: Aunt Suzanne, I have a few minutes before I get on the bus from Galway back to Dublin and wanted to tell you how my class trip to Ireland is going. We just spent 2 days on inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands, which are just off the central west coast of Ireland. We took a ferry from Galway, a ride that takes about an hour and was quite gray and stormy. For an island that is only about 12 square miles, there is a lot to do and see on this Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products are sold. The Aran Islands are known for their wool because sheep thrive here and generations have used woolen sweaters and hats to survive long cold days of fishing on the open sea. In fact, I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The healthy pattern is an interesting combination of twists and braids and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful example. The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient rums, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as the “wormhole,” a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves ad looks like houses of a terrible serpent. The wormhole will be difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only spoke Galect. Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier fame. Which of the following details supports the inference that Eva’s family has iris roots?

A. Eva is communicating with her aunt while on a class trip to Ireland

B. Eva has found an example of the Healy knitting pattern for her aunt

C. Eva is talking a lot of pictures while on her trip to Ireland

D. Eva is learning about the culture and traditions in Ireland

Q #3: Reading Passage: The widow Elsa was as complete a contrast to her third bridegroom, in everything but age, as can be conceived. Compelled to relinquish her first marriage after her husband died in the war, she married a man twice her years to whom she became an exemplary wife despite their having nothing in common, and by whose death she was left in possession of a splendid fortune, though she gave it away to the church. Next, a southern gentleman, considerably younger than herself, succeeded to her hand, and carried her to Charleston, where, after many uncomfortable years, she found herself again a widow. It would have been remarkable if any feeling had survived through such a life as Elsa's; it could not but be crushed and killed by the early disappointment of her first groom's demise, the icy duty of her second marriage, and the unkindness of her third husband, which had inevitably driven her to connect the idea of his death with that of her comfort. Based on the information in the passage, it could be suggested that the narrator believes Elsa's prior marriages to be:

A. uncomfortable, but well-suited to Elsa

B. satisfactory and dull to Elsa

C. cold and damaging to Elsa

D. awful, but worth it to Elsa
