  • Q #1: Lexington and Concord The majority of history scholars agree that the open warfare portion of the American War for Independence began in two small Massachusetts towns: Lexington and Concord. To stop the British from discovering military supplies hidden in Concord, the American Minutemen attempted to stall or halt the British Regulars in Lexington Common. While the opposing factions were facing off against one another, a shot was fired from an unknown source, causing hostilities to break into violence. After the skirmish at Lexington settled, multiple people from both sides lay dead and the British continued their way toward Concord. Which of the following could accurately subtitle this passage, following "Lexington and Concord"?

    A. American March from the Sea

    B. In the State of Massachusetts

    C. The Full Armies Face Off

    D. The Start of the Revolution

    Answer Explanation

     

    The passage describes the events that marked the beginning of the open warfare phase of the American War for Independence, specifically in Lexington and Concord. The shot fired at Lexington Common initiated hostilities between the American Minutemen and the British Regulars, resulting in casualties. This incident played a significant role in escalating tensions and ultimately marked the start of the revolution.

    Therefore, the subtitle "The Start of the Revolution" accurately captures the historical significance and context of the events described in the passage.

  • Q #3: Hedy Lamarr, the Inventor Hedy Lamarr was a woman of many talents. She was first known as a European film actress in the 1930s. She began starring in American films with MGM Studios in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Some of her more popular films included Boom Town (1940) and White Cargo (1942); however, her roles generally did not include very many spoken lines and she became bored. To relieve this boredom, Lamarr took up inventing. Hedy Lamarr did not have any formal training, but she did not allow that to stop her from teaching herself in her spare time. Although she had a number of failed inventions, such as an improved traffic light and a carbonated drink, Lamarr did not stop coming up with ideas. She even spent time working with the science engineering team employed by Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. During World War I, Lamarr learned that one of the military's new technologies, radio-controlled torpedoes, were too easily jammed and redirected. She came up with a type of radio signal that changed, or "hopped, frequencies and was unable to be tracked or disrupted. With the assistance of her friend George Anthell, she was able to design the system and patent it in August 1942. Unfortunately, the United States Navy was not interested. The technology of the era wasn't quite good enough to easily implement Lamarr's system, and the Navy was not particularly interested in civilian inventions at the time. It wasn't until 20 years later, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, that a version of Lamarr's system began appearing on Navy ships. The work Lamarr and Antheil did creating this frequency-hopping system led to many technologies that are often taken for granted today. Their work led to the development of cell phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Just think, we might not have any of those things if Hedy Lamarr had been given more interesting roles. Which of the following lines from the passage supports the inference that Hedy Lamarr worked earnestly to achieve her goals?

    A. "She even spent time working with the science engineering team employed by Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon."

    B. "...but she did not allow that to stop her from teaching herself in her spare time."

    C. *... her roles generally did not include very many spoken lines and she became bored."

    D. "She began starring in American films with MGM Studios in the late 1930s and early 1940s."

    Answer Explanation

    “But she did not allow that to stop her from teaching herself in her spare time” supports the inference that Hedy Lamar worked earnestly to achieve her goals as despite her not having any formal training into inventing she took time to teach herself about it.
