Question

The poem below was written in the early 1900

Her voice was like the sound of blended flutes
Blown by black players upon a picnic day.
She sang and danced on gracefully and calm
The light gauze hanging loose about her form
To me she seemed a proudly-swaying palm
Grown lovelier for passing through a storm.
Upon her swarthy neck black, shiny curls
Profusely fell; and, tossing coins in praise,
The wine-flushed, bold-eyed boys, and even the girls, Devoured her with their eager, passionate gaze; But, looking at her falsely-smiling face
I knew her self was not in that strange place.

This quote is from Lincoln Steffen's 1904 book The Shame of the Cities. In this excerpt, Steffens describes a speech given by a corrupt Philadelphia official who was trying to counter charges that his ward was "low down":

"[The orator] reminded his hearers that his was the ward of Independence Hall, and naming over signers of the Declaration of Independence, he closed his highest flight of eloquence with the statement that 'these men, the fathers of American liberty, voted down here once. And,' he added, with a catching grin, 'they vote here yet.'"

Which statement expresses the irony of this particular kind of corruption to the democratic process?

A The founders of American democracy would not have expected corruption in Philadelphia.

B The descendants of the founders of American democracy were the leaders of corrupt political machines.

C The voters cast their ballots in a building called Independence Hall but they were not free to make their own decisions.

They argued Americans should move from rural areas to expand the nation's new frontier—the cities.

They argued Congress should enact new protections for America's natural resources to rebuild the frontier.

Answer 20

This quotation is from Theodore Roosevelt's annual message to Congress in 1905:

"Chronic wrongdoing . . . may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly . . . to the exercise of an international police power."

Which statement summarizes Roosevelt's stance on foreign policy in this quotation?

U.S. intervention throughout the Western Hemisphere is justified when necessary.

U.S. intervention in the Western Hemisphere as well as European nations is prohibited.

An international police force must be established to intervene in the Western Hemisphere when necessary.

The Monroe Doctrine is reversed, which allows European intervention in the Western Hemisphere when necessary.

Answer 25

In what way did World War I affect women's suffrage in the United States?

The fact that women in other Allied countries were allowed to vote helped women in the United States win the vote.

The contributions of women to the war effort at home and overseas helped women in the United States win the vote.

Wartime protests demanding women's suffrage were considered un-American and delayed women winning the vote.

The overall war effort became the country's first priority, and calls for women's suffrage were put on hold until the war ended

Answer 26

A/C are definitely wrong.
I'm leaning towards B
