Answer 2

The following passage is from page 4 of the book The Great Irish Famine by Una Murray:

In the early 1800s, potatoes were Ireland’s most important crop. They were nutritious and cheap and simple to grow. Irish peasants each ate an average of 10 potatoes a day. They also fed their farm animals potatoes so the animals could then provide milk, eggs, and meat. These rural farmers were entirely dependent on potatoes and entirely unprepared when, in 1845, a new form of plant disease spread across Ireland, destroying their beloved crop. The result was the Great Irish Famine, a time of widespread starvation, disease, and emigration.
When farmers dug up their potatoes in 1845, they expected to find a great harvest. Instead, they discovered rotting potatoes, unfit for consumption. No one knew how to combat the potato blight. The situation grew worse over the next couple of years, and the Great Irish Famine lasted until 1852. Its effects, however, are still apparent today.
Without the potato, Irish farmers, their families, and their animals went hungry. Chickens, cows, and other animals starved to death, so the people lost milk, eggs, and meat as well. With their main source of income gone, the Irish had to live in poor conditions, where diseases spread unchecked. Ireland lost 25% of its population during the famine. Over one million people died of starvation and disease. Over one million more left Ireland to live elsewhere. Since then, Ireland has never reached its former population of 8 million.


Which of these is the best paraphrase of the following sentence from the passage?

These rural farmers were entirely dependent on potatoes and entirely unprepared when, in 1845, a new form of plant disease spread across Ireland, destroying their beloved crop.

These rural farmers were completely dependent on potatoes and entirely unprepared when, in 1845, a new form of plant disease spread across Ireland, destroying their beloved crop (Murray 4).
Entirely dependent on potatoes, these farmers were not prepared when, in 1845, a new form of plant disease spread across Ireland, destroying their beloved crop (Murray 4).
There were other farmers who grew corn and barley. However, they exported most of these goods to Britain so that they could make more money (Murray 4).
Irish peasants relied solely on potatoes; they were not ready when a new potato blight appeared in 1845. The disease ruined potatoes all over Ireland (Murray 4).

Answer 12

Roads, rivers, and railroads connected different regions of the United States together. These modes of transportation allowed people to move away from the country’s coast lines. Railroads grew quickly in the nineteenth century. Between 1860 and 1880, railroad lines tripled. They went from covering 30,000 miles to 90,000 miles. The Transcontinental Railroad was finished in 1869. This was the first railroad that connected the east and west coasts of the United States. By the year 1900, there was a nationwide network of railroads. This made shipping and transportation easier. Railroads contributed to industrial growth and to an increased demand for goods.

Directions: Select all the correct answers.
The author wants to add additional information about transportation in the nineteenth century to the passage. Which three sentences could the author add?

Many people traveled along rivers on steamboats. By 1830, steamboats were a major mode of transportation.
In 1960, many railroad companies were having financial trouble because the number of train passengers began declining. By this time, more people were traveling across the country by cars or airplanes.
Although there were not many major roads stretching across the country in the 1800s, there were a few. The National Road stretched from Maryland to Ohio by 1833.
Electric trolley cars were developed in the 1860s. These trolley cars made it much easier for people to travel within large cities.
Unlike traveling by railroad, traveling by automobile allowed people in the twentieth century to go places without being restricted to a schedule. As more people began driving cars, more people began living outside of big cities.
