Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] Which source would provide credible information about early efforts to stop elephant poaching? A recent news article in National Geographic magazine A YouTube video interview with a park ranger in Kenya A book published in 1970 by a soldier trained to protect elephants An editorial article on nationalparkstraveler.com Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Read these two sentences: The city's budget for youth-related projects has increased this year. We have hopes that the new sports complex will be funded, finally. Which transition word correctly links the two sentences? Consequently However In contrast Whereas Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] The purpose of the Federalist Papers was to express concern about the weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, the document that outlined the first government of the United States of America. Alexander Hamilton, among others, wrote the Federalist Papers to persuade doubtful New Yorkers to vote in favor of the stronger federal government proposed in the United States Constitution. Read this excerpt from Federalist Paper No. 1 and answer the question that follows: Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton To the People of the State of New York: AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world. It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind. Among the most formidable of the obstacles which the new Constitution will have to encounter may readily be distinguished the obvious interest of a certain class of men in every State to resist all changes which may hazard a diminution of the power, emolument, and consequence of the offices they hold under the State establishments; and the perverted ambition of another class of men, who will either hope to aggrandize themselves by the confusions of their country, or will flatter themselves with fairer prospects of elevation from the subdivision of the empire into several partial confederacies than from its union under one government. Based on this sentence from the first paragraph, why does Hamilton think it is important for the United States to be successful? It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. Its success will give more power to other rulers around the world. Without the United States, governments around the world will fall apart. Its success will show that it is possible for people to make their own government. Without the United States, people will have no reason to behave civilly. Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] A student is concluding an informative essay about the legacy of Rosa Parks. Which of the following would best conclude that essay? She had a long and interesting childhood, met many famous people, and will continue to be a figure worthy of our attention. She led the country where others feared to lead, changing the course of history and empowering the weak during a time of dire need. The President recently revealed and dedicated a statue to the legacy of this great woman. Though she is now quite elderly and is not as well-known, school children still learn about her. Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] Dominic has found the following information during the research process for his paper: Building diagrams for a new energy-efficient construction project in his city A news article detailing five international energy-producing building projects A design magazine article describing the solar-energy-producing Sun-Moon Mansion An interview with a landscape architect who designs clean-air plant-based projects for cities What is the most useful next step in the writing process for Dominic? Develop an outline for the supporting details of his paper. Interview a local green builder who is completing a major project. Refine his research question and look for more focused resources. Refocus his research efforts to find more visual elements. Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Read this excerpt from “Schenck v. U.S., 249 U.S. 47 (1919)" and answer the question that follows: The document in question upon its first printed side recited the first section of the Thirteenth Amendment, said that the idea embodied in it was violated by the conscription act and that a conscript is little better than a convict. In impassioned language it intimated that conscription was despotism in its worst form and a monstrous wrong against humanity in the interest of Wall Street's chosen few. It said, 'Do not submit to intimidation,' but in form at least confined itself to peaceful measures such as a petition for the repeal of the act. The other and later printed side of the sheet was headed 'Assert Your Rights.' It stated reasons for alleging that any one violated the Constitution when he refused to recognize 'your right to assert your opposition to the draft,' and went on, 'If you do not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights which it is the solemn duty of all citizens and residents of the United States to retain.' It described the arguments on the other side as coming from cunning politicians and a mercenary capitalist press, and even silent consent to the conscription law as helping to support an infamous conspiracy. According to the protest document, what is the duty of Americans? To assert and maintain their rights To confine themselves to peaceful measures To submit to intimidation To consent to conscription Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Read this excerpt from “Schenck v. U.S., 249 U.S. 47 (1919)" and answer the question that follows: This is an indictment in three counts. The first charges a conspiracy to violate the Espionage Act of June 15, 1917, by causing and attempting to cause insubordination, in the military and naval forces of the United States, and to obstruct the recruiting and enlistment service of the United States, when the United States was at war with the German Empire, to-wit, that the defendant willfully conspired to have printed and circulated to men who had been called and accepted for military service under the Act of May 18, 1917, a document set forth and alleged to be calculated to cause such insubordination and obstruction. The count alleges overt acts in pursuance of the conspiracy, ending in the distribution of the document set forth. The second count alleges a conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, to-wit, to use the mails for the transmission of matter declared to be non-mailable by title 12, 2, of the Act of June 15, 1917, to-wit, the above mentioned document, with an averment of the same overt acts. The third count charges an unlawful use of the mails for the transmission of the same matter and otherwise as above. The defendants were found guilty on all the counts. They set up the First Amendment to the Constitution forbidding Congress to make any law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, and bringing the case here on that ground have argued some other points also of which we must dispose. According to the bolded lines, what is one reason for Schenck’s indictment? He tried to send something through the mail illegally. He supported the Act of Jun 15, 1917. He tried to join the United States Navy. He helped others join the military. Question 8 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Read this excerpt from “Schenck v. U.S., 249 U.S. 47 (1919)" and answer the question that follows: This is an indictment in three counts. The first charges a conspiracy to violate the Espionage Act of June 15, 1917, by causing and attempting to cause insubordination, in the military and naval forces of the United States, and to obstruct the recruiting and enlistment service of the United States, when the United States was at war with the German Empire, to-wit, that the defendant willfully conspired to have printed and circulated to men who had been called and accepted for military service under the Act of May 18, 1917, a document set forth and alleged to be calculated to cause such insubordination and obstruction.

He wanted to prevent men from signing up for recruitment. He tried to join the United States Navy. Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Which trio correctly uses a hyphen? Chocolate-covered peanuts Extremely-overworked employee Friendly-little puppy Successful-popular author Question 10 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Which trio correctly uses a hyphen? Sun-dried tomatoes Cold-damp weather Old-worn sofa Bright-green leaves Question 11 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Read this excerpt from Federalist Paper No. 1 and answer the question that follows: Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton To the People of the State of New York: AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America.

Which phrase from the first paragraph shows that Hamilton thinks the success of the government created by the United States will impact other governments in the future? AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution… … The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION … …it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country… to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government… …the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world… Question 12 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [HC] Read this excerpt from Federalist Paper No. 1 and answer the question that follows: Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton It is not, however, my design to dwell upon observations of this nature. I am well aware that it would be disingenuous to resolve indiscriminately the opposition of any set of men (merely because their situations might subject them to suspicion) into interested or ambitious views. Candor will oblige us to admit that even such men may be actuated by upright intentions; and it cannot be doubted that much of the opposition which has made its appearance, or may hereafter make its appearance, will spring from sources, blameless at least, if not respectable--the honest errors of minds led astray by preconceived jealousies and fears. So numerous indeed and so powerful are the causes which serve to give a false bias to the judgment, that we, upon many occasions, see wise and good men on the wrong as well as on the right side of questions of the first magnitude to society. This circumstance, if duly attended to, would furnish a lesson of moderation to those who are ever so much persuaded of their being in the right in any controversy. And a further reason for caution, in this respect, might be drawn from the reflection that we are not always sure that those who advocate the truth are influenced by purer principles than their antagonists. Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party opposition, and many other motives not more laudable than these, are apt to operate as well upon those who support as those who oppose the right side of a question. Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing could be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has, at all times, characterized political parties. For in politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution. Which statement correctly states the purpose of this excerpt? To call out those who have impeded the process of reform To create distance between the author and those who are personally ambitious To name the historical desires that influence powerful men To set a productive tone for the process of constitutional reform Question 13 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] Read this excerpt from Federalist Paper No. 1 and answer the question that follows: Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton This idea will add the inducements of philanthropy to those of patriotism, to heighten the solicitude which all considerate and good men must feel for the event. Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected. The plan offered to our deliberations affects too many particular interests, innovates upon too many local institutions, not to involve in its discussion a variety of objects foreign to its merits, and of views, passions and prejudices little favorable to the discovery of truth. Which of the following statements supports the idea presented in this quote from the excerpt? Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. Hamilton had many opinions that he put aside to ensure the ratification process could succeed. Hamilton liked the political process despite the petty arguments people got into. Hamilton wished Constitutional reformers would consider only what was best for the public. Hamilton was happy to be a participant in the Constitutional Convention, even though it was quarrelsome. Question 14 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] Read this excerpt from Federalist Paper No. 1 and answer the question that follows: Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world.

Which of the following statements supports the idea presented in this quote from the excerpt? The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world. Hamilton feared the unity of the country was at stake during the process to write the new Constitution. Hamilton took a worldly view of the processes of writing the new Constitution. Members of the committee to write the new Constitution should be concerned about how the world viewed them. The union of the new America was an issue the entire world cared about during the country's development. Question 15 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] Which of the following would be most reliable source for a research paper explaining the causes for whale and dolphin strandings during the summer? A published article written by a person who worked on a fishing vessel for 20 years A newspaper editorial discussing the consequences of ocean pollution for wildlife An article from Scientific American magazine explaining new findings from recent studies An interview with a person who saw whales stranding themselves on a local beach Question 16 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [LC] Read this excerpt from Federalist Paper No. 1 and answer the question that follows: Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton To the People of the State of New York: AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world.

According to Hamilton's writing in the second paragraph, what is one reason the new Constitution would be opposed? People did not trust the ideas included in the proposed Constitution. The government already in place at the time was functioning well. Those already in government did not want to lose their positions. The new Constitution would not provide privileges to everyone. Question 17 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] A student completing research for a project enters the following search terms: Dolphins AND military OR combat Which of the following best describes the likely results of this search? Sources that reference either dolphins or the military and combat Sources that reference both the military and combat, including dolphins Sources that reference both dolphins and the military, including references to combat Sources that reference both dolphins and the military, excluding references to combat Question 18 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] A student doing research for a project enters the following search terms: Scuba AND advancements OR technology Which of the following best describes the likely results of this search? Sources that reference the first two terms and exclude the third Sources that reference the first two terms and the third Sources that reference the first term and either of the remaining two Sources that reference either of the three terms Question 19 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] Read the sentences below and answer the following question: I would be able to attend the party. I could only arrive after the meal. Which sentence below provides the best sentence variety using subordination? After the meal service, I will arrive because I am attending the party. I would be able to attend the party but only after the meal was served. I would be arriving after the meal was served but was coming nonetheless. While I would be able to attend the party, I could only arrive after the meal. Question 20 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) [MC] Read the sentence below and answer the following question: Never was she so enchanting as at this time, when she recalled the sunshine of her smiles and spent them upon us.—Shelley, Frankenstein Which of the following correctly describes the syntax of this excerpt? Ending the sentence with us emphasizes the narrator's selfishness. Including a dependent clause emphasizes the fragile nature of happiness. Starting the sentence with never emphasizes the idea that this was a special time. Using enchanting as a descriptive word suggests a fearful element.
