A massive banking crisis occurred in the United States in 1933. In the two preceding years, a large number of banks had failed, and fear of lost savings had prompted many depositors to remove their funds from banks. Problems became so serious in the state of Michigan that Governor William A. Comstock was forced to declare a moratorium on all banking activities in the state on February 14, 1933. The panic in Michigan quickly spread to other states, and on March 6, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared a banking moratorium throughout the United States that left the entire country without banking services.

Congress immediately met in a special session to solve the banking crisis and on March 9 passed the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 to assist financially healthy banks to reopen. By March 15, banks controlling 90 percent of the country's financial reserves were again open for business.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage ?

• Congress did not give any special priority to the banking situation.

• The Emergency Banking Act helped all banks to reopen.

• Ten percent of the country’s money was in financially unhealthy banks.

• Ninety percent of the banks reopened by the middle of March.

• Many banks had failed two years after the banking crisis.

Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good short, and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good advantage. The bear would call over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with the bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear's anger by refusing, consented and went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had loaded themselves, and packed all they could carry home. The bear was very gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat, so the poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering, as the bear would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. Poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day's work.

The bear was the father of five children. The youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. The mother bear, knowing that her youngest child was very hearty eater, always gave him an extra large piece of meat, but the youngest child didn't eat. He would take it outside with him and pretend to play ball with it, kicking it toward the rabbit's house, and when he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick, that it would fly into the rabbit's house and in this way the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.

The poor rabbit didn't taste any of the meat because ....

• they are already given to the butcher

• they are eaten by the youngest bear

• the bear carried all the meat home

• they are already dried up

• the bear ate all the meat
