Which of the following best describes the writer's exigence in the passage?

The limited resources available to women for changing existing power structures

The lack of interest among eligible voters in the political process

The growing trend of using violence to address women's employment concerns

Widening disparities in the socioeconomic circumstances of American and British women

Public resentment of the high tax rate imposed by the government

In the opening paragraph (lines 1–10), the writer contrasts a hypothetical rhetorical situation with her own primarily to

explain why women are more reluctant to adopt revolutionary methods than men

illustrate the double standards for men and women in the political realm

emphasize the influence of women on democratic culture in the United States

suggest that American women's civil rights have been eroded in the twentieth century

highlight the obstacles women encounter when emigrating from other countries

In the second paragraph (lines 11–30), which of the following best characterizes the writer's position on the relevance of her topic for American women?

Although American women are perceived as “well off” [reference: so well off], they should nonetheless consider adopting the methods described by the writer.

Because American women are "so well off" [reference: so well off], it is unnecessary for them to adopt the methods described by the writer.

Because American women are "so well off" [reference: so well off], they have access to methods other than those described by the author.

By adopting the methods described by the writer, American women have succeeded in winning important civil rights.

Although the methods described by the writer are best suited for American men, American women could adapt such methods for use in the domestic sphere.

In context, lines 11–23 (“You see . . . revolutionary methods”) could be used to support which of the following claims about the writer’s tone?

She adopts a bold, forthright tone in approaching her subject.

Her tone when discussing American women is patronizing.

Her tone when discussing American men is ingratiating.

She adopts a reverent, admiring tone in dealing with her subject.

She adopts a detached, impersonal tone when discussing her subject.

In the third paragraph, the writer criticizes the logic of those who dismiss the methods of British feminists as "irrational" because they:

misconstrued the feminists’ reasons for employing the strategies they have chosen to employ

failed to verify the identities of those responsible for acts of vandalism

overlooked accounts that present a less provocative view of feminist activism in Britain

ignored a key distinction between American feminists and British feminists

assumed that feminists do not understand the normal political process

In the fourth paragraph, the writer introduces a hypothetical scenario primarily to:

spotlight the special political privileges recently accorded to the men of Hartford

question the motives of those who demand immediate changes to the status quo

underscore the efficiency of voting as a means of addressing political discontents

affirm the value of compromise in resolving political issues

encourage women's rights activists to emulate the example of the men of Hartford

In the context of the passage, all of the following phrases refer to the same idea EXCEPT:

“the only means we consider open to voteless persons” (lines 49–50)

“revolutionary methods” (line 6)

“militant methods” (line 30)

“some of the antiquated means by which men in the past got their grievances remedied” (lines 77–78)

At the end of the passage, the writer uses the "either . . . or" construction to suggest that:

suggest that old-fashioned methods of creating political change may be superior to modern methods in certain situations

provide two possible explanations for why American women have not yet won the right to vote

offer two alternative methods of accomplishing the same goal

assert that patience is critical to smooth political transitions

imply that disruptive action may be the only way of resisting oppression in certain situations

What was the primary cause of the Mars Climate Orbiter's failure to enter orbit around Mars?

B) A discrepancy in the software that controlled the spacecraft's thrusters

A) A software bug unrelated to measurement units

C) A sudden malfunction in the spacecraft's power supply

D) An unexpected asteroid collision

What is the passage suggesting the United States should do?

C) Adopt the metric system in all measurements

A) Continue using the imperial system for certain measurements

B) Completely abandon future Mars survey missions

D) Search for the lost Mars Climate Orbiter

Which of the following versions of the underlined text best achieves the purpose of providing an effective transition from the introductory paragraph to the main idea of the passage?

the data from the spacecraft and the data from NASA's computers on the ground had not been matching up for months since the launch of the Orbiter

thrusters (two different engineering teams—one from Lockheed Martin Astronautics and another from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory—had worked on creating different parts of the software)

thrusters—software that was used to calculate the trajectory the Orbiter needed to take in order to enter Mars' orbit successfully

thrusters: four thrusters were used for trajectory correction maneuvers as well as pitch and yaw control, while another four were used for roll control

Which of the following versions of the writer's position on the main argument of the passage is expressed below?

should consider privatizing space exploration

needs to adopt the metric system

should partner with other countries on future missions to outer space

must stress STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education starting at an early age

Which version of the underlined text best accomplishes the goal of providing a convincing explanation for why switching to the metric system would benefit United States industries?

industries: those with products in both domestic and international markets would no longer need to design in and produce to two different measurement systems, reducing both product overlap and manufacturing inefficiencies

industries: since most of the world already uses the metric system, it is likely to be the only measuring system in the future

industries; in fact, the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan, encouraged United States industries to adopt the metric system

industries; the United States Metric Board was established in 1975 as part of the Metric Conversion Act to encourage the adoption of the metric system in the United States, something it continued to do until it was abolished in 1982

All of the following pieces of evidence help achieve the purpose of adding more information to the third paragraph EXCEPT which one?

A quote from Thomas Jefferson’s eighteenth-century proposal for a new decimal system to standardize weights and measures

An airplane that ran out of fuel mid-flight because of a conversion error by the pilots when they calculated how much fuel they needed

A mechanical failure on an amusement park ride that occurred because the imperial size of a particular part was ordered instead of the metric size

Data from a United States company demonstrating an increase in profits because of its conversion to the metric system

A map showing the countries that use the metric system shaded in one color and those that use the imperial system shaded in another color

In the fourth paragraph (sentences 10–11), the writer wants to expand on the concession that converting to the metric system may seem difficult. Which of the following claims would best achieve this purpose?

It would be extremely costly as well as confusing for the United States to manage the overwhelming task of converting everything from road signs to measuring cups to the metric system.

The imperial system the United States uses today functions perfectly well, so there’s no need to change it.

Many attempts to make the United States adopt the metric system have already been made.

The units in the imperial system were first officially defined by the Office of the Exchequer in Great Britain in 1824, but they have existed as the Winchester Standards since 1558.

Some people in Great Britain, which adopted the metric system decades ago, want to return to the imperial system.

In the fourth paragraph (sentences 10–11), the writer wants to provide further evidence to rebut the claim that converting to the metric system might be difficult. Which of the following pieces of evidence would best achieve this purpose?

A 2012 petition, signed by over 25,000 people, urging the White House to adopt the metric system in the United States

An interview from an opponent of adopting the metric system in the United States

A personal anecdote about a failed attempt to make a cake because of a measurement conversion error

A description of the successful adoption of the metric system by Great Britain, which had previously used the imperial system

A United States government report estimating the cost of converting highway signs on state roads at $334 million dollars
