Read the following passage:
"Marie Tharp grew up in the 1930s, wanting to be a surveyor like her father. Although she helped him in his work, women
weren't welcome in the sciences, so she went to music school instead and waited for a chance. When colleges emptied of men
during World War II, she was allowed in to get a geology degree and then another in mathematics.
"She wanted to investigate the ocean depths, but women weren't allowed on research ships. So she waited again, this time in
a basement office, for her male colleagues to send back data. Working slowly and precisely, she tumed those numbers into the
most detailed map of the seafloor ever made.
"Marie wanted her colleagues to understand that her depictions of seafloor geography were powerful evidence for the theory
of continental drift, but they dismissed it as 'girl talk.' It took almost a decade for her work to be accepted. She'd wait many
more years to get full credit."
Which of the answers below is the best description of the cultural context of the reading?
Marie Tharp helped transform our understanding of the world during an era when women were first banned, then largely
ignored, in the sciences.
Marie Tharp was a scientist who needed help from male co-workers to get her work done.

these fields.

The answer that is the best description of the cultural context of the reading is that Marie Tharp helped transform our understanding of the world during an era when women were first banned, then largely ignored, in the sciences

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

The bagel data also reflect how much personal mood seems to affect honesty. Weather, for instance, is a major factor. Unseasonably pleasant weather inspires people to pay at a higher rate. Unseasonably cold weather, meanwhile, makes people cheat prolifically; so do heavy rain and wind. Worst are the holidays. The week of Christmas produces a 2 percent drop in payment rates—again, a 15 percent increase in theft, an effect on the same magnitude, in reverse, as that of 9/11. Thanksgiving is nearly as bad; the week of Valentine’s Day is also lousy, as is the week straddling April 15. There are, however, a few good holidays: the weeks that include the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The difference in the two sets of holidays? The low-cheating holidays represent little more than an extra day off from work. The high-cheating holidays are fraught with miscellaneous anxieties and the high expectations of loved ones.

The excerpt is an example of inductive reasoning because the authors
A)work from a generalization to formulate specific examples.
B)arrive at a generalization after starting with another generalization.
C)ormulate a generalization by studying specific examples.
D)arrive at specific examples by studying other examples.

Read the stanza from Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.
But soon he knew himself the most unfit
Of men to herd with man; with whom he held
Little in common; untaught to submit
His thoughts to others, though his soul was quelled
In youth by his own thoughts; still uncompelled,
He would not yield dominion of his mind
To spirits against whom his own rebelled;
Proud though in desolation; which could find
A life within itself, to breathe without mankind.

One afternoon, Billy's father decided it was time to teach his young son how to ride a bicycle. The two headed out to the driveway after lunch. Billy's father removed Billy's training wheels and made sure the boy's helmet was fastened tightly. Then he held the bike while Billy tried to balance. Billy tried to balance and pedal at the same time. He just couldn't seem to get it. By one o'clock, Billy had two skinned knees and a bruised elbow.

Which conclusion would readers find most engaging?

After a few more tries, Billy's father gives up. He drags the old, red wagon out of the garage and pulls Billy up and down the driveway instead.

On Billy's last attempt, he crashes into a nearby tree, falls off his bike, and breaks his arm. Billy and his father spend the rest of the day in the hospital.

Billy's brother sees what is going on from his bedroom window. He heads outside and gives Billy a tip about keeping his chin up. Soon, Billy is riding with ease.

Billy gets frustrated and starts to cry. He pushes his bike down on the lawn and throws his helmet off. Then he tells his father that he doesn't want to learn how to ride a bike.
