Select the correct text in the passage. which detail best supports the writer’s idea that "statesmanship is not an abstract skill, but a contextual one"? adapted from lincoln the great by wilfred w. mcclay which brings us to the question of lincoln’s halfway measures, whose fuller context we need to remember. he rose to prominence as a politician who was antislavery but also anti-abolitionist. the strategy he preferred would have contained the spread of slavery, then gradually eliminated it—as opposed to overturning the institution in one grand liberatory1 gesture. such a position perhaps seems incoherent now, and it [lincoln’s strategy] failed in the end, since the south concluded that it could not trust president lincoln, who received not a single electoral vote from the south, to protect its "peculiar institution." but it was a position predicated on lincoln’s belief that the maintenance of the union was the key to all other political goods. we find it harder to swallow lincoln’s frank disbelief in racial equality and his support for african colonization schemes. that such positions were common, even mildly progressive, in his day does not count for much with us. but what should count for us is the fact that, in the maelstrom of war, lincoln overcame his disinclinations2 to see that the union could only be preserved if it sought to achieve something greater than its own survival. statesmanship is not an abstract skill, but a contextual one, highly specific to the circumstances it finds. it is irresistible to wonder what kind of leader lincoln would have been had there been no secession attempt after his election, or had he lived to be a postwar president. that the question is almost impossible to answer intelligently, though, tells us a great deal. lincoln was above all a war president. like it or not, that condition of history defined him. he was not elected to be such a president. he might have been no more effective in peacetime than andrew johnson was. and he might well have found out, as winston churc

The detail that best supports the writer’s idea is in the Maelstrom of war, Lincoln overcame his disc inclinations to see that the union could only be preserved if it sought to achieve something greater than its own survival

This refers to the use of evidence that is used to show that a claim is valid or not through the use of factual or statistical information.

Would you like a discount movie ticket for a good report card? How about a free pizza for reading 20 books? These offers may sound pretty good, but should local businesses really be offering prizes to students for academic achievement? These prizes may encourage some students to try harder in school, but I think it's for the wrong reasons. In the long run, students will get more benefit out of learning to do their best at everything, whether there's a prize or not.

The following question has two parts. Answer Part A first, and then Part B.

Part A
Read this excerpt from “The New Psychology of Leadership”?

Given that good leadership depends on constituent cooperation and support, this new psychology of leadership negates the notion that leadership is exclusively a top-down process. In fact, it suggests that to gain credibility among followers, leaders must try to position themselves among the group rather than above it. In his use of everyday language—such as “hunt down” and “those folks”—Bush portrayed himself on 9/11 as a typical American able to speak for America.

Which conclusion can most logically be drawn based on the claims in this passage?

A. Leaders who are intelligent cannot succeed in leading a large group.
B. The specific attitudes of an effective leader will vary, depending on the group he or she represents.
C. Leaders who give powerful speeches are actually less effective than leaders who use simple words.
D. People's favorable perceptions of a leader will lead them to support him or her, even if they disagree with his or her decisions.
Part B
Which excerpt from “The New Psychology of Leadership” best supports the answer to Part A?

A. [N]o fixed set of personality traits can assure good leadership because the most desirable traits depend on the nature of the group being led.
B. For example, Bush was connecting with Middle America—intentionally or otherwise—when he littered his speeches with verbal gaffes. . . .
C. Even some of the most oft-touted leadership traits, such as intelligence, can be called into question in some settings. Some people consider being down-to-earth or trustworthy as more important than being brilliant. . . .
D. The most effective leaders define their group's social identity to fit with the policies they plan to promote, enabling them to position those policies as expressions of what their constituents already believe.

The Girl, the snow, and the pain.
Snow fell all around her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The trees were her shelter, her friends. But in this place, her troubles did not leave. She shivered, yet it did not bother her. She knew she should go back, but she did not want to, the very idea of going back...…


Snow fell harder still, yet she did not move. She stared into the trees. They were the only thing she could trust. People were small-minded. Or, maybe she was the small-minded one, and everyone else's minds were too large and complicated for her, and that is why she did not understand them, and they did not understand her. Yes, trees were the better friend...…..


She had been there so long her shoulders were white with snow. She looked up. How nice it would be if she could stay here. Not to go back to the world she hated so. People. Why did they do this to her? One nice thing and they use it against her. One, tiny glimmer of hope, and they find a way to make it stop shining. Because this is what they do. People take things, and they use them against you...…


Her lips were blue. Her hands were numb. Yet she sat. She loathed, She hated, She cried, feelings she was not allowed to have. If she felt them, they said they were not real. These feelings she has, she must keep bottled up because if she did not, they would be angry...


Her feet were deep in snow. She could not stop her body from shaking. Tears ran down her face. The sun was setting. Temperature dropping. They should have come by now. If they knew her. But everyone lies. People lie. She lies. She must leave soon. She could not stay here. No matter what she felt, no matter what the problem, she had to go back. Those people needed her. She needed them...…


The moon was out. All of her feeling was gone. At least, physically. In the distance, people started to call out her name. She looked up. As she had predicted, they have come. They have come for her...


The voices came closer still, calling out for her. Should she call back? Should she let them find her? Or should she sit in silence, and let the snow finish her off...


The snow got even colder. The voices, closer. All this hate she had, was not just going to go away. This pain? It was real, because of them. Yet she loved them. They loved her. But this hate...


She could not stand it. Her numb, cold, blue body stood up. Her voice cracked as she called back. So much said in these three words. Her pain, her hate, her sadness, her fear, her stress, her joy, and her need to be heard.
