Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.

The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

How does the sentence "Our mission continues" support the central idea of the speech?

It supports the idea that service people returning home will be called back out quite soon.
It supports the main point that this is an ongoing fight that America will not abandon.
It challenges the notion that Al-Qaida is an enemy worthy of the human and financial cost of war.
It adds to the idea that it is essential to remove any American military presence in other lands.

Students should only be assigned classic literature in school. Curriculum is designed to teach students historical facts; therefore, contemporary works should not be included.

If learning institutions want to develop competent citizens, they will eliminate contemporary texts from the curriculum.

Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to the nation’s television executives in 1961.

[1] … But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.

[2] You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.

[3] Is there one person in this room who claims that broadcasting can't do better? Well a glance at next season's proposed programming can give us little heart. Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies. Is there one network president in this room who claims he can't do better?

[4] The best estimates indicate that during the hours of 5 to 6 P.M. sixty percent of your audience is composed of children under twelve. And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. It used to be said that there were three great influences on a child: home, school, and church. Today, there is a fourth great influence, and you ladies and gentlemen in this room control it.

[5] If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school. What about your responsibilities? Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …

[6] You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims; you must also serve the nation's needs. And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience. Because … the people are wise, wiser than some of the broadcasters—and politicians—think.

What type of evidence does Minow use to develop the idea that television executives have a responsibility to provide better programming for children?

By describing an example of people who are refusing to watch their televisions
By giving statistics that show how children’s grades suffer after watching television
By including expert testimony from a network television programmer
By providing facts about the how many hours children watch television

Propaganda is any type of writing that is written with
the intention of persuading people to support a cause. It is
aimed at trying to influence an audience instead of giving
out fair information. In fact, propaganda sometimes only
presents some of the facts. Or it may be written in a way
that produces an emotional reaction. This is one way of
keeping people from thinking sensibly.
People or groups who use propaganda want to
persuade others to agree with them. However, it is not
always negative. Think about signs that try to encourage
people to vote or report crimes to police. These are also
considered propaganda.

Which of these answer choices best fits the examples of propaganda listed in the passage?

A. commercials that tell people to complete the census

B. news stories that discuss both sides of every issue


C. a company's dress code in an employee handbook

D. a textbook chapter about the Revolutionary War
