Read this excerpt from “President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation” following the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle.

I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute. We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue. I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: “Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it.”

His words didn't help. Kayla replayed the inelegant scene in
her mind. As she had walked across the stage, she had felt
her heel wobble slightly, sending her swaying back and
forth. Then her foot had given out completely, and the
auditorium had echoed as she hit the ground. After a few
seconds, giggles from the audience had broken the
silence. Kayla had been mortified, and her face had
remained flushed as she grabbed her award and ran back
to her chair.
"I'm dying of embarrassment," she whispered in Devon's
ear. "My life is ruined."

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.


Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.


Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage?


A. Economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement.

B. The growing demand for sugar made the lives of enslaved people even worse.

C. Turning Africans into objects was important for the sugar industry to succeed.

D. Monarchies became increasingly strong and popular during the Age of Sugar.

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm and the passage on the history of the Soviet Union.


On the third Sunday after Snowball's expulsion, the animals were somewhat surprised to hear Napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all. He did not give any reason for having changed his mind, but merely warned the animals that this extra task would mean very hard work, it might even be necessary to reduce their rations. The plans, however, had all been prepared, down to the last detail. A special committee of pigs had been at work upon them for the past three weeks. The building of the windmill, with various other improvements, was expected to take two years.


That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon's papers.


In November 1927, Joseph Stalin launched his "revolution from above” by setting two extraordinary goals for Soviet domestic policy: rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture. His aims were to erase all traces of the capitalism that had entered under the New Economic Policy and to transform the Soviet Union as quickly as possible, without regard to cost, into an industrialized and completely socialist state.


Stalin's First Five-Year Plan, adopted by the party in 1928, called for rapid industrialization of the economy, with an emphasis on heavy industry. It set goals that were unrealistic—a 250 percent increase in overall industrial development and a 330 percent expansion in heavy industry alone. All industry and services were nationalized, managers were given predetermined output quotas by central planners, and trade unions were converted into mechanisms for increasing worker productivity. Many new industrial centers were developed, particularly in the Ural Mountains, and thousands of new plants were built throughout the country. But because Stalin insisted on unrealistic production targets, serious problems soon arose. With the greatest share of investment put into heavy industry, widespread shortages of consumer goods occurred.


How do the circumstances in the Animal Farm excerpt relate to the events in the historical passage?


A. Napoleon has stolen the plans for the windmill from Snowball, just as Stalin took his ideas for industrialization and collectivization from Trotsky.

B. Napoleon wants to make the farm an industrial power, just as Stalin wanted to make the Soviet Union an industrial power no matter the sacrifices.

C. Napoleon uses Squealer to communicate his ideas to the animals, just as Stalin used his assistants to spread propaganda to the people.

D. Napoleon sets forth a five-year plan to build the windmill, just as Stalin launched several five-year plans to build up industry and agriculture in the Soviet Union.
