Test Information

Question: 105

6. The author most likely believes that:

  • A. her toaster is plotting grand schemes to reveal her darkest secrets.
  • B. it was not right of Shapton to expose a couple's private life the way she does in her book.
  • C. Doolan and Morris' relationship was doomed to failure.
  • D. we turn certain objects into significant and necessary documents of memorable parts of our lives.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C This is an Inference question.

A: No. This is a reversal of the information in paragraph 1. Acceptance or support of protest stayed the same, while opposition to protest declined.

B: No. Although this may be historically accurate, the answer must be supported by the text of the passage. There is no suggestion in the passage that social unrest lead to this kind of change in attitude.

C: Yes. In paragraph 1, the author states: "Although the level of support for these activities did not increase between 1968 and 1972, the level of opposition declined."

D: No. Paragraph 1 clearly states there was such a change; opposition to protest declined.
