What is the purpose of the passage?

Question 1 of 5

A. To express emotions B. To inform about Clara Barton's life and achievements C. To persuade readers to support the Red Cross Organization D. To entertain with fictional tales

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To inform about Clara Barton's life and achievements.' The passage provides a chronological account of Clara Barton's significant life events, from her birth to her philanthropic work during the Civil War and beyond. It aims to educate the reader about Barton's contributions and accomplishments rather than to express emotions, persuade readers to support a specific organization, or entertain with fictional tales. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the informational content of the passage.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The extract provided does not mention Hedy Lamarr or her acting career. Therefore, we cannot draw any conclusions about her from this text. Choice B is the correct answer as it remains the most plausible conclusion based on general knowledge about Hedy Lamarr's career. The other choices are incorrect as there is no information in the extract to support them. Choice A is inaccurate as it refers to the 1990s, which is not the era when Hedy Lamarr was active. Choice C is not supported by the extract, and choice D is too vague and lacks specificity.

Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of the military being too preoccupied to consider new inventions in the provided context. Choice D is incorrect as there is no indication that the US suspected Lamarr's patent to be invalid; rather, the focus was on the navy's preference for technology developed by military engineers.

Her roles generally did not include very many spoken lines and she became bored D. ... but she did not allow that to stop her from teaching herself in her spare time.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, as it showcases Hedy Lamarr's determination and hard work towards achieving her goals. Despite facing challenges, such as not having many spoken lines in her roles, she persevered by teaching herself in her spare time. Choice A talks about her success in starring in American films but does not directly relate to her working earnestly. Choice B mentions her collaboration with Howard Hughes' science engineering team, which indicates involvement but not necessarily hard work towards personal goals. Choice C describes her becoming bored due to the lack of spoken lines in her roles and does not highlight her dedication and effort to achieve her aspirations.
