Read the following paragraphs and the negative fact questions that go with them. The correct answers Chapter 1
are provided in bold. Then answer the questions that go with them.

In 1856, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the African-American slave Dred Scott
could not gain freedom in a state that prohibited slavery, and this case had many damaging
implications for slaves, African Americans, and the country in general. First, it stated that any
person of African descent could never be a citizen, whether he was free or not. Further, it
claimed that since slaves were property, they could not be taken from their owners, even if
these owners lived in a free state. The decision, in principle anyway, allowed for slavery to be
legal in any state in the US. In effect, it further divided the free states of the North from the
slave states of the South, and it moved both sides closer to the American Civil War.

All of the following were results of the US Supreme Court decision on Scott’s case EXCEPT:

(A) It heightened tensions between the divided North and South.
(B) It permitted slavery to be practiced even in free northern states.
(C) It denied citizenship to anyone who had African ancestors.
(D) It allowed slaves to gain freedom in states that banned slavery.

1. The answer choice in bold is obviously untrue because it contradicts a key idea from the passage.
Underline the sentence that contains this idea.

Most landforms that are now seen owe their existence to glacial deposition. These formations
occurred as glaciers moved south and pushed walls of rocks, soil, and other rubble ahead of
them. At some point, however, these glaciers could no longer move south as they reached a
point of stability, melting as fast as they were growing. They would then begin to retreat, and,
in doing so, they would leave behind the debris that they had shoved in front of them. In
some places, these hills of debris were up to several hundred feet high. The long hill that
marked the southernmost extent of a glacier is called the terminal moraine. Today, some can
still be seen running across parts of the US. Perhaps the greatest example of one is the island
of Long Island, which lies just east of New York City.

All of the following are mentioned as connected to the terminal moraine EXCEPT:
(A) It is formed from soil, rock, and other debris.
(B) At the point of stability, it melted as fast as it grew.
(C) It marks the southern boundary of a glacier.
(D) One formed the island of Long Island, New York.

2. The correct choice can be found by getting rid of obviously true statements through a process of
elimination and then scanning the paragraph for the other correct choices. Find and underline
the sentences that discuss these accurate statements.
