Questions 20-22
Although they had been used to haul freight and passengers
between the Eastern seaboard and the Ohio Valley since 1812,
wagon trains were first used extensively in the 1820's on the
(line) Santa Fe Trail. Long trains of covered wagons drawn by oxen or
(5) mules carried manufactured goods to trade for fur, gold, and
silver in Santa Fe. The independent traders who pooled their
resources to form these trains elected a captain and several
lieutenants who commanded the parallel columns in which the
wagons usually moved. They enforced the rules, selected the
(10) routes, and designated stopping places.

Questions 23-26
In most of the earliest books for children, illustrations were an
afterthought. But in the Caldecott "toy books," pictures were as
important as the few lines of copy, and they occupied far more
(line) space. One can almost read the nursery rhymes from the dramatic
(5) action in the pictures.
Since then, thousands of successful picture books have been
published in the United States and in many countries around the
world. In the best, the text and illustrations seem to complement
each other perfectly. Often one person is the author and
(10) illustrator-for example, Robert McCloskey (Make Way for
Ducklings) and Arnold Loebel (Frog and Toad Together). Many
others have been produced by an author-artist team, as in The
Happy Lion, written by Louise Fatio and illustrated by Roger
Duvoisin.
(15) Wordless picture books have also become popular. With a little
help, three- or four-year-olds can follow the sequence of events
