Directions: Each passage in this group is followed by questions based on its content. After reading a passage, choose the best answer to each question. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.
Many microorganisms survive such environmental stresses as heat, cold
and desiccation not by rapid rates of mitosis, but by producing specialized cells
designed to persist in a dormant state in hostile environments. Most fungi, for
Line example, yield single-celled spores, which, through wind distribution, can
(5) survive for long periods of time before germinating and sprouting fungal
filaments of their own. Other types of bacteria produce a special type of spore
called an endospore, capable of withstanding such extremes as boiling and
freezing temperatures, and even ultraviolet radiation.
Though research results remain tentative, several factors may protect
(10) endospores from environmental stress: they have a low water content, unusual
proteins and a tough spore coat absent in mature bacterial cells. When garden
fruits and vegetables, which may contain botulism endospores, are preserved by
canning at boiling temperatures, we know that these spores survive the heat
and sprout in the food, and as a result, the bacteria generate the botulism toxin
(15) that can lead to food poisoning-proof of their magnificent resilience.
The author's primary purpose in the passage is to
A. describe the limits of biologists' understanding of the phenomenon of cellular dormancy
B. explain how certain organisms have adapted to withstand environmental adversity
C. contrast the survival techniques of two organisms which use dormancy to survive hostile environments
D. explain why endospores are so adept at surviving the traditional canning process
E. suggest which methods are effective for killing endospores at which are not

Though one may question the degree to which the Civil War represents a
milestone in women's pursuit of social, economic, and political equality,
Leonard's recent study has excelled that of her predecessor Ginzberg in
Line debunking persistent myths about women's primary relation to the war as
(5) weeping widows, self-sacrificing wives, patriotic fiancées, and loyal daughters.
Leonard asks if the wartime work of northern women influenced popular
perceptions of women's abilities, and if home front production were seen as
contributing to the readiness of soldiers. Finding in the affirmative, she argues
that home front activities generated respect for women's organizational talents
(10) and opened up new work opportunities for women, while participation
reinforced their self-reliance and self-esteem.
In contrast to her predecessors, who saw the war as transforming the
ideology of benevolence, Leonard finds that women's war work drew heavily
upon the antebellum ideology of women's nature and sphere. It was once
(15) believed that wartime benevolence heightened changes emerging in the 1850s
by replacing the antebellum ideology of gender difference and female moral
superiority with a new ideology of gender similarity and a more masculine ethos
of discipline and efficiency. Leonard asserts instead that white, middle-class,
Yankee, charitable women appropriated the antebellum moral definition of
(20) womanhood and, in particular, woman's unique moral responsibility for
maintaining community and her natural selflessness and caretaking abilities, to
expand the boundaries of woman's proper place. With determination and
courage, women brought forth positive changes in popular characterizations of
middle-class womanhood that opened new doors for women in the professions
(25) and in public life.
A weak point of Leonard's theory is her assessment of the themes of
postwar histories of women's wartime service. Leonard views these works as
extolling women's self-sacrifice and ability to cooperate with men while
downplaying women's demands for status and pay and ignoring the scope of
(30) women's administrative genius. But other theorists, most notably Ginzberg,
have argued that these same works may also be viewed as praising the efficiency
of the new centralized and national charitable organizations, women's wage-
earning capacity, and their subordination of feminine feeling and enthusiasm to
(40) business-like and war-like routinization and order. Two sets of values-older
notions of benevolence and new demands of public service-were at war in the
North, a war that can be plotted through tensions about paying wages,
centralizing corporate functions of benevolence, relating benevolence to
government, and using funds for administrative-as opposed to strictly
(45) charitable-purposes. It may well be that wartime masculinization of the
ideology of benevolence pushed women further from both the symbolic and the
real centers of power for social change and hastened instead a class-based
alliance for social welfare. But we can agree with Leonard that the war forced
men to yield groun
A. The Influence of Elizabeth Leonard on Historians of Feminism in the Civil War
B. Leonard's Explanation of How The Civil War Improved the Plight of Women
C. Feminism in the Civil War: New Controversy About an Old Subject
D. The Heritage of Benevolence: The Civil War's Contribution to Women's Charitable Organizations
E. Two Sets of Values, One Cause: How Women Contributed to the War Effort
With which of the following criticisms of Leonard's theory would the author of the passage
A. It lays too much importance upon the antebellum ideology of women's nature and sphere.
B. It fails to acknowledge that masculinization of women's war-time efforts may have been detrimental to the feminist cause.
C. It tends to overemphasize the role of women in shifting their status over the course of the war.
D. It basis its thesis too exclusively on white, Yankee, middle-class women, ignoring every other social and racial class.
E. It omits to articulate the precise antebellum moral definition of womanhood that is its theme.
