Governor Douglas MacArthur (January 26, 1880 - April 5, 1964) was a general of the United States and a Field Marshal of the Philippines Army. He served as the Chief of Staff of the US Army during the 1930s and later played an important role on the Pacific front during World War II. MacArthur received the Honorary Medal. He was appointed commander of the invasion of Japan, which was planned to begin in November 1945. But when it was deemed no longer necessary, MacArthur officially accepted the surrender of Japan on September 2, 1945. MacArthur oversaw the Japanese occupation from 1945 to 1951 and was recognized for its contributions to the country's profound democratic changes. He commanded the United Nations-led General Forces to protect South Korea from North Korean attack from 1950–1951. MacArthur was dismissed as commander in April 1951 by President Harry Truman for failing to listen to the superiors regarding his failure to follow presidential instructions.

Read the following passage and circle A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 36 to 42

George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food for animals and humans. Carver’s first step was to analyze plant parts to find out what they were made of. He then combined these simpler isolated substances with other substances to create new products.

The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw materials from farm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy. Carver was one of the first and greatest chemurgists of all time. Today the science of chemurgy is better known as the science of synthetics. Each day people depend on and use synthetic materials made from raw materials. All his life Carver battled against the disposal of waste materials and warned of the growing need to develop substitutes for the natural substances being used up by humans.

Carver never cared about getting credit for the new products he created. He never tried to patent his discoveries or get wealthy from them. He turned down many offers to leave Tuskegee Institute to become a rich scientist in private industry. Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light, offered him a laboratory in Detroit to carry out food research. When the United States government made him a collaborator in the Mycology and Plant Disease Survey of the Department of Agriculture, he accepted the position with the understanding that he wouldn’t have to leave Tuskegee. As an authority on plant diseases – especially of the fungus variety – Carver sent hundreds of specimens to the United States Department of Agriculture. At the peak of his career, Carver’s fame and influence were known on every continent.

Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage as work done by Carver?

A. Research on electricity 

B. Analysis of plant parts

C. Invention of new products 

D. Research on plant diseases

The Hudson River is one of the most significant rivers in America, though it is not the largest. It was named after Henry Hudson, an English explorer who charted the river for the Dutch East India Company. The Hudson goes for 315 miles, starting in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. It enters the ocean around New York City.

Washington Irving, an American writer, was one of the first to write about the Hudson River. He lived in the Hudson River Valley and wrote about the unique characteristics of this area. He developed the first kind of American folklore and told a story of a man named Rip Van Winkle. Rip Van Winkle fell asleep one day while climbing the mountains around the Hudson River. He did not wake up for twenty years. When he finally woke up, America had become a free country.

The river has not only been written about by famous writers, but has had practical purposes as well. It was an important means of transportation as America developed. The Eric Canal was built to connect the river to Lake Erie, one of the nation’s great lakes. This canal allowed the many cities on the Great Lakes to get goods from Europe. The Hudson River Valley area was also good for building railroads. All in all, the Hudson River is an important river in America.
