6. Virtually all health experts agree that second-hand smoke poses a serious health risk. After
the publication of yet another research paper explicating the link between exposure to
second-hand smoke and a shorter life span, some members of the State House of
Representatives proposed a ban on smoking in most public places in an attempt to promote
quality of life and length of lifespan.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the actions of the State
Representatives?
(A) The amount of damaging chemicals and fumes released into the air by cigarette smoke is
far less than the amount released from automobiles, especially from older models.
(B) Banning smoking in most public places will not considerably reduce the percent of the
population in the state in question that smokes.

high percent of its population that smoke.

7. In Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry does not reject integration or the economic and
moral promise of the American dream; rather, she remains loyal to this dream while looking,
realistically, at its incomplete realization. Once we recognize this dual vision, we can accept
the play’s ironic nuances as deliberate social commentaries by Hansberry rather than as the
“unintentional” irony that Bigsby attributes to the work. Indeed, a curiously persistent refusal
to credit Hansberry with a capacity for intentional irony has led some critics to interpret the
play’s thematic conflicts as mere confusion, contradiction, or eclecticism. Isaacs, for example,
cannot easily reconcile Hansberry’s intense concern for her race with her ideal of human
reconciliation. But the play’s complex view of Black self-esteem and human solidarity as
compatible is no more “contradictory” than Du Bois’s famous, well-considered ideal of ethnic
self-awareness coexisting with human unity, or Fanon’s emphasis on an ideal
internationalism that also accommodates national identities and roles
Indicate the best answer: The author’s primary purpose in the passage is to
(A) Explain some critics’ refusal to consider Raisin in the Sun a deliberately ironic play
(B) Suggest that ironic nuances ally Raisin in the Sun with Du Bois’s and Fanon’s writings
(C) Analyze the fundamental dramatic conflicts in Raisin in the Sun
(D) Emphasize the inclusion of contradictory elements in Raisin in the Sun

possible path from home to school, and if she only walks south or east, what is the probability
