 Question 19
Questions 20 and 21. These questions are designed to test your reading comprehension skills on a
basic and more advanced level. Read the passages below and mark the letter of the most correct
answer. There are no trick questions.
A free market describes a market without economic intervention and regulation by

government except to regulate against force or fraud. The terminology is used by
economists and in popular culture. A free market requires protection of property rights, but
no regulation, no subsidization, no single monetary system, and no governmental
monopolies. It is the opposite of a controlled market, where the government regulates
prices or how property is used.
The theory holds that within the ideal free market, property rights are voluntarily exchanged
at a price arranged solely by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers. By definition, buyers
and sellers do not coerce each other, in the sense that they obtain each other's property
rights without the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or fraud, nor are they
coerced by a third party (such as by government via transfer payments) and they engage in
trade simply because they both consent and believe that what they are getting is worth
more than or as much as what they give up. Price is the result of buying and selling
decisions en masse as described by the law of supply and demand.
Free market economics is closely associated with laissez-faire economic philosophy, which
advocates approximating this condition in the real world by mostly confining government
intervention in economic matters to regulating against force and fraud among market
participants. Some free market advocates oppose taxation as well, claiming that the market
is more efficient at providing all valuable services of which defense and law are no
exception, that such services can be provided without direct taxation and that consent
would be the basis of political legitimacy making it a morally consistent system.
Answer True or False: I have read the above passage.

Answers: True
False

Selected Answer: Protecting individuals' trade interests abroad

 Question 22
Romans 7:14-25: "14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,
sold as a slave to sin. 15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to
do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do,
I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but
it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my
sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it
out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want
to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no
longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with
me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at
work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind
and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my
members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body
of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful

nature a slave to the law of sin."

gun is carefully scanned for explosives. Just beyond the rocks is the desolate road which
mocks my worries by providing the enemy a valued avenue of approach. The brisk draft
runs farther down my spine as I hear the eerie prayers shouted from rooftop to rooftop. The
hateful noise belongs to the cloaked black figures bowing in unison. In the distance, beyond
the menace, an exquisite array of colors pierces my doubts. Finally, my chill is warmed by
an orange sun falling slowly out of sight. The clouds dance just above the sun. They remind

 Question 30
Refer to the paragraph below in order to answer the following four questions.
In censorship, silence is not always golden. The word "censorship” means to silence, limit, or repress
information, whether in the media, through music, artistic expression, political, social, theological, or
educational information, not within the norms of a particular mode of thought concerning those
particular standards that they each support. Rather, it is the control of information showing itself in
the form of a boycott, embargo, injunction, restriction, and last but not least, “silence.” Censorship is
not permission, a green light, nor an allowance of complete self-expression. In today’s world, the
computer’s phrases: “to delete”, “empty recycle bin” or even “erase from the hard drive” could mean
censorship. Sometimes people confuse censorship with the thought of limiting it to only a couple of
types or that censorship is always valid or deserving. Others think it only comes through a
dictatorship type of government. A few examples would be a court-imposed gag order: a judicial
judge signs a paper to put a hush order on the media, regarding information that can compromise a
case. Still another example, would be by taking the 5th Amendment, individuals can choose to remain
silent because the information may only serve to incriminate them. Consequently, it also seems a
means of protection for them. Churches have their own laws and standards, some of which in ancient
Biblical times even silenced women (1 Timothy 2: 11-14). In censorship, silence is not always
golden, even secrets between friends can be a form of voluntary censorship, or not!

Answers: True
False
 Question 31
In the paragraph, which of the following best describes the concluding sentence?
Sentence: In censorship, silence is not always golden, even secrets between friends

Read the paragraph below to answer the following four questions:

The wedding process is often trying; however, during my wedding planning, the easiest and
most essential aspect was choosing my gown. As soon as my husband proposed, I began
purchasing wedding magazines for ideas, but most importantly, I used the magazines in
search of dress options. I narrowed my options down to local stores, which had gowns
closest to my style. Because department-sized wedding shops can be intimidating, I made
an appointment at a small, bridal boutique. I was allowed to choose six gowns to take to the
fitting room. In most bridal stores, the dresses are larger than the average woman’s size;
therefore, I had a difficult time envisioning myself wearing most that I had chosen to try on.
Yet, the first one I picked was similar to all the dresses I envied in the magazines. I put this
dress on and knew it had to be mine. I saw no purpose in continuing with my search. It was

 Question 40

My life after marriage is a far cry from what it was before I married. As a single teenager
and the daughter of an evangelistic minister, traveling was a way of life. I packed in less
than thirty minutes for a journey of a few weeks to a month. I journeyed all over the United
States and some in Canada and Mexico. Now, I find myself hesitating to leave the house to
acquire groceries. My week usually consists of departing for church, which is situated across
the street. Once upon a time, I knew tens of thousands of people in all the churches we
visited; meeting new people as we traveled back to these places yearly. Unfortunately, in
my husband’s home town, I have found it difficult to even make new friends or meet new
people. Prior, traveling meant that I was surrounded by people all the time. Currently, I
spend most of my days alone, seldom leaving my bedroom except to do chores or spend
time with the kids. As a minister and minister’s daughter, I found myself in church several
days a week; ministering in each service to one degree or another. In my husband’s home
church I am seldom asked to minister, yet I still receive calls from time to time asking me to
minister in other churches. I do not like traveling alone so I seldom accept many offers to
minister outside my home church. This change of lifestyle is the hardest transition of my
adult life; from the life I had to the life I have.

 Question 45

There are basically three different types of boats, which can be somewhat overwhelming to
a potential first time boat buyer. The intended purpose a boat will be used for should help
determine the type of boat to be purchased. Stream boats are usually small, light, and easy
to maneuver from place to place. Most stream boats require only one operator and are
typically smaller making them the simplest to use. The next choice one might consider is an
inland boat; while an inland boat might be larger than a stream boat, their size is still more
maneuverable in smaller bodies of water and can be operated easily by one or two
operators in most cases. Most inland boats maintain a somewhat shallower draw (draw is
the amount of water required under a boat for it to float) allowing them to maneuver in and
out of shallower water. Finally, the last category is the deep-sea boat class; these boats are
made for the big, open water and are capable of withstanding much larger waves. In most
applications, a deep-sea boat can carry more passengers and cargo than the smaller inland
variations, making it the ultimate camper or getaway. Boating is a great time, even when
the fish are not biting pick the right size and kind of boat and the fun is increased. So, to
avoid feeling in over your head when buying a boat for the first time, make certain to weigh
the options of the different classifications of boats; the first time boat buyer needs to assess
the facts and various models to make the best selection.

fans, who come ready to cheer on their team. These eager and zealous fans show their
support through screams, standing, shouting, jumping up and down, and blowing horns.

 Question 55
Read the below Essay to answer the following three questions.
Essay: Operating Room Housekeepers

(1)When a person visits a hotel, hospital, or a shopping center, a person may encounter a housekeeper
from time to time, trying to keep that particular type of facility clean. He or she may see a
housekeeper cleaning a room in a hotel, emptying trash cans in a shopping center, or using an
automatic scrubber to maintain the main hallways of a hospital. The operating room housekeeper,
however, most likely has the most unique job of any other housekeeping position, due to the
environment, the surroundings he or she can work in, the dress code that is required to work in
surgery, and the many dangers he or she will face on a daily basis.
(2)The operating room housekeeper must become familiar with his or her surroundings; becoming
familiar with the surroundings inside and outside the operating room will help the housekeeper stay
safe and help him/her clean each operating room efficiently. Knowing where the overhead lights and
monitors are in an operating room can be the difference, preventing a housekeeper from getting
injured on the job and cleaning the room properly. Also, a housekeeper must wear the proper uniform
before entering the surgery area to help prevent infections.
(3)Housekeepers must wear a surgery blues uniform before entering the surgery area, no street clothes
or any other housekeeping uniform is allowed in the surgery; this is to help prevent the spread of
infections in the surgery area. A housekeeper is also required to wear a mask, hat, and shoe covers
before entering an operating room or center core area, this is not only to protect housekeepers from a
patient that may have an infection, he or she may encounter while working in surgery; this also
protects the patient, and helps protect the housekeeper from many other dangers he or she will
encounter while cleaning in surgery.
(4)Housekeepers face many dangers everyday while cleaning operating rooms, such as: needle sticks,
broken glass, blood spills, and overhead lights in the operating rooms. A housekeeper needs to know
how to protect themselves from these types of hazards; needles found in an operating room must be
handled with care, knowing how to dispose them properly can prevent a housekeeper from getting a
needle stick. Blood spills and broken glass must be handled with caution, especially if broken glass is
found with blood present; having the proper tools and equipment will help the housekeeper from
getting cut on the broken glass. Handling these types of situations properly will help the housekeeper
stay safe and cleaning the rooms more enjoyable.
(5)There are many things a housekeeper must be aware of while working in the surgery area, he or
she can encounter many dangers on a daily basis; however, with proper training and education, the
housekeeper can be prepared for any situation he or she may encounter while working in surgery.
Knowing what to do can help a housekeeper clean more efficiently and avoid any serious injuries
while working in one of the most unique environments a housekeeper can work in.

 Question 59

Essay: Marriage is Sacred
(1) Couples should understand that when they marry they are entering into the most sacred of
institutions established by God; it is a Holy covenant, not to be taken lightly. In addition, it is the first
covenant established between God and mankind. Until this day, it seals their relationship until death;
therefore, the marriage covenant produces oneness that honors God, creating a binding contract in his
eyes.
(2) God wants marriage to reflect the church’s relationship with Jesus Christ because the church is the
bride, preparing to meet the bridegroom. When couples develop intimacy with God, it also
strengthens the marriage. Per Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology, there
is currently a 50% divorce rate in marriages in and outside of the church. This is evidence that couples
no longer take their commitment and vows seriously, and it is almost impossible to honor vows
without acknowledging the sacredness of the marriage contract. Consequently, the marriage covenant
brings strength to relationships helping them to endure.
(3) The covenant of marriage also protects the family unit. It is the vehicle that allows sexual
expression not provided in other unions. The children born of couples, who are in covenant, reap the
benefits of their parent’s faithfulness to each other and to God. These couples also insulate themselves
and their families from the enemy that would destroy homes and ruin relationships. The odds of
couples committed to covenant relations, committing adultery, divorcing or separating is not as great
as those who are not committed.
(4) The marriage covenant is the most import contract entered into by man. Dennis Rainey, a well
known Christian minister, writes that “For the past two years I have had a growing concern that the
Christian community has passively watched the 'dummying down' of the marriage covenant. Marriage
has become little more than an upgraded social contract between two people-not a holy covenant
between a man and a woman and their God for a lifetime.” Couples, who are in covenant marriages,
provide stability for their families and communities; it has more impact on community than anyone
could ever imagine because the covenant is the cornerstone for all relationships.
(5) The scriptures are clear about marriage being holy in God’s sight; consequently, married couples
must take their vows serious if the current trend in divorce, in and outside the church, is to change.
Acknowledging this will greatly impact and reverse the current culture and views on marriage.
Because God so loved us, he designed the sanctity of marriage for our protection from generation to
generation.

Question 19 Questions 20 and 21. These questions are designed to test your reading comprehension
skills on a basic and more advanced level. Read the passages below and mark the letter of the most
correct answer. There are no trick questions. A free market describes a market without economic
intervention and regulation by government except to regulate against force or fraud. The
terminology is used by economists and in popular culture. A free market requires protection of
property rights, but no regulation, no subsidization, no single monetary system, and no
governmental monopolies. It is the opposite of a controlled market, where the government regulates
prices or how property is used. The theory holds that within the ideal free market, property rights
are voluntarily exchanged at a price arranged solely by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers.
By definition, buyers and sellers do not coerce each other, in the sense that they obtain each other's
property rights without the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or fraud, nor are they
coerced by a third party (such as by government via transfer payments) and they engage in trade
simply because they both consent and believe that what they are getting is worth more than or as
much as what they give up. Price is the result of buying and selling decisions en masse as described
by the law of supply and demand. Free market economics is closely associated with laissezfaire
economic philosophy, which advocates approximating this condition in the real world by mostly
confining government intervention in economic matters to regulating against force and fraud
among market participants. Some free market advocates oppose taxation as well, claiming that the
market is more efficient at providing all valuable services of which defense and law are no exception,
that such services can be provided without direct taxation and that consent would be the basis of
political legitimacy making it a morally consistent system. Answer True or False: I have read the
above passage.
Question 20 Which of these principles or beliefs underlies free market economic philosophy?
Selected Answer: The belief that buyers and sellers are best equipped to decide among themselves
about what is fair and equitable
Question 21 In a free market economy, which of the protections would the government NOT offer?
correct answer. There are no trick questions. Romans 7:1425: We know that the law is spiritual; but
I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do
not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As
it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in
me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does
it. So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner
being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war
against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—
through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the
sinful nature a slave to the law of sin." Answer True or False: I have read the above passage.

my chill is warmed by an orange sun falling slowly out of sight. The clouds dance just above the

Question 30 Refer to the paragraph below in order to answer the following four questions. In

censorship. Sometimes people confuse censorship with the thought of limiting it to only a couple
of types or that censorship is always valid or deserving. Others think it only comes through a
dictatorship type of government. A few examples would be a courtimposed gag order: a judicial
judge signs a paper to put a hush order on the media, regarding information that can compromise
a case. Still another example, would be by taking the 5th Amendment, individuals can choose to
remain silent because the information may only serve to incriminate them. Consequently, it also
seems a means of protection for them. Churches have their own laws and standards, some of which
in ancient Biblical times even silenced women (1 Timothy 2: 1114). In censorship, silence is not
always golden, even secrets between friends can be a form of voluntary censorship, or not! Answer

Question 35 Read the paragraph below to answer the following four questions: The wedding process

choosing my gown. As soon as my husband proposed, I began purchasing wedding magazines for
ideas, but most importantly, I used the magazines in search of dress options. I narrowed my options
down to local stores, which had gowns closest to my style. Because departmentsized wedding shops
can be intimidating, I made an appointment at a small, bridal boutique. I was allowed to choose six
gowns to take to the fitting room. In most bridal stores, the dresses are larger than the average
woman’s size; therefore, I had a difficult time envisioning myself wearing most that I had chosen to
try on. Yet, the first one I picked was similar to all the dresses I envied in the magazines. I put this
dress on and knew it had to be mine. I saw no purpose in continuing with my search. It was evident
that I had found the perfect gown for my wedding. The preparation for a wedding can be difficult

an evangelistic minister, traveling was a way of life. I packed in less than thirty minutes for a journey
of a few weeks to a month. I journeyed all over the United States and some in Canada and Mexico.
Now, I find myself hesitating to leave the house to acquire groceries. My week usually consists of
departing for church, which is situated across the street. Once upon a time, I knew tens of thousands
of people in all the churches we visited; meeting new people as we traveled back to these places
yearly. Unfortunately, in my husband’s home town, I have found it difficult to even make new friends
or meet new people. Prior, traveling meant that I was surrounded by people all the time. Currently,
I spend most of my days alone, seldom leaving my bedroom except to do chores or spend time
with the kids. As a minister and minister’s daughter, I found myself in church several days a week;
ministering in each service to one degree or another. In my husband’s home church I am seldom
asked to minister, yet I still receive calls from time to time asking me to minister in other churches.
I do not like traveling alone so I seldom accept many offers to minister outside my home church.
This change of lifestyle is the hardest transition of my adult life; from the life I had to the life I have.

Question 45 Read the paragraph below to answer the following four questions. There are basically
three different types of boats, which can be somewhat overwhelming to a potential first time boat
buyer. The intended purpose a boat will be used for should help determine the type of boat to be
purchased. Stream boats are usually small, light, and easy to maneuver from place to place. Most
stream boats require only one operator and are typically smaller making them the simplest to use.
The next choice one might consider is an inland boat; while an inland boat might be larger than a
stream boat, their size is still more maneuverable in smaller bodies of water and can be operated
easily by one or two operators in most cases. Most inland boats maintain a somewhat shallower
draw (draw is the amount of water required under a boat for it to float) allowing them to maneuver
in and out of shallower water. Finally, the last category is the deepsea boat class; these boats are
applications, a deepsea boat can carry more passengers and cargo than the smaller inland variations,
making it the ultimate camper or getaway. Boating is a great time, even when the fish are not biting
pick the right size and kind of boat and the fun is increased. So, to avoid feeling in over your head
when buying a boat for the first time, make certain to weigh the options of the different
classifications of boats; the first time boat buyer needs to assess the facts and various models to
make the best selection. Answer True or False: I have read the above paragraph.

Question 50 Read the below paragraph to answer the following four questions. Many features
combine to create the perfect football experience; these features include: the competition between
the two teams, the fans, and the setting. The competition between the two football teams brings
everyone to the stadium for the game. These two opposing and talented groups come prepared
for the game, having practiced for weeks. The chemistry created by the fierce athletes, driven to
win, stirs up tension between the two groups of fans, who come ready to cheer on their team.
These eager and zealous fans show their support through screams, standing, shouting, jumping up
and down, and blowing horns. Marching bands and cheerleaders also show their support. The
marching bands play different songs in the stands like “Hey, Baby” or “Go, Big Red!” The cheerleaders
cheer their hearts out to inspire the fans to get excited about the conflict on the field. The football
game setting also contributes to the perfect football experience. The crisp, fall air inspires fans to
wear sweatshirts and bring fleece blankets. The big, blaring lights draw attention to the activity on
the field, even in the dark of night. Warm hot chocolate, hot dogs, and nachos add to the overall
football experience. All of these elements, the competition, the fans, and the setting, combine to
create the perfect, football experience. Answer True or False: I have read the above paragraph.

Question 55 Read the below Essay to answer the following three questions. Essay: Operating Room
Housekeepers (1)When a person visits a hotel, hospital, or a shopping center, a person may
encounter a housekeeper from time to time, trying to keep that particular type of facility clean. He
or she may see a housekeeper cleaning a room in a hotel, emptying trash cans in a shopping center,
or using an automatic scrubber to maintain the main hallways of a hospital. The operating room
housekeeper, however, most likely has the most unique job of any other housekeeping position,
due to the environment, the surroundings he or she can work in, the dress code that is required to
work in surgery, and the many dangers he or she will face on a daily basis. (2)The operating room
housekeeper must become familiar with his or her surroundings; becoming familiar with the
surroundings inside and outside the operating room will help the housekeeper stay safe and help
him/her clean each operating room efficiently. Knowing where the overhead lights and monitors
are in an operating room can be the difference, preventing a housekeeper from getting injured on
the job and cleaning the room properly. Also, a housekeeper must wear the proper uniform before
entering the surgery area to help prevent infections. (3)Housekeepers must wear a surgery blues
uniform before entering the surgery area, no street clothes or any other housekeeping uniform is
allowed in the surgery; this is to help prevent the spread of infections in the surgery area. A
housekeeper is also required to wear a mask, hat, and shoe covers before entering an operating
room or center core area, this is not only to protect housekeepers from a patient that may have an
infection, he or she may encounter while working in surgery; this also protects the patient, and
helps protect the housekeeper from many other dangers he or she will encounter while cleaning in
surgery. (4)Housekeepers face many dangers everyday while cleaning operating rooms, such as:
needle sticks, broken glass, blood spills, and overhead lights in the operating rooms. A housekeeper
needs to know how to protect themselves from these types of hazards; needles found in an
operating room must be handled with care, knowing how to dispose them properly can prevent a
housekeeper from getting a needle stick. Blood spills and broken glass must be handled with
caution, especially if broken glass is found with blood present; having the proper tools and
equipment will help the housekeeper from getting cut on the broken glass. Handling these types
of situations properly will help the housekeeper stay safe and cleaning the rooms more enjoyable.
she can encounter many dangers on a daily basis; however, with proper training and education, the
while working in one of the most unique environments a housekeeper can work in. Answer True or
False: I have read the above essay.
Question 56 Which of the following serves as the best revision for the second half of the sentence
below? Sentence: A housekeeper needs to know how to protect themselves from these types of
hazards; needles found in an operating room must be handled with care, knowing how to dispose
them properly can prevent a housekeeper from getting a needle stick.
Selected Answer: needles found in an operating room must be handled with care, and knowing
how to dispose them properly can prevent a housekeeper from getting a needle stick. (X)

idea. Sentence: Knowing where the overhead lights and monitors are in an operating room can be

operating room housekeeper from getting injured on the job
Question 59 Read the below Essay to answer the following three questions. Essay: Marriage is Sacred
institutions established by God; it is a Holy covenant, not to be taken lightly. In addition, it is the
first covenant established between God and mankind. Until this day, it seals their relationship until
death; therefore, the marriage covenant produces oneness that honors God, creating a binding
contract in his eyes. (2) God wants marriage to reflect the church’s relationship with Jesus Christ
because the church is the bride, preparing to meet the bridegroom. When couples develop intimacy
with God, it also strengthens the marriage. Per Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional
Psychology, there is currently a 50% divorce rate in marriages in and outside of the church. This is
evidence that couples no longer take their commitment and vows seriously, and it is almost
impossible to honor vows without acknowledging the sacredness of the marriage contract.
Consequently, the marriage covenant brings strength to relationships helping them to endure. (3)
The covenant of marriage also protects the family unit. It is the vehicle that allows sexual expression
not provided in other unions. The children born of couples, who are in covenant, reap the benefits
of their parent’s faithfulness to each other and to God. These couples also insulate themselves and
their families from the enemy that would destroy homes and ruin relationships. The odds of couples
committed to covenant relations, committing adultery, divorcing or separating is not as great as
those who are not committed. (4) The marriage covenant is the most import contract entered into
by man. Dennis Rainey, a well known Christian minister, writes that “For the past two years I have
had a growing concern that the Christian community has passively watched the 'dummying down'
of the marriage covenant. Marriage has become little more than an upgraded social contract
between two peoplenot a holy covenant between a man and a woman and their God for a lifetime.”
Couples, who are in covenant marriages, provide stability for their families and communities; it has
more impact on community than anyone could ever imagine because the covenant is the
cornerstone for all relationships. (5) The scriptures are clear about marriage being holy in God’s
sight; consequently, married couples must take their vows serious if the current trend in divorce, in
and outside the church, is to change. Acknowledging this will greatly impact and reverse the current
culture and views on marriage. Because God so loved us, he designed the sanctity of marriage for
our protection from generation to generation. Answer True or False: I have read the above essay.
Question 60 What information is missing from the introduction that was needed for the
establishment of a strong thesis and inclusive presentation of all of the information in the essay?
Question 61 The following sentence suffers from what major diction and style problems? Sentence:
Couples, who are in covenant marriages, provide stability for their families and communities; it has
more impact on community than anyone could ever imagine because the covenant is the
cornerstone for all relationships.
Selected Answer: Passive voice and point of view shifts (X)
Question 62 Review the quote in paragraph 4. Which revision of the last sentence in paragraph 4
best transitions this quote into the essay’s developing argument? Sentence: Couples, who are in
covenant marriages, provide stability for their families and communities; it has more impact on
community than anyone could ever imagine because the covenant is the cornerstone for all
relationships.
Selected Answer: As the cornerstone for all relationships, a covenant marriage is more than an
upgraded social contract because when it is a holy covenant, it provides stability for families and
communities.

correct answer. There are no trick questions. A free market describes a market without economic
intervention and regulation by government except to regulate against force or fraud. The
terminology is used by economists and in popular culture. A free market requires protection of
property rights, but no regulation, no subsidization, no single monetary system, and no
governmental monopolies. It is the opposite of a controlled market, where the government regulates
prices or how property is used. The theory holds that within the ideal free market, property rights
are voluntarily exchanged at a price arranged solely by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers.
By definition, buyers and sellers do not coerce each other, in the sense that they obtain each other's
property rights without the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or fraud, nor are they
coerced by a third party (such as by government via transfer payments) and they engage in trade
simply because they both consent and believe that what they are getting is worth more than or as
much as what they give up. Price is the result of buying and selling decisions en masse as described
by the law of supply and demand. Free market economics is closely associated with laissezfaire
economic philosophy, which advocates approximating this condition in the real world by mostly
confining government intervention in economic matters to regulating against force and fraud
among market participants. Some free market advocates oppose taxation as well, claiming that the
market is more efficient at providing all valuable services of which defense and law are no exception,
that such services can be provided without direct taxation and that consent would be the basis of
political legitimacy making it a morally consistent system. Answer True or False: I have read the
above passage.
Selected Answer: True Answers: True False

correct answer. There are no trick questions. Romans 7:1425: We know that the law is spiritual; but
I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do
not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As
it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in
me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does
it. So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner
being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war
against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—
through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the
sinful nature a slave to the law of sin." Answer True or False: I have read the above passage.

ground just beneath the barrel of my rigid M240B machine gun is carefully scanned for explosives.
Just beyond the rocks is the desolate road which mocks my worries by providing the enemy a
valued avenue of approach. The brisk draft runs farther down my spine as I hear the eerie prayers
shouted from rooftop to rooftop. The hateful noise belongs to the cloaked black figures bowing in
unison. In the distance, beyond the menace, an exquisite array of colors pierces my doubts. Finally,
my chill is warmed by an orange sun falling slowly out of sight. The clouds dance just above the
sun. They remind me of the joy provided by my salvation. It is then I realize, even in the valley of
the shadow of death I find peace; the hand of God has painted a magnificent sunset just for me.

the form of a boycott, embargo, injunction, restriction, and last but not least, “silence.” Censorship
is not permission, a green light, nor an allowance of complete selfexpression. In today’s world, the
censorship. Sometimes people confuse censorship with the thought of limiting it to only a couple
of types or that censorship is always valid or deserving. Others think it only comes through a
dictatorship type of government. A few examples would be a courtimposed gag order: a judicial
judge signs a paper to put a hush order on the media, regarding information that can compromise
a case. Still another example, would be by taking the 5th Amendment, individuals can choose to
remain silent because the information may only serve to incriminate them. Consequently, it also
seems a means of protection for them. Churches have their own laws and standards, some of which
