Answers and Explanations for AP European History Practice Test 1 (^) ‹ 235
the prevailing public opinion until “today” held
that there was some sort of unique German path
in history. B is incorrect because there is nothing
Marxist about the existence of public belief in
a unique German path in history. D is incor-
rect because the passage says nothing to indicate
that Winkler believed that the question has been
answered “once and for all.”
- A. In the first sentence of the passage, Winkler
asserts that there was significant public belief in
a special German mission. B is incorrect because,
in the first sentence of the passage, Winkler
asserts that there was significant public belief in
a special German mission. C and D are incorrect
because Winkler was not asserting or opposing
anything in 1945; he wrote in 2006. - D. The passage indicates that Germany’s defeat
in World War II (“the collapse of 1945”) led to a
shift from asserting that Germany had a unique
mission in history to a claim that Germany was
unique in the way it had “deviated” from the rest
of Western civilization. A is incorrect because the
passage clearly indicates that public opinion on
the existence of a unique German mission was
changed by the collapse of 1945. B is incorrect
because the passage clearly indicates that German
public opinion on the question of its uniqueness
was substantively affected by the collapse of 1945.
C is incorrect because the passage indicates that
public opinion was changed by the collapse of
1945, not “proven to be correct.” - B. One can infer from this World War II–
era poster that the wartime economy required
women to do factory work. A is incorrect
because the poster does not indicate that women
were being conscripted. C is incorrect because
the poster indicates nothing about the conse-
quences of women and men working together in
factories. D is incorrect because nothing in the
poster indicates that this was the first time that
women were part of Great Britain’s industrial
workforce. - D. The prevalence of tanks and aircraft seem-
ing to emanate from the factory in the poster
allow you to infer that women were used in the
production of munitions in Great Britain during
World War II. A is incorrect because one may
infer nothing from the poster about who is “in
charge” of the factories. B is incorrect because
one may infer nothing from the poster about the
proportions of men and women in the military.
C is incorrect because one may infer nothing
from the poster about the emotional state of the
women working in factories.- C. It is clear that the goal of the poster was to
make women feel like they were important to
the war effort. A is incorrect because women
were not a minority group in Great Britain
during World War II. B is incorrect; although its
assertion that British and German propaganda
had similar goals is probably true, it cannot
be inferred from this British poster alone. D is
incorrect because factory work during the war
was available to women (and because the poster
asserts nothing more than that). - C. The phrase “late labours and hazards,” the
reference to the delivering of the enemies of God
into their hands, the date (1647), and the term
“Leveller” all allow one to infer that the authors
recently fought in the English Civil War. A is
incorrect because the Seven Years’ War was fought
from 1756 to 1763. B is incorrect because the
American War for Independence was fought from
1775 to 1782. D is incorrect because the Battle of
Agincourt was fought in 1451. - A. The demand articulated by the passage,
“That matters of Religion, and the ways of
God’s worship are not at all entrusted by us
to any human power,” allows one to infer that
the authors of the passage fought for religious
freedom. B is incorrect because the Levellers
fought on the Parliamentary side, not the side
of the monarchy, and because supporters of
the monarchy would not be demanding any
of the things the Levellers do in the passage.
C is incorrect because nothing in the passage
mentions the establishment of a republic. D is
incorrect because the Levellers were English,
and because the passage mentions nothing
about independence. - B. The phrase, “That in all laws made, or to
be made, every person may be bound alike,”
allows one to infer that the authors of the pas-
sage meant to establish equality under the law
in England. A is incorrect because nothing in
the passage indicates that the Levellers were
