(^236) › STEP 5. Build Your Test-Taking Confidence
demanding to form a ruling body of England.
C is incorrect because, at the time the passage
was written, hostilities in the English Civil War
had already ceased, and because nothing in the
passage indicates a demand for the cessation of
hostilities. D is incorrect because the authors
were army officers, not slaves (the word slavish
in the phrase, “the danger of returning into a
slavish condition,” is used as an analogy).
- D. One can infer from the phrase, “the recol-
lection of everything done by one party or the
other... during all the preceding period of trou-
bles,” that Henry is trying to put an end to reli-
gious conflict in France. A and B are incorrect
because one can infer nothing about Henry IV’s
own religion from the document. C is incorrect
because the phrase, “the recollection of every-
thing done by one party or the other... during
all the preceding period of troubles,” clearly indi-
cates that there had been religious conflict in the
period prior to 1598. - B. The reference to the restoration of the
Catholic Church anywhere where it had been
interrupted allows one to infer that Henry
IV was assuring the existence of the Catholic
Church in France. A is incorrect because the
reference to the restoration of the Catholic
Church anywhere where it had been inter-
rupted shows that Henry IV was not abolishing
the Catholic Church. C is incorrect because
nothing in the passage allows one to infer that
Henry IV believed or asserted that the Catholic
Church was the one true Church. D is incor-
rect because nothing in the passage allows one
to infer that Henry IV believed or asserted that
the Catholic Church had caused too much
trouble and hindrance. - B. The phrase, “herewith permit, those of the
said religion pretended Reformed to live and
abide in all the cities and places of this our
kingdom and countries of our sway,” allows
one to infer that Henry IV intended for
Protestants to be able to live peacefully in his
kingdom. A is incorrect because the phrase,
“herewith permit, those of the said religion
pretended Reformed to live and abide in all
the cities and places of this our kingdom and
countries of our sway,” shows that Henry IV
intended for Protestants to be able to live
peacefully in his kingdom, not be banned
from it. C and D are incorrect because noth-
ing in the passage allows one to infer anything
about Henry IV’s religious conversion.- C. The statement in the passage, “To enforce
the fundamental law—to take care that every
man has freedom to do all that he wills,
provided he infringes not the equal free-
dom of any other man,” allows one to infer
that Spencer was an advocate of nineteenth-
century liberalism. A is incorrect because the
passage makes no reference to the nineteenth-
century conservative belief in the value of
traditional customs and institutions. B is
incorrect because nothing in the passage refers
to the nineteenth-century anarchist belief that
the government was the enemy of liberty. D
is incorrect because nothing in the passage
makes reference to the nineteenth-century
socialist belief that competition should be
replaced by cooperation. - A. The passage makes it clear that Spencer
believed that to use tax money to aid the poor
exceeded the bounds of the proper role of gov-
ernment and would do harm to the “universal
interests of humanity.” B is incorrect because the
passage does not challenge the right of the gov-
ernment to tax its people. C is incorrect because
the passage explicitly says that the government
“cannot rightly do anything more than protect.”
D is incorrect because the passage makes no ref-
erence to people uniting. - D. The last paragraph of the passage articu-
lates the basic belief of social Darwinism, that
weeding out of the weak makes for a stronger,
more prosperous society. A is incorrect because
nothing in the passage makes any reference to
the creation of the cooperative society called
for by utopian socialism. B is incorrect because
nothing in the passage refers to the upholding
of traditional social customs called for by social
conservatism. C is incorrect because nothing in
the passage refers to the cultivation of emotion
and sentiment called for by Romanticism. - D. The passage’s reference to “hindrances to
human improvement” allows one to infer that
