did not advocate the total extinction of France’s
enemies. C is incorrect because the War of the
First Coalition continued to be run by French
generals; the Levée en Masse simply increased
the size and improved the training of the sol-
diers available to them.
- A. The passage describes the effects on work-
ers who spun thread in their homes for the
textile trade as the mode of production shifted
to more mechanized labor in a mill system.
B is incorrect because the passage does not
describe the effects of shifting from agricul-
tural work to industrial manufacturing. C is
incorrect because the passage does not discuss
shifts in the textile markets, but rather in the
mode of production. D is incorrect because
the passage does not describe the effects of
trade unions. - C. The passage indicates that there is an ini-
tial investment of “A wooden wheel costing 2
s[hillings] for each person, with one reel costing
3 s[hillings] set up the family,” while a wife and
four children could add six or seven shillings a
week “by their wheels.” A is incorrect because
the passage does not indicate that spinning
took very little time. B is incorrect because the
passage indicates that spinning done by the
wife and children supplemented the husband/
father’s income rather than replaced it. D is
incorrect because the passage indicates that
spinning as a cottage industry was done by a
wife and all the household children; it was in
the mill system that it was done almost exclu-
sively by girls. - D. The passage indicates the author’s concern
for the moral effects of taking young girls and
“herding them together” with unmarried men
and boys. A is incorrect because the passage does
not refer to a lack of religious instruction in the
mills. B is incorrect because the passage does not
refer to theft on the part of workers. C is incor-
rect because the women and girls were already
employed in the spinning trade before the shift
to the mill system. - B. The passage states Chadwick’s belief that
“the various forms of epidemic, endemic, and
other disease [are] caused... by atmospheric
impurities... , by damp and filth, and close and
overcrowded dwellings.” A is incorrect because
the passage does not refer to the diet of the poor.
C is incorrect because the passage does not refer
to the Black Death. D is incorrect because the
passage does not refer to the working conditions
of the poor.- C. Chadwick reported that “the ravages of epi-
demics and other diseases... tend to increase
the pressure of population.” A is incorrect
because Chadwick reported that “the ravages of
epidemics and other diseases do not diminish
but tend to increase the pressure of popula-
tion pressure.” B and D are incorrect because
Chadwick reported that “the ravages of epidem-
ics and other diseases... tend to increase the
pressure of population.” - A. The passage indicates a belief that unsanitary
living conditions produce a population that
“is less susceptible of moral influences” and
therefore “improvident, reckless, and intem-
perate, and with habitual avidity for sensual
gratifications.” B is incorrect because the pas-
sage indicates that unsanitary living conditions
had the effect of producing a population that
is “improvident, reckless, and intemperate.” C
is incorrect because the passage does not exam-
ine the physical effects of poor sanitation, but
rather the moral effects. D is incorrect because
the passage indicates that unsanitary living con-
ditions produce a population that is “improvi-
dent, reckless, and intemperate,” not one with
improved morals. - B. The title (“History of Swing”), the reputed
authorship (“Kent Rick-Burner”); and the
burning hayrick in the background all refer to
the Swing Riots, the widespread uprising by
agricultural workers in response to the use of
labor-displacing threshing machines and the
threatening notes, usually left at the scene of
the crimes, signed “Captain Swing.” A is incor-
rect because the images contain no reference to
the English monarchy. C is incorrect because
the image contains no references to the July
Revolution in France. D is incorrect because
the image contains no references to the Irish
Potato Famine, and because 1830 is too early
for such images.
