Practice Test One h 279
- D Within the Chinese spheres of infl uence,
foreigners were granted the right of extrater-
ritoriality. Although the Ottoman Empire
declined, especially after 1750, it became
dependent on Western technology and, in turn,
granted Western powers extraterritoriality.
The other nations listed were not involved in
extending this privilege.
- D Both the Indian National Congress and
the Young Turks of the Ottoman Empire sup-
ported reform as the best method to combat
imperialism. In 1906, the Indian National
Congress joined with the Muslim League (A)
to support Indian self-rule (B). The Indian
National Congress articulated grievances
against British imperialism (C).
- C The road map shows an unobstructed path
when following the middle of the road, while
the actual road is fi lled with huge potholes. The
fi gure of Uncle Sam is giving a sign of approval
to the journey (A). The problem areas are many
and deep (B). Both Palestine and Israel are
steering through the course (D).
- B The camp scene represents one of the key
issues complicating peace efforts in the Middle
East: the issue of a homeland for Palestinian
refugees forced to live in refugee camps.
- A African independence movements provided
a spark for the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.
The Cold War caused some African states to
depend on U.S. aid, and others on assistance
from the Soviet Union (B). Ethnic divisions
continued (C). The French colony of Algeria
won its independence only after a long, violent
struggle (D).
- C Soviet and Chinese women bore arms in
World War II. American women worked in
factories in a temporary capacity only (A).
Japanese and German women were expected to
remain at home and raise children (B, D).
- B Biodiversity, or the maintenance of a variety
of species of animals and plants, is diminished
by increased agricultural activity. Urbaniza-
tion also reduces biodiversity (D). Air pollu-
tion releases excessive carbon dioxide, which
produces global warming (A), which, in turn,
poses the risk of a rise in sea levels and resultant
fl ooding (C).
37. C Sumer traded with Indian peoples, while
Egypt concentrated more on regional trade.
Egypt was more isolated by its desert and sea
barriers, allowing it to develop its culture more
independently (B). Both civilizations had poly-
theisticreligions (A). Sumer established more
and larger urban areas than did Egypt, which
remained a village-based civilization (D).
38. C The map is one of colonial possessions
in Africa prior to World War I. Only a few
regions of Africa had been divided into colo-
nies by 1850 (B), and none were colonized
by 1800 (A). All of Africa was decolonized by
1990, making response (D) incorrect. Clues to
the identifi cation of the political boundaries
on the map as European colonies are the shape
of Egypt and the large expanse of territory in
western and northern Africa that was colonized
by France.
39. C The three concentric circles represent the
Trinity; the fi sh represents Jesus Christ; and the
shell, Christian Baptism.
40. A According to Buddhist belief, nirvana, a
state of perfect peace, can be reached by going
through a number of reincarnations (D). Bud-
dhism rejected the caste system (B). Buddhism
is not polytheistic; some Buddhists regard
Buddha as a god, an idea that Buddha himself
rejected (C).
41. D Confucius is not considered a god. Confu-
cianism is responsible for the civil service exam
(A). Confucianism stressed fi lial piety, or obedi-
ence and respect to parents and elders (B) and
has been associated with patriarchal society (C).
42. B The population statistics and import pat-
terns suggest a developing country that trades
widely with African countries. The country rep-
resented is the Democratic Republic of Congo.
43. D King Leopold II of Belgium originally colo-
nized the Congo as his personal possession.
Later, his violation of human rights caused the
transfer of the Congo to Belgium. The trade
relationship between the Democratic Republic
of Congo and Belgium, therefore, is a result of
colonizationrather than merely one produced
by globalization (A) or multinational corpora-
tions (B). The Congo did not participate in
trans-Saharan trade (C).
