__1. Explain why the 1950 McCarren Act is now considered to have been “un-American.” The McCarren Act required communists to register; it prohibited them from doing defense work; and it prohibited them from using U.S. passports. These things were later found unconstitutional, so the Act is called “un-American” because it violated the American Constitution.

One difference between the two is that the new literature was more quickly accepted by the public than the new art.

Below are three questions and answers. Check any that aregood examples of an evaluation question and an appropriateanswer:
__1. Why do you think the settlers of the American West hated the Indians? The settlers wanted to exterminate the Indians.

TIPS FOR ANSWERING MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

3. Try rephrasing the question in your own words.Asking questions about a book before you thorough-ly read it helps you:
a. avoid having to read the whole book.b. get an overview of the book and begin to
interact with it.c. learn all about the author.
*Possible ways to rephrase the above question:How does asking questions about a book before reading
it help me as the reader? ORWhat’s the purpose of pre-reading? Continued on next slide

Sample question. Match each kind of mammalwith one member of that group:
A.Even-toes 1. rhinocerosB.Odd-toes 2. bearC.Carnivores 3. apeD.Rodents 4. kangarooE. Primates 5. mouseF. Marsupials 6. deer

TIPS FOR ANSWERINGSENTENCE-COMPLETION QUESTIONS
1.Check the number of blanks.
A noninflammable colorless liquidoften used as a solvent in cleaningmixtures is called ________________________________.
As you can see, there are 2 blanks inthe sentence completion above.
Continued on next slide
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com 29
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS SLIDE
2. See whether the word before the blank is “a” or “an.” If it’s “a,” the fill-in word will begin with a consonant; if it’s “an,” the fill- in word will begin with a vowel.
A former gold coin of the United States, worth $10,was called an __________. (dubloon or eagle?)The answer would be “eagle” because the word “an”is before the blank, thus requiring a word that startswith a vowel to follow it. Continued on next slide

3. If you don’t know the exact answer, come as close as you can.

TIPS FOR ANSWERING TRUE-FALSEQUESTIONS
1.If a statement is to be marked “true,” all parts of it must be true.
Nerves are found in animals with millions of cells, just asthey are found in one-celled animals. __T __ F
2. If a statement is to be marked “true,” it must be 100% true.Animals have nerves. __T __F
Continued on next slide

3. Definite (absolute) statements are often false.All animals have nerves. ____T ____F
4. Indefinite (i.e., having general qualifiers) state- ments are often true.
Some animals have nerves. ____T ____F
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com 33
Review: Topic 4In the blank provided on your answer sheet, write a “T” if thestatement is true or an “F” if it is false:
__ 1. On a multiple-choice question, it’s best to con- sider all the possibilities immediately rather than trying to anticipate the answer.__ 2. On a multiple-choice question, if the first choice seems correct, it’s not necessary to read the other choices.__ 3. On “matching” questions, you should match the easiest items first.
Continued on next slide
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com 34
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS SLIDE
__ 4. On a sentence-completion (a.k.a. “fill-in-the- blank”) question, if the word “an” appears in front of the blank, the fill-in word usually will start with a vowel.__ 5. All definite (absolute) statements are false.__ 6. Many indefinite (having general qualifiers) statements are true.

1.2. The answer only defines Darwinism. It doesn’t relate it to Social Darwinism.3. The question doesn’t ask you to compare things.

3. As in #1, the answer is true, but it doesn’t fit the question. It merely describes the Land Rush. It doesn’t give the student’s opinion of the impact of the Land Rush. Return to Slide 17.

Back-Up 16: Answers to Slides 39-401.c (The instructor doesn’t care about your opinion of the question, only the answer, so “a” is not a good response; “b” is true, but it doesn’t get to the point of the question; “c” answers the question—of course, the student will have to go on to give reasons that support his opinion.)2.b (“a” is a waste of time. There’s no need to re- state the question, as long as you label your answer with the correct number; “c” is not a good response because the question doesn’t ask for your opinion of Americanism; “b” is good b/c it immediately tells us something about Wilson’s idea: that it incorporated 4 basic points.)

Back-Up 17: Answers to Slides 46-47 1. A (This is padding that simply restates the question. It is more likely to annoy the instructor than to fool him or her.)2. C (The student shows a knowledge of who Carnegie was, when Carnegie lived, and that the student has a vague idea of what the Gospel of Wealth was about. The student certainly hasn’t described it well but may get a few points.)3. B (This is a rather pathetic excuse. But if you are ever seriously ill, discuss it with your instructor as soon as possible so that special arrangements can be made for you.)
