<p>I'm having some trouble with the weird multiple choice questions given to us in class <_<. I already eliminated some of the answers, but the rest are listed and I'm not sure which one to choose so uh... if you can, try to add some evidence so it'll sound convincing =P</p>
<p>Which of the following is an accurate statement about colonial society in the mid-18th Century. </p>

E) Well over half of adult men could read and write.</p>

<p>Is there a specified region? Society in the north and south varied a lot. I don't think A is right though.</p>

<p>I'm almost certain it's C. One problem in the Chesapeake was that there was a huge imbalance between men and women (in terms of quantity). Women got married fast.</p>

<p>Yea! I think so for the: </p>

<p>I was kind of stuck in between. Wouldn't women not want to marry? Because they know that if they marry, they would lose their property...so women, as soon as they widowed, would stay single? </p>
<p>Unless they were forced into marriage...hmm...or they couldn't survive by being single? But that only applies to non-widows...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>It looks like I read it incorrectly the first time (saw women not widows). I'm not sure, though C still seems a little better to me.</p>
<p>Thanks =P </p>
<p>Again, I don't know which one is right so I'm not really pushing for any specific one...</p>
<p>But these are multiple choice tests given to us ... <_<</p>
<p>How can we expect to do well on them...if they are so ugh!? O=</p>
<p>You are only that far in your APUSH class..? I assume you are going in order, but that's just the beginning, no? My class is already at the Civil War, is that abnormal?</p>
<p>Apparently our teacher said she would go fast in some time periods, then go slow in others. </p>
<p>But our final exam does include the Civil War, and by now we are there so yeap! ;)</p>
<p>Do you happen to know any of the answers to the above? I don't like her multiple choice</p>
<p>Last year my class reached the civil war by the end of January.</p>
<p>Another set of weird multiple choice questions...</p>

By 1850, free African Americans generally</p>
<p>B) were descendants of slaves emancipated in the 1780s and 1790s
C) owned their land
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Bleh...I'm stuck. I'm not sure why I wouldn't choose B, but it just seems too "obvious", you know? As for C, there were some blacks who owned property, but that's not to say land...</p>
<p>HMM. And another one which is more annoying: </p>

Which statement accurately reflects the conditions of antebellum white women in the South? </p>
<p>A) they gave birth to proportionally fewer children than Northern women
B) the rate at which they gave birth was 1/3 greater than the national average
C) the rate at which they gave birth was more than double the national average
D) children of Southern women survived birth at a rate higher than the national average
E) Southern women survived births at a higher rate than the national average.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Now I don't recall the south having special medicine, so I'm crossing out D and E. On the other hand...I don't think it is A, because it seemed like they still gave birth to more children than northern women. </p>
<p>So it is really between B and C...and B just seems less radical, you know what I mean? </p>
<p>No idea <_<. Where can I possibly get these stats? =o</p>
