<p>*NEW</p>

<p>wait that was a question? i don’t recall you sure you aren’t mixing that up with washz fairwell?</p>

<p>It might have been a question, I remember one that specifically talked about isolationism, but maybe it’s the one with Washington’s Farewell address.</p>

<p>can someone elaborate the question about Crane and Dreiser?</p>

<p>i dont remember reading that question…</p>

<p>I confirm that 89 was a question, and that political alliances is the answer.</p>

<p>The question was worded something like “Historically, isolationism in the U.S. has meant isolation from…”</p>

<p>@dhamz15:
Yes, it was a question. It was something like “Which of the following is correct about isolationism” </p>

<p>@Harambee:
This was in addition to the Washington question. </p>

<p>@Cougar10:
Crane and Dreiser question, something like:
"Which of the following was a major theme in books by Stephen Crane and Theodore Dreiser?
The choices were something like:
“1.Patriotism and attack against anything foreign
2. Social problems…”</p>

<p>i really hope the curve is better than usual for this test.
it was harder than i expected =&lt;/p>

<p>For the Lyndon B. Johnson - was about humanities and arts, I just found something that I think proves that wrong. The National Foundations for the Arts and Humanities was founded in 1965, and that was during Johnson’s presidency. [NEH</a> at 40: National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965](<a href=“http://www.neh.gov/nehat40/founding/legislation.html]NEH”>http://www.neh.gov/nehat40/founding/legislation.html)</p>

<p>Can someone confirm if that was what the question was referring to because I don’t really remember it at all.</p>

<p>Yes, that is one of the things he did. But it did NOT have to do with minorities… at least I think that’s what the question was asking.</p>

<p>Not sure though. But I know Arts & Humanities WAS something Johnson did, it just was NOT what fit with the question.</p>

<p>What was this question?
86. women were the cornerstone of homes - distinct social spheres for women compared to me</p>

<p>i missed 14 and skipped 2 off of this list…what would that be? will the curve be better, because this test was significantly harder than the practice collegeboard tests?</p>

<ol>
<li>this was a quote or a statement that associated the well-being of the home with the lifestyle/responsibilities of women</li>
</ol>

<p>Anybody know what 8 wrong, no skipped usually converts to?</p>

<p>^780 - 800, depending on the curve</p>

<p>for 66, about the effects of the 1973 Oil embargo, I believe Congress did not pass a windfall tax on oil companies. That was following the 1979 crises. They did pass antipollution legislation</p>

<p>“To help reduce consumption, in 1974 a national maximum speed limit of 55 mph (about 88 km/h) was imposed through the Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act. Development of the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve began in 1975, and in 1977, the cabinet-level Department of Energy was created, followed by the National Energy Act of 1978.”</p>

<p>also, for 54 about anne hutchinson. I’m pretty sure that she challenged the idea of inner conversion because she believed more in a predestination ideology. She Said that the “elect” can sin and not challenge their salvation as opposed to the church which thought that u needed to good deed etcs</p>

<p>@goldenrule
That’s the answer? Thank you sooo much.</p>

<p>Was this test harder or easier than normal? I’m wondering what 10 questions wrong will be. Any chance for an 800?</p>

<p>The anti-pollution vs. windfall tax one seems debatable.</p>
