<p>I also put Lenin.</p>

<p>I put Hitler, and I'm fairly sure the quote is from Mein Kampf now that I think about it.</p>

<p>Do you remember any parts of the quote?</p>

<p>dont remember word for word but "secrecy is a must in..."</p>

<p>"Are the librarians like professors or teachers?"</p>

<p>They work at the Library</a> of Congress and provide research services to the government and to the public.</p>

<p>The answer to the last question was that it revived ethnic / national tensions / conflict in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (or however that answer was worded).</p>

<p>The quote about revolutionaries was for sure from Lenin. He was the chief proponent of a small revolutionary "vanguard" composed of committed revolutionaries to lead the uprising.</p>

<p>Incidentally, now that I've thought about it, the answer that the College Board is looking for on the philosophe question is probably intellectuals promoting social reform, since that was the one thing binding all of them together.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the Great Zimbabwe q.? Artifacts from India and China?</p>

<p>Artifacts from China and India indeed.</p>

<p>the answer was Lenin. who knew the answer to the chinese ancestor worship? was it the head of the clan? and why is augustus/octavian the first emperor....i don't rem that...what about the triumvirate..</p>

<p>I thought the answer to the Chinese ancestor-worship question was head of the family / clan. Goldfish said he thought I was right. Still, I'm not entirely sure.</p>

<p>Augustus was the first emperor of Rome because he</a> was.</p>

<p>What was the question with Great Zimbawbe? I don’t remember India/China being an answer.</p>

<p>the quotation on "we must have an aware before most people, and have a secret revolution . . . " was definitely Lenin.</p>

<p>Lenin created the Bolsheviks ( a very small group) to lead the Russian revolotion</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what exactly was the map question on America?</p>

<p>"What was the question with Great Zimbawbe? I don’t remember India/China being an answer."</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>The map question on America had a shaded region down the middle of the United States and included Louisiana upward, but excluded the American colonies and anything remotely towards the west of present-day USA. Wasn't the answer France? I was thinking something about the Louisiana Purchase.</p>

<p>I think the purple region of the map on the following link is similar to the map on the test. Word of warning: it might take a long time to load for those on 56K and such. </p>

<p>I don't exactly remember the Great Zimbabwe question, but I put something about iron-working.</p>

<p>For the "secrecy" question, I put Lenin. I was pretty sure about that.</p>

<p>Yeah, so I second-guessed myself left and right on this test, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. I was totally clueless on most of those Hindu/Indian culture ones, like what Gandhi promoted the reformation of (I think I put the caste system), the Mughal empire questions (I put the Taj Mahal was a Mughal building, pretty sure), and so forth. I'm really forgetting a lot of questions right now.</p>

<p>For the Ghandi question, I put satyraha (sp) which related to nonviolent protest. Also there was another quote from the Bhagadavita where the choices were like
a) social mobility
b) support for the caste system</p>

<p>I put b for that.</p>

<p>Gandhi did advocate the reformation of the caste system, and the Taj Mahal is definitely an example of Mughal architecture. I don't remember what it said about satyagraha though. Maybe it didn't go as badly as you think, Aboo ;-). The quote from the Bhagavad Gita was about devotion to one's own dharma, so it was about the caste system for sure.</p>

<p>Can anyone provide some justification for the secret revolution = Lenin answer?</p>
