". . . [In] the late 1960s, conservative Protestants succeeded not only in making alliances with Republican politicians, but in changing the agenda of the party. . . . [This] time, they focused more on the culture wars than the Cold War. Conservative Protestants who mobilized against feminism, abortion, pornography, and gay rights acquired control of the Republican Party, partly because of their long-standing alliances with Republican politicians, but perhaps more important because of the united front they presented, and because of demographic and political shifts that favored evangelicals. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Christian Right was the most powerful group in the GOP."

"The middle-class white family structure of the 1950s consisted of cookie-cutter houses, cars, and fashion. . . . [T]he mass media proved it could point people into certain sartorial and class codes of the suburbanite. Americans were expected to dress a certain way, and the avalanche of commercial imagery that accompanied the postwar boom — magazines; advertisements; and the new "Information Bomb," television — supplied constant reminders. Doris Day, Father Knows Best, Betty Furness, Ronald Reagan for General Electric — these were the voices and imagistic role models of suburbanization."

The developments described in the excerpt best illustrate which of the following?

"The struggle against the totalitarian forces of Stalinism is not merely of a military character. It is political and ideological in nature as well. We stand opposed to the doctrines which enslave men, reduce men to mere automatons. We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of man, that man is an end in himself, that only in a genuinely free society can man attain his true nature. We believe that given equality of opportunity, each individual, irrespective of color, religion, national origin, or race, can realize his true self."

Which of the following United States actions most directly resulted from the sentiments expressed in the excerpt?

"As soon as they announced an embargo, one of President Nixon's top advisers dubbed it 'an Energy Pearl Harbor.' There were no bombs, no bloodshed, no loss of life. But the embargo stunned Americans, as if they had come under a surprise attack, if not an outright act of war, because of the serious implications for the economy and the country's security. By 1973, Americans relied on oil for almost half of all their energy needs, and each day imports made up an expanding portion of the country's supply. . . . Oil was both the lifeline of the economy and vital resource for the country's national defense. American oil had played a decisive role in the Allies' World War II victory, and with the Cold War raging on, U.S. oil remained a top national security concern."

Which of the following US actions most directly contributed to the developments described in the excerpt?

"If the police do not protect homosexuals as they have not protected us in the past, then I can see in the near future a separate police force paid for and operated by the homophile community. Unless restrictive laws are changed, unless the courts uphold the rights of homosexuals, we shall have no alternative but to go to the Supreme Court and overturn these laws that state all men are treated equally in our courts except for homosexuals. If politicians do not openly address themselves to homosexuals, it will be because they do not need our 90,000 votes in San Francisco. We shall put in office public servants who will talk to homosexuals.
"We ask no special favor. We want only ordinary rights like every other citizen of these United States— jobs, homes, friends, social lives, safety and security.
"Here is our challenge to San Francisco: FACE REALITY—FACE HOMOSEXUALITY."

Arguments similar to those expressed in the excerpt were later employed to justify which of the following?

"The head pin was China. It is down already. The two pins in the second row are Burma and Indochina. If they go, the three pins in the next row, Siam, Malaya, and Indonesia, are pretty sure to topple in their turn. And if all the rest of Asia goes, the resulting psychological, political, and economic magnetism will almost certainly drag down the four pins of the fourth row, India, Pakistan, Japan, and the Philippines."

The ideas about Asia expressed in the excerpt are most consistent with which of the following?

Excerpt 1:
"It would be an unspeakable tragedy if these countries, which have struggled so long against overwhelming odds, should lose that victory for which they sacrificed so much. Collapse of free institutions and loss of independence would be disastrous not only for them but for the world. . . . "In addition to funds, I ask the Congress to authorize the detail of American civilian and military personnel to Greece and Turkey, at the request of those countries, to assist in the tasks of reconstruction, and for the purpose of supervising the use of such financial and material assistance as may be furnished."

Excerpt 2:
"As we meet here today, we stand on the threshold of a new era of peace in the world. . . . This past year saw far-reaching results from our new policies for peace. By continuing to revitalize our traditional friendships, and by our missions to Peking and to Moscow, we were able to establish the base for a new and more durable pattern of relationships among the nations of the world. . . . Let us continue to bring down the walls of hostility which have divided the world for too long, and to build in their place bridges of understanding — so that despite profound differences between systems of government, the people of the world can be friends. Let us build a structure of peace in the world."

"In the 1950's this America worried about itself, yet even its anxieties were products of abundance. . . Now the American city has been transformed. The poor still inhabit the miserable housing in the central areas, but are increasingly isolated from contact with, or sight of, anybody else. . . . [T]he poor are politically invisible. It is one of the cruelest ironies of social life in advanced countries that the dispossessed at the bottom of society are unable to speak for themselves. The people of the other America do not, by far and large, belong to unions, to fraternal organizations, or to political parties. They are without lobbies of their own; they put forward no legislative program. As a group, they are atomized. They have no face; they have no voice . . ."

According to the passage, which of the following best explains the most important effect that mass media had on society?

"Truman's commitment to civil rights, and perhaps most significantly his desegregation of the armed forces, brought him important political benefits. For one thing, most African Americans who voted supported Truman in 1948. Perhaps most significantly, Truman's desegregation of the armed forces helped offset negative perceptions of the Democratic Party caused by Southern segregationists in Congress and elsewhere, and it helped prevent the Republican Party from regaining its pre-New Deal level of support among African Americans."

For it is a revolutionary development, probably to be ranked among the half dozen or so major innovations in man's two or more million years of history.

"The disaster was, in fact, no greater than several oil tanker spills the world had suffered but, with the scenic beauty of the Californian coast as a backdrop, it still made for great television.
