Read the following passage from "What's in an Inkblot? Some Say, Not Much" and answer the questions that follow. Psychology has produced few more popular icons than the Rorschach inkblot test. Devised 80 years ago by a young Swiss psychiatrist, the Rorschach has entered the language as a synonym for anything ambiguous enough to invite multiple interpretations. And beyond its pop culture status, it has retained a central role in personality assessment, administered several hundred thousand times a year, by conservative estimates, to both children and adults. In custody disputes, for example, the test is used to help determine the emotional fitness of warring parents. Judges and parole boards rely on it for insight into a prisoner’s criminal tendencies or potential for violence. Clinicians use it in investigating accusation of sexual abuse, and psychotherapists, as a guide in diagnosing and treating patients. Yet almost since its creation, the inkblot test has also been controversial, with early critics calling it “cultish” and later ones deeming it “scientifically useless.” And in recent years, academic psychology departments have been divided over the merits of the test, and some have stopped teaching it.

Which words from the excerpt signal a contrast from one idea to the next?
A."And beyond its pop culture status, ..
." B."In custody disputes, for example, ...
" C."Yet almost since its creation, ..."
D."And in recent years, ..."

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
