Read the following paragraph from “Katherine Johnson Biography.”

In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Katherine Johnson was called upon to do the work that she would become most known for. The complexity of the orbital flight had required the construction of a worldwide communications network, linking tracking stations around the world to IBM computers in Washington, DC, Cape Canaveral, and Bermuda. The computers had been programmed with the orbital equations that would control the trajectory of the capsule in Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission, from blast off to splashdown, but the astronauts were wary of putting their lives in the care of the electronic calculating machines, which were prone to hiccups and blackouts. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl”—Katherine Johnson—to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,’” Katherine Johnson remembers the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” Glenn’s flight was a success, and marked a turning point in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space.
Question 1

Part A

What is the author’s point in this paragraph?

The flight of the Friendship 7 mission is made possible by the construction of a worldwide communications network.
John Glenn asks questions about Katherine’s mathematical calculations.
Katherine’s contributions help make the Friendship 7 mission happen and to establish the United States as leaders in space.
Astronauts regularly depend on the calculations made by machines.

Question 2

Part B

What evidence best supports the answer to Part A?

"...but the astronauts were wary of putting their lives in the care of the electronic calculating machines, which were prone to hiccups and blackouts."
"The complexity of the orbital flight had required the construction of a worldwide communications network,..."
"As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to 'get the girl'..."
"Glenn’s flight was a success, and marked a turning point in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space."

The purpose of this passage is to emphasise Katherine's vital contribution to the Friendship 7 mission's success, which in turn served to position the United States as a space powerhouse.

John Glenn's voyage was particularly significant because he was the first American to orbit the Earth. He was the third and fifth American in space.

(MC)The Emancipation Proclamation, excerpt


BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A PROCLAMATION.


I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States, and each of the States, and the people thereof, in which States that relation is, or may be, suspended or disturbed.


That it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent, with their consent, upon this continent, or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the Governments existing there, will be continued.


That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.


That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States, and part of States, if any, in which the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State, or the people thereof shall, on that day be, in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States, by members chosen thereto, at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States.


That attention is hereby called to an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to make an additional Article of War" approved March 13, 1862, and which act is in the words and figure following:


‘‘Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That hereafter the following shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the army of the United States, and shall be obeyed and observed as such:


Article —. All officers or persons in the military or naval service of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the purpose of returning fugitives from service or labor, who may have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due, and any officer who shall be found guilty by a court-martial of violating this article shall be dismissed from the service.


SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this act shall take effect from and after its passage."


Read the text below:


[Those] who may have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due


Which of the following is true of this excerpt?


A. The phrase claimed to be due implies a lack of credibility.

B. The word escaped suggests the mode of departure was immoral.

C. The phrase such service or labor suggests the labor is unjust.

D. The inclusion of the phrase to be due implies the escapees must return.
