At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works Question 43: The word “it” in second paragraph refers to A American literature B the energy C the population D the manufacing Question 44: The word “exotic” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A well-know B unusual C urban D old-fashioned Question 45: The phrase “these years” in the third paragraph refers to _ A the present B the 1900s C the early 1800s D 1850-1900 Question 46: All of the following can be inferred from the passage about the new literature EXCEPT _ A It was not highly regarded internationally B It broke with many literary traditions of the past C It introduced new American themes, characters, and settings D It spoke to the issue of reform and change Question 47: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the previous passage probably discussed A the limitations of American literature to this time B the importance of tradition to writers C new developments in industrialization and population shifts D the fashions and values of 19th century America Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that Walt Whitman _ A disliked urban life B wrote Leaves of Grass C was an international diplomat D was disapproving of the new literature Question 49: The main idea of this passage is _ A that the new American literature was less provincial than the old B that most people were wary of the new literature C that World War I caused a dramatic change in America D that centers of culture shifted from East to West Question 50: This passage would probably be read in which of the following academic courses?
