A development of railroads B demand for better medical facilities C increases in the number of new factories D growth of cities The phrase “served as” is closest meaning to A differed from B functioned as C rested upon D reacted to The word “this” refers to A lard B charcoal C wick D oil Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a disadvantage of camphene?

A It was first developed in the United States B It was not allowed to be used in public buildings C It was not widely available until mid- century D It had an unpleasant smell The word “resembled” is closest in meaning to A was similar to B cost the same asC was made from D sounded like According to the passage, what advantage did the kerosene patented by Gesner have over camphene? A Kerosene had a more pleasant smell B Kerosene was less expensive C Kerosene burned more brightly D Kerosene was safer to use The word “it” refers to A fortune B odor C camphene D kerosene Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
