Answer 1

I am only doing this because some of the answers you were given are wrong. The answers are easy to find on the web, really.
1. A 2. B 3. B 4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 8. C 9. C 10. C 11. A 12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C 16. A 17. C 18. D 19. A 20. C 21. C 22. C 23. C 24. C 25. A

Some people are giving you the wrong answers, maybe just to teach you a lesson. I prefer you see the correct answers and learn. Please find the time to look these up in your text or on the net.

For instance, number 19. The correct answer is A. It is kind of tricky. The NASA website said NASA started in 1958, B is incorrect. Alaska & Hawaii were admitted in July and August 1959. So C is wrong. Eisenhower sent some of the 101st Airborne to protect the Little Rock Nine, so D is wrong.

Therefore A must be correct. That is semantics. The Korean War did continue for a while, but the key here is it ended during the Eisenhower administration, not continued. So since B,C & D are wrong, A is more correct.

Answer 5

You know Morgan, in the time it must have taken you to type the list of questions into YA you could have googled for the answers yourself and learnt a lot in the process. It's really much more satisfying and rewarding to do the research yourself than take the easy option and get other people to do it for you.

Answer 6

I believe number 14 is A

Answer 7

If your doing your homework. You should find out the answers for your self the old fashioned way. Otherwise there is no point in taking the test.

How do you know if the people that have answered you are correct.

If it is not homework. You must be board!

Answer 8

Morgan, do your own reading and answer the questions yourself. That way you will feel good about yourself and will not be cheating. Time for you to grow up and stop asking others on this site to do your work. Cheating is a blot on your reputation.

Chow!!
