Dear Diary,
So today I spent a lot of time researching the requirements to become a substitute teacher in the state of Illinois. They are not too bad, though a little expensive. Anyway, it looks like I might have to pass a "test of academic proficiency" in order to get certified for 5 years.
Part of the test is about reading comprehension. There was a sample question which had an article about the U.S. Founding Fathers that looked like it was straight out of a history text book. So basically the question is, which of the answers looks most like it would fit into an elementary school history text book? All of the answers except B made me laugh. This could be a fun test!
Love,
Joe
12. Which of the following sentences, if added between Parts 6 and 7 of the second paragraph, would be most consistent with the writer's purpose and intended audience?
A. Some folks knew better than to jump on Hamilton's bandwagon, which was sure to face a bumpy road once the country really got going.
B. On the contrary, many people living in the United States, including Thomas Jefferson, did not want their
new nation to become heavily industrialized.
C. How anybody could fail to see the fact that Hamilton clearly had the best plan for the future of this country is totally beyond me.
D. Rather, there were those who viewed the Federalist geopolitical and economic strategy as a movement
toward tyrannical despotism and away from democratic ideology.
