individual to decide what happens to
himself,
and these rights have been called the
"Patient's
Bill of Rights."
41.
C.
Throughout the passage it is stressed that
a
give and take attitude must exist in the
decision
making process, and paragraph three points
out
that Rousseau advocated a social contract
because
human beings are different. Paragraph four
leaves
no doubt that beneficence and autonomy must
be
weighed and applied to reach a
decision.
42.
D.
Although every statement is correct and
was
espoused by Hippocrates, the passage does
not
deal with them, and so it neither
contradicts
nor supports the information presented in
the
question.
43.
A.
Paragraph six emphasizes that
burden/
benefit aspects of treatment must be
weighed.
Sometimes life itself, or the treatment
proposed
to sustain life, is so problematical that
patients
opt for the right to die. It was previously
pointed
out that education of the patient is essential
for
proper medical practice. Paragraph six
makes
the point that the courts understand the
concept
of the right to die better than most
physicians.
The paragraph gives the example of
artificial
feeding, which may become so problematical
in
the respect that any benefit from the
intervention
is minimal.
44.
D.
There should be no doubt in the
reader's
mind that the passage argues strongly for
educa-
tion, a balance in the decision-making
process,
consultation between physician and patient,
and
among physicians, and above all that
patients'
rights should never be negated.
45.
D.
The last paragraph makes it perfectly
clear
that the history of a comic book (True Comics)
is
detailed.
46.
C.
The last paragraph points out that the idea
of
a comic book with true stories was unique,
but
True Comics stood alone in the respect that it
car-
ried editorials.
47.
D.
A thorough reading leads the reader to
con-
clude that besides selling magazines, the
publisher
preached recycling, patriotism, and
fitness.
48.
C.
Paragraph three ends with the statement
that
the publisher was an avid internationalist, a
glob-
alist.
49.
B.
Paragraph one clearly indicates that it was
an
editorial in the comic book that was the
first
acknowledgment of America's entry into
World
War II. The editor was interested in reaching
the
young and making them aware of how they
could
contribute to the national effort.
50.
C.
Paragraph eight mentions that paper
had
become scarce and all comic books were forced
to
cut the number of pages, and editorials
seemed
dispensable.
51.
D.
The last paragraph makes it perfectly
clear
that Mr. Hecht had confidence in the ability
and
willingness of American youth. It is pointed
out in
paragraph six that a linguist would be able
to
explain the principles of democracy. The
whole
passage deals with the ideas and ideals of a
strong
willed and daring individual; the first
sentence of
paragraph seven should be convincing.
Although
the editor talks about international courts
and
forces, he does not propose the notion that
such
cooperation would prevent all future
wars.
52.
D.
Of the four titles listed "Herbert
Hoover--
Relief, Politics, and War" is the most
appropriate
one. Herbert Hoover was the food czar of
the
United States during World War I and
thereafter
helped with international relief efforts. He
became
president in 1928 and after his loss to
Roosevelt in
1932 continued to play a role in the political
arena.
He was afraid that the United States would
enter
World War II and hoped for a negotiated
peace.
53.
A.
Although it is true that Hoover had
many
contacts and was a brilliant organizer, our
passage
really does not focus on this issue at all.
Para-
graph one pictures Hoover as a humanitarian
and
paragraph two mentions that the Democrats ran
a
smear campaign. Hoover as is mentioned in
many
places in the passage actively sought the
presi-
dency continuously.
54.
D.
Roosevelt ran a smear campaign
against
Hoover (paragraph two). No mention of
humani-
tarianism and of being self-made is made in
the
passage. It is, however, clear from paragraph
four
that Roosevelt opposed the relief
efforts.
55.
A.
Paragraph two mentions that Hoover's
name
was blighted by the 1932 campaign. Hoover
was
influential from World War I until his death.
Para-
graphs three and five detail the
convention
defeats, and four indicates that Poland,
Finland,
Holland, Belgium, and Norway solicited his
help.
