Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
All North American canids have a doglike appearance characterized by a graceful body, long muzzle, erect ears, slender legs, and bushy tail Most are social animals that travel and hunt in groups or pairs After years of persecution by humans, the populations of most North American canids, especially wolves and foxes, have decreased greatly The coyote, however, has thrived alongside humans, increasing in both numbers and range
Its common name comes from coyotl, the term used by Mexico’s Nahuatl Indians, and its scientific name, canis latrans, means “barking dog” The coyote’s vocalizations are varied, but the
most distinctive are given at dusk, dawn, or during the night and consists of a series of barks
followed by a prolonged howl and ending with a short, sharp yap This call keeps the band alert to
the locations of its members One voice usually prompts others to join in, resulting in the familiar chorus heard at night throughout the west
The best runner among the canids, the coyote is able to leap fourteen feet and cruise normally
at 25-30 miles per hour It is a strong swimmer and does not hesitate to enter water after prey In
feeding, the coyote is an opportunist, eating rabbits, mice, ground squirrels, birds, snakes, insects, many kinds of fruit, and carrion – whatever is available To catch larger prey, such as deer or
antelope, the coyote may team up with one or two others, running in relays to tire prey or waiting
in ambush while others chase prey toward it Often a badger serves as involuntary supplier of
smaller prey: while it digs for rodents at one end of their burrow, the coyote waits for any that may
emerge from an escape hole at the other end
Predators of the coyote once included the grizzly and black bears, the mountain lion, and the wolf, but their declining populations make them no longer a threat Man is the major enemy, especially since coyote pelts have become increasingly valuable, yet the coyote population continues
to grow, despite efforts at trapping and poisoning

At the turn of the twentieth century, people's attitudes toward money were far more conservative than they are today Borrowing and being in debt were viewed as a moral failing, almost
as a disgrace Thrift and saving were highly prized, and people who needed to borrow to make ends meet were seen as careless, unreliable, or extravagant The focus in the economy as a whole was on developing large corporations like railroads, oil companies, and other companies that produced basic goods and services
Then, in the 1920s, the economy changed A huge network of banks and financial institutions developed, helping money to move more quickly and easily through the economy At the same time, the economy was increasing its focus on consumer goods-clothing, cars, household appliances, and other things that individuals buy To help promote the sale of these items, consumers were
encouraged to buy on credit If they could not afford an item right away, a store or a bank might lend
them the money, which they could pay back in installments
With the development of consumer credit and installment purchases, people's attitudes toward debt and spending changed The model citizen was no longer someone who was thrifty, buying only what he or she needed People were respected less for being thrifty than for knowing how to use their money to buy as many things as possible — an attitude that persists at the turn of the twenty-first century

B The growth of railroads
C The increase in installment purchases
D The growth of banks and financial institutions
