Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise

to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility Increasingly, too, schools

were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society.

The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the

century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling By 1920

schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly

lengthened Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and

counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies

Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations Immigrant women were once such population Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home

Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well

as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and

outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however,

overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers

cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date

A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group

or an individual, and specialized communication through performance A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or

uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group,

a person's tone may indicate unsureness or fright, confidence or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone

may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them Here the
