VII Read the passage and choose the best answer (A,B ,C or D) to each of the
questions Then mark your choice on the answer sheet
The use of multiple - choice testing in American society has its beginnings in the idea of a meritocracy ,that is ,a society where the rulers or elites are chosen not through their wealth or connections but on their ability or merit This idea can be traced as far back as the ancient Greeks Even the ancient Chinese created examinations for the purpose of electing
government officials.The notion of a society based on merit has always been favored in the United States This has also been a country where the belief in universal individual
opportunity has been greatly admired
Until the Second World War , however , elite selection through higher education , and the opportunity for ordinary citizens to achive their goals were separate and unrelated ideas The introduction of widespread testing which was both reliable and valid meant that both these
goals could be pursued together This opportunity occurred when the United States entered
the Second World War The U.S Navy decided to test new recruits in order to find which of them were suitable for college education before beginning military service The eventual aim was for these recruits to be better able to perform higher-level military tasks
Because of the large number of people who had to be tested ,it was necessary to use a test which could be quickly and reliably administered and scored at several test sites
simultaneously On April 2,1943 , the first mass testing was administered to 325,000 young men The success of the program meant that educational testing could be performed not just for elite selection but to give opportunity to the large mass of ordinary citizens
