State representative Brandi Chapman is running for a seat in the state senate. She has been a hard working legislator and was twice voted the best representative by the GGB (Good Government Bureau). At the time the GGB voted her opponent, incumbent Cal Stateman, one of the ten worst senators in state history. Most political analysts believe Chapman would be the superior senator. Stateman has taken a “no new taxes” pledge and has challenged Chapman to take the same pledge. Chapman knows taxes may have to be raised in order to keep the state solvent. Nevertheless, she also knows that unless she promises to oppose any new taxes, she will lose the election. What should Chapman do and why? What would you do in her place and why?

Read the paragraph from "1906 Marked the Dawn of the Scientific Revolution."
The 1906 earthquake marked the dawn of modern scientific study of the San Andreas fault system in California.
Before 1906, earthquake research in the U.S. had advanced slowly compared to efforts in Japan and Europe.
The first seismographs in the U.S. were installed in 1887, at the Lick Observatory (Mount Hamilton, California)
and at the University of California at Berkeley. Around the turn of the century, a small number of geology
professors at U.S. universities and geologists working for the U.S. Geological Survey contributed some of the
earliest observations of earthquake-related features and compiled the earliest lists of historic earthquakes in
the U.S. Relatively little was understood at the time about earthquakes, how and where they occurred, or the
hazard they would present to our westward-bound, expanding nation. The theory of plate tectonics was still
more than a half-century away.
A central idea of this article is that studying the 1906 earthquake led to great advances in earthquake science. How
does this paragraph develop that idea?
1906 Marked the Dawn of the Scientific Revolution
It describes the experience that the scientists had before the 1906 earthquake.
It identifies the equipment that the scientists would use in the 1906 study.
o It engages readers by making the California earthquake scientists seem like underdogs.
It contrasts the study with the relatively primitive science that came before it.
