Questions 20 and 21. These questions are designed to test your reading comprehension skills on a basic and more advanced level. Read the passages
below and mark the letter of the most correct answer. There are no trick questions.
A
free market
describes a market without economic intervention and regulation by government except to regulate against force or fraud. The terminology is used by economists and in popular culture. A free market requires protection of property rights, but no regulation, no subsidization, no single monetary system, and no governmental monopolies. It is the opposite of a controlled market, where the government regulates prices or how property is used.
The theory holds that within the ideal free market, property rights are voluntarily exchanged at a price arranged solely by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers. By definition, buyers and sellers do not coerce each other, in the sense that they obtain each other's property rights without the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or fraud, nor are they coerced by a third party (such as by government via transfer payments) and they engage in trade simply because they both consent and believe that what they are getting is worth more than or as much as what they give up. Price is
the result of buying and selling decisions en masse as described by the law of supply and demand.
Free market economics is closely associated with
laissez-faire
economic philosophy, which advocates approximating this condition in the real world by mostly confining government intervention in economic matters to regulating against force and fraud among market participants. Some free market advocates oppose taxation as well, claiming that the market is more efficient at providing all valuable services of which defense and law are no exception, that such services can be provided without direct taxation and that consent would be the basis of political legitimacy making it a morally consistent system.

Romans 7:14-25
: "14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I
do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree
that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at
work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body
of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature
a slave to the law of sin."

Read the paragraph below to answer the following four questions.
The foreboding city of Baghdad brings chills of fear that are only penetrated by its transcendent sunsets. The rocky ground just beneath the barrel of my rigid M240B machine gun is carefully scanned for explosives. Just beyond the
rocks is the desolate road which mocks my worries by providing the enemy a
valued avenue of approach. The brisk draft runs farther down my spine as I hear the eerie prayers shouted from rooftop to rooftop. The hateful noise belongs to the cloaked black figures bowing in unison. In the distance, beyond the menace, an exquisite array of colors pierces my doubts. Finally, my chill is warmed by an orange sun falling slowly out of sight. The clouds dance just above the sun. They remind me of the joy provided by my salvation. It is then I realize, even in the valley of the shadow of death I find peace; the hand of God has painted a magnificent sunset just for me.

Refer to the paragraph below in order to answer the following four questions.
In censorship, silence is not always golden. The word "censorship” means to silence, limit, or repress information, whether in the media, through music, artistic expression, political, social, theological, or educational information, not within the norms of a particular mode of thought concerning those particular standards that they each support. Rather, it is the control of information showing itself in the form of a boycott, embargo, injunction, restriction, and last but not least, “silence.” Censorship is not permission, a green light, nor an allowance of complete self-expression. In today’s world, the computer’s phrases: “to delete”, “empty recycle bin” or even “erase from the hard drive” could mean censorship. Sometimes people confuse censorship with the thought of limiting it to only a couple of types or that censorship is always valid or deserving. Others think it only comes through a dictatorship type of government. A few examples would be a court-imposed gag order: a judicial judge signs a paper to put a hush order on the media, regarding information that can compromise a case. Still another example, would be by taking the 5th Amendment, individuals can choose to remain

Churches have their own laws and standards, some of which in ancient Biblical times even silenced women (1 Timothy 2: 11-14).

In most bridal stores, the dresses are larger than the average woman’s size; therefore, I had a difficult time envisioning myself wearing most that I had chosen to try on. Yet, the first one

the street. Once upon a time, I knew tens of thousands of people in all the churches we visited; meeting new people as we traveled back to these places yearly. Unfortunately, in my husband’s home town, I have found it difficult to even make new friends or meet new people. Prior, traveling meant
that I was surrounded by people all the time. Currently, I spend most of my days alone, seldom leaving my bedroom except to do chores or spend time with the kids. As a minister and minister’s daughter, I found myself in church several days a week; ministering in each service to one degree or another. In
my husband’s home church I am seldom asked to minister, yet I still receive calls from time to time asking me to minister in other churches. I do not like traveling alone so I seldom accept many offers to minister outside my home church. This change of lifestyle is the hardest transition of my adult life; from

boat will be used for should help determine the type of boat to be purchased.
Stream boats are usually small, light, and easy to maneuver from place to place. Most stream boats require only one operator and are typically smaller making them the simplest to use. The next choice one might consider is an inland boat; while an inland boat might be larger than a stream boat, their size is still more maneuverable in smaller bodies of water and can be operated easily by one or two operators in most cases. Most inland boats maintain a somewhat shallower draw (draw is the amount of water required under a boat for it to float) allowing them to maneuver in and out of shallower water. Finally, the last category is the deep-sea boat class; these boats are made for the big, open water and are capable of withstanding much larger waves. In most applications, a deep-sea boat can carry more passengers and cargo than the smaller inland variations, making it the ultimate camper or getaway. Boating is a great time, even when the fish are not biting pick the right size and kind of boat and the fun is increased. So, to avoid feeling in over your head when buying a boat for the first time, make certain to weigh the options of the different classifications of boats; the first time boat buyer needs to assess the facts and various models to make the best selection.

Many features combine to create the perfect football experience; these features include: the competition between the two teams, the fans, and the setting. The competition between the two football teams brings everyone to the stadium for the game. These two opposing and talented groups come prepared for the game, having practiced for weeks. The chemistry created by
the fierce athletes, driven to win, stirs up tension between the two groups of fans, who come ready to cheer on their team. These eager and zealous fans show their support through screams, standing, shouting, jumping up and down, and blowing horns. Marching bands and cheerleaders also show their support. The marching bands play different songs in the stands like “Hey, Baby” or “Go, Big Red!” The cheerleaders cheer their hearts out to inspire the fans to get excited about the conflict on the field. The football game setting also contributes to the perfect football experience. The crisp, fall air inspires fans to wear sweatshirts and bring fleece blankets. The big, blaring lights draw attention to the activity on the field, even in the dark of night. Warm hot chocolate, hot dogs, and nachos add to the overall football experience.

(1)When a person visits a hotel, hospital, or a shopping center, a person may
encounter a housekeeper from time to time, trying to keep that particular type of facility clean. He or she may see a housekeeper cleaning a room in a hotel, emptying trash cans in a shopping center, or using an automatic scrubber to maintain the main hallways of a hospital. The operating room housekeeper, however, most likely has the most unique job of any other housekeeping position, due to the environment, the surroundings he or she can work in, the dress code that is required to work in surgery, and the many
dangers he or she will face on a daily basis.
(2)The operating room housekeeper must become familiar with his or her surroundings; becoming familiar with the surroundings inside and outside the
operating room will help the housekeeper stay safe and help him/her clean each operating room efficiently. Knowing where the overhead lights and monitors are in an operating room can be the difference, preventing a housekeeper from getting injured on the job and cleaning the room properly. Also, a housekeeper must wear the proper uniform before entering the surgery area to help prevent infections.

must be handled with care, knowing how to dispose them properly can prevent a housekeeper from getting a needle stick. Blood spills and broken glass must be handled with caution, especially if broken glass is found with blood present; having the proper tools and equipment will help the housekeeper from getting cut on the broken glass. Handling these types of situations properly will help the housekeeper stay safe and cleaning the rooms more enjoyable.
(5)There are many things a housekeeper must be aware of while working in the surgery area, he or she can encounter many dangers on a daily basis; however, with proper training and education, the housekeeper can be prepared for any situation he or she may encounter while working in surgery.
Knowing what to do can help a housekeeper clean more efficiently and avoid any serious injuries while working in one of the most unique environments a housekeeper can work in.

Read the below Essay to answer the following three questions.
Essay: Marriage is Sacred
(1) Couples should understand that when they marry they are entering into the most sacred of institutions established by God; it is a Holy covenant, not

to be taken lightly. In addition, it is the first covenant established between God and mankind. Until this day, it seals their relationship until death; therefore, the marriage covenant produces oneness that honors God, creating a binding contract in his eyes.
(2) God wants marriage to reflect the church’s relationship with Jesus Christ because the church is the bride, preparing to meet the bridegroom. When couples develop intimacy with God, it also strengthens the marriage. Per Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology, there is currently a 50% divorce rate in marriages in and outside of the church. This is evidence that couples no longer take their commitment and vows seriously, and it is almost impossible to honor vows without acknowledging the sacredness of the marriage contract. Consequently, the marriage covenant brings strength to relationships helping them to endure.
(3) The covenant of marriage also protects the family unit. It is the vehicle that allows sexual expression not provided in other unions. The children born of couples, who are in covenant, reap the benefits of their parent’s faithfulness to each other and to God. These couples also insulate themselves and their families from the enemy that would destroy homes and
ruin relationships. The odds of couples committed to covenant relations, committing adultery, divorcing or separating is not as great as those who are
not committed.
(4) The marriage covenant is the most import contract entered into by man. Dennis Rainey, a well known Christian minister, writes that “For the past two years I have had a growing concern that the Christian community has passively watched the 'dummying down' of the marriage covenant. Marriage has become little more than an upgraded social contract between two people-not a holy covenant between a man and a woman and their God for a
lifetime.” Couples, who are in covenant marriages, provide stability for their families and communities; it has more impact on community than anyone could ever imagine because the covenant is the cornerstone for all relationships.
(5) The scriptures are clear about marriage being holy in God’s sight; consequently, married couples must take their vows serious if the current trend in divorce, in and outside the church, is to change. Acknowledging this will greatly impact and reverse the current culture and views on marriage. Because God so loved us, he designed the sanctity of marriage for our protection from generation to generation.
