All of these questions were written from the content of the reading.
This is not an open note or open book quiz. Do not use anything, other than your memory to attempt these.
If you fail it, you may retake it one time - your prior correct answers will be saved. However, your max score would be a 70% percent (7/10) - this keeps it fair for those who took it once, missed two questions but cannot retake it.
