Fill in only the ovals for numbers 1 through 54 on your answer sheet.  \nIndicate all of your answers to the multiple-choice questions on the answer sheet. No credit will be given for anything written in this exam booklet, but you may use the booklet for notes or scratch work. After you have decided which of the suggested answers is best, completely fill in the corresponding oval on the answer sheet. Give only one answer to each question. If you change an answer, be sure that the previous mark is erased completely. Here is a sample question and answer.  \nSample Question  \nChicago is a  \n(A) state  \n(B) city  \n(C) country  \n(D) continent  \n(E) village  \nSample Answer  \nA  C D E   \nUse your time effectively, working as quickly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend too much time on any one question. Go on to other questions and come back to the ones you have not answered if you have time. It is not expected that everyone will know the answers to all the multiple-choice questions.  \nAbout Guessing  \nMany candidates wonder whether or not to guess the answers to questions about which they are not certain. Multiple choice scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly. Points are not deducted for incorrect answers, and no points are awarded for unanswered questions. Because points are not deducted for incorrect answers, you are encouraged to answer all multiple-choice questions. On any questions you do not know the answer to, you should eliminate as many choices as you can, and then select the best answer among the remaining choices.  \nGO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.  \n1 5 4 | Cracking the AP English Language & Composition Exam  \nSection I  \nENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION  \nSECTION I  \nTime—1 hour  \nDirections: This part consists of selections from prose works and questions on their content, form, and style. After reading each passage, choose the best answer to each question and completely fill in the corresponding oval on the answer sheet.  \nNote: Pay particular attention to the requirement of questions that contain the words NOT, LEAST, or EXCEPT.  \nQuestions 1-10. Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answers.  \n(The following passage is from Jonathan Swift’s 1729 essay“A Modest Proposal.”)  \nThere only remains one hundred and twenty thousand children of poor parents annually born. The question  \ntherefore is, how this number shall be reared and provided Line for, which, as I have already said, under the present situation  \n5 of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed. For we can neither employ them in handicraft or agriculture; we neither build houses (I mean in the country) nor cultivate land: they can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing, till they arrive at six years old, except where  \n10 they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier, during which time, they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers, as I have been informed by a principal gentleman in the county of Cavan, who protested to me that he never knew above one or two  \n15 instances under the age of six, even in a part of the kingdom so renowned for the quickest proficiency in that art.  \nI am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl before twelve years old is no salable commodity; and even when they come to this age they will not yield above three  \n20 pounds, or three pounds and half-a-crown at most on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriment and rags having been at least four ","cbCaifUhzBM8J7cB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifUhzBM8J7cB","pdf",1247032,23,"English","# Section I: Multiple-Choice Questions\n## Instructions and Answer Sheet Guidance\n## Sample Question and Answer\n## About Guessing\n## Reading Passages and Directions\n## Questions 1-10","[{\"question\":\"How many multiple-choice questions are in Section I?\",\"answer\":\"Section I contains 54 multiple-choice questions.\"},{\"question\":\"What should test takers do with their answers?\",\"answer\":\"Fill in only the ovals for numbers 1 through 54 on the answer sheet, giving only one answer per question.\"},{\"question\":\"Does the exam deduct points for incorrect answers or unanswered questions?\",\"answer\":\"Points are not deducted for incorrect answers, and no points are awarded for unanswered questions.\"}]","Practice Test 1 | PDF",1789893999,58]
