Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Chester Arthur, the 21st President of the United States, was an unlikely holder of the highest office in land. Born in Vermont in 1830, he was the son of an Irish immigrant father and a New Hampshire mother. After becoming a lawyer in New York, he joined the Republican Party and eventually came to hold a number of state offices there, including a position as head of the New York Customs House. Though personally honest, Arthur's administration was marred by corrupt practices, and he was removed from office in 1878. When James Garfield was elected as the Republican Party's presidential candidate in 1880's, Arthur, who belonged to a faction that had supported the denomination of President Grant, was offered the Vice-presidency as a conciliatory gesture. Arthur accepted, and then, in 1881, was elevated to the Presidency following Garfield's assassination. In view of his far from unblemished record and his lack of strong political support, even within his own party, Arthur's move to the White House was viewed with great concern by many Americans, but, to the astonishment of most, his administration proved to be a competent and honest one. However, he never was elected President in his own right, being defeated for the nomination at his party's convention in 1884, and dying in November two years later of Bright's disease during the presidency of a Democrat, Grover Cleveland.

D. one in which corruption was not eradicated from Arthur's office until 1878. Question 4: Why was Arthur invited to become Garfield's running-mate? A. because his support for President Grant was half-hearted. B. because there was a danger of Garfield's being assassinated. C. because of his previous record in office. D. because Garfield wanted to hold the Republican Party together. Question 5: During his years as President, Arthur was _________. A. far from unblemished in his conduct. B. a pleasant surprise to most people. C. a cause of great concern to the American people. D. the focus of strong political support. Question 6: Who was 20th President of the United States? A.

They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and reading of music.
