Question: 143
Due process, the guarantee of fairness in the administration of justice, is part of the 5th Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution. The 14th Amendment further requires states to abide by due process. After this amendment was
enacted, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down many state laws that infringed on the civil rights guaranteed to
citizens in the Bill of Rights.
According to the above passage, it’s reasonable to assume that the 5th Amendment ___________.
A. is about taxes
B. guarantees due process in all criminal and civil cases
C. guarantees due process in federal law
D. should never have become part of the Bill of Rights
Answer: C
Because the 14th Amendment guarantees due process in states’ laws, the 5th Amendment must guarantee due
process only in federal law. Nothing in the passage implies that the 5th Amendment is about taxes, so Choice " is
about taxes " is wrong.
Because the passage states that the 14th Amendment had to be enacted to require states to abide by due process,
Choice "guarantees due process in all criminal and civil cases" is incorrect. Choice "should never have become
part of the Bill of Rights" is neither stated nor implied in the passage.

Question: 146
I returned from the City about three o’clock on that May afternoon pretty well disgusted with life. I had been three
months in the Old Country and was fed up with it. If people had told me a year ago that I would’ve been feeling
like that I should’ve laughed at them; but there was the fact. The weather made me liverish, the talk of the ordinary
Englishman made me sick, I couldn’t get enough exercise, and the amusements of London seemed as flat as soda
water that had been standing in the sun.
