BUT I AM NOT SURE SO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE
To answer the first question, "How has South Carolina changed politically since the 1970s?", the correct answer is: Race has become the most important political issue. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options:
- County governments were eliminated: This is not true, as county governments still exist in South Carolina.
- The Democratic Party has gained more power in the state: This is not necessarily true, as South Carolina has historically been a Republican-leaning state.
- The Republican Party has gained more power in the state: This is partly true, as the Republican Party has indeed gained more power in South Carolina, but it is not the most important political change since the 1970s.
For the second question, "Which describes Hurricane Hugo’s impact on South Carolina’s economy?", the correct answer is: The hurricane destroyed much of the coast and caused the state to suffer an economic slowdown. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options:
- Hugo caused billions of dollars in damage but rebuilding efforts kept the state’s economy growing: This is not true, as the hurricane caused significant damage and resulted in an economic slowdown.
- Most South Carolinians fell into debt as they paid insurance companies to repair the damage: This may have happened to some individuals, but it does not describe the overall impact on the state's economy.
- Construction companies charged high interest rates to rebuild destroyed homes and shops: While there may have been instances of companies charging high interest rates, it does not accurately describe the overall impact on the state's economy.
For the third question, "Which best describes the cultural changes of the 1960s youth movement?", the correct answer is: Some young people rebelled against traditional values through music, dress, and new lifestyles. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options:
- Some young people began listening to jazz rather than rock bands such as the Beatles and Rolling Stones: This is not an accurate description of the cultural changes of the 1960s youth movement, as the Beatles and Rolling Stones were popular among the youth during that time.
- Young people became more conservative in dress and beliefs: This is not true, as the cultural changes of the 1960s youth movement were characterized by a rebellion against traditional values, leading to more liberal and countercultural expressions.
- Young married women cut their hair short and began wearing makeup: While some young women may have adopted these changes, it does not fully capture the overall cultural changes of the 1960s youth movement.
For the fourth question, "Who regularly presides over the South Carolina senate?", the correct answer is: lieutenant governor. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options:
- Governor: While the governor may have an influential role in South Carolina politics, they do not regularly preside over the Senate.
- Senate pro tempore: The Senate pro tempore is a role within the Senate, not the presiding officer.
- Speaker of the house: The speaker of the house presides over the state's House of Representatives, not the Senate.
For the last question, "Which action does NOT occur in a committee?", the correct answer is: signing a bill into law. Committees are responsible for reviewing and considering bills, not signing them into law. Signing a bill into law is typically done by the executive (governor or president) or sometimes by the presiding officer of the legislative body.
