In 1925, a schoolteacher named John T. Scopes taught evolution in Dayton, Tennessee. The local authorities indicted Scopes, and his case came to trial. William Jennings Bryan agreed to help prosecute Scopes, and the American Civil Liberties Union brought in the noted trial lawyer Clarence Darrow for the defense. The proceedings attracted national attention and the trial became a media circus. The
judge refused to let Darrow call in scientists to defend evolution. Darrow summoned Bryan as an expert witness on the Bible. The two men sparred for several days. Bryan defended the literal interpretation of the Bible, but to the reporters covering the trial he seemed to wither under Darrow's cross-examination. Sophisticated Americans regarded Bryan as a joke, but in rural America he remained a hero. The jury found Scopes guilty and assessed him a small fine. Bryan died shortly after the trial. To many Americans, the Scopes trial seemed to signal the end of fundamentalism, and the political side of the movement did lose momentum during the late 1920s. But during the same period fundamentalism returned to its roots. It concentrated on creating a network of churches, schools, and colleges where its doctrines could be taught to future generations. The forces underlying fundamentalism during the 1920s would remain a potent element in American culture. According to the passage, Clarence Darrow was a. a well-known minister. b. a representative of the ACLU. c. a famous judge. d. a famous trial lawyer.
For each item, decide whether the topic listed for the paragraph is too broad, too narrow, or the
correct topic for the paragraph. Choose the letter of the correct answer. Noise can increase the secretion of adrenaline1 in humans, perhaps because our distant ancestors associated loud sounds, like a lion's roar or a baby's scream, with danger. The greater the sound, the greater the adrenaline rush. Dr. Les Blomberg theorizes that racetracks try to be as loud as possible because the noise excites the fans. "That's why exercise classes crank up the decibels,2 and rock bands, and action movies," he observes. "In effect, noise becomes a drug they're pumping out and into you." Adapted from Richard Wolkomir and Joyce Wolkomir, "Noise Busters," Smithsonian, March 2001, 99. Topic: Noise a. too broad b. too narrow c. correct topic
