Read the following passage then answer the question.      When the Mayflower left Plymouth, England, in September 1620 on its historic journey to the New World, three of its 102 passengers were pregnant. The fate of the three pregnant women and their children illustrate the fears that early American women facing childbirth must have held for themselves as well as for their children’s survival.  One of the passengers, Elizabeth Hopkins, gave birth at sea to a baby boy she named Oceanus.  Oceanus Hopkins died during the Pilgrims’ first winter in Plymouth.  Two weeks after Oceanus’s birth, Mayflower passenger Susanna White bore her son, Peregrine, who lived into his eighties.  The spring after the Mayflower arrived in Plymouth, passenger Mary Norris Allerton died giving birth to a stillborn baby.       During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, nearly one and one-half percent of all births resulted in the death of the mother from exhaustion, infection, dehydration, or hemorrhage.  Since the typical mother gave birth to between five and eight children in her lifetime, her chances of dying in childbirth ran as high as one in eight.  Even when the mother survived childbirth, she had reason to be anxious about the fate of her child.  In even the healthiest seventeenth-century communities, one in ten children died before the age of 5.  Less healthy settlements say three out of ten children dying in their early years. The author’s attitude toward the facts is…

Read the following passage then answer the question.      The eyes themselves can send several kinds of messages.  Meeting someone’s glance with your eyes is usually a sign of involvement, whereas looking away often signals a desire to avoid contact.  This is why solicitors on the street-panhandlers, salespeople, petitioners-try to catch our eye.  Once they’ve managed to establish contact with a glance, it becomes harder for the approached person to draw away.  Most of us remember trying to avoid a question we didn’t understand by glancing away from the teacher.  At times like these we usually became very interested in our textbooks, fingernails, the clock-anything but the teacher’s stare. Of course, the teacher always seemed to know the meaning of this nonverbal behavior, and ended up calling on those of us who signaled our uncertainty.      Another kind of message the eyes communicate is a positive or negative attitude.  When someone glances toward us with the proper facial expression, we get a clear message that the looker is interested in us-hence the expression “making eyes.”  At the same time, when our long glances toward someone else are avoided by that person, we can be pretty sure that the other person isn’t as interested in us as we are in him or her.  (Of course, there are all sorts of courtship games in which the receiver of a glance pretends not to notice any message by glancing away, yet signals interest with some other part of the body.)      The eyes communicate both dominance and submission.  We’ve all played the game of trying to stare somebody down, and in real life there are also times when downcast eyes are a sign of giving in.  In some religious orders, for example, subordinate members are expected to keep their eyes downcast when addressing a superior.   The word solicitors in the third sentence means…
