The quality of exaggeration, of thinness, which had made her passionate eyes and down-turning mouth absurd at eleven, was gone now. She was arrestingly beautiful.

Read the paragraphs below and answer the questions that follow. Although the earliest Puritan colonists had not lacked economic ambitions, their religious zeal, their lack of capital, and overriding need for cooperation while building a new society led them to emphasize collective welfare above individual interest. Over time, however, the fabric of community ties loosens as populations began dispersing away from town centers. Beside putting pressure on Native Americans, this process of "hiving out" generated friction between the townspeople settled near the meetinghouse (who usually dominated politics) and the "outlivers," whose distance from the town center generally limited their influence over town affairs. Meanwhile, developments outside the agricultural sector of New England's economy were sparking even more serious tensions. Most early settlers were small landowners with few luxuries. By the late seventeenth century, however, the region's occupational structure had become more complex, especially in its several port cities, and the distribution of wealth was growing more uneven. These developments undermined the spirit of community by sowing jealousy and creating the anxiety that a small minority might be profiting at the majority's expense. At the same time, New England's rising involvement in international trade led individuals--in both cities and the countryside—to act more competitively, aggressive, and impersonal toward one another. John Winthrop's vision of a religiously oriented community sustained by a sense of reciprocity and charity were giving way to a world increasingly like the materialistic, acquisitive society that the original immigrants had fled in England. Nowhere in New England did these trends have more disturbing effects than in Salem, Massachusetts, which grew rapidly after 1660 to become the region's second-largest port. Trade made Salem prosperous but also destroyed the relatively equal society for humble fishermen and small farmers that had once existed. A sharp distinction emerged between the port's residents—especially its rich merchants—and outlying farmers. Prior to 1661 the richest 10 percent of Salem residents owned 21 percent of the town's property, but by 1681 the richest tenth possessed 62 percent of all wealth. Salem's farmers lost not only social standing to the merchants but also political power. Before 1665 twice as many farmers as merchants had held the town meeting's highest offices, but thereafter, merchant officeholders outnumbered those who were farmers by six to one. Salem became highly vulnerable to internal conflict between its prosperous merchants and its agricultural folk. The following questions correspond to the specific underlined phrases and words in the passage above. For each question, select the most correct option. In some questions you will be asked reading questions that will test your understanding of the passage. According to the passage, what was the main reason for the inequality that developed in Salem? A. The rising involvement of New England in trade B. The movement of the population to rural areas outside of town C. The transfer of power to the farmers and those who lived away from town D.
