This question is based on the following two passages.

"The liberal reforms of the New Deal did not transform the American system; they conserved and
protected American corporate capitalism, occasionally by absorbing parts of threatening programs.
There was no significant redistribution of power in American society, only limited recognition of
other organized groups.…The New Deal failed to solve the problem of depression, it failed to raise
the impoverished, it failed to redistribute income, it failed to extend equality and generally
countenanced racial discrimination and segregation."
Barton J. Bernstein, Towards a New Past, 1968
Barton J. Bernstein, "The New Deal: The Conservative Achievements of Liberal Reform," in
Barton J. Bernstein, ed., Towards a New Past: Dissenting Essays in American History (New York:
Pantheon Books, 1968), 263–288.

"But it is not the variety of change which stamps the New Deal as the creator of a new America;
its significance lies in the expansion and permanence of its programs. There is another measure of
the New Deal’s significance in American social and political history. No Republican administration
since then has repudiated the New Deal’s essentials.…The New Deal Revolution has become so
much a part of the American Way that no political party that aspires to office even dreams of
repudiating it. The conclusion seems inescapable that, traditional as the words may have been in
which the New Deal expressed itself, in actuality it was truly a revolution in ideas, institutions and
practices, when one compares it with the political and social world that preceded it."
Carl N. Degler, Out of Our Past, 1984
Carl N. Degler, Out of Our Past, 3rd ed., (New York: HarperPerennial, 1984).

Based on the two interpretations above relating to the legacy of the New Deal, complete the
following three tasks:

a. Briefly explain the main point made in Passage 1.
b. Briefly explain the main point made in Passage 2.
c. Provide ONE piece of evidence from the era of the New Deal that is not included in the passages
and explain how it supports the interpretation in either passage.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc
