Question: 216
3. Lines 1-7 imply that Sandra Day O'Connor did all of the following EXCEPT
- A. succeeded as a student in law school.
- B. worked as a secretary for a law firm.
- C. applied to prestigious law firms for employment.
- D. served on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B
For choice (A), the passage states, "When former United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor graduated from Stanford Law School, the prestigious California law firms of the day would not hire her as a lawyer. Despite the fact that she graduated third in her class, the only job offer she received was as a legal secretary." For choice (C), the passage states, "When former United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor graduated from Stanford Law School, the prestigious California law firms of the day would not hire her as a lawyer. For choice (D), the passage states, "When former United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor graduated from Stanford Law School, the prestigious California law firms of the day would not hire her as a lawyer." Choice (B) is not supported; she was offered a job as a secretary, but the passage does not state that she accepted such a job.
