Question: 300

4. What does the author mean when she says "this democratic land" in the third paragraph?

  • A. London
  • B. France
  • C. Europe
  • D. England

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

E When the author states that "the influence of this custom extends across the ocean, and here, in this democratic land…," she references a specific place. Throughout the passage, the author references England or London, so "Across the ocean" refers to across the Atlantic Ocean. The only option listed as a country that could be across this ocean and is also democratic is (E), the United States.
