Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: The second major point on which the principals had agreed on March 10 was the need to crack down on terrorist organizations and curtail their fund-raising.
Sent 2: The embassy bombings of 1998 had focused attention on al Qaeda's finances.
Sent 3: One result had been the creation of an NSC-led interagency committee on terrorist financing.
Sent 4: On its recommendation, the President had designated Bin Laden and al Qaeda as subject to sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Sent 5: This gave theTreasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) the ability to search for and freeze any Bin Laden or al Qaeda assets that reached the U.S. financial system.
Sent 6: But since OFAC had little information to go on, few funds were frozen.
Sent 7: In July 1999, the President applied the same designation to the Taliban for harboring Bin Laden.
Sent 8: Here, OFAC had more success.
Sent 9: It blocked more than $34 million in Taliban assets held in U.S. banks.
Sent 10: Another $215 million in gold and $2 million in demand deposits, all belonging to the Afghan central bank and held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, were also frozen.
Sent 11: After October 1999, when the State Department formally designated al Qaeda a "foreign terrorist organization," it became the duty of U.S. banks to block its transactions and seize its funds.
Sent 12: Neither this designation nor UN sanctions had much additional practical effect; the sanctions were easily circumvented, and there were no multilateral mechanisms to ensure that other countries' financial systems were not used as conduits for terrorist funding.
Sent 13: Attacking the funds of an institution, even the Taliban, was easier than finding and seizing the funds of a clandestine worldwide organization like al Qaeda.
Sent 14: Although the CIA's Bin Laden unit had originally been inspired by the idea of studying terrorist financial links, few personnel assigned to it had any experience in financial investigations.
Sent 15: Any terrorist-financing intelligence appeared to have been collected collaterally, as a consequence of gathering other intelligence.
Sent 16: This attitude may have stemmed in large part from the chief of this unit, who did not believe that simply following the money from point A to point B revealed much about the terrorists' plans and intentions.
Sent 17: As a result, the CIA placed little emphasis on terrorist financing.
Sent 18: Nevertheless, the CIA obtained a general understanding of how al Qaeda raised money.
Question: What was a result of the Embassy bombings of 1998? (A) It focused attention Al-Qaeda's finances (B) The President's designation of Bin Laden and al Qaeda as subject to sanctions (C) The creation of al Qaeda (D) The designation of al Qaeda a "domestic terrorist organization" (E) Gathering other intelligence (F) Foreign terrorist organization.

Answer: B.

Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Alexander earned the epithet "The Great" due to his unparalleled success as a military commander.
Sent 2: He never lost a battle, despite typically being outnumbered.
Sent 3: This was due to use of terrain, phalanx and cavalry tactics, bold strategy, and the fierce loyalty of his troops.
Sent 4: The Macedonian phalanx, armed with the sarissa, a spear 6 metres (20 ft) long, had been developed and perfected by Philip II through rigorous training, and Alexander used its speed and maneuverability to great effect against larger but more disparate Persian forces.
Sent 5: Alexander also recognized the potential for disunity among his diverse army, which employed various languages and weapons.
Sent 6: He overcame this by being personally involved in battle, in the manner of a Macedonian king.
Sent 7: In his first battle in Asia, at Granicus, Alexander used only a small part of his forces, perhaps 13,000 infantry with 5,000 cavalry, against a much larger Persian force of 40,000.
Sent 8: Alexander placed the phalanx at the center and cavalry and archers on the wings, so that his line matched the length of the Persian cavalry line, about 3 km (1.86 mi).
Sent 9: By contrast, the Persian infantry was stationed behind its cavalry.
Sent 10: This ensured that Alexander would not be outflanked, while his phalanx, armed with long pikes, had a considerable advantage over the Persian's scimitars and javelins.
Sent 11: Macedonian losses were negligible compared to those of the Persians.
Sent 12: At Issus in 333 BC, his first confrontation with Darius, he used the same deployment, and again the central phalanx pushed through.
Sent 13: Alexander personally led the charge in the center, routing the opposing army.
Sent 14: At the decisive encounter with Darius at Gaugamela, Darius equipped his chariots with scythes on the wheels to break up the phalanx and equipped his cavalry with pikes.
Sent 15: Alexander arranged a double phalanx, with the center advancing at an angle, parting when the chariots bore down and then reforming.
Sent 16: The advance was successful and broke Darius' center, causing the latter to flee once again.
Sent 17: When faced with opponents who used unfamiliar fighting techniques, such as in Central Asia and India, Alexander adapted his forces to his opponents' style.
Sent 18: Thus, in Bactria and Sogdiana, Alexander successfully used his javelin throwers and archers to prevent outflanking movements, while massing his cavalry at the center.
Question: Why was Alexander considered a military leader of unparalleled success? (A) He was armed with the sarissa (B) He was really big: 6 metres (20 ft) long (C) He never lost a battle (D) His unparalleled losses as a military commander (E) Being outnumbered.

Answer: C.

Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Federal agents on Tuesday raided a South Florida office of Dr. Salomon Melgen, an eye doctor whose past issues with authorities had already entangled Sen. Robert Menendez.
Sent 2: With yellow crime tape strung up outside, men and women lugged box after box of materials from Melgen's West Palm Beach office into awaiting minivans.
Sent 3: Both members of the federal Health and Human Services department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation took part in the search, which FBI Special Agent Michael Leverock said was the second at the same Melgen clinic -- the other coming last January.
Sent 4: "As this is part of an ongoing investigation, (authorities have) no further comment/information at this time," said Leverock.
Sent 5: That means no official details as to what authorities were looking for.
Sent 6: Even if it has nothing to do with his record as a generous political donor, Tuesday's raid suggests Melgen's legal troubles and perhaps their negative impact on Menendez, the senior U.S. senator from New Jersey are far from over.
Sent 7: Confessions show sex claims were 'false smears,' senator says The doctor's lawyer contended that Tuesday's search was the government's way of getting back at Melgen, after he sued over Medicare payments.
Sent 8: Even so, Matthew Menchel, the attorney, said that Melgen will continue to work with authorities.
Sent 9: "While we believe that today's intrusion was in retaliation and there was no legitimate need for the search, the FBI's actions will not prevent Dr. Melgen from continuing his full cooperation with the government," Menchel said.
Sent 10: The doctor first came to the attention of many around Washington when The Daily Caller, a conservative website, published a report shortly before the November 2012 election citing several Dominican women who claimed they'd had sex with Menendez for money.
Sent 11: The New Jersey Democrat staunchly denied the accusation.
Sent 12: And in March, Dominican police announced three women had been paid to claim -- falsely -- that they had sex with Menendez.
Sent 13: While that part of the story died down, the episode raised questions about why and how Menendez admittedly flew to the Dominican Republic three times in 2010 on Melgen's private plane.
Question: What year did three women claim they were paid to say they had sex with Menendez? (A) 2010 (B) 2013 (C) 2012.
