PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Iwasaki's careful respect for the Long Beach program and its lawyers earned him the political capital he needed to complete his takeover in a matter of weeks.
Sent 2: "The Long Beach program had strong support in the community so in a situation like that, one has to recognize that it's not like a takeover where I have all the answers and I know best," Iwasaki said.
Sent 3: "The people in the community who are working there have the contacts and the knowledge that will allow service to continue."Sent 4: Things have gone less smoothly across town.
Sent 5: There, Dudovitz, a longtime poverty lawyer and executive director of the San Fernando Valley's 36-year-old legal aid program, continues to struggle with his hostile takeover of the neighboring San Gabriel-Pomona Valleys service area one year after it was accomplished.
Sent 6: On the bright side, Dudovitz has extended his respected program to clients in the San Gabriel-Pomona Valley, and he now operates on a much larger budget, $6.5 million last year.
Sent 7: However, his clash with the old San Gabriel program resulted in litigation, bitter feelings and a mission that some say is not clearly focused on serving poor people.
Sent 8: "It was a difficult situation that was probably mishandled by everyone," a longtime observer of the public interest community said of the San Fernando Valley-San Gabriel-Pomona Valley merger.
Sent 9: "There are very few people who come out as the heroes.
Sent 10: Personalities got involved when they shouldn't have.
Sent 11: Things were said that caused bad feelings and couldn't be unsaid."Sent 12: Iwasaki's merger with the smaller, 48-year-old Long Beach program was friendly and fast, and no one - not even Long Beach board members - lost a job.
Sent 13: When it was over, Iwasaki had $1 million more in federal dollars and two new offices.
Sent 14: Long Beach clients regained services they had lost years ago when federal budget cuts and dwindling grants reduced the staff of 15 lawyers to five and cut immigration and consumer law programs.
Sent 15: Iwasaki said, "[I judged the transition] better than I could have hoped for.".
Question: What is the difference in the ages of the Long Beach and San Fernando Valley programs?.

SOLUTION: 8.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Alexis-Charles-Henri Clerel de Tocqueville (French: [aleksi SaRl aRi kleRel d@ tokvil]; 29 July 1805 - 16 April 1859) was a French political thinker and historian best known for his works Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856).
Sent 2: In both of these, he analyzed the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals, as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies.
Sent 3: Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States, and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.
Sent 4: Tocqueville was active in French politics, first under the July Monarchy (1830-1848) and then during the Second Republic (1849-1851) which succeeded the February 1848 Revolution.
Sent 5: He retired from political life after Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's 2 December 1851 coup, and thereafter began work on The Old Regime and the Revolution.
Sent 6: He argued that the importance of the French Revolution was to continue the process of modernizing and centralizing the French state which had begun under King Louis XIV.
Sent 7: The failure of the Revolution came from the inexperience of the deputies who were too wedded to abstract Enlightenment ideals.
Sent 8: Tocqueville was a classical liberal who advocated parliamentary government, but was skeptical of the extremes of democracy.
Question: In which books did Tocqueville analyze living conditions?.

SOLUTION: Democracy in America.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: I had drunk too much, I confess, though we all had.
Sent 2: Somehow, Tasha and I began to argue the worth of Solevgrad jazz, as inconsequential a topic as I can imagine.
Sent 3: She had studied it in school, so she thought herself as an expert.
Sent 4: I once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly, so I thought I knew it better.
Sent 5: Malaquez tried to mediate, but I saw him as siding with Tasha.
Sent 6: So, I think, did she.
Sent 7: The subject shifted from music to Tasha's obsession with fame, undoubtedly by a leap that I made.
Sent 8: She had no choice but to follow.
Sent 9: (I do not remember any of this well, just now, nor do I care to.
Sent 10: Those who are truly curious may look at the last act of "Captured Moments.") I remember suggesting, with characteristic tact, that she add Emil to her small list of major accomplishments.
Sent 11: Malaquez glanced away, embarrassed.
Sent 12: Tasha looked at me as if to say, "I will."Sent 13: She said, "I feel sorry for you, Nardo.
Sent 14: I'll see Emil home."Sent 15: "Yes," I said, "Do that," and did not care what she did, or why.
Sent 16: Emil asked, "You're all right?"Sent 17: I muttered something he must have interpreted as assent.
Sent 18: They both walked up to Emil's home while I watched the scarlet moonlight ripple on distant waves.
Sent 19: Disgusted with Tasha but more disgusted with myself, I finally realized she would not return that night and went into The Sleeping Flamingo to drink myself to sleep.
Sent 20: She had not come home when I woke in mid-morning.
Question: Why did Tasha think herself an expert in Solevgrad jazz?.

SOLUTION:
Because she studied in school.
