This part consists of a reading passage, followed by several related question. For each question, choose the most appropriate answer based on the text.

“Let them eat cake” is the most famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread. Because cake is more expensive than bread, the anecdote has been cited as an example of Marie-Antoinette’s obliviousness to the conditions and daily lives of ordinary people. But did she ever actually utter those words? Probably not.

The original French phrase that Marie-Antoinette is supposed to have said— “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche” translates as “Let them eat brioche.” There is absolutely no historical evidence that Marie-Antoinette ever said “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche” or anything like it. So where did the quote come from, and how did it become associated with Marie-Antoinette?

The first person to put the specific phrase “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche” into print may have been the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In Book VI of Rousseau’s Confessions (written about 1767), he relates a version of the story, attributing the quote to “a great princess.” Although Marie-Antoinette was a princess at the time, she was still a child, so it is unlikely that she was the princess Rousseau had in mind.

Since Rousseau’s writings inspired the revolutionaries, it has sometimes been supposed that they picked up on this quote, falsely credited it to Marie-Antoinette, and spread it as propaganda, as a way to rouse opposition to the monarchy. However, contemporary researchers are skeptical of such claims, having found no evidence of the quote in newspapers, pamphlets, and other materials published by the revolutionaries.

Amazingly, the earliest known source connecting the quote with the queen was published more than 50 years after the French Revolution. In an 1843 issue of the journal Les Guêpes, the French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr reported having found the quote in a “book dated 1760,” which he said proved that the rumor about Marie-Antoinette was false. Rumor? Like so many of us, he was probably just repeating something he had heard.

Sir Winston Churchill was born on November 30, 1874 and died on January 24, 1965. He was a British politician who was one of the longest serving members of parliament in British history (1900-1964 with only a two-year gap in the middle, between the years of 1922-1924). In the years of 1940-1945 and 1951-1955 he served as the Prime Minister of the British government, and led the British Empire during World War II and in the rebuilding process afterwards, including the development of the British nuclear power. 

Between the years 1895-1900, Churchill served in the British army in India, Sudan and South Africa, during which he participated in two wars (Anglo-Sudanese and the Second Boer war). In the latter, he started out as a war correspondent, but after being taken captive and escaping prison, joined the British forces as a fighter. In World War I, Churchill started the war as the First Lord of the Admiralty, but due to bad decisions (namely, the Gallipoli campaign which was a military disaster), resigned his post and joined the troops that were fighting on the Western Front in France for six months. He then returned to the government as Minister of Munitions. 

In 1920 Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer (equivalent of Minister of Finance) and his re-instating of the gold standard caused major economic problems which in turn led to his political sidelining until the start of World War II. Apart from his political career, Churchill also won Nobel prizes for his writing and was a renowned painter.
