Questions 41 - 45 : Read the following passage and then choose the best answer to the
questions by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C, or D.
It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and
people live during America's frontier days were no exception. However, because life was hard
and the necessities of day-to-day living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be
combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of recreation
was logrolling. Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was
necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed
to move the cut trees. After a settler had cut a bunch of trees, he would then invite his
neighbors over for a logrolling.
A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work
and fun. The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to
relax and chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would
hold lively competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible.
This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to clear the
land.
