III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each
of the question below.
Throughout the centuries, wars have been fought whenever disputes cannot be solved.

Wars occurred within a country as well as among countries.
The American Civil War that had fought between 1861 and 1865 was between the
nouthern and southern states in America itself on the issue of slavery. In the end, the
southern states were beaten and the slaves were freed. Often, when different groups within
a country cannot reach a compromise, a war will dominate the country.
Revolutions also occur in a country when the people are unhappy. In 1918, the
Germans were unhappy with their inefficient government, the Weimar Republic. The
people used violence to remove their government. Like the war in America, lives were lost
and property was destroyed.


World War I and II saw a large scale violence as countries everywhere fought their
enemies to protect their own interests. Soldiers fought for their own countries as well as
those the had formed allies with. Later wars resulted in even more bloodshed as
improvements in weapons and ammunition enabled violence to be done on an even larger
scale.

a. people wish to experiment on weapons

22.Which of the followings is the reason for the civil war in America?
a.there were different opinions towards slavery.
b.the slaves were dissatisfied with their lives
c.the northern states dominated the southern ones.
d. The slave required their rights.
23.Why did the Germans remove their government?
a. They liked to use weapons
b. They wanted to occupy more property from the government.
c. Their government did not work effectively and they were dissatisfied.

d.The government forced people to attend war.
24.What is the similarity of the American Civil War and the Wars of the Germans?
a. No compromise was made.
b.The governments were removed.
c.The slave gained freedom.
d.They both caused loss of human and property.
