Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions
As Philadelphia grew from a small town into a city in the first half of the eighteenth century,
it became an increasingly important marketing center for a vast and growing agricultural
hinterland. Market days saw the crowded city even more crowded, as farmers from within a radius
of 24 or more kilometers brought their sheep, cows, pigs, vegetables, cider, and other products for
direct sale to the townspeople. The High Street Market was continuously enlarged throughout the
period until 1736, when it reached from Front street to Third. By 1745 New Market was opened on
Second Street between Pine and Cedar. The next year the Callowhill Market began operation. Along
with market days, the institution of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia even after similar
trading days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The fairs provided a means of bringing

handmade goods from outlying places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from
Germantown, for example, were popular items.
Auctions were another popular form of occasional trade. Because of the competition, retail
merchants opposed these as well as the fairs. Although governmental attempts to eradicate fairs
and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary course of economic development was on the
merchants' side, as increasing business specialization became the order of the day. Export merchants
became differentiated from their importing counterparts, and specialty shops began to appear in
addition to general stores selling a variety of goods.


One of the reasons Philadelphia's merchants generally prospered was because the
surrounding area was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth. They did their
business, after all, in the capital city of the province. Not only did they cater to the governor and his
circle, but citizens from all over the colony came to the capital for legislative sessions of the
assembly and council and meetings of the courts of justice.
34. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Philadelphia's agriculture importance
B. Philadelphia's development as a marketing center
C. The administration of the city of Philadelphia
D. The sale of imported goods in Philadelphia
35. It can be inferred from the passage that new markets opened in Philadelphia because
______________.
A. existing markets were unable to serve the growing population.
B. farmers wanted markets that were closer to the farmers.
C. they provided more modern facilities than older markets.
D. the High Street Market was forced to close .
36. The word "hinterland" is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. region
B. association
C. produce

D. tradition
37. According to the passage, fairs in Philadelphia were held ___________.
A. as often as possible
B. a couple of times a year
C. on the same day as market says
D. whenever the government allowed it
38. It can be inferred that the author mentions "Linens and stockings" to show that they were items
that ____________.
A. retail merchants were not willing to sell
B. were not available in the stores in Philadelphia
C. were more popular in Germantown than in Philadelphia
D. could easily be transported
39. What does the author mean by stating that "economic development was on the merchants' side"?
A. Merchants had to work together to achieve economic independence.
B. Merchants had a strong impact on economic expansion.
C. Specialty shops near large markets were more likely to be economically successful.
D. Economic forces allowed merchants to prosper.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions
As Philadelphia grew from a small town into a city in the first half of the eighteenth century, it
became an increasingly important marketing center for a vast and growing agricultural hinterland.
Market days saw the crowded city even more crowded, as farmers from within a radius of 24 or
more kilometers brought their sheep, cows, pigs, vegetables, cider, and other products for direct sale
to the townspeople. The High Street Market was continuously enlarged throughout the period until
1736, when it reached from Front street to Third. By 1745 New Market was opened on Second

Street between Pine and Cedar. The next year the Callowhill Market began operation. Along with
market days, the institution of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia even after similar trading
days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The fairs provided a means of bringing
handmade goods from outlying places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from
Germantown, for example, were popular items.
Auctions were another popular form of occasional trade. Because of the
competition, retail
merchants opposed these as well as the fairs. Although governmental attempts to eradicate fairs
and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary course of economic development was on the
merchants' side, as increasing business specialization became the order of the day. Export merchants
became differentiated from their importing counterparts, and specialty shops began to appear in
addition to general stores selling a variety of goods.
One of the reasons Philadelphia's merchants generally prospered was because the surrounding area
was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth. They did their business, after all,


in the capital city of the province. Not only did they cater to the governor and his circle, but citizens
from all over the colony came to the capital for legislative sessions of the assembly and council and
meetings of the courts of justice.
