Read the passage carefully.

1. Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.

2. Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were produced with sixteen stars.

3. As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars - one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error.

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 from 641 to 645.

Parent/teen conflict is common; the important thing is for parents to assure their teen it is safe to have their say and that you will respond. It isn't a calm and sunny relationship with a parent that gives a teenager the strength he or she needs - it is an open, trusting relationship that offers respect even in the face of heated disagreement. These conflicts often help teens hone their distinctive identities, but parents should follow some general rules:

Avoid humiliation: shaming your son or daughter by outlining their faults will reinforce divisions between you. Teenagers list "being judged" as among their pet peeves with parents. Judging and listening are mutually exclusive.

Minimise problems: avoid saying things such as "You'll forget all about this in no time", or, "you're too young to be serious about this". Instead say: "yes, this makes sense to me" (not "I feel the same" or "I know just what you mean").

Show your interest: skip over the tension between you and focus on something positive. Offer to help with practical things, such as getting him the school supplies he needs or buying her a magazine or book you know she would like.

Present a different perspective: "What about looking at it another way?" is more likely to be accepted than "that's not how it is".

Explain negative responses: when you object to something a daughter says or wants to do, explain your response in terms of your feelings and beliefs: "when you talk to me like that I feel..." rather than, "you have a bad attitude".
