Chapter: Chapter 01 - Living in an Upside Down World
Note to the Instructor:
Based on test-taking research, where students will often choose “C” when in doubt about a multiple-
choice question or go for the choice with the longest answer, these test questions were made so that
each answer seems like a viable answer to those who haven’t studied the text. In this new edition, several
new questions have been created based on new content as well as some questions reworked from
previous content. The best test is where students are able to demonstrate a command of facts and a
synthesis of knowledge, which is why several forms of questions are included for you to use. While every
attempt has been made to ensure the accuracy of these test questions, it is incumbent upon you as the
instructor to review and validate each question and answer before using it as a bona fide test question
(and if you see an error, please kindly let us know). In the age of grade inflation, these test questions are
meant to serve as a platform for you to create your own test questions, and we encourage you to do so.
