In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in
Society: The Basics, Sixteenth Edition and increased the number of questions by 50
percent so that this test bank covers all the new material that has been added and
better meets your needs. The questions are tagged according to four levels of learning
that move from lower-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The four levels:
Recollection: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
Understanding: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas
Application: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation
