单选题Seeking to build support among black families for its education reform law, the Bush administration paid a prominent black pundit $ 240,000 to promote the law on his nationally syndicated television show and to urge other black journalists to do the same. The campaign, part of an effort to promote No Child Left Behind (NCLB) , required commentator Armstrong Williams "to regularly comment on NCLB during the course of his broad-casts," and to interview Education Secretary Rod Paige for TV and radio spots that were aired during the show in 2004. Williams said Thursday he understands that critics could find the arrangement unethical, but "I wanted to do it because it's something I believe in. " The top Democrat on the House Education Committee, Rep. George Miller of California, called the contract "a very questionable use of taxpayers' money" that is "probably illegal". The contract, detailed in documents obtained by USA TODAY through a Freedom of Information Act request, also shows that the Education Department, through the Ketchum public relations firm, arranged with Williams to use contacts with America's Black Forum, a group of black broadcast journalists, "to encourage the producers to periodically address" NCLB. He persuaded radio and TV personality Steve Harvey to invite Paige onto his show twice. Harvey's manager, Rushion McDonald, confirmed the appearances.

Questions 96-100 are based on
the following passage. In most aspects of medieval
life, the closed corporation prevailed. But compared to modern life, the
medieval urban family was a very open unit: for it included, as part of the
normal household, not only relatives by blood but a group of industrial workers
as well as domestics whose relation was that of secondary members of family.
This held for all classes, for young men from the upper classes got their
knowledge of the world by serving as waiting men in a noble family: what they
observed and overheard at mealtime was part of their education. Apprentices
lived as members of the master craftsman's family. If marriage was perhaps
deferred longer for men than today, the advantages of home life were not
entirely lacking, even for the bachelor. The workshop was a
family; likewise the merchant's counting house. The members ate together at the
same table, worked in the same rooms, slept in the same or common hall,
converted at night into dormitories, joined in the family prayers, participated
in the common amusements. The intimate unity of domesticity and
labour dictated the major arrangement within the medieval dwelling-house itself.
Houses were usually built in continuous rows around the perimeter of their
gardens. Freestanding houses, unduly exposed to the elements, wasteful of the
land on each side, harder to heat, were relatively scarce: even farmhouses would
be part of a solid block that included the stables, barns and granaries. The
materials for the houses came out of the local soil, and they varied with the
region. Houses in the continuous row forming the closed perimeter of a block,
with guarded access on the ground floor, served as a domestic wall: a genuine
protection against felonious entry in troubled times. The
earliest houses would have small window openings, with shutters to keep out the
weather; then later, permanent windows of oiled cloth, paper and eventually
glass. In the fifteenth century, glass, hitherto so costly it was used only for
public buildings, became more frequent, at first only in the upper part of the
window. A typical sixteenth-century window would have been divided into three
panels: the uppermost panel, fixed, would be of diamond-parted glass; the next
two panels would have shutters that opened inwards; thus the amount of exposure
to sunlight and air could be controlled, yet on inclement days, both sets of
shutters could be closed, without altogether shutting out our light. On any
consideration of hygiene and ventilation this type of window was superior to the
all-glass window that succeeded it, since glass excludes the bactericidal
ultra-violet rays.
