About one million years ago, the Ice
Age began. The Ice Age was a long period of time in which four great glaciers
pushed southward to cover almost all the upper half of North America, and then
melted away. Each glacier was a thick sheet of ice and snow that spread out from
a centre near what is now Hudson Bay in Canada. The winters were long, and the
cool summers were too short to melt much of the ice and snow. The ever-growing
sheet built up to a thickness of two miles at its centre. As all
glaciers do, these great glaciers slid. They pushed down giant trees in their
paths and scraped the earth bare of soil. Many animals moved farther south to
escape. Others stayed and were destroyed. When winters of little
snow came, the summer sun cut into the edges of the ice sheets. As the glaciers
melted, rocks, soil and other things A. the Ice Age was a long period of time B. great glaciers covered North America many years ago C. changes in climate helped to melt the glaciers D. how glaciers changed North America

The crucial years of the Depression, as
they are brought into historical focus, increasingly emerge as the decisive
decade for American art, if not for American culture in general For it was
during this decade that many of the conflicts which had blocked the progress of
American art in the past came to a head and sometimes boiled over. Janus-faced,
the thirties look backward, sometimes as far as the Renaissance; and at the same
time forward, as far as the present and beyond. It was the moment when artists,
like Thomas Hart Benton, who wished to turn back the clock to regain the virtues
of simpler times came into direct conflict with others, like Stuart Davis and
Frank Lloyd Wright, who were ready to come to terms with the Machine Age and to
deal with its consequences. America in the thirties was changing
rapidly. In many areas A. uniquely America B. uniquely European C. imitative of European modernism D. counter to American regionalism
