Read this paragraph from the dark game. another thing that changed very little in the years between the wars was the means of obtaining military intelligence. although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances, the craft of spying on the enemy's army still relied on fieldwork. for the most part, intelligence was gathered in simple ways. prisoners of war and deserters were interrogated. the union army was always interested in hearing what runaway slaves had to report. and, of course, both armies relied on cavalry scouts, signal intercepts, visual observation, and captured correspondence. what is the best summary of this paragraph? during the civil war, intelligence was gathered in the same ways it had been gathered in previous wars. photography and the telegraph were some of the technological advances that were used in civil war espionage. most espionage during the civil war was fieldwork that included observation, scouting, and interrogation of prisoners. enslaved persons that ran away, as well as prisoners from the union army, were good sources of information during the civil war.

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
