Questions 7-8 are based on the following passage.

The fact that we were all as safe as kittens under a cook-stove did not, however, assuage in the least the fine despair and the grotesque desperation which seized upon the residents of the East Side when the cry spread like a grass fire that the dam had given way. Some of the most dignified, staid, cynical, and clear-thinking men in town abandoned their wives, stenographers, homes, and offices and ran east. There are few alarms in the world more terrifying than The dam has broken! There are few persons capable of stopping to reason when that clarion cry strikes upon their ears, even persons who live in towns no nearer than five hundred miles to a dam.
Identify the phrase in which the people of the East Side experienced one of the deadliest fears of their lives:

Read the passage to answer question 8:

It is of course a little absurd to speak of Asia as a unity, and only opposition to Western Imperialism has caused people to think in these terms. Asia contains half the population of the world and at least three very distinct civilizations: that of Islam, that of India, and that of China. These differ from each other just as much as they differ from the civilization of Christened, there is not the faintest reason to expect them all to act in unison. What is to be hoped is, an endeavor after cultural or political unity, but a determination to uphold independence at home and to respect it elsewhere- and when | speak of independence, I am not only thinking of politics but also of culture. There is a great danger of too much cultural uniformity. No great civilization has ever been cosmopolitan.
