Dietary Clues Gléaned from Tuber Traditions," an article by Ron Cowen that appeared in ScienGe News (@1991 by Science Services. Inc.). The Blackfoot, or Sihasapa, are one of the seven groups making up the Lakota Indian tribe of th8 northern Great Plains. Historians say the week-long sun dance adopted by the Blackfoot confederacy of Montana and Alberta, Canada, appears unique in that it gives special recog- nition to a stringy, bulbous tuber called the prairie 5 turnip. The vegetable. s prevalence in tribal customs could 50 also signify that it held special status in the Blackfoot diet, Peacock suggests. In an attempt to determine the prairie turnip's dietary significance foT the northern tribes, [researchers] analyzed the tuber, s nutritional content. 55 Their study found that the legurriino.us tubers contain about 7 percent protein-much more than potatoes (2 percent) and nearly as much as maize (9 percent). The plant also contains a significant amount of vitamin C-17.1 milligrams per 100 grams of weight. This 60 approaches the vitamin C concentrations in fresh citrus fruits (25 to 30 mg per 100 g). Moreover, they said, flour made by pounding dried prairie turnips (a common tribal practice) would lose 'little of its vitamin C during storage unless subjected to moisture. The analysis suggested that P. esculenta "was widely and regularly usetl [among tribes of the northern plains] and formed a, valuable food resource of high nutritional quality., A Canadian ethnobotanist is now scrutinizing the sun dance ceremony and other Blackfoot traditions in search of clues to the Prairie turnip's role in daily tribal life. So far, she says, the findings suggest that this 10 lowly legume earned its sacred status by serving as a nutritional staple. 65 A key part of the Blackfoot sun dance began with the transfer of a sacred.bundle to a holy woman who had pledged allegiance to the sun, says Sandra Peacock 15 of the Fort Calgary (Alberta) Historic Park. The bundle held special garments and accessories, including a wooden stick and a headdress of buffalo hide adorned with feathers and pendants of weasel skins. According to tribespeople interviewed by Peacock, the stick 20 symbolized the tooI used to Ullearth the prairie turnip, while the feathers represented turnip leaves. A 1957 photograph of a Blackfoot holy woman depicts an additional adorntnent: a bunch of dried, twisted roots tied to the headdress. That photo, Peacock 25 says, sparked her fascination with the prairie turnip. Despite its name, the prairie turnip (Psoralea esculenta) bears little resemblance to the more familiar root vegetable known as the turnip (Brassica rapa). The latter is not a legume and has a more rounded, . 30 smooth appearance than the elongated, scraggly prairie turnip, which resembles a skinny potato. Historical reports from the 16OOs and ear.ly 1900s indicate that Plains Indians, especially those living in the more prairie-like regions south of Montana. once 35 cultivated P. esculenla widely. The three tribes of the Blackfoot confederacy-the Piegan, the Blood and the Blackfoot-do not eat the prairie turnip today, but Peacock says the pIant's extensive roots in Blackfoot legend and language .strongly suggest that It once 40 ranked along with buffalo meat as a vital element in their diet. Historical accounts from Canadian expeditions in 70 1857 and 1859 describe women and children harvèsting prairie turnips with fire-hardened, slightly curved digging sticks. The tuber's hard, dark skill was easily , removed, exposing a white, fleshy interior. Some ate the tuber raw; others boiled it, roasted it, or dried it and 75 then crushed it to a powder. But scientists still lack definitive evidence of the prairie turnip, s place in. the prehistoric Blackfoot diet, says Peacock, who maintains that most studies of tribal lifestyles have instead focused on buffalo bones, and 80 occasionally the remains of medicinal plants. To clinch the issue. she Proposes that archaeologists undertake an extensive search for the burnt remains of .P. esculenta and other pit-roasted plants, since charring would have pIotected them from chemical or bacterial degradation. In the rneantirrie, Peacock continues to Cotnpile ethnographic data on the praiTie turnip. This summer, she hopes to witness her first sun dance and view the full costume worn by the holy woman, replete with headdress and digging stick. 85

Most metazoans are bilaterally symmetrical (they have right and left halves that are nearly identical). Biologists agree that metazoans evolved from protozoans (single-celled organisms) over 600 million years ago, but they do not agree on how this occurred. Three theories are presented. 4- flagella hollow Cellularization Theory Some biologists b'elieve that metazoans evolved from multinucleated protozoans (protozoans with many nuclei). Separate cells formed when membranes developed between adjacent nuclei. Later, cilia {hairlik¢ strnctures), used for movement, grew from each. c¢ll. These ciliated protozoan ancestors then evolved into aquatic, bilaterally symmetrical metazoans similar to modern flatworms. Later, other metazoans evolved from ,these flatworn]-like creatures (see Figure .1). specia]ized reproductive cells ancestral piotozoan colony (cross section through spherical colony) nuclei developing membranes <//a? ancestral multinucleated protozoan cilia first jellyfish-like metazoan Figure 2 first flatwonn-type metazoan Figure I Colonial Theory Other biologists suggest that many protozoans grouped together into a hollow ball, or colony. This colony evolved into the first metazoan. Each cell in the colony had aflagellum (movable tail) for movement. Initially, some of these cells were better suited for reproduction, and- these became the reproductive cells of the metazoan, The first metazoans were aquatic, flagellated, radially sypnmetrical organisms (body parts arranged symmetrically around a central point, as in modern jellyfish). All later metazoans evolved from these jellyfish-like organisms (see Figure 2}. Separate Line Theory Proponents of this theory argue that 2 separate protozoan lines led to metazoans. Radially syinmetrical metazoans evolved from flagellated, colonial PTOtozoans. Bilaterally syrnmetrical metazoans evolved from ciliated, multinucleated protozoans. The fiist metazoans of each group were jellyfish-like creatures and flatworm-like creatures, respectively. The 2 protozoan groups were only distantly related to each other, and the evolution of aquatic metazoans from the 2 protozoan groups OCCUTTed independently and at different times. 40000000004

Passage 111 HUMANITIES: This passage is adapted from Alic8 Walker's autobiographical essay 'ln S8ar¢h of Our Mothers, Gardens" {@1974 by Alice Walker). How ilias the creativity of the Black woman kept alive, year after year and century after century, when for most of the years Black people have been in Ameiica, it was a punishable crime for a Black person 5 to read or write? And the freedom to paint. to sculpt, to expand the mind with action, did not exist. Consider, rf you can bear to imagine it, what might have been the result if singing, too, had been forbidden by law. Listen to the voices of Bessie Smith: Billie Holiday, Nina 10 Simone, Roberta Flack, and Aretha Franklin, among others, and imagine those voices muzzled for life. . In the late 1920's my mother ran away from home to marry my father. By the time she was twenty, she had two chil(Iren and was pregnant with a third. Five 15 children later, I was born. And this is how I came to know my mother.. she seemed a large, soft, lovkng-eyed woman who was rarely impatient in our home. Her quick, violent temper was on view only a few times a year, when she battled with the white landlord who had 20 the misfortune to suggest to her that her children did not need to go to school. and deep spiritual feeling. Below this quilt I saw a note that says It was made by "an anonymous Black woman 55 in Alabama a hundred years ago." If we could locate this "anonymous". Black woman from Alabama, she would turn out to be one of our grandmothers-an artist who left her mark in the only edium her position in society allowed her to use. And so it is, certainly, with my own mother. Unlike Ma Rainey's songs, which retained their cre- ator's name even while blastillg forth from Bessie Smith, s mouth, no song or poem will bear my mother's name...Yet so thany of the stOTies that I write, that we 65 all write, are my mother's stories. Qnly recently did I fully realize this." that, through years of listelling to my mother's stories of her life, I have absorbed not only the stories themselves, but something of the manner in which she spoke, something of the urgency that 70 involved the knowledge that her stori¢s-like her life- must be recorded. But the telling of these stories. which caine from tny mother's lips as naturally as breathing, was not the only way my mothet showed herself as'an artist. For 75 stOTies, too, were subject to being distracted, to dying without conclusion. Dinners must be started, and cotton ust be gathered before the big rains. The artist that was and is my mother showed itself to me only after many years. This is what I finally noticed. She planted ambitious gardens-and still does- with over fifty differFnt varieties of plants that bloom profusely from early March until late November. Before she left home for the fields, she watered her flowers, chopped up the grass, and laid out new beds. Whatever she planted grew as if by magic, and her fame as a grower of tlowers spread over three counties. Because of her creativity with her flowers, even my memories of poverty are seen through a screen of blooms. She made all the clothes we wore, even my brothers, overalls. She made all the towels and sheets we used. She spent the summers canning vegetables 25 and frnits. She spent the winter evenings making quilts enough to cover all our beds. 80 During the "working" day, she labored beside- not behind-my father in the fields. Her day began before sunup, and did not end until late at night. There 30 was never a moment for her to sit down, undisturbed, to unravel her own private thoughts. never a time free from interruption-by work or the noisy inquiries of her many children. And yet, it is to my Tnother-and all our mothers who were not farnous-that I went in 35 search of the secret of what has fed that mu7.zled and often mutilated. but vibrant, creative spirit that the Black woman has inherited, and that pops out in wild and unlikely places to this day. But when, you will ask, did my overworked 40 mother have time to know or care about feeding the creative spirit? 85

The lowest possible scale score for any test on which you marked any responses is 1 . Next, compute the Composite score by averaging the four scale scores. To do this, add your four scale scores and divide the sum by 4. If the resulting num- ber ends in a fraction, round it.off to the nearest whole number. (Round down any fraction less than one-half. . round up any fraction that is one-half or more.) Enter , this number in the. blank. This is .your Composite score. The highest .possible Composite score 'is 36. The lowest possiblè Composite score is 1.
