John Haskett came up with a great one on one kick save to preserve the shutout. The coaching staff would like to say how proud they are of the boys continued improvement throughout the season.

SAT QUESTION 

 

Andrew Jackson’s ideal vision of an American nation composed of farmers and artisans had become increasingly ------- by the 1860s, when the new ------- economy was turning craftspersons and planters into factory laborers.A. antiquated . . agriculturalB. feasible . . industrialC. elusive . . artisticD. fanciful . . manufacturingE. progressive . . urban

SAT ANSWER    Choice (D) is correct. If Jackson’s vision were of a nation peopled by farmers and artisans, it makes sense to say that that vision had become more “fanciful,” or imaginative, than practical at a time when manufacturing was drawing people to factory jobs.
