Entry Test 9
What’s in a name
(Bring, art, theme, enforce, progress, awake, rebel, religion, translate, literature)
Despite her strict, very orthodox 16.Brought Eliot matured into a writer who proved herself to be far ahead of her times, both 17.Artfully and in her personal life. The ideas reflected 18.By theme in her novels pertaining to the role of women in society shocked many, even those who were seen as enlightened. Growing up, Eliot lived a culturally starved existence. At an early age she fell under the dubious tutelage of the very pious Rev John Jones, who 19.Enforced the staunch beliefs that had been instilled in her from birth. Eliot’s relationship with the 20.Progressing intellectuals, Charles and Caroline Bray, resulted in her 21.Awaken and caused her to distance herself from the narrow ideas which she had held up to that point. This intellectual 22.Rebel is opened a wide rift between herself and her 23.Religious devout father. Under the patronage of the Bray couple, Eliot had the opportunity to compile a 24.Translated ‘of life of Jesus’ by Strauss. This commissioned work was to be the only 25.literatural piece that would ever appear bearing Eliot’s real name.

38-E, 39-A, 40-C, 41-D, 42-B, 43-G, 44-H
38. One is standing in a manmade reminder of what hate, panic and doomsayers premonitions can persuade a people to do.
E. One would be hard pressed to work up any enthusiasm to visit what would appear to be just another museum. They would be surprised at what was secreted away behind, and hinted at, by the aforementioned self-effacing plaque
39. What is less well documented is that Canadians, too, were infected with this contagious, all-enveloping panic induced by the Great Red bear and its supposed arsenal of weapons of annihilation.
A. The late President Kennedy’s address to the American people was broadcast live into almost every living room in the US.
40. Two of the best engineers Canada had ever produced had been put under contract in case of emergency. From this highly advanced studio, messages would de sent out to the besieged Canadian public in the aftermath of a nuclear attack
D. The bunkers namesake John Diefenbaker, who was then acting Prime Minister, ordered the construction begun in 1959.Two years later.
41. Canadian system from their safe haven, the prime minister and other government dignitaries could advice Canadian survivors, on the means for gathering their scattered wits about them, getting back on their feed and beginning the necessary task of reconstructing the country
G. Soviet bombs began to fall. This reputedly invincible ‘hole in the ground’ was built to shelter government and military higher-ups. Throughout the inevitable Soviet barrage these privileged VIPs would be saved from the missiles themselves, while afterwards.

B. Toronto is Canada’s capital, the honour actually belongs to Ottawa. This northern city has a population of approximately one million people.

The sky is falling mentality of both the American and Canadian governments changed dramatically with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in1989.
F. The collective voice on the street shouted: why had they as a people. Not been warned of the great threat posed by the Soviets? Why had safeguards not been put in place to ensure the safety of the average Canadian?
44. The Diefenbunker, which was once regarded as an asylum by the chosen few and an act of government betrayal by the multitudes, is now only a historical landmark visited by history buffs and off-the-beaten-track tourists. Physically, this concrete monstrosity serves as both museum and display case for war memorabilia.
H. As the result of the end of the Cold War, the accompanying fear and panic it had conjured up in Canada gradually dissipated. Over the next few decades though relations between the US and Cuba remained strained. Canada began trading with his communist country.
