The following resources  may be helpful in preparing for those type of questions:  I would suggest that you do the Reading first, then attempt to answer the Questions.  You might choose to use the reading to help you answer the questions.  Remember we are trying to build knowledge, not take a test to see what we already know.  Don’t worry if you don’t know all of these laws, but continue to carefully study ALL of the Answers for each question.
