According to the passage, what does the Montevideo Convention require for an entity to be considered a state?

2. The water pooled at the low end of the floor, and Celia watched as it dripped from the ceiling. She jumped at a sudden crack of thunder, and as the lights flickered, she wondered whether the roof would hold up much longer. She pulled her cloak tighter and withdrew to the corner, where she fervently hoped she’d make it through the night so she could continue her journey in the morning.
According to the passage, Celia is

3. The dry-goods stores were not down among the counting-houses, banks, and wholesale warerooms, where gentlemen most do congregate, but Jo found herself in that part of the city before she did a single errand, loitering along as if waiting for someone, examining engineering instruments in one window and samples of wool in another, with most unfeminine interest, tumbling over barrels, being half-smothered by descending bales, and hustled unceremoniously by busy men who looked as if they wondered ‘how the deuce she got there’.

4. Margaret found a place as nursery governess and felt rich with her small salary. As she said, she was ‘fond of luxury’, and her chief trouble was poverty. She found it harder to bear than the others because she could remember a time when home was beautiful, life full of ease and pleasure, and want of any kind unknown. She tried not to be envious or discontented, but it was very natural that the young girl should long for pretty things, gay friends, accomplishments, and a happy life.
According to the passage, Margaret struggles with

5. The most powerful statement came toward the end of Davis’s acidic opinion. If the president of the United States or a military officer under his command deprived a citizen of the United States of their fundamental rights, “republican government is a failure, and there is an end of liberty regulated by law.” Civil liberty and martial law “cannot endure together; the antagonism is irreconcilable; and, in the conflict, one or the other must perish.”
According to the passage, what would happen if a government attempted to deprive an American citizen of fundamental rights?

6. This organization is called the nervous system. The nervous system is the body’s communication network. Its function is often compared to the country’s telephone system or the Internet.

8. Humanity is susceptible to many diseases. Some are endemic (always present in a population), and some sweep rapidly through widespread populations as epidemics. Only in the last century or so — when diseases were well-enough understood by science — have large-scale disease-eradication programs been implemented.
According to the passage, endemic diseases are

9. All forms of leadership make use of power. The term comes (indirectly) from the Latin adjective potis (“powerful, capable”) and verb posse (“to be able to”). Power is about control. To have power is to possess the capacity to control change or to direct it. Power need not be coercive, dictatorial, or punitive. It can be used in a non-coercive manner, for instance to orchestrate, mobilize, direct, and guide members of an institution or organization in the pursuit of a goal or series of objectives. The central issue of power in leadership is not “Will it be used?” but rather “Will it be used wisely and well?”
What would be a good title for this passage?"

14. Nothing could be more simple. Indeed, it was all so simple that Fix and Passepartout felt their hearts beating as if they would crack. They were listening for the whistle agreed upon, when suddenly savage cries resounded in the air, accompanied by reports which certainly did not issue from the car where the duellists were. The reports continued in front and the whole length of the train. Cries of terror proceeded from the interior of the cars. In this passage, the word reports means
