In november of 1948 chambers faced a slander suit

In November of 1948, Chambers faced a slander suit
from Alger Hiss, one of his former compatriots whom
he had reluctantly identified as a communist in a public
interview. This comment opened the door for Hiss to make
an aggressive legal attack during a period when both men
were already embroiled in an investigation by the House
Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC). Although
Chambers had deliberately chosen not to reveal the
microfilm, this legal attack convinced him to tacitly admit
its existence to Robert Stripling, the chief investigator of
HUAC. When two investigators traveled to 8 Chambers’s
farmhouse the following evening, he led them to the
backyard and revealed the evidence hidden inside the
hollow pumpkin.

9 Many people still believed that Alger Hiss was
innocent: while some sources argue that the actual content
of the microfilm had little relevance to the case, others
suggest that the 10 sequential public interest created
pressure for a careful verdict. However, there is no
question that the indictment of Alger Hiss on December
15 represented both a triumph and a tragedy. The conflict
between these two men was only a microcosm of the
massive, destructive struggle between two incompatible
philosophies; perhaps it is best summarized by
11 Richard Nixon as a struggle “dependent upon the
question of identity.”

1 Questions 1-11 are based on the following passage.
Mary Walker: A Century Ahead of Her Time
Dr. M. Edwards Walker was one of the bravest army
surgeons during the American Civil War. In addition to
working on the frontlines of the Union Army from 1863
to 1865, Walker was also a Union 1 spy. Who relayed
Confederate secrets across enemy lines while treating
civilians in the South. Walker was even captured by
Confederate troops and held as a prisoner of war for four
months, until eventually being released—along with two
dozen other Union doctors—in exchange for seventeen
Confederate surgeons. But what makes Dr. Walker’s story
perhaps even more remarkable is that, unlike the other
Army surgeons during the Civil War, Dr. Walker was a
woman.
