Answer to Question 1

B
About a quarter of the adult population in the United States is functionally illiterate, and nearly half
have limited literacy skills.

Answer to Question 2

A
While there are unions for many nurses, the statement that all nurses are now able to unionize is
incorrect. For example, managers and supervisors employed in hospitals are not in unions. Other
groups able to join unions include medical practitioners (the Service Employees International Union is
the largest collective bargaining agent for this group), employees of nonprofit organizations (the 1974
Taft-Hartley Amendments to the Wagner Act allowed this), and university professors. However, many
chairpersons and deans of nursing programs cannot join unions because they are considered to be part
of the administration.
