Passage
The first murder ever committed in the United States occurred in September 1630, shortly after the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts. John Billington was the father of two sons, one of the first to settle in the new Plymouth Colony near what is today Boston, and one of the people who signed the Mayflower Compact. He was also the colony’s first murderer. Billington was the first person to commit any crime in the colony, as far as we know today, and the first to be executed by the state in the New World. Billington’s crime was to shoot a man named John Newcomen, for reasons which are lost to history. But Billington’s problems had not begun on the soil of North America. He and his sons had nearly caused a mutiny aboard the Mayflower during the arduous trip across the ocean. One of his sons fired his gun aboard the Mayflower near an open keg of gunpowder. The flash from the gun could easily have ignited the powder and sunk the ship. In Plymouth Colony, Billington’s behavior did not improve. He refused to serve any form of military duty under Miles Standish and was later implicated in a plot to overthrow the colony’s leadership, but a lack of evidence prompted the leaders to let him go free. In the end, Billington’s rebellious and angry nature caught up with him. He was found guilty of the murder of John Newcomen and died in disgrace on the gallows.
Based on the information in the passage, which of the following best describes John Billington?
Answer: B - A man who was a murderer
The passage states that John Billington was executed for the first murder ever committed in the United States.

Rami was born two years after his parents' marriage. His mother is five years younger than his father, but twenty years older than Sami who is ten years old now. At what age did his father get married?
Answer: A - 23 years
Sami is 10. His mother is 10+20 = 30. His father is 30+5 = 35. The father was 35 at Sami's birth. Since Rami was born 2 years after his parents' marriage, and the question is likely referring to Sami's father's marriage, the age is 35-10-2=23. Let's re-examine. Sami is 10. His mother is 30. His father is 35. Rami was born two years after the marriage. The question is about Rami's father. The age difference is 2. The father's age is 35. Rami's age is 10. The father was 35-10=25 at Rami's birth. So he was married at 25-2=23.
