In 1849, she escaped slavery and reached\n        Philadelphia. However, her journey toward freedom did not end with\n        her own escape.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Between 1850 and 1860, Tubman returned to Maryland approximately\n        thirteen times to help family members and friends escape slavery.\n        She used careful planning, knowledge of the landscape, trusted\n        relationships, and courage to help people reach freedom.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        During the Civil War, Tubman continued serving others. She worked\n        as a nurse, scout, and spy for the Union. Her knowledge of the\n        waterways and marshlands of South Carolina later contributed to\n        the planning of the Combahee River Raid in June 1863.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        During the raid, Tubman and Union forces traveled up the Combahee\n        River. More than 700 enslaved people were liberated. Tubman&#8217;s\n        experience, preparation, intelligence network, and perseverance\n        helped make the operation possible.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Tubman&#8217;s life demonstrates that doing what is right requires more\n        than good intentions. It may require preparation, courageous\n        action, continued effort, and a willingness to help others.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;\">\n        Historical information adapted from the U.S. National Park Service.\n      <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <!-- QUESTION 1 -->\n\n    <div class=\"tsp-question\">\n\n      <h3>Question 1 \u2014 Main Idea<\/h3>\n\n      <p>\n        Which choice best states the main idea of the passage?\n      <\/p>\n\n      <label class=\"tsp-option\">\n        <input type=\"radio\" name=\"q1\" value=\"A\">\n        A.
