Directions: Read the following passage carefully and complete the following sentences.
The story of a poor family that acquired fame and fortune overnight, dramatically illustrates the power of the Press. The family lived in Aberdeen, a small town in South Dakota. As the parents had five children, life was a perpetual struggle against poverty. They were expecting their sixth child and were faced with even more pressing economic problems. If they had only one more child the fact would have passed unnoticed. They would have continued to struggle against economic odds and would have lived in obscurity.
But suddenly they became parents of quintuplets, four girls and a boy, an event which radically changed their lives. An aeroplane arrived in Aberdeen bringing sixty reporters and photographers. The news became a national sensation. Newspapers and magazines offered the family huge sums for exclusive rights to publish their photographs. The farmhouse they lived in was to be replaced by a new $100,000 home. The event brought serious changes to their lives and the town itself.
