Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.

Humanitarian Dorothea Dix was born in Hampden, Maine, in 1802. At the age of 19, she established a

school for girls, the Dix Mansion School, in Boston, but had to close it in 1835 due to her poor health. She wrote

and published the first of many books for children in 1824. In 1841, Dix accepted an invitation to teach classes at

a prison in East Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was deeply disturbed by the sight of mentally-ill persons thrown

in the jail and treated like criminals. For the next eighteen months, she toured Massachusetts institutions where

other mental patients were confined and reported the shocking conditions she found to the state legislature. When

improvements followed in Massachusetts, she turned her attention to the neighbouring states and then to the West

and South. Dix's work was interrupted by the Civil War; she served as superintendent of women hospital nurses

for the federal government.
