As an AI language model, I don't have the Test. However, I can provide information about the topics covered in Unit 7 Social Studies 7B.

Unit 7 Social Studies 7B covers the following topics:

1. Industrial Revolution: Explains the period when there was a shift from manual labor to machine-powered manufacturing, which sparked the rise of factories, large-scale production, and a new way of life for people in Western countries.

2. Immigration: Discusses the reasons why people left their home countries to seek a better life in America, and the impact this had on American society, economy, and culture.

3. Urbanization: Talks about how the growth of cities and the need for more workers in factories led to the rise of urban centers, and the resulting living conditions for the people living there.

4. Labor Unions: Delves into the reasons why workers formed unions to protect their rights, the efforts they made to improve working conditions, and the impact this had on society.

5. Political Reforms: Examines the efforts to make changes to the political system and the laws governing the country, including the Progressive Era, the Women's Suffrage Movement, and Civil Rights Movement.

6. Environmental Issues: Discusses the impact industrialization has had on the environment, the efforts made to address these issues, and the ongoing struggle to find a balance between economic growth and environmental protection.

Students will be quizzed on their knowledge of these topics, including key events, figures, and concepts that shaped American history. They will also have to demonstrate their ability to analyze primary and secondary sources, make connections between different events and trends, and develop their own interpretations of historical events.
