1. Identify the overall tone of the essay about Aromatherapy.

• A. Congratulatory.
• B. Uncertain.
• C. Annoyed.
• D. Distressed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The tone of the essay is uncertain, as the author questions the validity of aromatherapy based on the study's results. The phrasing "does not necessarily prove that aromatherapy is worthless" indicates a hesitance to fully endorse or dismiss its value. This ambiguity throughout the passage reinforces the uncertain tone, aligning it with choice B.

2. The author of the passage would probably agree with which of the following statements relating corrective lenses and aging eyes?

• A. A carpenter uses wood glue to fix a broken cabinet.
• B. A student buys a new notebook for upcoming classes.
• C. A chef sharpens knives before starting to cook.
• D. An athlete stretches before a game to avoid a potential injury.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct analogy for the role of corrective lenses in helping aging eyes can be compared to an athlete stretching before a game. Just as stretching prepares an athlete's body to perform optimally and avoid injury during a game, corrective lenses help aging eyes adjust and focus properly due to the hardening and loss of elasticity in the eye lens. Choices A, B, and C do not align with the concept of preparing or adjusting to address a specific issue, unlike the use of corrective lenses for aging eyes.

3. What statement from the article is correct?

• A. Chopsticks were developed in Europe.
• B. China developed chopsticks for eating utensils.
• C. Eating with forks is difficult.
• D. Space travel eliminated the need for utensils.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage clearly states that China developed chopsticks as an efficient tool for eating, making choice B the correct statement. Choice A is incorrect as chopsticks were not developed in Europe but in China. Choice C is not supported by the passage as it does not discuss the difficulty of eating with forks. Choice D is also incorrect as space travel introduced new challenges but did not eliminate the need for utensils.

4. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage about A Short History of the CDC?

• A. Where the organization began.
• B. Who first ran the organization.
• C. When the organization changed its name.
• D. What divisions make up the current CDC.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage does not provide specific details about the divisions that currently make up the CDC. Instead, it focuses on the organization's historical context, original goals, and overall mission. Thus, D is correct as it identifies information not covered in the passage.

5. What statement can be implied from the content of the article?

• A. Diversity is interesting to learn about.
• B. Everyone should learn to use chopsticks.
• C. European methods of eating are the best.
• D. Space travel has made eating easier.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct statement that can be implied from the content of the article is that diversity is interesting to learn about. The passage discusses different cultural methods of eating, highlighting the value of discovering these differences and learning new ways to do things. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on a specific eating tool without capturing the broader message of cultural diversity. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a superiority of European methods without considering the value of diversity. Choice D is incorrect as the passage mentions that space travel has created new challenges for consuming food, not necessarily making eating easier.
