1. Identify the overall tone of the essay about Sunny-Side Up.

• A. Confused.
• B. Confident.
• C. Disheartened.
• D. Disapproving.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The overall tone of the essay is confident, as the author articulates the positive effects of sunlight and presents a well-supported argument. The assertive language used throughout reflects a strong belief in the benefits of sunlight, making B the correct answer.

2. What is the meaning of the word satiety as used in the last paragraph about The Sleep Workout?

• A. A state of tiredness.
• B. A state of being satisfied.
• C. A state of being overloaded.
• D. A state of confusion.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Satiety refers to a state of being satisfied, particularly in terms of appetite. In the context of the excerpt provided, it explains that individuals who lack adequate sleep may experience lowered levels of leptin, a hormone that controls appetite. As a result, even after meeting their caloric needs, they may still crave carbohydrates, indicating a lack of satisfaction or satiety. This can lead to obesity and disrupt healthy eating habits. Therefore, choice B, 'A state of being satisfied,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of satiety in the context of appetite regulation and sleep's impact on food cravings.

3. What is implied by the author's mention of the Kayapo people in the passage on the Amazon Rainforest?

• A. The Kayapo people destroy the environment for farming.
• B. The Kayapo people farm in an environmentally friendly way.
• C. The Kayapo people contribute to deforestation.
• D. The Kayapo people hunt animals for survival.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The mention of the Kayapo people in the passage highlights how they farm in an environmentally friendly manner. Instead of using chemicals, they enrich the soil by burning wood and plant banana trees, attracting wasps that feed on harmful insects. This sustainable farming practice showcases their efforts to coexist with the rainforest ecosystem without causing harm. The other choices are incorrect: A is refuted by the passage as the Kayapo people are described as farming in an environmentally friendly way, C is incorrect as the passage does not mention the Kayapo people contributing to deforestation, and D is not supported by the text as there is no mention of the Kayapo people hunting animals for survival.

4. Throughout this passage the word suit means?

• A. A set of clothing to be worn together
• B. To be convenient or right for
• C. To request or appeal persistently
• D. One of the four categories in a deck of cards.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the passage, the word 'suit' is used in the context of card games, specifically in relation to playing cards of the same category. It refers to being convenient or right for a particular purpose in the game of Bridge. The other choices are incorrect because 'suit' in this passage does not refer to a set of clothing (option A), persistent requesting (option C), or one of the four categories in a deck of cards (option D). The passage clearly explains how the term 'suit' is used in the context of playing cards in the game of Bridge.

5. Which of the following is not mentioned as a detail in the passage about High Fructose Corn Syrup?

• A. HFCS and sugar share a biological structure.
• B. HFCS is cheaper to use than sugar.
• C. HFCS is now used to sweeten a variety of products.
• D. HFCS contains more calories than aspartame.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage does not mention that HFCS contains more calories than aspartame. While the passage discusses the concerns and implications of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), it does not compare its caloric content to aspartame. Detail A is supported by the passage as both HFCS and sugar share a biological structure. Detail B is also mentioned in the passage, stating that HFCS is cheaper to use than sugar. Detail C is supported by the text, which mentions that HFCS is now used to sweeten a variety of products. However, detail D is never discussed in the passage, making it the correct answer.
