1. In the context of the passage, 'accommodate' means to

• A. Arrange lodging for
• B. Contain
• C. Make allowances for
• D. Excuse

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'accommodate' means to make allowances for different focal points of vision. The passage explains that the function of the lens is to adjust for different focal points so that sensory data can be correctly directed to the retina for interpretation into images by the brain. This aligns with the meaning of 'make allowances for' as it indicates adapting to or accommodating different needs or requirements. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because in the context of the passage, 'accommodate' specifically refers to adjusting for different focal points of vision rather than arranging lodging, containing, or excusing.

2. 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.

3. What is the meaning of the word moderate as used in the last paragraph?

• A. Diminish
• B. Facilitate
• C. Enhance
• D. Conclude

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, "moderate" means to diminish or reduce the severity of symptoms, such as those of attention deficit hyperactive disorder.

4. What is the meaning of the word moderation as used in the second paragraph?

• A. Adequate amounts
• B. Intervals of time
• C. Excess
• D. Variation

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, moderation means consuming adequate amounts of unsaturated fats. The passage highlights that unsaturated fats like olive oil and omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial when consumed in appropriate quantities. Choice B, intervals of time, is incorrect as it does not relate to the consumption of fats. Choice C, excess, is incorrect because moderation implies avoiding excess consumption. Choice D, variation, is unrelated to the context of consuming fats in appropriate amounts.

5. 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.
