1. How does insomnia affect intellectual abilities?

• A. Causes a deficit in memory, concentration, and attention.
• B. Improves mental alertness.
• C. Boosts concentration levels.
• D. Has no effect on intellectual abilities.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Insomnia affects intellectual abilities by causing a deficit in memory, concentration, and attention. The passage highlights that lack of sleep impacts memory, attention, and concentration, leading to feelings of irritation or depression. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the negative impact insomnia has on intellectual abilities as described in the passage.

2. What is the main idea of the passage about Sunny-Side Up?

• A. There are many positive effects of receiving direct exposure to sunlight.
• B. The negative impacts of sunlight should not be ignored.
• C. Vitamin D is integral for maintaining healthy bones and preventing diseases.
• D. Vitamin D is synthesized by our bodies in reaction to direct sunlight.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The passage primarily discusses the various positive effects of sunlight exposure, particularly highlighting the benefits of vitamin D for bone health and the regulation of circadian rhythms. While it acknowledges the negative impacts of excessive sun exposure, the emphasis is on the positive aspects, making A the main idea of the passage.

3. What is the passage primarily about?

• A. What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth
• B. A comparison of the Moon and Earth
• C. The Moon’s effect on Earth
• D. The origin of the Moon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth.' The passage discusses various aspects of the Moon, including its origin, gravitational influence on Earth, physical characteristics, lack of atmosphere, and surface features. It provides insights into what humans know about the Moon and highlights its differences from Earth. Choice B is incorrect because while the passage does compare certain aspects of the Moon and Earth, it primarily focuses on the Moon itself rather than a direct comparison. Choice C is incorrect as the passage briefly mentions the Moon's effect on Earth in relation to tides but does not primarily focus on this aspect. Choice D is incorrect as the origin of the Moon is mentioned in the passage, but it is not the primary focus of the text.

4. What is the major difference between matter at the nanoscale and matter at larger scales such as millimeters or inches?

• A. At the nanoscale, metals are rigid, and at larger scales, they are bendable.
• B. Matter has different and special characteristics at the nanoscale.
• C. At the nanoscale, matter has different properties than matter at the atomic level.
• D. There is no difference.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Matter at the nanoscale exhibits unique and special characteristics that distinguish it from matter at larger scales. This can include properties like increased surface area, different melting points, altered conductivity, and enhanced reactivity. Choice A is incorrect as metals at the nanoscale can be more rigid compared to their larger scale counterparts. Choice C is incorrect because matter at the nanoscale has properties that are distinct from both atomic and larger scales. Choice D is incorrect as there are significant differences in how matter behaves and interacts at the nanoscale compared to larger scales.

5. What is the meaning of the word tolerance as used in the last paragraph about Yoga?

• A. Open-mindedness.
