The passage discusses the challenges of treating individuals with both eating disorders and substance abuse issues. It mentions that while treatment for addiction involves abstinence, it is not possible to completely abstain from food. This highlights the meaning of 'abstain' as 'go without' in this context. The other choices are incorrect: 'Dishonor' does not relate to abstain, 'Connect to' is not synonymous with abstain, and 'Liberate' does not align with the context of the passage.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Benjamin Franklin is credited with proposing the idea of Daylight Savings Time, as stated in the extract. However, it was not implemented during his lifetime.

4. What is the meaning of the word 'emitting' as it is used in the second paragraph?

• A. Repelling
• B. Releasing
• C. Closing

This process is about the release of electric impulses, making 'releasing' the correct interpretation. Choice A, 'Repelling,' implies pushing away, which is not the intended meaning in this context. Choice C, 'Closing,' and Choice D, 'Charging,' do not align with the context of electric currents being emitted.
