1. 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.

2. The information presented in this article is?

• A. Against eating and drinking
• B. Against drinking alcohol
• C. Against eating rich foods
• D. Unbiased and informative.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The information presented in the article is unbiased in its approach. While the article highlights the potential issues related to overeating and alcohol abuse, it does not explicitly advocate against eating and drinking, drinking alcohol, or eating rich foods. The primary focus is on the negative consequences of overeating and alcohol abuse, making choice D, 'Unbiased and informative,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they are not supported by the content of the article; it merely discusses the risks associated with overeating and alcohol abuse without taking a stand against them.

3. What is the main idea of the passage about Aromatherapy—Fact or Fiction?

• A. Aromatherapy is not a legitimate therapy by anyone’s standards.
• B. Lemon and lavender are not healthy scents to inhale or use.
• C. More studies are needed to determine if aromatherapy is truly beneficial.
• D. Adding aromatherapy to regular treatment will help speed healing.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The main idea of the passage revolves around the skepticism regarding the efficacy of aromatherapy. The mention of needing more studies to determine its true benefits suggests that the current findings are inconclusive. This aligns with choice C, which reflects the need for further research to validate the claims associated with aromatherapy.

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 listed as a detail in the passage about Yoga?

• A. Improved circulation.
• B. Strengthening of core muscles.
• C. Stress reduction.
• D. Fortification of immune system.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage outlines several benefits of yoga, such as improved circulation, strengthened core muscles, and reduced stress. However, it does not mention the fortification of the immune system, which is not discussed in the context of the benefits of yoga. This makes D the correct answer, as it is the only option not supported by the passage.
