1. What body of water does The Golden Gate Bridge cross?

• A. San Francisco Bay
• B. Pacific Ocean
• C. Marin Strait
• D. Indian Ocean

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The Golden Gate Bridge crosses the entrance to San Francisco Bay, spanning the Golden Gate Strait. It does not cross the Pacific Ocean, Marin Strait, or Indian Ocean directly. The iconic bridge connects the city of San Francisco to Marin County in California. The Pacific Ocean is a vast body of water beyond the Golden Gate entrance, and Marin Strait is not a recognized geographical location. The Indian Ocean is located on a different continent and is not related to the Golden Gate Bridge's location.

2. What can be inferred about the author's reaction to different voices?

• A. Be an experienced public speaker
• B. Prefer shrill, grating, and brassy voice
• C. Have no particular reactions to different voices
• D. nan

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the extract provided, the author discusses the effects of different voice qualities on others but does not express any preference or reaction towards specific voices. The author emphasizes the negative impact of harsh tones and provides insights into how voice qualities can influence perceptions. As a result, it can be inferred that the author has no particular reactions to different voices. Choices A and B are incorrect as there is no mention of the author's public speaking experience or preference for specific voice qualities in the passage.

3. What is the meaning of the word composed in the first paragraph?

• A. To consist of
• B. To break apart
• C. To mix with other elements
• D. To heat up

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'composed' means to be made up of or to consist of something. In the provided extract, it describes how a single drop of water is composed of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the correct answer is 'To consist of.' Choice B, 'To break apart,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of 'composed.' Choice C, 'To mix with other elements,' is incorrect as 'composed' refers to being made up of specific components, not mixed with others. Choice D, 'To heat up,' is unrelated to the meaning of 'composed' in this context.

4. What is the meaning of the word serendipity as it is used in the first paragraph?

• A. Chance
• B. Persistence
• C. Foreboding

5. Which statement is not listed as a detail within the passage?

• A. Changes in the ECG are typically used for the diagnosis of abnormal cardiac rhythm.
• B. The signal has a characteristic record called the electrocardiogram.
• C. The 'wave of excitation' starts at the SA node.
• D. The 'wave of excitation' spreads through the heart wall and is accompanied by electric changes.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The corrected statement should be: Changes in the ECG are not typically used for the diagnosis of abnormal cardiac rhythm. The passage mentions that the heart sends out electric currents in waves, and the 'wave of excitation' spreads through the heart wall accompanied by electric changes. It details the process of how the heart's electric impulses are recorded and how abnormalities can be detected. However, it does not state that ECG changes are specifically used for diagnosing abnormal cardiac rhythms. Choice A is the correct answer because it misrepresents the information provided in the passage. Choices B, C, and D are all supported by the passage and align with the details mentioned regarding the electrocardiogram and the wave of excitation in the heart.
