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.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage does not provide specific details about the divisions that currently make up the CDC. Instead, it focuses on the organization's historical context, original goals, and overall mission. Thus, D is correct as it identifies information not covered in the passage.

Rationale: In the context of sickle-cell anemia, diligent means painstaking, indicating the careful and thorough approach required to manage the disease. The passage highlights the challenges of managing the symptoms of sickle-cell anemia and the need for meticulous and conscientious care. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Dispersed' and 'Incensed' do not align with the meaning of diligent in this context. 'Demanding' does not capture the essence of the careful and thorough care needed to manage the disease.
