1. 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.

2. What is the meaning of the word 'booking' as used in the first paragraph?

• A. Scheduling
• B. Contracting
• C. Traveling
• D. Charging

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'booking' refers to scheduling appointments for bone density tests. The correct choice is 'A: Scheduling' because in the given text, women are booking bone density tests to ensure their bone health. 'Contracting' (Choice B) is incorrect as it does not fit the context of making appointments. 'Traveling' (Choice C) and 'Charging' (Choice D) are also irrelevant to the context of scheduling appointments for medical tests.

3. What is the main idea of the passage about Sickle-Cell Anemia?

• A. Bone pain is a symptom of sickle-cell anemia.
• B. Sickle-cell anemia affects oxygen transport in the body.
• C. Sickle-cell anemia is a genetically inherited disease.
• D. Sickle-cell anemia is a painful, inherited disease.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The passage focuses on describing sickle-cell anemia as a painful and inherited disease. It details how the abnormal sickle-shaped cells cause symptoms like bone pain, fever, and fatigue. While bone pain is mentioned as a symptom, it is not the main idea of the passage. Choice A is incorrect. Choice B, which mentions oxygen transport, is not the main idea but a general concept. Choice C, stating genetically inherited diseases affect thousands, is too broad and does not focus on the specifics of sickle-cell anemia. Therefore, D is the most precise choice.

4. Which is the best title for this passage?

• A. “Medical Treatment for Gout”
• B. “Uric Acid Affects the Joints”
• C. “Risk Factors for One Type of Arthritis”
• D. “Nurse-Led Care Aids Gout Patients”

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage focuses on how nurse-led care, including holistic education and lifestyle advice, can aid patients with gout.

5. The word 'track' as used in the last paragraph of the passage can best be defined as ___________.

• A. Keep a record of
• B. A new attitude
• C. Follow carefully
• D. A paved, circular path

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In the context of the passage, 'track' refers to a 'paved, circular path' for running or walking. The last sentence of the passage encourages people to get off the couch and onto the track, indicating a physical path for exercise. Choice A, 'Keep a record of,' is incorrect as the context does not suggest any relation to recording information. Choice B, 'A new attitude,' is unrelated to the context of exercise and fatigue reduction. Choice C, 'Follow carefully,' does not fit the context of physical activity and energy levels discussed in the passage.
