1. 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.

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

• A. Relief
• B. Treatment
• C. Guardian
• D. Specialist

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'respite' refers to relief, providing caregivers with temporary rest or a break from their caregiving duties. The word 'respite' is associated with giving caregivers a brief period of relief, not with treatment, guardianship, or specialization. The extract mentions 'respite services' along with caregiver services, indicating that respite is a form of support or relief for caregivers.

3. What can the reader conclude from this passage about ponds and lakes?

• A. They are examples of groundwater reservoirs.
• B. They are part of the evaporation process.
• C. They are formed by runoff.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'They are examples of groundwater reservoirs.' The passage mentions that runoff collects in groundwater reservoirs, among other places. Ponds and lakes are typically reservoirs of groundwater, as stated in the passage. Choice B is incorrect because ponds and lakes are not directly mentioned as part of the evaporation process. Choice C is incorrect as ponds and lakes are not stated to be formed by runoff. Choice D is incorrect as ponds and lakes are not formed by condensation.

4. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage about Yoga?

• A. Improved circulation.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage outlines several benefits of yoga, such as improved circulation, strengthened core muscles, and reduced stress.

This makes D the correct answer, as it is the only option not supported by the passage.

Rationale: The passage lists important nutrients for seniors, including fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and B12, while exercise is also discussed as crucial for health. However, nitrates are not mentioned at all, making option C correct since it stands out as the only nutrient not discussed in the context of seniors’ health
