1. What is the meaning of the word 'deceptive' as it is used in the fifth paragraph?

• A. misleading
• B. malicious
• C. illegal
• D. irritating

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context provided, 'deceptive' means misleading. The passage discusses how the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates product advertising to ensure that all information is truthful and not misleading. Therefore, the correct answer is 'A: misleading.' Choice B, 'malicious,' is incorrect as it implies harmful intent, which is not necessarily conveyed by the term 'deceptive' in this context. Choice C, 'illegal,' is incorrect because 'deceptive' does not solely refer to something being against the law, but rather to misleading information. Choice D, 'irritating,' is also incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'deceptive' as used in the passage.

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

• A. To consist of
• B. To be uniquely discovered
• C. To be set apart
• D. To be surprised

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context provided, 'composed' means to consist of. The paragraph explains that a drop of water is composed of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, 'To be uniquely discovered,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the composition of a drop of water. Choice C, 'To be set apart,' and Choice D, 'To be surprised,' are also incorrect as they do not convey the meaning of 'composed' as it is used in this paragraph.

3. What statement can be implied from the content of the article?

• A. Diversity is interesting to learn about.
• B. Everyone should learn to use chopsticks.
• C. European methods of eating are the best.
• D. Space travel has made eating easier.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct statement that can be implied from the content of the article is that diversity is interesting to learn about. The passage discusses different cultural methods of eating, highlighting the value of discovering these differences and learning new ways to do things. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on a specific eating tool without capturing the broader message of cultural diversity. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a superiority of European methods without considering the value of diversity. Choice D is incorrect as the passage mentions that space travel has created new challenges for consuming food, not necessarily making eating easier.

4. 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.

5. In the passage, a trick is described as?

• A. A special look given to your partner across the table
• B. A book that gives strategies on how to win at Bridge
• C. A specific card the dealer gives to the person to her right
• D. A round in which each player plays a card, and the highest card wins

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the passage, a trick is described as a specific card played by each player, forming a collection of four cards. This is a fundamental concept in the game of Bridge, where players take turns playing cards to create a trick. The trick is won by the player with the highest card of the lead suit or the trump suit if applicable. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the definition of a trick as provided in the passage.
