1. What is the meaning of the word 'evolved' in the first paragraph?

• A. To spread
• B. To gradually develop
• C. To revolve
• D. To shift

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the given extract, 'evolved' means to gradually develop. The systems in the body have evolved over time, indicating a gradual development and adaptation. 'To spread,' 'to revolve,' and 'to shift' do not capture the idea of a gradual development as portrayed in the text, making them incorrect choices.

2. Why was the roadway so dangerous to build?

• A. There weren't enough materials available to build the road
• B. The workers might get hit by passing cars
• C. The men would fall to their deaths
• D. The men would be attacked by animals.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The roadway was dangerous to build because the men involved in the construction were at risk of falling to their deaths. The excerpt mentions that the construction of the roadway was the most dangerous and treacherous part of the entire task, indicating a high risk of falling due to the height and precarious nature of the construction site. Choice A is incorrect because the danger was due to the physical risks of falling and not due to a lack of materials. Choice B is incorrect as passing cars were not the primary danger during the construction of the roadway. Choice D is incorrect since there is no mention of workers being attacked by animals during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge.

3. Which statement would not be inferred by the reader in the passage about Super Foods?

• A. Instant oatmeal can be part of a healthful breakfast.
• B. Blueberries are an especially healthful food.
• C. Certain grains and dairy products are super foods.
• D. Super foods are more expensive than processed foods.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage does not imply or provide information regarding the cost of superfoods compared to processed foods. Therefore, D is the correct answer, as it identifies a statement that cannot be inferred from the passage.

4. Throughout this passage the word suit means?

• A. A set of clothing to be worn together
• B. To be convenient or right for
• C. To request or appeal persistently
• D. One of the four categories in a deck of cards.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the passage, the word 'suit' is used in the context of card games, specifically in relation to playing cards of the same category. It refers to being convenient or right for a particular purpose in the game of Bridge. The other choices are incorrect because 'suit' in this passage does not refer to a set of clothing (option A), persistent requesting (option C), or one of the four categories in a deck of cards (option D). The passage clearly explains how the term 'suit' is used in the context of playing cards in the game of Bridge.

5. The information presented is:

• A. Slanted in favor of newscasters
• B. Slanted against people with deep voices
• C. Balanced in its approach
• D. Not applicable

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The information is balanced in its approach. While the extract mentions that women tend to have shriller voices, making them less desirable public speakers, newscasters, or political candidates, it does not show bias in favor of newscasters or against people with deep voices. The main focus is on the impact of voice qualities such as harshness, rather than promoting or criticizing any specific group.
