1. What is the meaning of the word exposed as used in the first paragraph about Toxins and Your Health?

• A. Uncovered.
• B. Subjected.
• C. Visible.
• D. Divulged.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the passage, "exposed" means to be subjected to harmful elements. It suggests vulnerability to these toxins, which can lead to serious health issues later in life. The other options do not accurately capture the implications of "exposed" in relation to toxic substances, making B the correct choice.

2. Which of the following statements is an opinion related to MRSA?

• A. Hand-washing stations are one means of combating MRSA infection.
• B. Not all Staphylococcus bacteria are resistant to antibiotics.
• C. Hospitals in the United States should quickly adopt the use of new germ-fighting textiles.
• D. MRSA infection kills more people in the United States than does HIV/AIDS.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it is an opinion rather than a verifiable fact. The statement suggests a recommendation for hospitals to adopt new germ-fighting textiles swiftly, which is a subjective viewpoint and not objectively measurable. Choices A and B are factual statements regarding combating MRSA infection and antibiotic resistance, respectively. Choice D provides a comparison of MRSA infection with HIV/AIDS, which is a factual statement based on statistical data. Therefore, C is the only choice that presents an opinion rather than a fact.

3. What does the word 'integral' mean as used in the first paragraph of the passage?

• A. Central

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'integral' means 'central' or essential. The passage discusses the debate around spanking as a method of discipline. Some parents consider it an integral part of teaching right and wrong, highlighting its central importance. Therefore, the correct answer is 'A: Central.' Choice B, 'Initial,' is incorrect as the word 'integral' does not refer to something being at the beginning of a process or sequence. Choice C, 'Trifling,' is incorrect as 'integral' implies significance and importance, opposite to being trivial. Choice D, 'Irrelevant,' is incorrect as the passage clearly states that some parents view spanking as essential, making it relevant and not irrelevant.
