1. What is the meaning of the word moderate as used in the last paragraph?

• A. Diminish
• B. Facilitate
• C. Enhance
• D. Conclude

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, "moderate" means to diminish or reduce the severity of symptoms, such as those of attention deficit hyperactive disorder.

2. What is the meaning of the word 'abstain' as used in the last paragraph?

• A. Dishonor
• B. Go without
• C. Connect to
• D. Liberate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the passage, 'abstain' means to refrain from or go without. The passage discusses the challenges of treating individuals with both eating disorders and substance abuse issues. It mentions that while treatment for addiction involves abstinence, it is not possible to completely abstain from food. This highlights the meaning of 'abstain' as 'go without' in this context. The other choices are incorrect: 'Dishonor' does not relate to abstain, 'Connect to' is not synonymous with abstain, and 'Liberate' does not align with the context of the passage.

3. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage about Aromatherapy?

• A. Subjects were given mild stressors.
• B. Lemon and lavender scents were tested.
• C. Vanilla worked better than lemon for stress.
• D. The study took place at Ohio State University.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage does not support the idea that vanilla worked better than lemon for stress relief; instead, it focuses specifically on lemon and lavender as the tested scents. The absence of this information regarding vanilla makes C the correct answer, as it is not included in the details provided in the passage.

4. The passage explicitly states?

• A. That the highest card within the 'trump' suit always wins the trick.
• B. That there is a pile of leftover cards that is placed in the middle of the game table.
• C. If a player cannot follow suit, they lose their turn to the next player.
• D. The Ace card is always the lowest card.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'That the highest card within the 'trump' suit always wins the trick.' The passage explicitly mentions that in the game of Bridge, if a player plays a card from the trump suit, it always wins the trick. This detail is clearly stated in the text, making it the correct choice. Choice B is incorrect as there is no mention of a pile of leftover cards in the passage. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not state that a player loses their turn if they cannot follow suit; instead, they play any card. Choice D is incorrect as the passage states that the ace is high, not low.

• C. The people of Siam vied for the honor of receiving the king's gift or a white elephant.
• D. White elephants were a financial burden despite being considered sacred.

Rationale: The correct answer is C. In the culture of Siam, white elephants were highly regarded as sacred and receiving one as a gift from the king was considered an honor. It was a symbol of prestige and status to receive the king's gift of a white elephant. Option A is incorrect as white elephants were not used for meat supply. Option B is also incorrect as white elephants were not prized for their work but rather for their symbolic value. Option D is partially correct but does not capture the full significance of white elephants in Siam.
