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 moderation as used in the second paragraph?

• A. Adequate amounts
• B. Intervals of time
• C. Excess
• D. Variation

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, moderation means consuming adequate amounts of unsaturated fats. The passage highlights that unsaturated fats like olive oil and omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial when consumed in appropriate quantities. Choice B, intervals of time, is incorrect as it does not relate to the consumption of fats. Choice C, excess, is incorrect because moderation implies avoiding excess consumption. Choice D, variation, is unrelated to the context of consuming fats in appropriate amounts.

3. Which might be a good title for this passage?

• A. “Everyone Should Run Barefoot”
• B. “How to Prevent Running Injuries”
• C. “Modern Road Surfaces Versus Barefoot Running”
• D. “The Debate over Barefoot Running”

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The title "The Debate over Barefoot Running" encapsulates the central theme of the passage, which explores both the advantages and disadvantages of barefoot running. It effectively summarizes the discussions around differing opinions and the lack of consensus on this topic. Other titles do not accurately reflect the primary focus of the essay, making D the most suitable choice.

4. What can the reader infer about the 'sweatiest students' referred to in the last sentence in the passage?

• A. These students are more physically active than others.
• B. These students have worked harder during class.
• C. These students do not necessarily perform better academically.
• D. These students excel in all sports activities.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The reader can infer that the 'sweatiest students' have worked harder during class. This inference is supported by the context that students are graded based on the effort they make in the class, with some even receiving extra credit for being the sweatiest students in the room. Choice A is incorrect as there is no indication in the passage that the sweatiest students are more physically active than others; they are recognized for their effort, not necessarily for being the most active. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not discuss the academic performance of the sweatiest students. Choice D is incorrect as there is no evidence to suggest that the sweatiest students excel in all sports activities; they are acknowledged for their effort rather than their overall sports performance.

5. What is the best title for the passage on bicycles?

• A. Bicycles Are Better.
• B. Cycle Your Way to Fitness.
• C. A Ride through the History of Bicycles.
• D. The Popularity of Bicycles.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'A Ride through the History of Bicycles.' This title best captures the passage's focus on the historical development and evolution of the bicycle from its invention to its modern form. Choice A, 'Bicycles Are Better,' is too general and doesn't encompass the historical aspect discussed in the passage. Choice B, 'Cycle Your Way to Fitness,' focuses solely on the fitness aspect of bicycles, ignoring the broader historical context. Choice D, 'The Popularity of Bicycles,' touches on one aspect but does not encompass the comprehensive historical journey presented in the passage.
