1. What is the meaning of the word touted as used in the first paragraph about Aromatherapy?

• A. Revealed.
• B. Glorified.
• C. Overcome.
• D. Deceived.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: "Touted" in this passage means glorified or praised, indicating how aromatherapy has been widely promoted as beneficial. The context implies that while it is marketed positively, recent studies have called its effectiveness into question. Other choices do not capture this promotional aspect accurately, making B the best fit.

2. What is stated in the passage?

• A. Physical illness can cause insomnia.
• B. Exercise causes insomnia.
• C. There is no solution to insomnia.
• D. Sleep is unnecessary for good health.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Physical illness can cause insomnia.' The passage mentions that chronic insomnia can result from a medical illness, among other conditions. This indicates a direct link between physical illness and insomnia. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not mention exercise causing insomnia but actually suggests developing good sleep habits as a solution. Choice C is incorrect as the passage provides solutions to insomnia, such as sleep hygiene and non-pharmacological therapies. Choice D is incorrect as the passage emphasizes the importance of getting a good night's sleep for good health, implying that sleep is necessary.

3. What conclusion can be drawn about the article?

• A. The author explains differences in eating methods.
• B. Eating habits vary across different cultures.
• C. Space travel has posed challenges for eating habits.
• D. Chopsticks are more suitable than forks for space travel.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage discusses different eating methods in various cultures, focusing on their differences. The author describes the development of cutlery in European cultures, the use of chopsticks in China, and how space travel has influenced eating tools for astronauts. Choice B is incorrect because the passage emphasizes the differences rather than the similarities in eating habits across cultures. Choice C is partially supported by the passage as it mentions that space travel has created new challenges for consuming food, but it is not the main conclusion of the article. Choice D is not directly supported by the passage as it discusses the challenges of using chopsticks and forks in space rather than stating that chopsticks are superior to forks.

4. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage?

• A. Many patients die each year from medical error.
• B. Lifewings Partners educates patients on consumer safety.
• C. Steve Harden is the founder of Lifewings Partners.
• D. The most common medical error is overmedication.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage discusses the dangers of medical errors and provides specific examples of such errors but does not indicate that overmedication is the most common error. Therefore, since option D is not supported by the text, it is the correct choice for what is not mentioned.

5. What is stated in this paragraph?

• A. Some men have harsh voices
• B. Relaxed people often have harsh voices
• C. Not everyone finds a harsh voice irritating
• D. Harsh voice qualities usually come from too much tension in the throat and jaw

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The paragraph explains that harsh voice qualities usually result from too much tension in the throat and jaw. It further discusses how tension tightens muscles, leading to unpleasant voice tones. While the paragraph addresses the issue of harsh voices, it does not mention that only some men have harsh voices (choice A) or that relaxed people often exhibit this quality (choice B). Additionally, the paragraph does not touch upon whether everyone finds harsh voices irritating (choice C), only stating that not everyone may be bothered by it.
