1. What is the passage primarily about?

• A. What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth
• B. A comparison of the Moon and Earth
• C. The Moon’s effect on Earth
• D. The origin of the Moon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'What we know about the Moon and its differences from Earth.' The passage discusses various aspects of the Moon, including its origin, gravitational influence on Earth, physical characteristics, lack of atmosphere, and surface features. It provides insights into what humans know about the Moon and highlights its differences from Earth. Choice B is incorrect because while the passage does compare certain aspects of the Moon and Earth, it primarily focuses on the Moon itself rather than a direct comparison. Choice C is incorrect as the passage briefly mentions the Moon's effect on Earth in relation to tides but does not primarily focus on this aspect. Choice D is incorrect as the origin of the Moon is mentioned in the passage, but it is not the primary focus of the text.

2. 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.

3. FRAX takes into account all of the following factors EXCEPT ___________.

• A. Lifestyle choices
• B. Exposure to toxins
• C. Genetic heritage
• D. Exposure to sunlight

Correct answer: B

Rationale: FRAX, a tool used to assess fracture risk, considers various factors like lifestyle choices, genetic heritage, and exposure to sunlight. However, exposure to toxins is not mentioned in the provided extract as a factor considered by FRAX. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Exposure to toxins is unrelated to fracture risk assessment as per the information provided. Lifestyle choices, genetic heritage, and exposure to sunlight are all factors that FRAX takes into consideration to determine the risk of experiencing a fracture within the next decade.

4. Which statement is not listed as a detail within the passage?

• A. Changes in the ECG are typically used for the diagnosis of abnormal cardiac rhythm.
• B. The signal has a characteristic record called the electrocardiogram.
• C. The 'wave of excitation' starts at the SA node.
• D. The 'wave of excitation' spreads through the heart wall and is accompanied by electric changes.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The corrected statement should be: Changes in the ECG are not typically used for the diagnosis of abnormal cardiac rhythm. The passage mentions that the heart sends out electric currents in waves, and the 'wave of excitation' spreads through the heart wall accompanied by electric changes. It details the process of how the heart's electric impulses are recorded and how abnormalities can be detected. However, it does not state that ECG changes are specifically used for diagnosing abnormal cardiac rhythms. Choice A is the correct answer because it misrepresents the information provided in the passage. Choices B, C, and D are all supported by the passage and align with the details mentioned regarding the electrocardiogram and the wave of excitation in the heart.

5. What is the meaning of the word consensus as it is used in the last paragraph about Barefoot Running?

• A. Investigation.
• B. Purpose.
• C. Trepidation.
• D. Unanimity.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: "Consensus" refers to a general agreement or unanimity among individuals, particularly regarding the safety and effectiveness of barefoot running. The passage discusses differing opinions on this subject, indicating that there is not a unanimous agreement. Thus, choice D accurately captures the meaning of "consensus" within the context of the discussion.
