1. Which claim from the passage best describes the benefits of nanotechnology?

• A. Scientists can develop novel technologies and products.
• B. Nanotechnology is defined as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers.
• C. The different colors can be used in simple medical tests to indicate infection or disease.
• D. Unique properties of materials emerge.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage specifically states that at the nanoscale, unique properties of materials emerge, which is a key benefit of nanotechnology. Choice A talks about what scientists can do but does not directly describe the benefits mentioned in the passage. Choice B is the definition of nanotechnology and not a specific benefit. Choice C mentions the use of different colors in medical tests, which is a specific application rather than a general benefit of nanotechnology.

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

• A. Running barefoot is natural and advantageous.
• B. The cost of modern running shoes keeps increasing.
• C. Concrete sidewalks are harder than dirt paths.
• D. The arch of the foot gives a spring to the step.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The statement that "running barefoot is natural and advantageous" reflects a subjective opinion, which cannot be definitively proven or measured objectively. The other statements (B, C, and D) provide factual observations or comparisons that can be validated through evidence, which distinguishes A as the only opinion-based statement.

3. 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.

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

• A. Central
• B. Initial
• C. Trifling
• D. Irrelevant

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.

5. 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.
