1. Which detail is not given as a side effect of NSAIDs?

• A. Nausea
• B. Headache
• C. Weight loss
• D. Dizziness

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage lists several side effects of NSAIDs, including nausea, headache, and dizziness. However, weight loss is not mentioned as a side effect, making option C the correct choice since it does not align with the details provided in the text.

2. What is the main idea of this passage?

• A. The water cycle consists of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation
• B. Water cycle components include only evaporation and condensation
• C. The water cycle includes precipitation, runoff, evaporation, and condensation
• D. The water cycle happens in the atmosphere only

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The water cycle consists of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.' The passage explains the stages of the water cycle, which are precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, or hail), runoff, evaporation, and condensation. Choice B is incorrect because the water cycle involves more than just evaporation and condensation. Choice C is incorrect as it includes an additional element, runoff, not mentioned as a primary component of the water cycle in the passage. Choice D is incorrect as the water cycle involves processes both in the atmosphere and on the ground.

3. What does the passage about the Water Cycle explain?

• A. The water cycle consists of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.
• B. The water cycle is a continuous process of recycling water on Earth.
• C. Rain is the most important part of the water cycle.
• D. Evaporation is the final step in the water cycle.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The water cycle consists of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.' The passage explains the stages of the water cycle, starting with precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) falling to the ground, followed by runoff, evaporation transforming liquid water into water vapor, and finally condensation turning water vapor back into liquid. Choice B is incorrect because it is too broad and doesn't specifically address the stages of the water cycle. Choice C is incorrect as rain is just one part of the water cycle and not the most important. Choice D is incorrect as evaporation is not the final step but one of the stages of the water cycle.

4. What is the meaning of the word supplementation as used in the second paragraph?

• A. Extra
• B. Organization
• C. Attachment
• D. Revision

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term "supplementation" refers to the addition of nutrients to the diet. In the context of the passage, it highlights the need for seniors to receive extra nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D beyond what they typically consume in their diets. This reflects the understanding that seniors may not get sufficient nutrition solely from their regular meals, supporting option A.

5. Why did Strauss set up a net during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge?

• A. For suspension
• B. For balance
• C. For aesthetics
• D. For safety

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Strauss set up a net to ensure the safety of the workers in case of falls during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. Safety nets were essential to protect the workers from potential accidents or falls while working on the bridge. Choice A ('For suspension') is incorrect as safety nets were not used for suspension purposes but rather for worker safety. Choice B ('For balance') is incorrect as the balance of the bridge was maintained by other construction elements, not safety nets. Choice C ('For aesthetics') is incorrect as safety nets are not related to the visual appearance of the bridge but rather to the protection of the workers.
