1. Which is not mentioned as a possible result of being spanked in childhood?

• A. Aggression
• B. Coercive sex
• C. Delinquency
• D. Incontinence

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Incontinence.' The passage discusses the negative consequences of spanking in childhood, such as increased aggression, delinquent behavior, and future sexual problems like coercive sex. However, incontinence is not mentioned as a possible result of being spanked. Therefore, it is the correct choice. Choices A, B, and C are all supported by the passage, making them incorrect answers.

2. Which is not listed as an example of a low-impact sport?

• A. Martial arts
• B. Basketball
• C. Yoga
• D. Weight lifting

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Basketball is not listed as a low-impact sport in the extract provided; the others (martial arts, yoga, and weight lifting) are considered low-impact activities. The extract mentions that students can participate in low-impact sports like yoga, martial arts, and weight lifting in modern PE classes, emphasizing their benefits and the focus on general skills. Basketball, on the other hand, is not included in the list of low-impact sports mentioned in the extract, making it the correct answer. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the difference between high-impact and low-impact sports for maintaining fitness and health.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following is not mentioned as being important for seniors?

• A. Vitamin B12
• B. Calcium
• C. Nitrates
• D. Exercise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage lists important nutrients for seniors, including fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and B12, while exercise is also discussed as crucial for health. However, nitrates are not mentioned at all, making option C correct since it stands out as the only nutrient not discussed in the context of seniors’ health

5. The author describes cosmetics in each of the following cultures EXCEPT ___________.

• A. Greek
• B. Egyptian
• C. Roman
• D. Native American

Correct answer: D

This absence of information about Native American culture leads to the conclusion that option D is correct since it reflects a lack of discussion on that specific culture.
