1. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage about Aromatherapy?

• A. Subjects were given mild stressors.
• B. Lemon and lavender scents were tested.
• C. Vanilla worked better than lemon for stress.
• D. The study took place at Ohio State University.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage does not support the idea that vanilla worked better than lemon for stress relief; instead, it focuses specifically on lemon and lavender as the tested scents. The absence of this information regarding vanilla makes C the correct answer, as it is not included in the details provided in the passage.

2. What is the meaning of the word 'evolved' in the first paragraph?

• A. To spread
• B. To gradually develop
• C. To revolve
• D. To shift

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the given extract, 'evolved' means to gradually develop. The systems in the body have evolved over time, indicating a gradual development and adaptation. 'To spread,' 'to revolve,' and 'to shift' do not capture the idea of a gradual development as portrayed in the text, making them incorrect choices.

• A. Traversed by

Correct answer: B

Rationale: "Afforded to" in this context means "presented to," as it refers to the education options available to women at the time.

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.
