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 composed in the first paragraph?

• A. To consist of
• B. To break apart
• C. To mix with other elements
• D. To heat up

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'composed' means to be made up of or to consist of something. In the provided extract, it describes how a single drop of water is composed of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the correct answer is 'To consist of.' Choice B, 'To break apart,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of 'composed.' Choice C, 'To mix with other elements,' is incorrect as 'composed' refers to being made up of specific components, not mixed with others. Choice D, 'To heat up,' is unrelated to the meaning of 'composed' in this context.

3. What would be the best title for this passage?

• A. Being a Team in PE
• B. A New Kind of Grade
• C. Learning Martial Arts
• D. PE for School and Life

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best title for this passage is 'PE for School and Life' as it encapsulates the broader purpose of physical education described in the extract. The passage emphasizes teaching students lifelong fitness habits, instilling lessons about maintaining good health, staying fit, and introducing exercise that can be incorporated into their lives. The focus is on fitness as a lifelong skill rather than just a short-term activity for a good grade. Choice A, 'Being a Team in PE,' is incorrect as the passage highlights individual exercise and movement rather than team-based activities. Choice B, 'A New Kind of Grade,' is also incorrect as the passage mentions a shift in grading towards effort rather than specific performance tasks. Choice C, 'Learning Martial Arts,' is too narrow as the passage discusses a variety of activities beyond martial arts that are taught in modern PE classes.

4. What conclusion can you draw from the first sentence of the passage?

• A. Osteoporosis is more common than anyone previously imagined.
• B. The media give a lot of overall coverage to osteoporosis.
• C. Only women are at high risk for developing bone thinning.
• D. Thinning bones is not considered a serious medical problem.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The first sentence suggests that osteoporosis receives significant media coverage, indicating that the media gives a lot of overall coverage to the issue. This conclusion can be drawn as the passage mentions how osteoporosis is a major health concern for women and is widely covered in newspapers and television commercials. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention the prevalence of osteoporosis compared to previous estimates. Choice C is incorrect as the passage highlights that men are being overlooked in terms of bone thinning concerns. Choice D is incorrect as the passage emphasizes the seriousness of bone thinning and the need for preventive measures.

5. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage about A Short History of the CDC?

• A. Where the organization began.
• B. Who first ran the organization.
• C. When the organization changed its name.
• D. What divisions make up the current CDC.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage does not provide specific details about the divisions that currently make up the CDC. Instead, it focuses on the organization's historical context, original goals, and overall mission. Thus, D is correct as it identifies information not covered in the passage.
