1. Which of the following statements is an opinion related to Super Foods?

• A. Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids.
• B. Lentils are high in both protein and fiber.
• C. Pomegranates are delicious and healthful.
• D. Oats move slowly through the digestive tract.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The statement about pomegranates being delicious and healthful reflects a subjective opinion about taste and health benefits. This contrasts with the other options, which present factual information about the nutritional content of walnuts, lentils, and oats, making C the correct choice for an opinion.

2. What is implied by this paragraph about food and drink?

• A. We should eat and drink in reasonable quantities.
• B. Alcohol should be banned.
• C. People should eat in large quantities.
• D. We need stronger laws to control drunk drivers.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The paragraph emphasizes that while food and drink are necessary and desirable, their abuse can lead to serious physical and mental problems. It highlights the negative consequences of overeating and alcohol abuse, such as strain on the heart, diabetes, and other health issues. The text suggests the importance of moderation in consumption to prevent health problems. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the paragraph does not call for a ban on alcohol, promote eating in large quantities, or specifically discuss the need for stronger laws to control drunk drivers.

3. What is the meaning of the word 'emitting' as it is used in the second paragraph?

• A. Repelling
• B. Releasing
• C. Closing
• D. Charging

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context provided, 'emitting' means releasing, specifically referring to the electric currents being released in the body. The passage describes how electric currents are constantly being emitted in the body and can be detected on the body's surface, ultimately recorded by an electrocardiograph. This process is about the release of electric impulses, making 'releasing' the correct interpretation. Choice A, 'Repelling,' implies pushing away, which is not the intended meaning in this context. Choice C, 'Closing,' and Choice D, 'Charging,' do not align with the context of electric currents being emitted.

4. What is stated in this paragraph?

• A. Some men have harsh voices
• B. Relaxed people often have harsh voices
• C. Not everyone finds a harsh voice irritating
• D. Harsh voice qualities usually come from too much tension in the throat and jaw

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The paragraph explains that harsh voice qualities usually result from too much tension in the throat and jaw. It further discusses how tension tightens muscles, leading to unpleasant voice tones. While the paragraph addresses the issue of harsh voices, it does not mention that only some men have harsh voices (choice A) or that relaxed people often exhibit this quality (choice B). Additionally, the paragraph does not touch upon whether everyone finds harsh voices irritating (choice C), only stating that not everyone may be bothered by it.

5. In the passage the word embark means to:

• A. Remove the covering from a tree
• B. Speak harshly to others
• C. Entertain the reader
• D. Put or go on board a ship

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'embark' typically means to board a ship or begin a journey. In this context, it means to start or set out on a new undertaking or venture, often including the act of boarding a ship. In the provided passage about the Golden Gate Bridge, it is mentioned that builders, architects, and workers embarked on the challenge of building a bridge across the Golden Gate Strait, which refers to them starting this new undertaking. Therefore, the correct definition of 'embark' is D. Put or go on board a ship. The other choices are incorrect: A. Removing the covering from a tree is unrelated to the context of the passage. B. Speaking harshly to others and C. Entertaining the reader are also irrelevant to the meaning of 'embark' in this context.
