• A. succeed
• B. position
• C. necessary

2. When patients are being counseled, what is happening?

• A. They are being discharged

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 'Produced outside the body,' is the opposite of endogenous. Choice C, 'Taken from an external source,' describes exogenous rather than endogenous.

• B. HFCS is cheaper to use than sugar.
• C. HFCS is now used to sweeten a variety of products.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage does not mention that HFCS contains more calories than aspartame.

Detail A is supported by the passage as both HFCS and sugar share a biological structure. Detail B is also mentioned in the passage, stating that HFCS is cheaper to use than sugar. Detail C is supported by the text, which mentions that HFCS is now used to sweeten a variety of products. However, detail D is never discussed in the passage, making it the correct answer.
