2. What is the best title for the passage on bicycles?

• A. Bicycles Are Better.
• B. Cycle Your Way to Fitness.
• C. A Ride through the History of Bicycles.
• D. The Popularity of Bicycles.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'A Ride through the History of Bicycles.' This title best captures the passage's focus on the historical development and evolution of the bicycle from its invention to its modern form. Choice A, 'Bicycles Are Better,' is too general and doesn't encompass the historical aspect discussed in the passage. Choice B, 'Cycle Your Way to Fitness,' focuses solely on the fitness aspect of bicycles, ignoring the broader historical context. Choice D, 'The Popularity of Bicycles,' touches on one aspect but does not encompass the comprehensive historical journey presented in the passage.

3. Why does the author mention 'impact craters' in line 16?

• A. To explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering
• B. To explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites
• C. To show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere
• D. To show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The mention of impact craters in the text is to highlight the consequence of the Moon lacking an atmosphere. The absence of an atmosphere on the Moon leaves it vulnerable to meteorite impacts, resulting in the multitude of impact craters on its surface. Choice A is incorrect because the mention of impact craters is not related to atmospheric weathering but rather to the lack of an atmosphere. Choice B is incorrect as it misinterprets the reason for the absence of plant life on the Moon. Choice D is incorrect as the text explicitly states that the Moon lacks tectonic or volcanic activity, which is not the focus of the mention of impact craters.

• A. A set of clothing to be worn together
• B. To be convenient or right for
• C. To request or appeal persistently
• D. One of the four categories in a deck of cards.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the passage, the word 'suit' is used in the context of card games, specifically in relation to playing cards of the same category. It refers to being convenient or right for a particular purpose in the game of Bridge. The other choices are incorrect because 'suit' in this passage does not refer to a set of clothing (option A), persistent requesting (option C), or one of the four categories in a deck of cards (option D). The passage clearly explains how the term 'suit' is used in the context of playing cards in the game of Bridge.
