1. Identify the overall tone of the essay about Sunny-Side Up.

• A. Confused.
• B. Confident.
• C. Disheartened.
• D. Disapproving.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The overall tone of the essay is confident, as the author articulates the positive effects of sunlight and presents a well-supported argument. The assertive language used throughout reflects a strong belief in the benefits of sunlight, making B the correct answer.

2. What is the meaning of the word touted as used in the first paragraph about Aromatherapy?

• A. Revealed.
• B. Glorified.
• C. Overcome.
• D. Deceived.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: "Touted" in this passage means glorified or praised, indicating how aromatherapy has been widely promoted as beneficial. The context implies that while it is marketed positively, recent studies have called its effectiveness into question. Other choices do not capture this promotional aspect accurately, making B the best fit.

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 statement can be implied from the content of the article?

• A. Diversity is interesting to learn about.
• B. Everyone should learn to use chopsticks.
• C. European methods of eating are the best.
• D. Space travel has made eating easier.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct statement that can be implied from the content of the article is that diversity is interesting to learn about. The passage discusses different cultural methods of eating, highlighting the value of discovering these differences and learning new ways to do things. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on a specific eating tool without capturing the broader message of cultural diversity. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a superiority of European methods without considering the value of diversity. Choice D is incorrect as the passage mentions that space travel has created new challenges for consuming food, not necessarily making eating easier.

5. What are the three steps of the 'wave of excitation'?

• A. The discharge from the SA node, the peak ECG, and the excitement of the ventricle.
• B. The excitement of the ventricle, the relaxing of the ventricle, and the systemic neural response.
• C. The contraction of the atrium, the relaxation of the atrium, and the contraction of the ventricle.
• D. The excitation of the atrium, the excitement of the ventricle, and the relaxing of the ventricle.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct steps of the 'wave of excitation' are the excitation of the atrium, excitement of the ventricle, and relaxation of the ventricle. In the described process, the 'wave of excitation' starts with the discharge from the SA node, leading to the excitation of the atrium. Next, the peak ECG corresponds to the excitement of the ventricle, not its relaxation. Finally, the wave concludes with the relaxation of the ventricle, not its contraction. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the sequential steps of the 'wave of excitation' as presented in the extract.
