1. The passage mentions all of these uses for microscopy EXCEPT ___________.

• A. Ear surgery
• B. Amputations
• C. Vasectomies
• D. Reconstructions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The passage discusses various uses of microscopy in surgery, including ear surgery, amputations, and reconstructions. However, vasectomies are not mentioned as an application of microscopy in the text. Therefore, vasectomies are the exception among the listed uses. Choices A, B, and D are supported by details in the extract, making them incorrect answers. The passage highlights the uses of microscopy in delicate ear operations, repairing blood vessels in partially amputated limbs, and improving breast reconstructions. While vasectomies are mentioned briefly in the extract, they are not connected to the application of microscopy in the context of surgeries.

2. 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.

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.

4. The passage mentions all of the following claims for the health benefits of super foods EXCEPT ___________.

• A. lowering cholesterol
• B. stabilizing insulin levels
• C. building muscle mass
• D. reducing blood pressure

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage discusses various health benefits of superfoods, such as lowering cholesterol, stabilizing insulin levels, and reducing blood pressure. However, it does not mention anything about building muscle mass, making C the correct choice as it identifies the claim that is not supported by the passage.

5. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage?

• A. Many patients die each year from medical error.
• B. Lifewings Partners educates patients on consumer safety.
• C. Steve Harden is the founder of Lifewings Partners.
• D. The most common medical error is overmedication.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage discusses the dangers of medical errors and provides specific examples of such errors but does not indicate that overmedication is the most common error. Therefore, since option D is not supported by the text, it is the correct choice for what is not mentioned.
