2. Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage about Yoga?

• A. Improved circulation.
• B. Strengthening of core muscles.
• C. Stress reduction.
• D. Fortification of immune system.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage outlines several benefits of yoga, such as improved circulation, strengthened core muscles, and reduced stress. However, it does not mention the fortification of the immune system, which is not discussed in the context of the benefits of yoga. This makes D the correct answer, as it is the only option not supported by the passage.

• 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.

• B. To encourage people to avoid sleep.
• C. To criticize people who have sleep problems.
• D. To promote the use of sleep medication.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The author wrote the passage to explain insomnia and suggest ways to deal with it. The passage provides information about insomnia, its impact on daily life, and offers solutions like sleep hygiene and non-pharmacological therapies. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as the passage does not encourage avoiding sleep, criticize people with sleep problems, or promote the use of sleep medication. Instead, it focuses on understanding and addressing insomnia.

5. 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.
