1. What is the relationship between the tilt of the Earth and seasons as explained in the passage on Daylight Savings Time?

• A. The tilt of the Earth has no effect on seasons.
• B. The tilt of the Earth creates seasons.
• C. The tilt of the Earth changes throughout the year.
• D. The tilt of the Earth is random and unpredictable.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The tilt of the Earth creates seasons.' The passage explains that the tilt of the Earth causes the different seasons by changing the amount of sunlight different regions receive. This tilt results in varying angles at which sunlight reaches different parts of the Earth, leading to the seasonal changes in temperature and daylight hours. Choice A is incorrect because the passage clearly states that the tilt of the Earth does have an effect on the seasons. Choice C is incorrect because the tilt of the Earth remains relatively constant throughout the year. Choice D is incorrect as the tilt of the Earth is not random but follows a consistent pattern.

2. The information presented in this article is?

• A. Against eating and drinking
• B. Against drinking alcohol
• C. Against eating rich foods
• D. Unbiased and informative.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The information presented in the article is unbiased in its approach. While the article highlights the potential issues related to overeating and alcohol abuse, it does not explicitly advocate against eating and drinking, drinking alcohol, or eating rich foods. The primary focus is on the negative consequences of overeating and alcohol abuse, making choice D, 'Unbiased and informative,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they are not supported by the content of the article; it merely discusses the risks associated with overeating and alcohol abuse without taking a stand against them.

3. What is the meaning of the word 'sterile' as it is used in the second paragraph?

• A. free of bacteria
• B. healthy
• C. delicious
• D. impotent

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context provided, 'sterile' means free of bacteria. The text mentions that raw foods are not sterile and can be a common source of foodborne illnesses due to contamination with harmful bacteria. 'Healthy' (choice B) is incorrect as the term 'sterile' specifically refers to the absence of bacteria, not overall health. 'Delicious' (choice C) is irrelevant to the context of bacteria contamination. 'Impotent' (choice D) is also incorrect as it does not relate to the concept of being free from bacteria.

4. What is the meaning of the word onset as used in the first paragraph?

• A. Cure rate
• B. Incubation period
• C. Remainder
• D. Commencement

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, "onset" refers to the beginning or commencement of dementia symptoms. The term is used to indicate when the disease first becomes noticeable in patients, making option D the correct choice.

5. Which is the best title for the passage about Hypertension?

• A. How to Manage Hypertension Successfully
• B. Doctors Discover the Hidden Dangers of Hypertension
• C. Doctors Work to Understand the Causes of Hypertension
• D. Causes, Symptoms, Complications, and Management of Hypertension

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best title for the passage about Hypertension is 'Causes, Symptoms, Complications, and Management of Hypertension.' This title accurately reflects the content of the passage, which provides information about the causes, symptoms, complications, and management of hypertension. It covers a broad spectrum of information presented in the passage, making it the most comprehensive and suitable title. Choice A, 'How to Manage Hypertension Successfully,' is too narrow as it focuses solely on management without encompassing the other crucial aspects like causes and symptoms. Choice B, 'Doctors Discover the Hidden Dangers of Hypertension,' is misleading as the passage does not focus on any recent discoveries but rather provides general information about hypertension. Choice C, 'Doctors Work to Understand the Causes of Hypertension,' is also inaccurate as the passage mainly discusses causes, symptoms, complications, and management, rather than doctors' ongoing research efforts.
