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.

3. What is the meaning of the word satiety as used in the last paragraph about The Sleep Workout?

• A. A state of tiredness.
• B. A state of being satisfied.
• C. A state of being overloaded.
• D. A state of confusion.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Satiety refers to a state of being satisfied, particularly in terms of appetite. In the context of the excerpt provided, it explains that individuals who lack adequate sleep may experience lowered levels of leptin, a hormone that controls appetite. As a result, even after meeting their caloric needs, they may still crave carbohydrates, indicating a lack of satisfaction or satiety. This can lead to obesity and disrupt healthy eating habits. Therefore, choice B, 'A state of being satisfied,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of satiety in the context of appetite regulation and sleep's impact on food cravings.

4. What is the meaning of the word 'technical' as it is used in the fourth paragraph?

• A. requiring expert knowledge
• B. incomplete
• C. foreign
• D. plagiarized

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: requiring expert knowledge.' In the context provided, 'technical' refers to articles that demand expert knowledge to understand. The passage mentions that articles published in medical journals can be technical, meaning they are complex and require specialized expertise to comprehend. Choice B, 'incomplete,' is incorrect as 'technical' does not imply incompleteness. Choices C and D, 'foreign' and 'plagiarized,' are also incorrect as they do not align with the context of the passage.

5. What was the author's primary purpose for writing this essay?

• A. To inform the reader about the stages of the water cycle
• B. To explain how rain is formed
• C. To persuade readers to preserve water
• D. To inform the reader about water's importance in life

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The author's primary purpose for writing this essay is to inform the readers about the stages of the water cycle. The essay explains how water moves through the cycle, including processes like precipitation, runoff, evaporation, and condensation. Choice A is correct because the focus is on educating readers about the water cycle, not just explaining how rain is formed (Choice B), persuading readers to preserve water (Choice C), or discussing water's importance in life (Choice D). The detailed explanation of the water cycle provided in the extract supports the correct answer.
