1. Which of the following is not mentioned as being important for seniors?

• A. Vitamin B12
• B. Calcium
• C. Nitrates
• D. Exercise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage lists important nutrients for seniors, including fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and B12, while exercise is also discussed as crucial for health. However, nitrates are not mentioned at all, making option C correct since it stands out as the only nutrient not discussed in the context of seniors’ health

2. Identify the overall tone of the essay about Aromatherapy.

• A. Congratulatory.
• B. Uncertain.
• C. Annoyed.
• D. Distressed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The tone of the essay is uncertain, as the author questions the validity of aromatherapy based on the study's results. The phrasing "does not necessarily prove that aromatherapy is worthless" indicates a hesitance to fully endorse or dismiss its value. This ambiguity throughout the passage reinforces the uncertain tone, aligning it with choice B.

3. What is the meaning of the word diminished as used in the passage about Concussions?

• A. Miniature.
• B. Reduced.
• C. Recurrent.
• D. Hollow.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, "diminished" means reduced. Substituting the other choices into the sentence does not make sense contextually, whereas "reduced" fits appropriately, confirming B as the correct answer.

4. The author seems to?

• A. Oppose drinking alcohol
• B. Favor a strict diet
• C. Oppose regulation of personal habits
• D. Advocate moderation and balance

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage does not explicitly state the author's stance on alcohol consumption or dieting. However, the description of playing Bridge emphasizes qualities like time, effort, and attention to become proficient. This suggests that the author likely favors moderation and balance in one's approach to activities, rather than extremes like excessive drinking or strict dieting. Choice A is incorrect because the author does not express opposition to drinking alcohol. Choice B is incorrect as there is no indication of the author favoring a strict diet. Choice C is incorrect as there is no direct mention of opposing regulation of personal habits in the passage.
