Question 4 of 5
What is the meaning of the word 'admonition' as used in the last paragraph?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this context, 'admonition' means a caution or warning, not permission, prescription, or verdict. The excerpt mentions that along with advising the elderly to move slowly and carefully, the CDC also recommends gentle exercise or physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve balance. This advice aims to reduce the risk of falls and boost the self-esteem of older adults. Therefore, 'admonition' here refers to a precautionary counsel rather than granting permission, prescribing a treatment, or giving a verdict.
Question 5 of 5
What is the meaning of the word 'booking' as used in the first paragraph?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this context, 'booking' refers to scheduling appointments for bone density tests. The correct choice is 'A: Scheduling' because in the given text, women are booking bone density tests to ensure their bone health. 'Contracting' (Choice B) is incorrect as it does not fit the context of making appointments. 'Traveling' (Choice C) and 'Charging' (Choice D) are also irrelevant to the context of scheduling appointments for medical tests.
