Rationale: Although this passage is partly informative, that is not a choice here. The author does present the opinion that everyone should try yoga, making this a persuasive essay

Rationale: The author's attitude toward yoga seems to be positive and sincere. Earnest (choice A) would be a good description of this tone.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The passage does not suggest that super foods are more expensive than processed foods.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The best summary of the passage is choice B. The passage discusses concerns about the impact of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) on health, particularly its link to obesity. It mentions a recent study on rats that confirms suspicions about HFCS contributing to unhealthful weight gains. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they introduce recommendations or implications not explicitly mentioned in the passage. Choice A goes beyond the information by stating that scientists recommend removing HFCS from grocery products, choice C suggests that using HFCS is preferable until more research is done, and choice D implies immediate healthful results on overweight patients by avoiding HFCS, as suggested by the AMA, which is not supported by the passage.
