Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The main idea of the passage is that getting the proper amount of uninterrupted sleep plays a major role in the development of muscle. The passage emphasizes how muscle growth occurs during rest periods following a workout, with sleep being a critical time for muscle fiber rebuilding. The connection between sleep, human growth hormone (HGH) release, and muscle development is highlighted. Choice A is incorrect because while the passage mentions the link between inadequate sleep and obesity due to altered appetite hormones, the main focus is on muscle development. Choice B is incorrect because although the passage discusses HGH release during deep sleep, the primary emphasis is on the role of uninterrupted sleep in muscle development. Choice D is incorrect because while the passage acknowledges that developing muscle growth is essential for health as we age, the key point is the significance of uninterrupted sleep in the muscle development process.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A statement of fact can be proved or checked. A statement of opinion is what someone thinks or believes. In this case, statements A, B, and D could be proved scientifically, but statement C is simply a suggestion. While it is advisable for older people to monitor their blood pressure due to the increased risk associated with aging, the statement itself is an opinion because it suggests what older people 'must' do, which is a subjective viewpoint rather than a verifiable fact. Statements A, B, and D provide factual information supported by scientific evidence, making them statements of fact rather than opinion.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage does not mention anything about vitamin and mineral deficiencies in relation to sickle-cell anemia. Choice A is incorrect as the passage specifies that sickle-cell anemia is more common among people of South American or African descent. Choice B is correct as the passage states that symptoms of sickle-cell anemia can include sudden occurrences of extreme abdominal and back pain. Choice C is correct as the passage describes that the red blood cells of sickle-cell patients are unusually shaped, forming crescent or sickle shapes. The passage does not discuss any relationship between vitamin and mineral deficiencies and sickle-cell anemia, making choice D the correct option.
