Which of the following is not listed as a detail in the passage about Concussions?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Skim the passage to identify the detail that does not appear. The sports in choice A are never mentioned, so you do not even need to look at the other choices.

Correct Answer: A

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

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The passage discusses the positive effects of sunlight, including vitamin D synthesis.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage does not mention that HFCS contains more calories than aspartame. While the passage discusses the concerns and implications of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), it does not compare its caloric content to aspartame. Detail A is supported by the passage as both HFCS and sugar share a biological structure. Detail B is also mentioned in the passage, stating that HFCS is cheaper to use than sugar. Detail C is supported by the text, which mentions that HFCS is now used to sweeten a variety of products. However, detail D is never discussed in the passage, making it the correct answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The summary accurately reflects the balanced view of the benefits and risks of sunlight.

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: C

Rationale: The passage does not mention vanilla working better than lemon for stress relief.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In this context, touted means glorified, as it refers to the promotion of aromatherapy.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Consensus in this context refers to unanimity, meaning a general agreement among people.
