Question 7 of 9

What is the meaning of the word satiety as used in the last paragraph about The Sleep Workout?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Satiety refers to a state of being satisfied, particularly in terms of appetite. In the context of the excerpt provided, it explains that individuals who lack adequate sleep may experience lowered levels of leptin, a hormone that controls appetite. As a result, even after meeting their caloric needs, they may still crave carbohydrates, indicating a lack of satisfaction or satiety. This can lead to obesity and disrupt healthy eating habits. Therefore, choice B, 'A state of being satisfied,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of satiety in the context of appetite regulation and sleep's impact on food cravings.

Question 8 of 9

Identify the overall tone of the essay

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

Question 9 of 9

What is the main idea of the passage about Sickle-Cell Anemia?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The passage focuses on describing sickle-cell anemia as a painful and inherited disease. It details how the abnormal sickle-shaped cells cause symptoms like bone pain, fever, and fatigue. While bone pain is mentioned as a symptom, it is not the main idea of the passage. Choice A is incorrect. Choice B, which mentions oxygen transport, is not the main idea but a general concept. Choice C, stating genetically inherited diseases affect thousands, is too broad and does not focus on the specifics of sickle-cell anemia. Therefore, D is the most precise choice.
