📖 READING (45 questions)
,Question 1 (Main Idea)
Read the passage:
*"The glycemic index (GI) ranks carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to
100 based on how quickly they raise blood sugar levels. Foods with
a high GI (70 or above) cause rapid spikes, while low-GI foods (55
or below) produce gradual increases. White bread has a GI of 75,
while lentils have a GI of 28."*
What is the main idea of this passage?
A. White bread is unhealthy and should be avoided.
B. The glycemic index measures how fast carbohydrates affect
blood sugar.
C. Lentils are the lowest-GI food available.
D. All carbohydrates are bad for blood sugar.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The passage defines GI as a measure of how quickly
carbs raise blood sugar and gives examples. A is a judgment not
stated, C is too specific (not "the lowest"), D is false and not
supported.
Question 2 (Multiple Select)
Which of the following are examples of primary sources? (Select all
that apply.)
A. A diary written by a nurse during the 1918 flu pandemic
B. A textbook chapter about the history of nursing
C. A research article reporting original clinical trial results
,D. A documentary film about Florence Nightingale made in 2020
E. A letter from a Civil War surgeon to his wife
Correct Answers: A, C, and E
Explanation: Primary sources are firsthand, original records. A
(diary), C (original research), and E (letter) are primary. B (textbook)
and D (documentary) are secondary sources that interpret or
summarize.
Question 3 (Inference)
*"After three consecutive days of heavy rainfall, the city’s
emergency department saw a 40% increase in patients reporting
fall-related injuries. Most occurred on tile and marble floors in
public buildings."*
What can be reasonably inferred?
A. The rain caused flooding that damaged hospitals.
B. Wet indoor floors from tracked-in rain likely contributed to falls.
C. Patients avoided going outdoors during the rain.
D. The emergency department was understaffed.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The increase in falls on indoor smooth floors suggests
people tracked in rainwater, making floors slippery. A, C, and D are
not supported by the text.
, Question 4 (Multiple Select – Author’s Purpose)
A passage begins: "Mandatory overtime for nurses has been linked
to a 23% increase in medication errors. This policy endangers both
patients and healthcare workers."
Which of the following describe the author’s likely purpose? (Select
all that apply.)
A. To persuade readers that mandatory overtime is harmful
B. To present statistical evidence about medication errors
C. To entertain nurses with a fictional story
D. To inform about a correlation between overtime and errors
E. To criticize hospital administrators indirectly
Correct Answers: A, B, and D
Explanation: The author uses a statistic to inform (D) and persuade
(A) against mandatory overtime. Stating that it "endangers"
patients is persuasive. C is false (not entertainment), and E is
possible but less direct than A.

1. ____ Check for responsiveness
