Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Hair has always been an important sign of beauty. This is especially true for women. Next to the face, hair is one of the main qualities people look for when they consider a woman's beauty. Whether long or short, curly or straight, hair often gets a lot of attention. Each hair on a person's head grows from a single tube-like hole in the skin called a follicle. People are born with all of the hair follicles they are ever going to have. The average person has about one hundred thousand hair follicles. _ begin to form around the third month of pregnancy. Each hair grows independently of other hairs. There are three periods of hair growth. Not all hairs experience the same period of growth at the same time. The period of active growth is called Anagen. During this period, hair grows at a rate of about three tenths millimeters a day, or one centimeter a month. About 85 percent of hair follicles are going through this process at any given time. This period can last from two to six years. The Catagen period of hair growth comes next. It is then that hair growth begins to slow down. This period usually lasts two or three weeks. Finally, hair growth comes to a complete stop and the hairs begin to fall out. This period is known as Telogen. It affects about 15 percent of all hairs at a time.

Once the Telogen period has ended, the hair growth process begins again. Question: Which of the following shows the process of hair growth? Answer:

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Hoffman,40,a former senior vice president of a financial company,had what she describes as "one of those extreme jobs." "I loved working," she says. But her career path reached a crossroad when her second child was born,and she left her job in February 2007. Hoffman is one of many people who have left the work force to take a break,but she has a position as a consultant.She has described this type of career detour ----- which is more common for women than for men--as "off- ramping." Typically it occurs when the balancing act of parenting and work becomes too tough. A study by the center found that more than 90 percent of women who off-ramp want to on-ramp back into the work force eventually.But making the transition back to work is rarely easy,and it is even harder in this economic climate of layoffs and hiring freezes. Considering some of the obstacles faced by on- rampers , a three-day program called "Greater Returns:Restarting Your Career" was held at Columbia University. The goal of the three days was to have them walk away with a big shot of confidence. According to one school of thought, women looking to make a comeback might even have an advantage in the current economy,especially if they are looking for part-time or consultant positions that do not offer benefits. And a majority of on-rampers are women with extensive working experiences that could give them a slight advantage over less-experienced competition. "You absolutely cannot be defensive about why you off-ramped," Ms Hoffman says, " defensive" would have put her into a hard situation if the Greater Returns program had had not taught her how to describe the years she spent at home."I now feel confident talking to an employer and saying,' Yes,I have been out of the work force,but here is where I can make significant contributions.'" Question: According to the passage,Greater Returns _ . Answer:
****
A:
will build up the confidence of those in search of jobs
