Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country. On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air. The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death. Question: In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may contribute to _ . Options: A: heart disease B: loss of clear vision C: lung diseases D: serious headache

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A man claiming to be a pastor apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God allowed him not to leave one. A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip. "I give God 10%," the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. "Why do you get 18?" He then wrote "Pastor" above his signature, and an emphatic "0" where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.) The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added. "Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they'd like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It's in the computer; it's not something I do." The server added: "They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn't want to pay when the time came." Scribbling notes on receipts has become something of a trend. Earlier this month, the manager of a North Carolina Red Robin surprised an overdue pregnant woman by comping her meal. "Once seated, a manager came up to us and started talking," the woman's husband told Consumerist. "He was extremely friendly and jokingly asked my wife if this was her last meal before heading to the hospital." When the check came, a note from the manager next to her portion of the bill read: "MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC." "It was a pleasant surprise and made my tired-of-being-pregnant wife a little more cheery," the man said. Question: What do you learn from the article? Options: A: The pastor paid ten percent gratuity of the meal to God. B: A party of six diners can choose whatever gratuity they want to pay. C: According to the husband, the wife enjoyed the process of being pregnant. D: The pastor paid $34.93 in total for the meal.
Ans: B

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice. Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust. Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did. One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened. Question: The inspector waved his arms _ . Options: A: to try his best to keep steady B: to show his satisfaction with the floor C: to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's mother D: to express his intention to continue the inspection
Ans:
A
