Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Sequoyah was born in the 1770s and grew up in the Cherokee village of Tuskegee, Tennessee. He was good at working with silver jewelry . One day Sequoyah was asked to put his name on the jewelry he made. However, he couldn't write his name because Cherokee was only a spoken language. Sequoyah decided to learn how to write his name, so he asked one of his customers to teach him. From then on, Sequoyah signed his work in English. Then Sequoyah realized that a written language was necessary for his people. In 1809, he started by making small drawings, and tried creating a letter for each sound in the Cherokee language. First, Sequoyah picked out all the sounds in the Cherokee language. Then he gave each sound a symbol. Unlike English, however, no two sounds shared the same symbol. Sequoyah's work was difficult and took a lot of time. What's worse, few people around him understood him. However, Sequoyah didn't stop working. In 1821, Sequoyah completed his alphabet . Each symbol in the alphabet symbolized one of the eight-five sounds in the Cherokee language. By saying the name of each symbol, a person could read the spoken word. Sequoyah taught his six-year-old daughter, Ayoka, the symbols. One day they visited the elders of the Cherokee Nation. Sequoyah asked Ayoka to leave while he wrote down what the elders said. When Akoya returned, she read out what Sequoyah had written. The elders were stunned because she was able to repeat the words without being present. Sequoyah's alphabet was soon accepted as the written language of the Cherokee Nation. Question: What would be the best title for the passage? Options: A: The Cherokee Nation B: A Popular Language C: A Gift beyond Price D: Fine Silver Jewelry
Ans: C

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: We know that sugary sodas aren't good for our bodies. Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse. Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries-- as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isn't limited to the United States. "Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well," study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement. The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had. Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch , had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn't drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isn't the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener _ may be to blame. The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results "are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes." But there's a bright side for those who can't live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn't drink any coffee, according to the study. "Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk," said Chen. Question: It is implied in the passage that _ . Options: A: more research is needed to confirm the new findings B: the new findings aren't consistent with any previous findings C: cutting one's sodas intake will surely reduce one's depression D: the new findings won't have an impact on people's drinking habits
Ans:
A
