It can be inferred from the authors description of the woman eating in paragraph four that (D) The author is disgusted by the womans consumption. Why? A is incorrect because we have no idea where the woman likes to eat. Nothing in the text makes reference to her preferences. B is incorrect because we can infer that the woman isnt even aware of what shes eating, so she doesnt truly have the capacity to enjoy it. C is incorrect because her efficiency is detracting from her dining experience rather than enhancing it. The author never brings up anything about eating healthfully in those lines, either, so E is also out. We can infer that hes disgusted by her consumption because of his judgment he places on her: Had she known someone was watching her, Im sure she would have eaten differently. This implies that she would have been ashamed to eat as she had, thus showing the authors distaste for her eating habits. 2. According to the passage, the main reason people overeat is (B) because we dont have to chew our food very much Why? A, B and C are mentioned in the passage, but not as a causal effect of our overeating. E is a distractor answer- eating quickly is tied into not chewing, but the passage does not imply or state that we are used to eating quickly, so we overeat. The passage gives specific details about the refining process that makes our food easier to swallow, allowing us to eat more than we should, thus answer B is the very best choice. 3. The following are all ingredients in the egg rolls, EXCEPT (E) dark meat chicken Why? Its white meat chicken (line 32). This is one of those hunt and search type of detail questions. They can be tricky because they have almost nothing to do with reading comprehension, but rather focus on how carefully you can find the details related to the passage.   4. Which of the following statements best describes the main idea of the passage? (B) Because refined food is irresistible and easy to eat, it masks how unhealthy it is, leaving people unaware of the poor food choices theyre making. Why? A is too broad, because it fails to mention refined food, which is absolutely key in the article. C is too narrow because it only mentions Chilis, and the essay goes beyond just one restaurant. D makes a supposition- that people will be healthier because of the article. Thats never stated or indirectly implied, so it cant be part of the main idea. E is too narrow, so B is the best choice.   5. In the first sentence of paragraph four, the word vigor most nearly means (D) Energy Why? Heres where your vocabulary knowledge or your ability to understand vocab words in context come in handy. If you didnt know the meaning of the word, you could assume some things based on the text: †¦the woman attacked her food with vigor and speed. Since the conjunction and joins two words/phrases with similar meaning, C is out- lethargy means laziness. The word attacked does not coincide well with pleasure, so A is out. Since the woman was unaware of who was watching her, flamboyance, B, is out, too. That leaves D and E. Craftiness indicates sneakiness of some sort and although the woman wasnt being showy, she wasnt sneaking her food either, so D is the best answer. It fits well with the sentence.
