Question 1
Which is the best summary of this passage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct summary of the passage is that blood pressure is the force exerted by blood on arterial walls, measured as a ratio of systolic pressure over diastolic pressure. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the passage, including the definition of blood pressure, its measurement, and the role of systolic and diastolic pressures. The other options either focus on specific details or do not encompass the main concept of blood pressure as explained in the passage.

Question 2
Which of the following best summarizes the passage about blood pressure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The passage discusses blood pressure, explaining that it is the force blood exerts on arterial walls, measured as a ratio of systolic pressure (high peak) over diastolic pressure (low peak). It highlights how the heart pumps blood, the role of age and disease in affecting arterial pressure, and the importance of elasticity in arterial walls. Choice D best summarizes these key points, making it the correct answer.

Choice D best summarizes these key points, making it the correct answer.
Question 3
What is the meaning of the word elasticity in the last paragraph?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The term 'elasticity' in the last paragraph refers to the ability of a material or structure to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. In the context of blood pressure, elasticity refers to the property of arterial walls to stretch and recoil with each heartbeat, allowing them to withstand the pressure changes caused by blood flow. Option A, 'Something that is able to resist and be flexible,' accurately describes the concept of elasticity in this context, making it the correct answer.

Question 4
Which of the following is not a fact stated in the passage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The passage discusses that an increase in blood pressure can be due to the loss of arterial wall elasticity, which can occur with age or disease. However, it does not state that the loss of arterial wall elasticity is always caused by disease. Therefore, choice D is not a fact mentioned in the passage, making it the correct answer.

Question 5
Which of the following is not a fact stated in the passage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. The passage does not state that loss of arterial wall elasticity is always caused by disease. It mentions that an increase in blood pressure can occur if the arterial walls lose some elasticity with age or disease, implying that the loss of elasticity can also be age-related. The other statements are all directly supported by the passage: A discusses the volume of blood injected by ventricular contraction, B explains where blood pressure is typically measured, and C describes how blood pressure is commonly expressed as a ratio of systolic over diastolic pressure.
