Sample Question
Tomatoes & Lycopene You may have heard that tomatoes and processed tomato products like tomato sauce and canned tomatoes protect against some types of cancer. The cancer-preventing properties of tomato products have been attributed to lycopene. It is a bright red pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and is the cause of their red color. Unlike other fruits and vegetables, where nutritional content such as vitamin C is diminished upon cooking, processing of tomatoes increases the concentration of lycopene. Lycopene in tomato paste is four times more than in fresh tomatoes. This is because lycopene is insoluble in water and is tightly bound to vegetable fiber. Thus, processed tomato products such as pasteurized tomato juice, so up, sauce, and ketchup contain the highest concentrations of lycopene. Cooking and crushing tomatoes as in the canning process and serving in oil-rich dishes such as spaghetti sauce or pizza greatly increase assimilation from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, so the oil is said to help absorption to a great extent. QUESTION: According to the passage, it is true that lycopene ----.

can only be found in processed tomato products

loses its cancer-preventing property when the tomato is processe

lowers the risk of having cancer only when it is consumed together with vitami

is absorbed by the body more easily when accompanied by the oil

is a pigment which is solved quickly in water

Sample Question
The Caribbean sun looked brilliant in the perfect light-blue sky. The wind blew softly as the waves lapped at the shore. The soft sand was just the right temperature as it slipped through my toes. As I lay on my blanket, I exhaled and turned another page. Today couldn’t be any more perfect. In fact, everything with this trip had gone so well. I had never been out of the country before, much less on a plane. However, I got my passport without any hitches, and I didn’t get motion sickness on the flight. The resort limo was at the airport waiting to whisk me away. Lying here on a tropical beach with a glass of ice-cold water in one hand and my favorite novel in the other is my idea of a getaway. Just then, a seagull swooped down and disturbed my serenity. The bird grabbed my book right out of my hands and took off. I chased it as far as I could before the seagull dropped my beloved paperback into the deep blue sea. All I could do was sigh. I knew this day was too good to be true! Which of the following statements is best supported in this selection?

The narrator is at the movies watching a film about the beach.

The narrator is sailing on a boat with her family and friends.

The narrator is in the Caribbean for her first trip out of the country.

The narrator is at a beach to watch birds and catch up on reading.
