Leukemia is a blood disease in which white blood cells in the blood or bone marrow reproduce rapidly, interfering with the body’s ability to produce red blood cells. Red blood cells are needed to perform vital bodily functions.
According to this passage, __________________.

  1. white blood cells perform no vital function in the body
  2. no treatment for leukemia exists
  3. leukemia makes it hard for the body to produce red blood cells
  4. white blood cells are found only in the blood

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The passage doesn’t support Choices "white blood cells perform no vital function in the body" or "no treatment for leukemia exists."
The passage states that white blood cells are found in blood and bone marrow, so Choice "white blood cells are found only in the blood" is wrong.



Any discussion of distinctive military capabilities would be incomplete without looking at their relationship to the Joint Service vision of the future. JV 2020 guides all the Services into the next century with its vision of future war fighting. JV 2020 sets forth four overarching operational concepts: dominant maneuver, precision engagement, focused logistics, and full-dimensional protection. Each of these operational concepts reinforces the others. The aggregate of these four concepts, along with their interaction with information superiority and innovation, allows joint forces to dominate the full range of military operations from humanitarian assistance through peace operations to the highest intensity conflict.
According to the passage above, which of the following is not an operational concept?

  1. dominant maneuver
  2. focused logistics
  3. high intensity conflict
  4. precision engagement

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

High intensity conflict is listed as a type of military operation.
