A government report addressing concerns about the many implications of prenatal and newborn genetic testing outlined policy guidelines and legislative recommendations intended to avoid involuntary and ineffective testing and to protect confidentiality. The report recommended that all such screening be voluntary.
Citing results of two different voluntary newborn screening programs, the report said these programs can achieve compliance rates equal to or better than those of mandatory programs. State health departments might be wise to eventually mandate the offering of tests for diagnosing treatable conditions in newborns; however, careful pilot studies for conditions diagnosable at birth need to be done first. Although the report asserted that it would prefer that all screening be voluntary, it did note that if a state elects to mandate newborn screening for a particular condition, the state should do so only if there is strong evidence that a newborn would benefit from effective treatment at the earliest possible age. Newborn screening is the most common type of genetic screening today. More than four million newborns are tested annually so that effective treatment can be started in a few hundred infants. Obtaining informed consent a process that would include educating participants, not just processing documents would enhance voluntary participation.
When offered testing, parents should receive comprehensive counseling, which should be nondirective. Relevant medical advice, however, is recommended for treatable or preventable conditions.
On the basis of above passage please answer the following question
According to the report, states should implement mandatory infant screening only

  1. if the compliance rate for voluntary screening is low.
  2. for mothers who are at high risk for genetic disease.
  3. after meticulous research is undertaken.
  4. to avoid the abuse of sensitive information.
  5. if fatal disorders are suspected.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The last sentence of the second paragraph states that careful pilot studies . . . need to be done first.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

See the third paragraph: Newborn screening is the most common type of genetic screening today.



(1) Milton Hershey was born near the small village of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, in 1857. It was a modest beginning that did not foretell his later popularity.
Milton only attended school through the fourth grade; at that point, he was apprenticed to a printer in a nearby town. Fortunately for all chocolate lovers, Milton did not excel as a printer. After a while, he left the printing business and was apprenticed to a Lancaster, Pennsylvania, candy maker. It was apparent he had found his calling in life and, at the age of eighteen, he opened his own candy store in Philadelphia. In spite of his talents as a candy maker, the shop failed after six years. (2)Milton Hersheys fans today may be surprised to learn that his first candy success came with the manufacture of caramel. After the failure of his Philadelphia store, Milton headed for Denver, where he learned the art of caramel making. There he took a job with a local manufacturer who insisted on using fresh milk in making his caramels; Milton saw that this made the caramels especially tasty. After a time in Denver, he once again attempted to open his own candy-making businesses, in Chicago, New Orleans, and New York City. Finally, in 1886, he went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he raised the money necessary to try again. This company the Lancaster Caramel Company made Miltons reputation as a master candy maker. (3) In 1893, Milton attended the Chicago International Exposition, where he saw a display of German chocolate-making implements. Captivated by the equipment, he purchased it for his Lancaster candy factory and began producing chocolate, which he used for coating his caramels. By the next year, production had grown to include cocoa, sweet chocolate, and baking chocolate. The Hershey Chocolate company was born in 1894 as a subsidiary of the Lancaster Caramel Company. Six years later, Milton sold the caramel company, but retained the rights, and the equipment, to make chocolate. He believed that a large market of chocolate consumers was waiting for someone to produce reasonably priced candy. He was right. (4)Milton Hershey returned to the village where he had been born, in the heart of dairy country, and opened his chocolate-manufacturing plant. With access to all the fresh milk he needed, he began producing the finest milk chocolate. The plant that opened in a small Pennsylvania village in 1905 is today the largest chocolate factory in the world. The confections created at this facility are favorites in the U.S. and internationally. (5) The area where the factory is located is now known as Hershey, Pennsylvania. Within the first decades of its existence, the town thrived, as did the chocolate business. A bank, a school, churches, a department store, even a park and a trolley system all appeared in short order. Soon, the town even had a zoo. Today, a visit to the area reveals the Hershey Medical Center, Milton Hershey School, and Hersheys Chocolate World, a theme park where visitors are greeted by a giant Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. All of these things and a huge number of happy chocolate lovers were made possible because a caramel maker visited the Chicago Exposition of 1893!
On the basis of above passage please answer the following question
The writers main purpose in this passage is to

  1. recount the founding of the Hershey Chocolate Company.
  2. describe the process of manufacturing chocolate.
  3. compare the popularity of chocolate to other candies.
  4. explain how apprenticeships work.
  5. persuade readers to visit Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Choice a is the best choice because it is the most complete statement of the material. Choices c and d focus on small details of the passage; choice b is not discussed in the passage. The passage is informative, not persuasive, so choice e is incorrect.

On the basis of above passage please answer the following question
As it is used in paragraph 1, the underlined phrase found his calling in life most nearly means

  1. became educated.
  2. discovered a vocation.
  3. was a talented person.
  4. called on other people to help him.
  5. had good luck.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In the context of the paragraph, this is the only possible choice. Choice a can be ruled out because there is no evidence that Hershey became educated. It is true that Hershey was a talented person (choice b), but was talented is not the same as having found something. Choice d is wrong because there is no evidence in paragraph 1 that Hershey called on anyone to help him. The passage talks about Hersheys hard work, but does not say he was lucky (choice e).
