15. If you’re a fitness walker, there is no need for a commute to a health club. Your neighborhood can be your health club. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to get a good workout either. All you need is a well-designed pair of athletic shoes.

This paragraph best supports the statement that

• fitness walking is a better form of exercise than weight lifting.
• a membership in a health club is a poor investment.
• walking outdoors provides a better workout than walking indoors.
• fitness walking is a convenient and valuable form of exercise.
• poorly designed athletic shoes can cause major foot injuries.

16. It is well known that the world urgently needs adequate distribution of food, so that everyone gets enough. Adequate distribution of medicine is just as urgent.

• the majority of the people in the world have never been seen by a doctor.
• food production in emerging nations has slowed during the past several years.
• most of the world’s doctors are selfish about giving time and money to the poor.

• learn to forgive their offenders.
• have the right to confront their offenders.
• learn the art of mediation.
• insist that their offenders be punished.
• have the right to impose a sentence on their offenders.

This paragraph best supports the statement that

• low-fat ice cream produces more revenue than other low-fat foods.
• ice cream store owners would be better off carrying only low-fat ice cream.
• ice cream store owners no longer think that low-fat ice cream is an unpopular item.
• low-fat ice cream is more popular than other kinds of ice cream.
• consumers are fickle and it is impossible to please them.

19. A few states in this country are considering legislation that would prohibit schools from using calculators before the sixth grade. Other states take a different position. Some states are insisting on the purchase of graphing calculators for every student in middle school.

• calculators are frequently a detriment to learning math.
• state legislators are more involved in education than ever before.
• the price of graphing calculators is less when schools buy in bulk.
• the argument against calculators in schools is unfounded.

 20.One of the warmest winters on record has put consumers in the mood to spend money. Spending is likely to be the strongest in thirteen years. During the month of February, sales of existing single-family homes hit an annual record rate of 4.75 million.
