Passage: "The letter closed: 'I remain, as ever, your obedient servant.' Such formulas were standard in nineteenth-century correspondence and carried no literal meaning." What is the author explaining?
- a.That the letter writer was employed as a servant
- b.That the writer disliked the letter's recipient
- c.That nineteenth-century letters were rarely delivered
- d.That a polite convention should not be read literally✓

Passage: "The first paragraph defines the disorder. The second lists its symptoms. The third explains the standard treatment." What organizational pattern does this article follow?
- a.A sequence of events in the order they happened
- b.A comparison of two different disorders
- c.A general topic developed in logical stages✓
- d.An argument followed by opposing rebuttals

- c.Move all bathrooms further from patient rooms
- d.Assist patients with trips to the bathroom✓
The passage locates nearly all falls in unassisted bathroom trips, so providing assistance targets the stated cause. Shorter bed rest, more distant bathrooms, and fluid restriction either ignore the cause or would make the situation worse.
