III. Read the following passage and circle the letter next to the best answer for each question below it. (2.0 pts)
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One type of egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that there is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'low-fat' eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.

Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.

1. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
B. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs.

A. minerals B. cholesterol C. vitamins D. canola oil

3. Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat' in the passage?
A. indefinitely B. in fact C. a little D. a lot

4. According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. dietary changes in hens B. decreased production
C. increasing price D. concerns about cholesterol.

5. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 1/3 B. 1/2 C. 2/3 D. 3/4

6. The word 'portrayed' in the passage could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. described B. studied C. destroyed D. tested
