  1. Craft and structure1 of 2

    In a health article, the author writes: 'Vaccines are one of the greatest achievements in public health, having eradicated smallpox and nearly eliminated polio.' The phrase 'one of the greatest achievements' signals that the author:

    The answer

    Answer: B. Calling vaccines 'one of the greatest achievements' ranks them against other accomplishments, which is a value judgment, so the author is giving a subjective evaluation. The claim is widely accepted rather than a controversial hypothesis. No quotation marks or attribution suggest the words come from a textbook. Although smallpox eradication is factual, the ranking phrase itself carries judgment, so it is not a neutral statement of fact.

    A medical newsletter states: 'The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes has surged among younger populations, a phenomenon previously considered rare.' In this sentence, 'phenomenon' most nearly means:

    The answer

    Answer: B. The sentence says the surge was 'previously considered rare,' so 'phenomenon' here means an unusual or remarkable occurrence. Type 2 diabetes is not contagious, so an outbreak meaning does not fit. A diagnosis is a label given to one patient, not a trend across a population. Nothing in the sentence refers to treatment, so 'treatment protocol' has no support from context.
