something to happen.
2. Choice C is the best answer because it states that cheerfulness depends on things

11. Choice B is the best answer because through the process of elimination, although being
vague, it is the best answer. Choice C and D are ruled out since they have no relation to

downsides to food processing and the first one the author states that it is misunderstood
by the public.
25. Choice A is the best answer because this part of the passage is talking about the
downside of food processing where the public generally does not understand the

profit margins and cost surpluses, it is a paragraph that solely focuses on the economic
effects of processed foods.

restates the same thing except adding that processing is mostly used to increase
palatability, shelf-life, and transportability.
