Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

Alzheimer’s disease impairs a person’s ability to recall memories, both distant and as
a few hours before. Although there is no yet a cure for the illness, there may be hope
for a cure with a protein called nerve growth factor. The protein is produced by nerve
cells in the same region of the brain where Alzheimer’s occurs. Based on this
relationship, scientists from the University of Lund in Sweden and the University of
California at San Diego designed an experiment to test whether doses of nerve growth
factor could reverse the effects of memories loss caused by Alzheimer’s. Using a
group of rats with impaired memory, the scientists gave half of the rats doses of nerve
growth factor while giving the other half a blood protein as a placebo, thus creating a
control group. At the end of the four-week test, the rats given the nerve growth factor
performed equally to rats with normal memory abilities. While the experiments do not
show that nerve growth factor can stop the general process of deterioration caused by
Alzheimer’s, they do show potential as a means to slowing the process significantly.
