Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80.

Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-
quality protein, eggs also
contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg yolk, in fac
t, contains
a little more than two-
thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to
plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating
regular eggs. One alternat
ive 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 lower cholesterol rates, and they
can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage,
however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching,
or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These
eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as c
anola 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 eating 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

C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.
Question 79:
According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs
EXCEPT?
A. boiled B. poached C. scrambled D. fried
Question 80: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake
