  1. Which answer is a correct paraphrase of the source text below: From "Your Brain on Movies" by Aaron Millar. In normal life our brains are like tractor beams‚ busy scanning the environment with our senses‚ and sucking up any information that seems important or interesting: a sudden loud noise‚ a car racing towards us. This is called the attentional system‚ and it literally means the part of the brain that directs what we pay attention to. But as the lights come down in the cinema‚ and the characters come alive on screen‚ we switch off our tractor beams and let the movie control our attention instead. Question 3 options: A) In normal life, our brains suck up important information using the attentional system, but when the lights come down in the cinema, we turn off our tractor beams and give up control to the movie. B) When we watch movies in a theater, we shift the control of our focus from any external stimuli to the action on the screen (Millar). C) When we watch movies in a theater, we shift the control of our focus from any external stimuli to the action on the screen. D) Normally, our brains focus on anything and everything around us. The attentional system directs our attention to certain things. Our brains are controlled by movies in a theater instead of when we watch them at home (Millar).
  2. Which of the following is not a demographic factor? a) apathy b) marital status c) religion d) race/ethnicity
