How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage?A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
Which of the following examples is the use of the skill “organization”?A.Remembering the word “sad ”by putting it into the group of “feeling ”B.Remembering the meaning of the word “red” by connecting it with fireC.Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning.D.Remembering the post number 0708591 by diving it into 070 and 8571
