LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE BELOW. ESPECIALLY NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF QUESTIONS. EXAMPLE:


        One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is

   alcohol. Because alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes

   quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus is particularly

   vulnerable to its effects. In fact, the negative effects on a fetus are so

5  pronounced that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said to be

   suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome.

        As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her

   her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because the 

   bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother,

10 the alcohol passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus as well.    

   And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly  

   the same as in the mother.

       For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver

   can remove one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour. However,

15 the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how developed it is 

   depends on its stage of development).  The rate at which it is able 

   to eliminate the alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. 

   Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother's system by 

   passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time 

20 this takes place, major neurological damage may have already 

   occurred. Research has shown that as little as one drink of 

   alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage to the fetus. 

        Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial 

   distortion, inability to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. 

25 Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women avoid alcohol.
