Questions 184-187 refer to the following article.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are produced any time an electric current runs through a wire or an appliance. Wherever you find electricity you will find EMFs. In today's electrical environment, EMFs are everywhere. Atlantic Gas & Electric has detected them near power generators, around radio and transmission stations, under power lines, and near electrical outlets, lights, office equipment and computer terminals.
The idea that electromagnetic fields could be dangerous to your health is not entirely new. Soviet scientists began reporting on them as early as 1972 when they noticed that switchyard workers who were regularly exposed to high levels of electromagnetic fields near the Omsk Power Station experienced strange health effects. There were increased levels of heart disease, nervous disorders, and blood pressure changes, as well as recurring headaches, fatigue, stress and chronic depression.
Today, power companies cannot avoid the EMF issue. Medical evidence has brought it to the fore. Concerned citizens have effectively organized themselves to attract the attention of the media, their public officials and, in one instance, the management of the Oakville Power Authority. Their goal is to identify the EMF problem clearly, target their objectives carefully, then make their demands known to the Public Utilities Commission. If enough reports reach the Commission, it will become clear that these are not isolated instances. Citizens must demand that utility companies prove there is a strong need to put up more power lines in residential neighborhoods.

184. Why is there concern over EMFs?

185. How should a person handle an EMF problem?

C. Have their blood pressure checked
D. Turn off any computer equipment in the area
186. To whom should concerned citizens report their findings?
A. Atlantic Gas & Electric

C. The Omsk Power Station
D. The Oakville Power Authority

Questions 191-193 refer to the following letter.
Dear George,
I would like to pass on to you the results of the research I have done in determining a location for another outlet for our men's clothing store.
I am considering an enclosed mall as opposed to a downtown single address location, an outdoor strip mall, or a hotel complex. I have found that the foot traffic at the enclosed mall is 55% more than the downtown location, 35% more than the strip mall, and 75% more than the hotel.
Additionally, the rent at the enclosed mall is only 30% higher than that of the strip mall and the downtown location, and it is the same as the hotel rent. The lease at both malls is five years, whereas the downtown location is four and the hotel three.
All things considered, I think we're better off with the enclosed mall. Please drop me a line or an E-mail and let me know your thoughts on the matter.
Sincerely,
Jenny Lane
