Question:

Read the following passage and answer the question.

Are you always feeling tired? You're not alone. As of a matter of fact, over 40 million Americans experience sleep deprivation on a regular basis. You need an energy boost and a good detox can provide it.

A detox cuts out all unnatural and unhealthy substances like caffeine and sugar. This allows your body to remove toxins that drag you down throughout the day.

The body's organs can function at full capacity when you are not inundating them with chemicals. This alone boosts your metabolism and causes your body to work harder on your daily task and reduces its need to waste energy on bodily functions.

Everyone knows that a messy home is an unhealthy home. You always rid your kitchen of trash and provide a clean environment for your family to live in; however, many people neglect their own bodies when it comes to waste management. A detox can help internal body waste removal.

The colon is one of the most important organs in your body and its job is to help your body remove waste. Eating processed food over the years causes your colon to back up and become filled with waste. This back-up releases waste toxins and nasty bacteria into your body. With a detox you flush out your colon, allowing it to catch up and work properly.

Your liver is with you every time you need to burn fat and clean up the body. It's like a living sponge and soaks up all the toxins. By drinking plenty of water with your detox, you can remove a lot of fatty cells in your liver.

A messy home is an unhealthy home. The word 'home' means _________.

Options:

our kitchen

our body

our family

our luggage

Correct Answer:

our body

Explanation:

The correct answer to what "home" means in the context of the passage is: our body.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

  • our kitchen: While the passage uses the analogy of a messy kitchen, "home" refers to a broader concept.
  • our family: The family is mentioned as living in the home, not being synonymous with the home itself.
  • our luggage: Luggage is not mentioned in the passage, and it wouldn't fit the analogy of internal waste removal.

The passage explicitly compares neglecting internal waste removal with neglecting a messy home, implying that our body can also be considered a "home" for our organs and internal processes. It mentions how we keep our kitchen clean for our family (who lives in the home), and similarly, a detox helps clean our internal "home" for optimal health.

Therefore, based on the analogy and the context, "our body" is the most accurate interpretation of "home" in this passage.
