Dear Mr.Abdel-Hady,

This Passage (No. 66) was the topic of a discussion between me and one of my colleagues. He asked my opinion about it and we both chose Answer C, just like you, but we wondered why it was answered differently on Page 275. We took the answer for granted and discussed why it was A. To cut a long story short, I looked up "in fact" in the dictionary I was shocked to find a new meaning for it and this explained why the writer gave ANSWER A as a correct answer:

In fact means:

a) used when you are adding something, especially something surprising, to emphasize what you have just said
e.g. I know the mayor really well. In fact, I had dinner with her last week.
b) used to emphasize that the truth about a situation is the opposite of what has been mentioned
e.g. They told me it would be cheap but in fact it cost me nearly $500.
e.g. Her teachers said she was a slow learner, whereas in actual fact she was partially deaf.

But there are many paragraphs in this section using the first meaning of "in fact" such as: Passages No.: 52, 55, 56, 85.

Students should also answer the following Passages because they are not as easy as they seem to be: Passages No.: 10, 13, 30, 43, 65, 67, 92, 97.

Students must follow the line of thought or idea in the passage. The Correct choice goes in the same course. Students can easily omit two choices that can NEVER be correct (either because they are not correct at all, not logic, not related to the topic or simply not mentioned in the passage). After that they follow the choice which supports the main line of thought in the passage.

Concerning Passage No 66: I think Choice A is the correct one (as the author says) as eating lots of healthy food is not something good. Choice C is wrong as it talks about having unhealthy eating habits not unhealthy food

Mr. H0riz0n
Thanks for clarification ,
Now , I agree with you
It's a - not c
The writer wanted to give the - opposite idea after :IN FACT
And no: c is not on line with the focus of the passge
I appreciate your kind help
A BIG PART OF MY TRAINING-WORK HAD BEEN BASED ON INNOVATION , CRITICAL THINKING , AND IMPROVING OTHERS' WORK - Sometimes I'm quick to say that someone is mistake -
I promise to be more carefu lin the future .
