READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND COMPLETE THE SENTENCES THAT FOLLOW A, B, C OR D AS THE CORRECT ANSWERS

QUESTIONS 1 – 10: Read the following passage carefully and complete the sentences that follow A, B, C or D as

the correct answers.

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as important to me as

emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that

you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear either reflects your current state

of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need.

The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of course they also affect

anyone who comes in contact with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day! I even choose items

around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion I need for the day.

So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.

Color, sound and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move and

flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is

exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings.

Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions.
