correct answer to each of the questions.
There is a common expression in the English language referring to a blue moon. When people say that
something happens “only once in a blue moon,” they mean that it happens only very rarely, once in a
great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a half; there are references to this
expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth century. (5) The expression “a blue moon” has
come to refer to the second full moon occurring in any given calendar month. A second full moon is not
called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any different in hue from the first full moon of the
month. Instead, it is called a blue moon because it is so rare. The moon needs a little more than 29 days to
complete the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because every month except February has more than 29
days, every month will have at least one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless
there is a full moon at the very end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of March). It is
on the occasion when a given calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does
not happen very often, only three or four times in a decade. The blue moons of today are called blue
moons because of their rarity and not because of their color; however, the expression “blue moon” may
have come into existence in reference to unusual circumstances in which the moon actually appeared
blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon

from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which
clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have
given rise to the expression that we use today. Another example occurred more than a century later.
When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
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
refects 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 contract 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 that 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.

D. Colors are one of the most exciting.
