A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. But before I could be inspired by these amazing people, I had to cleanse my feed. I know my weaknesses: just last week, Facebook memoriesreminded me of a pizza party I'd had two years ago and I ended up ordering a chicken dominator, with garlic breadsticks and an jalapeno cheesedip. So much for Day One of Couch to 5K training. I stayed right on that couch. So far I've unfollowed Buzzfeed Tasty, TasteMade (even their adorable Tiny Kitchen) and several people who have the enviable advantage of being able to eat as much as they want and not put on weight. Bymy calculations, dark chocolate is healthy, so I'm still following Earth Loaf, Pascati and Mason & Co.. When I finally found a gym I liked, with the best trainers I have had, I unabashedly shared my workouts every day. From shying away from fulllength pictures, I reached a point where I could share videos of myself deadlifting and doing back squats with a barbell across my shoulders. Itgave me accountability: I challenged myself to go to the gym for 30 classes straight, and I did it. Which reminds me, it's time to start a new challenge.Which of the following is a page related to chocolate?1). Earth Loaf2). Buzzfeed Tasty3). TasteMade4). Tiny Kitchen |

|
Answer» Only option 4 is correct and relevant to the context of the passage.

In Turkey, 58 percent. Even among Israelis, 63 percent rank Obama as the “worst” president in the last 30 years in relation to their country, despite the fact that there are no Arab ARMIES today that are able to pose a serious threat to Israel. Perhaps most frustrating is a State Department poll that shows that about 40 percent of Iraqis believe the U.S. is “working to destabilize Iraq and control its natural resources and nearly a third believe that AMERICA supports terrorism in general or IS specifically.” Some Iraqis even believe that they were better off under Saddam Hussein.'
