write the book. Finally, the proposal should show that the author has the background necessary to write the book.

Off-site disposal of regulated medical wastes remains a viable option for smaller hospitals (those with less than 150 beds). However, some preliminary on-site processing, such as compaction or hydropulping, may be necessary prior to sending the wastes off-site. Compaction reduces the total volume of solid wastes, often reducing transportation and disposal costs, but does not change the hazardous characteristics of the waste. However, compaction may not be economical if transportation and disposal costs are based on weight rather than volume. Hydropulping involves grinding the waste in the presence of an oxidizing fluid, such as hypochlorite solution. One advantage of hydropulping is that waste can be rendered innocuous and reduced in size within the same system. Disadvantages are the added operating burden, difficulty of controlling fugitive emission, and the difficulty of conducting microbiological tests to determine whether all organic matters and infectious organisms from the waste have been destroyed. On-site disposal is a feasible alternative for hospitals generating two tons per day or more total of solid waste. Common treatment techniques include steam sterilization and incineration. Although other options are available, incineration is currently the preferred method for on-site treatment of hospital waste. A properly designed, maintained, and operated incinerator achieves a relatively
high level of organism destruction.
Incineration reduces the weight and volume of the waste as much as 95 percent and is especially appropriate for pathological wastes.
On the basis of above passage please answer the following question
One disadvantage of the compaction method of waste disposal is that it
A. cannot reduce transportation costs.
B. reduces the volume of solid waste material.
C. does not allow hospitals to confirm that organic matter has been eliminated.
D. does not reduce the weight of solid waste material.
E. cannot be done on-site.
Cuttlefish are intriguing little animals. The cuttlefish resembles a rather large squid and is, like the octopus, a member of the order of cephalopods. Although they are not considered the most highly evolved of the cephalopods, they are
extremely intelligent. While observing them, it is hard to tell who is doing the observing, you or the cuttlefish, especially since the eye of the cuttlefish is very similar in structure to the human eye. Cuttlefish are also highly mobile and fast
creatures.
They come equipped with a small jet located just below the tentacles that can expel water to help them move. Ribbons of flexible fin on each side of the body allow cuttlefish to hover, move, stop, and start.
______________________________ ____________________. The cuttlefish is sometimes referred to as the
"chameleon of the sea" because it can change its skin color and pattern instantaneously. Masters of camouflage, they can blend into any environment for protection, but they are also capable of the most imaginative displays of iridescent,
brilliant color and intricate designs, which scientists believe they use to communicate with each other and for mating displays. However, judging from the riot of ornaments and hues cuttlefish produce, it is hard not to believe they paint
themselves so beautifully just for the sheer joy of it. At the very least, cuttlefish conversation must be the most sparkling in all the sea.
On the basis of above passage please answer the following question
Which of the following best outlines the main topics addressed in the passage?
A. I. of why cuttlefish are intriguing II. Communication skills of cuttlefish
B. I. Classification and difficulties of observing cuttlefish II. Scientific explanation of modes of cuttlefish communication
C. I. of the cuttlefish's method of locomotion II. Description of color displays in mating behavior
D. I. Comparison of cuttlefish with other cephalopods II. Usefulness of the cuttlefish's ability to change color
E. I. General classification and characteristics of cuttlefish II. Uses and beauty of the cuttlefish's ability to change color

On the basis of above passage please answer the following question
Which of the following sentences, if inserted into the blank line, would best sum up the first paragraph and lead into the next?
A. The cuttlefish can be cooked and eaten like its less tender relatives, the squid and octopus, but must still be tenderized before cooking in order not to be exceedingly chewy.
B. On a scuba dive when you’re observing cuttlefish, it is best to move slowly because cuttlefish have excellent eyesight and will probably see you first.
C. Cuttlefish do not have an exoskeleton; instead, their skin is covered with chromataphors.
D. The cuttlefish has ten arms, two of which are specialized feeders and its mouth is beak-like; this enables it to capture crustaceans with its powerful arms and crack shells with its strong mouth.
E. By far their most intriguing characteristic is their ability to change their body color and pattern.
