    The answer is cholesterol check because the schedule says people over 45 should have a cardiovascular risk check and a cholesterol check every two years.

26. 26. permission

27. 27. diving course

    The answer is diving course because you need a valid SCUBA Diving Medical Certificate before doing a diving course.

28. 28. C

    C is correct because the passage says most people travel around the outside perimeter, dipping in and out of aisles as needed. A is tempting, but anti-clockwise is only for right-hand side entries, not all shoppers.

    Not given, because the passage does not directly state that people spend more than they intended in supermarkets.

37. 37. NOT GIVEN

    Not given, because the passage does not mention whether shopping less frequently saves money.

38. 38. FALSE
