1. according to the text, what is radiation?
a. energy given off by radioactive materials
b. energy given off by invisible atomic particles
c. energy given off by the things around us
d. energy given off by nuclear power plants
2. how does the author describe radiation in the text?
a. as something people should avoid at all costs
b. as something thats less harmful than its reputation suggests
c. as something that can be both good and bad for people
d. as something that is mostly helpful for human health and food safety
3. read these sentences from the text.
the u.s. food and drug administration (fda) also has monitored foods coming from japan to the united states. while scientists found slightly higher radiation on the west coast after the fukushima accident, amounts were way below danger levels. he fukushima event really poses no risk to people in the united states,\ says weinstock.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. Radiation is energy emitted by radioactive materials. This is the standard definition.
2. Radiation has both beneficial uses (e.g., in medicine for imaging and cancer treatment) and harmful aspects (e.g., high - dose exposure can cause health problems), so it can be both good and bad for people.
3. The text mentions that the FDA monitored foods from Japan to the US and higher radiation was found on the West Coast after the Fukushima accident, indicating that radioactive material can travel across the ocean and affect a wide area.

# Answer:
1. A. energy given off by radioactive materials
2. C. as something that can be both good and bad for people
3. B. Radioactive material can travel across the ocean, affecting a wide area after an accident.
