We are faced with an apparent paradox: how can a hormone that does not act directly on the brain have such a (5)large effect on brain function?Recently, we tested the possibility that one of the hormones actions outside the brain might be responsible. Since one consequence of adrenaline release in an animal is an increase in blood glucose levels, we examined the (10)effects of glucose on memory in rats. We found that glucose injected immediately after training enhances memory tested the next day. Additional evidence was provided by negative findings: drugs called adrenergic antagonists, which block peripheral adrenaline receptors, disrupted (15)adrenalines ability to regulate memory but did not affect memory enhancements produced by glucose that was not stimulated by adrenaline. These results are as they should be if adrenaline affects memory modulation by increasing blood glucose levels.17.The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) reconcile two opposing theories (B) compare two different explanations for a phenomenon (C) describe experimental research that appears to support an unpopular theory (D) present evidence that may help to resolve an apparent contradiction(E) describe a hypothesis that has cause a controversy18.It can be inferred from the passage that the author would most likely describe the additional evidence (line 12) provided by experiments with adrenergic antagonists as (A) revolutionary (B) disappointing (C) incomplete (D) unexpected (E) corroborative 19.The passage provides info
