The psychoactive herb salvia has garnered a great deal of attention for its use among adolescents. Thousands of online videos have sprung up of teenagers filming their hallucinogenic experiences. Most of this footage is uninspired: it shows the subjects losing focus for approximately seven to ten minutes, followed by enthusiastic claims regarding the transformative experience they underwent. These videos serve to compound parents’ fear of neurological damage with the more real horrors of compromised personal privacy, documentation of potentially illegal activities, and a seemingly open invitation to online predators.
1. The author would most likely agree with which of the following sentences?
A. Salvia is a highly dangerous and addictive substance that causes neurological damage.
B. An important protection for our young people is to regulate herbal substances such as salvia.
C. Online video sites should require people posting videos of themselves using salvia to prove they are 18 or older.
D. People who post salvia videos should be more explicit about the hallucinations they experienced when they come out of the high.
E. The videos of teenagers using salvia exemplify multiple concerns faced by today’s parents.

Official Explanation
2. Which of the following statements is suggested by the passage?
Explanation
Here is another Inference question, this time with the potential for multiple correct answers. You can infer choice (I) because the text states that the “spaced out” part only lasts a few minutes but that the experience is intense enough that young people describe it in great detail.
There is no evidence for choice (II); the author doesn’t opine on the psychological state of salvia users.
Choice (III) is not suggested by the passage; “online predators,” not “drug pushers,” are cited as the threat, and salvia is not compared to other drugs.
Answer: A
