Have you ever left your computer feeling sore in your wrists or shoulders? Or does your neck feel strained form looking up or down at your monitor? Take a moment next time you are at your workstation to see what your setup looks like. Ergonomics is the practice of designing and arranging objects to allow for efficiency and healthy alignment of the body while performing tasks. By doing a little research about an ergonomic workstation and then making small changes to your work area, you can prevent muscle strains and tension, headaches, pinched nerves, and other physical disorders. For example, raise or lower your chair so your feet can touch the ground and so it is at the proper height and distance from your keyboard and mouse. Also, you might need to prop your monitor on a sturdy platform to make the screen in line with your eyes so you do not have to lift or lower your head to see properly. Changes like these may seem small, but having an ergonomic workstation just might save you a trip to the doctor. Which of these best states the main idea?

1. Looking Down Constantly at the Laptop Screen

Poor laptop posture

What most people do when using a laptop is to simply place it on their desk (or God forbid on their laps). This might be okay for a short while, but any time longer, and your neck and shoulders will start to feel it.

According to studies, even a 15° tilt of the neck to look down at the laptop screen doubles the amount of force exerted on our necks to hold up the head. If you place your laptop on your lap, that force can be 3 times as great compared to a straight neck.

Dr. Kenneth Hansraj, in his research found that, even though the human head only weighs 10 to 12 lbs on average, the weight drastically increases as the head tilts forward. At a 15° angle, the weight jumps to 27 lbs, 40 lbs at 30°, 49 lbs at 45°, and 60 lbs at 60°.

Hence, though the motion of looking down might seem harmless, doing it for long periods of time can lead to neck pain, upper back muscle spasms, and even damage the vertebrae.

Solution: Use a laptop stand to elevate the laptop screen to eye level.

Which of the following statements best describes the nature of Daedalus’s warning to Icarus in the following passage?

Without delay, he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boy Icarus, and taught him carefully how to use them, bidding him beware of rash adventures among the stars. “Remember,” said the father, “never to fly very low or very high, for the fogs about the earth would weigh you down, but the blaze of the sun will surely melt your feathers apart if you go too near.”

For Icarus, these cautions went in at one ear and out by the other. Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for the first time? Are birds careful? Not they! And not an idea remained in the boy’s head but the one joy of escape.
Answer choices for the above question

A. Daedalus is worried that his invented wings are dysfunctional.

B. Daedalus knows his son is disobedient by nature and so he warns him early to be careful.

C. Daedalus knows from experience that the wings will melt and his son likes to fly high.

D. The thought of flight and escape—which Daedalus warns can be dangerous—is too thrilling for Icarus to worry about safety.
