B. Reading passages and then answer the questions below:Passage 1:

If a loaf of bread is made with soy flour, theloaf cannot be labeled as white bread.A label must not be misleading. This restriction is somewhat vagueand therefore cannot prevent all violations. Although the governmenttries to eliminate all misleading labels, the consumer mustnevertheless be always on guard. Just because a can os sardines hasa fancy-sounding foreign name, do not take for granted the fish wereimported. That is a law too that manufacturers must list their namesand places of business on their labels. Manufacturers must use

common names in identifying their products so that anyone canreadily understand what he is buying. Synthetic foods must beprominently labeled as artificial. Food composed of two or moreigredigents must bear labels listing all ingredigents in the orderof predominance.1. According to the article. What is the main purpose of a label?.2. What will a careful reading of a label prevent?..3. What does the author suggest?
