All of the trees in the park are flowering trees, So all dogwoods
in the park are flowering trees.
Correct Answer: before embarking on a new exercise regimen, you should think about your needs and desires.
Explanation:
The second sentence points out that people should examine what they want from a fitness routine before signing up for a new exercise class. There is no evidence to support choice a. Choice c might sound reasonable due to the fact that the paragraph tells us that yoga has become very popular, but this statement is not supported by the information provided in the paragraph. Choices d and e are also not supported since the paragraph doesn't tell us whether yoga is good for both body and mind or what people think about it.
