Question

select two sentences that provide strong evidence that there are concerns to consider before submitting dna to a database.

• “as a society of immigrants, we are bound to be interested in anything that tells us more about where our ancestors came from.” (paragraph 1)
• “...but society has a great respect for science and we want to use science to help determine what is true about ourselves.” (paragraph 3)
• “other companies are offering free testing at community outreach events in underserved populations to expand their databases.” (paragraph 6)
• “finding out late in life that your sister is not your genetic sister or that your cousin is not your genetic cousin can be quite overwhelming at first.” (paragraph 10)
• “...a dna test might reveal a result that does not resonate with who you feel you are.” (paragraph 12)

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: Talks about interest in ancestry, not concerns about DNA databases.
• Option 2: Discusses respect for science, not concerns.
• Option 3: Shows companies expanding databases (implies potential misuse/concerns about data collection).
• Option 4: Discusses emotional impact of DNA results (a concern before submitting DNA).
• Option 5: Discusses identity mismatch from DNA results (a concern before submission).

1. The two sentences with strong evidence of concerns are the ones about emotional impact (Option 4) and identity mismatch (Option 5), and also the one about companies expanding databases (Option 3) shows a concern about data collection. But the most relevant for personal concerns before submission are Option 4 and Option 5, and Option 3 for database - related concerns. However, the question asks for two sentences. The sentences "Finding out late in life that your sister is not your genetic sister or that your cousin is not your genetic cousin can be quite overwhelming at first." (paragraph 10) and "...a DNA test might reveal a result that does not resonate with who you feel you are." (paragraph 12) and "Other companies are offering free testing at community outreach events in underserved populations to expand their databases" (paragraph 6) are the ones with concerns. But the two that are about personal concerns before submitting DNA are the fourth and fifth options (the ones about overwhelming results and identity mismatch) and the third about database expansion. But the question is to select two. The correct two are:

• "Finding out late in life that your sister is not your genetic sister or that your cousin is not your genetic cousin can be quite overwhelming at first." (paragraph 10)
• "...a DNA test might reveal a result that does not resonate with who you feel you are." (paragraph 12)
• Or "Other companies are offering free testing at community outreach events in underserved populations to expand their databases" (paragraph 6) and one of the personal impact ones. But the most appropriate two that show concerns before submitting DNA (either about data collection or personal impact) are the fourth (about overwhelming results) and fifth (about identity mismatch) or third (about database expansion) and one of the personal. But the standard answer for such a question would be the fourth and fifth (the ones about the personal impact of DNA results) as they are direct concerns an individual would have before submitting DNA.

Answer:

• "Finding out late in life that your sister is not your genetic sister or that your cousin is not your genetic cousin can be quite overwhelming at first." (paragraph 10)
• "...a DNA test might reveal a result that does not resonate with who you feel you are." (paragraph 12)
