Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question. URBANISATION: A GROWING PHENOMENON Urbanization is the process through which cities grow, and higher populations begin to inhabit urban areas. This phenomenon has accelerated significantly over the past few decades due to various factors. One of the primary drivers is the search for better employment opportunities. In rural areas, job prospects are often limited or agriculture and small‑scale industries might not provide sufficient income. Consequently, people migrate to cities seeking better livelihoods and living standards. Additionally, urban areas offer more advanced educational facilities and healthcare services compared to rural regions. Many families move to cities to provide their children with higher‑quality education and greater future opportunities. Access to hospitals and specialized medical services also attracts people to urban centers, especially in countries where rural healthcare is underdeveloped. However, rapid urbanization brings about several challenges. Overcrowding in cities can lead to inadequate housing, strained infrastructure, and increased pollution. The expansion of urban areas often results in the loss of green spaces and agricultural land, impacting food production and the environment. Governments and city planners must address these issues to ensure sustainable urban growth. Despite these challenges, urbanization has several positive aspects. Cities are often cultural melting pots, where people of diverse origins interact, leading to vibrant communities and innovation. The concentration of resources and talents in urban areas can drive economic growth and technological advancements. Question: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for urbanization?

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question. CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD [I] In today's globalized world, cultural diversity has become a fundamental aspect of many societies. [II] Many countries are experiencing increasing levels of migration. [III] With the rise of immigration and the blending of traditions, people from various cultural backgrounds are now living side by side in cities across the globe. [IV] One of the key advantages of cultural diversity is the richness it adds to a society. Different cultures introduce unique perspectives, foods, languages, and traditions, which help people broaden their understanding of the world. In schools and workplaces, cultural diversity fosters creativity and innovation, as individuals from different backgrounds approach problems in novel ways. However, there are also challenges associated with living in culturally diverse communities. Misunderstandings and communication barriers can arise when people are unfamiliar with each other's customs and values. To address these issues, societies must encourage cultural sensitivity and create opportunities for cross‑cultural exchange. Governments and institutions around the world are beginning to implement policies that promote inclusion and respect for cultural differences. By celebrating diversity through events, education, and media representation, communities can create environments where people feel valued regardless of their background. Ultimately, embracing cultural diversity helps to build more peaceful and harmonious societies. Question: Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit? This increasing diversity brings about both challenges and opportunities.

Read the passage and answer the question: Plastic waste is becoming a big problem for our planet. Every year, millions of tons of plastic are produced. This plastic ends up in our oceans, rivers, and land. One of the biggest issues is that plastic takes a very long time to break down. In fact, some types of plastic can last for hundreds of years! This means that the plastic we use today will still be here long after we are gone. One major source of plastic waste is single‑use items. [I] After using them, many people throw them away, and they often end up in the ocean. [II] Marine animals mistake these plastic items for food. [III] For example, sea turtles often eat plastic bags because they look like jellyfish. [IV] This can cause serious health problems for the animals. They may get sick or even die from eating plastic. Many organizations are working hard to reduce plastic waste. They encourage people to use reusable products instead of single‑use items. For example, using a metal straw instead of a plastic one can help reduce the amount of plastic in the ocean. Recycling is also important. Although only a small percentage of plastic is recycled, increasing this number can make a big difference. Governments around the world are starting to take action. Some places have banned plastic bags or limited the use of single‑use plastics. These steps are essential to protect our environment. Everyone can help by making small changes in their daily lives. By reducing our plastic use and recycling more, we can help keep our oceans clean and protect marine life. In conclusion, plastic waste is a serious problem that affects our planet. It harms animals and takes a long time to break down. By using less plastic and recycling more, we can all contribute to a cleaner and healthier world.

Read the passage and answer the question: Today, there is a growing need to find alternative energy sources. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are limited, and their use contributes to climate change. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are being explored as sustainable options. Solar and wind power, in particular, are becoming more popular as technology improves. Using renewable energy can help protect the environment. When we rely on fossil fuels, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which traps heat and contributes to global warming. Wind and solar power, however, do not produce carbon emissions. For example, a wind turbine creates energy simply by using the wind's natural movement, with no harmful effects on the atmosphere. Several countries are investing in renewable energy to reduce pollution and dependency on fossil fuels. In Germany, for instance, around 40% of the country’s electricity now comes from renewables. The government plans to increase this percentage, aiming for a more sustainable future. In Costa Rica, nearly all the country's electricity comes from renewable sources, setting a positive example for other nations. New technologies are also being developed to improve energy storage. One challenge with renewable sources like solar and wind is that they depend on weather conditions. By creating more efficient batteries, scientists hope to store energy for times when the sun isn’t shining, or the wind isn’t blowing. Making these technologies widely accessible could help communities worldwide reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a renewable energy source?

In the same passage, the word "limited" in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _____.

In the same passage, the word "creates" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _____.

Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer. Passage excerpt: Walking is a great way to get around. For short trips, for exercise, or just for fun, walking can be better than driving or riding. But in many cities, walking can also be dangerous. Cars, trucks, and motorcycles are a danger to pedestrians, and sometimes there are accidents. David Engwicht, from Brisbane, Australia, wants to do something about this. His book, Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns, has a simple message: We need to take back our streets and make them better places for walking. In the past, Engwicht says, streets belonged to everybody. Children played there, and people walked to work or to stores. Now, however, most city engineers design streets for vehicles. People stay inside buildings to get away from the crowded sidewalks, the noisy streets, and the dangerous traffic. Unfortunately, this gives them less contact with their neighbours. Many cities are working to make their streets safer for pedestrians. There are new crosswalks on the streets and more traffic lights and bicycle lanes. The city of Florence, Italy, only allows cars and buses with special permits to drive on its historic city streets. In Boston, US, the Slow Streets Program gives some neighbourhoods more stop signs and a 20 mph (32 kph) speed limit. Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighbourhoods. Whether we live in a small town or a city with a population in the millions, Engwicht says we should think of streets as our “outdoor living room.” Changing the traffic is just the beginning. In the future, streets may again be safe places for people, and walking will be an even better form of transportation than it is now. Question: In which paragraph does the writer mention Engwicht’s efforts to change attitudes toward streets and neighbourhoods?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer. Passage excerpt: [I] Wildlife conservation refers to the efforts made to protect and preserve wild animal species and their habitats. [II] It is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, which plays a vital role in ecosystem stability and health (Smith & Jones, 2018). [III] Unfortunately, many species are threatened due to habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change, making conservation efforts more urgent than ever. [IV] One of the primary reasons for wildlife conservation is the preservation of biodiversity. A diverse range of species contributes to ecosystem services, such as pollination, water purification, and climate regulation. The loss of a single species can disrupt these services and lead to ecological imbalances. For instance, the decline of pollinators like bees has serious implications for food production and agriculture (Global Biodiversity Outlook, 2020). Moreover, wildlife conservation has significant economic benefits. Many communities depend on ecotourism, which relies on healthy wildlife populations and intact ecosystems. According to a study by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF, 2021), ecotourism can generate billions of dollars in revenue, providing jobs and supporting local economies. Protecting wildlife not only safeguards natural resources but also creates sustainable livelihoods for local populations. However, effective wildlife conservation requires a collaborative approach. Governments, non-governmental organizations, and local communities must work together to implement policies and strategies that promote conservation efforts. Community-based conservation initiatives, where local people actively participate in protecting their natural resources, have shown promising results. These initiatives empower communities and ensure that conservation efforts are tailored to local needs and contexts (Bennett & Dearden, 2014).
