Read the following passage about green living and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Green living refers to a lifestyle that promotes sustainability and environmental consciousness. This way of life
encourages individuals to make choices that reduce their carbon footprint and conserve natural resources. Practices
such as recycling, using renewable energy sources, and reducing waste are fundamental aspects of green living. By
adopting these practices, individuals can contribute to the preservation of the environment and promote a healthier
planet for future generations.
One significant component of green living is the use of renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, and hydroelectric
power are examples of renewable energy that can replace fossil fuels. Using renewable energy reduces greenhouse
gas emissions and dependence on non-renewable resources. Additionally, renewable energy sources are often more
sustainable and have less impact on the environment.
Another important aspect of green living is sustainable consumption. This involves choosing products that are
environmentally friendly and responsibly sourced. For example, buying locally produced food reduces the carbon
footprint associated with transportation. Moreover, opting for products made from recycled materials helps conserve
resources and reduce waste.
Green living also emphasizes the importance of conserving water and energy. Simple actions such as turning off
lights when not in use, fixing leaks, and using energy-efficient appliances can significantly reduce energy and
water consumption. These practices not only benefit the environment but also save money on utility bills.
Education and awareness play a crucial role in promoting green living. By educating individuals about the benefits
of sustainable practices and how to implement them, communities can foster a culture of environmental responsibility.
Awareness campaigns, workshops, and educational programs are effective ways to encourage people to adopt green
living practices.

Read the following passage about urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Urbanization refers to the increasing population shift from rural to urban areas, resulting in the growth of cities
and metropolitan regions (Hall, 2014). [II] This phenomenon is driven by various factors, including economic
opportunities, improved living standards, and social amenities available in urban centers. [III] As a result, urbanization
significantly impacts both individuals and communities, leading to a range of benefits and challenges (Davis, 2016).
[IV]
One of the primary advantages of urbanization is the economic growth it fosters. Cities often provide a plethora
of job opportunities, attracting individuals seeking better employment and higher incomes. In urban areas, businesses
flourish due to increased demand for goods and services, leading to enhanced economic productivity. Moreover,
urbanization encourages innovation and technological advancements, as a dense concentration of people often fosters
creativity and collaboration (Florida, 2017).
However, urbanization also presents significant challenges. Rapid population growth in cities can lead to
overcrowding, straining public services such as transportation, healthcare, and education. Many urban areas struggle
to provide adequate housing, resulting in the proliferation of informal settlements and slums. According to the United
Nations (2018), nearly one billion people live in slums, lacking access to basic services. They also face adverse living
conditions. This situation exacerbates social inequality and can lead to increased crime rates and health issues.
To address the challenges of urbanization, sustainable urban planning is essential. Governments and urban
planners must prioritize creating inclusive, well-connected cities that provide access to essential services for all
residents. Strategies such as developing affordable housing, enhancing public transport systems, and promoting green
spaces can help improve the quality of life in urban areas while mitigating the negative impacts of urbanization (World
Bank, 2019).

C. Rapid urbanization has no impact on crime rates or health issues.
D. The growth of cities automatically improves living conditions for all.
Question 36. The word "proliferation" in paragraph 3 is CLOSEST in meaning to ____.
A. reduction B. increase C. stabilization D. disappearance
Question 37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Urbanization exclusively benefits individuals with higher incomes.
B. All urban areas can easily provide adequate housing for their residents.
C. Sustainable urban planning is crucial to addressing the issues arising from urbanization.
D. Rapid urbanization has no effect on public services or living conditions.
Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Creating well-designed urban areas requires collaboration between governments and city planners.
B. It is essential for governments to implement urban planning strategies to enhance city life.
C. The planning of urban areas must not focus on environmental sustainability.
D. Urban planning should prioritize attracting businesses rather than improving living standards.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Urbanization is a recent phenomenon that has minimal global impact.
B. Slums are a direct result of effective urban planning.
C. Sustainable urban planning can help mitigate some of the negative effects of urbanization.

and social inequality that require sustainable urban planning to address.

Read the following passage about remote work and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] The rise of remote work has transformed the modern workplace, offering flexibility and a better work-life
balance for employees around the world (Bloom et al., 2015). [II] This trend, accelerated by technological
advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic, allows employees to work from home or any location with internet
access (Gajendran & Harrison, 2007). [III] While remote work provides numerous benefits, it also presents
challenges that organizations and employees must address to remain productive and engaged. [IV]
One of the main benefits of remote work is increased flexibility. Employees can manage their time more
effectively, which often leads to higher job satisfaction and reduced stress. Furthermore, remote work eliminates
the need for daily commutes, saving time and reducing transportation expenses. Many employees report feeling
more empowered to control their schedules, allowing them to better balance personal and professional
responsibilities.
However, remote work also comes with significant challenges. Isolation is a common issue, as employees
miss out on face-to-face interactions and team bonding, which are important for mental well-being and
collaboration. Studies have shown that prolonged isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness, reducing job
satisfaction and affecting mental health (Ozcelik & Barsade, 2018). Additionally, remote workers may struggle
to maintain boundaries between work and personal life, leading to overwork and burnout.
To make remote work successful, companies need to implement strategies that support employee well-being
and productivity. Providing tools for virtual collaboration, setting clear work-life boundaries, and
encouraging regular team check-ins can help MITIGATE the challenges of remote work. By balancing
flexibility with structured support, organizations can create a sustainable remote work environment that benefits
both employers and employees (Larson & DeChurch, 2020).
