---- Refer to the given paragraph below, entitled “Picturing Don Quixote”:
Seventeenth-century images emphasized the title character’s pompous folly as
well as the often rough-and-tumble action of many episodes. The windmill scene,
in which Don Quixote mistakes the technology that grinds the grain produced in
the semi-arid Manchegan landscape for giants, became immediately iconic. The

In blistering Nebraska, it was America’s Independence Day. As usual on every
Independence Day since I was five years old, George and Terry, my two best
friends, and I, went on a manly picnic. I diligently carried out my household
chores, packed my picnic bag and off I went to collect my friends by way of
bicycle. It is going to be an awesome day, I thought to myself as I sped down my
neighborhood street on my beat-up blue Schwinn.
THE writer presented what point of view?

---Read the following excerpt from the short story, Dead Stars by Paz Marquez
Benitez:
Alfredo remembered that period with a wonder not unmixed with shame. That
was less than four years ago. He could not understand those months of a great
hunger that was not of the body nor yet of the mind, a craving that had seized on
him one quiet night when the moon was abroad and under the dappled shadow of
the trees in the plaza, man wooed maid. Was he being cheated by life? Love--he
seemed to have missed it. Or was the love that others told about a mere
fabrication of perfervid imagination, an exaggeration of the commonplace, a
glorification of insipid monotonies such as made up his love life? Was love a
combination of circumstances, or sheer native capacity of soul? In those days
love was, for him, still the eternal puzzle; for love, as he knew it, was a stranger
to love as he divined it might be.
What narrative device was used in the paragraph?
The correct answer is: Flashback
--- Read the following example of a definition paragraph:
The term protein quality refers to the ratio of essential amino acids (eaa) in a
protein in comparison with the ratio required by the body. A high quality protein
contains eaa in a ratio that matches human requirements. A protein which is
lacking or low in one or more eaa is termed a low quality protein. The eaa which
is in the shortest supply is called the ‘limiting’ amino acid. In general, animal
proteins tend to be high quality while vegetable proteins tend to be low quality.
The exception is soy protein which is quite high quality.
What is the strategy used in the development of the paragraph?
The correct answer is: Denotation
----Refer to the given paragraph below on The Great Wall of China:
The Great Wall, or Chang Cheng in Chinese, is massive. It begins in the east at
the Yellow Sea, travels near China’s capital, Beijing, and continues west through
numerous provinces. For thousands of miles, it winds like a snake through
China’s varied terrain. Smaller walls extend from the main wall. According to
conservative estimates, the Great Wall’s length is approximately 2,400 miles, its
thickness ranges from 15-30 feet wide, and it reaches in height to about 25
feet.
What type of description is used in the paragraph?
The correct answer is: Objective description
-----Read the following example of a definition paragraph:
Soren Kierkegaard, another famous existentialist, comprehends absurd as a
synonym to paradox. He defines it as a matter of faith and the only phenomena
that allows a person to believe in self. According to his philosophy, a human
being is a synthesis of opposites: eternal and temporary, finite and infinite,
freedom and obligation. Due to the synthesis of these opposites in an individual’s
consciousness, one constantly resides in fear and despair (Liam 194). And the
more self-consciousness one possesses, the deeper these feelings are. The only
way for salvation is faith in God and this is where absurd comes in. Kierkegaard
refers to the biblical myth about Abraham and his son Isaac. According to this
legend, God required Abraham to sacrifice his son to Him. In this case,
Abraham’s faith led him to commit a crime; it transformed a murder into an act of
charity and simultaneously, where faith had returned Isaac to his father alive.
Faith cannot be logically argued, but it works and this is absurd. Individuals are
free and this freedom lets them find their own way to God.

1. Arrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph.

[There have been immense advances in technology in most aspects of people’s
lives, especially in the field of education.]. [Nowadays, an increasing number of
students rely on computers for research and to produce a perfect paper for
school purposes. ]. [Others have decided to leave the original way of learning
and to get knowledge through online schools.]. [These changes in the learning
process have brought a special concern regarding the possible decrease of
importance of teachers in the classroom.].
2. Choose the correct transition words for the paragraph from the given choices
below. You may use the same word multiple times.
The correct answer is:
Every four years, the whole world stops to watch international sporting events
[such as] the Olympics and the Football World Cup in which athletes show their
best performance to make their country proud. These sporting occasions have
proved to be helpful in easing international tension in difficult times when
powerful leaders were trying to control the world’s economy and other
governments were fighting over the land.
The Olympic Games are one of the best examples which prove how sporting
events can bring nations together, at least temporarily. [from] the ancient
History, [when] Greeks and Romans would interrupt battles to participate in the
games, to the more recent international disputes, when athletes from Palestine
and Israel would forget their differences, compete peacefully and even embrace
each other after an event. [moreover], these popular events have called the
world’s attention to the terrible consequences of wars; [thus] some leaders have
tried to reach agreements to end their disputes and live peacefully.
Similarly, international sporting events show benefits in some developing
countries which live in a daily internal civil war. [for example], Brazil has a high
rate of unemployment, lack of education, hunger, crime, poverty and corruption
which leads to an immense embarrassment of being Brazilian and a low self-
esteem. [however], when the Football World Cup starts, the Brazilian squad,
which is considered the best team in the world, provokes an amazing feeling of
pride in their country. Most people seem to forget all their problems and even the
criminal activity decreases. They paint roads with the national colors, wear the
Brazilian team shirts and buy national flags. [moreover], the competition brings
families and neighbors together and even rival gangs watch the games and
celebrate peacefully.
[in conclusion], popular sporting events play an important role in decreasing
international tensions and liberating patriotic feelings as history has shown.
3. Arrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph.
The correct answer is:
[For some people the little green tassels dropping from the trees and the fluffy
pink, white, and yellow blossoms announce the arrival of allergy season.]. [For
others a big, furry dog or a soft feather pillow brings on the sneezes or itchy
eyes.]. [Still others are in trouble if they accidentally eat honey, chocolate, or
water chestnuts.]. [Although millions of Americans have allergies, no one knows
definitely how allergies develop or why some people have them and others do
not.]. [ Doctors have made some progress in diagnosis.]. [Yet allergies remain a
mystery that is only partially understood and only partially treatable.].
4.Which of the following contains the topic sentence?
(A) Today’s world has been divided into developing and industrialized countries

commerce. (B) Most of the poorer nations are buried in debts as a result of their
unbalanced finances which are reflect in a failed health care, an unstructured
education system and a weak international trade. (C) This vicious cycle will

worldwide economic differences, as well as taking more responsibility for
assisting less fortunate countries.
The correct answer is: A
5.Choose the proper pattern of arrangement of the following jumbled paragraph.
(A) For the first time however, the waters of Laguna de Bay are serving a new

(F) For some people the little green tassels dropping from the trees and the fluffy
pink, white, and yellow blossoms announce the arrival of allergy season.
The correct answer is: E
7.Which of the following contains the topic sentence?
(A) As an English writer has written, “Providence in her wise disposition has

found without much labor, and does not require them to toil and slave to satisfy
their personal wants.” (B) By the yard stick of human action in temperature
countries, the Filipinos do not work hard. (C) Foreign writers have rashly
accused the Filipinos of “indolence.” (D) The Filipinos take life easy because of

A. The correct answer is:

Arrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph.
Shakespeare never grows old. Why is that? It’s because he expresses timeless
truths with unparalleled literary excellence. The study of Shakespeare is
essential for a good education.
[The first reason to study Shakespeare is to develop one’s appreciation for great
literature]. [Shakespeare’s genius is evident, not only in his sonnets and other
poems, but in some three dozen plays]. [His characters are vivid and his plots
compelling]. [Once you’ve met them, who can ever forget Hamlet or Lady
Macbeth - his grief, or her guilt - or Beatrice and Benedick, and their humorous
banter?] It’s not an accident that Shakespeare is the most-quoted author in the
English language. [He also confers a rich vocabulary]. [The prestigious Oxford
English Dictionary estimates that Shakespeare “coined” about 1700 words].
[What better way to develop an appreciation for great literature than by studying
the best?]
[Clearly, there is an enduring value in Shakespeare]. [In addition to his literary
gifts, Shakespeare reveals deep spiritual insights]. [ The plays of Shakespeare
rest upon and express a Biblical worldview]. Although he tapped many sources
for inspiration, his primary source was Scripture. One researcher has
documented over 1,300 Biblical references in Shakespeare, an average of about
forty per play. Shakespeare wrote from a God-centered, redemptive perspective.
The great Biblical themes are all there.
Given the magnitude of his contribution, it is no wonder that scholars like E. D.
Hirsch have insisted on the importance of reading Shakespeare to develop a
basic, “cultural literacy.” Shakespeare provides a wonderful ‘bridge’ for
discussing the great questions of life, and for rediscovering the richness in
Western civilization.
The works of Shakespeare constitute a rich literary, spiritual and cultural
treasure, just waiting for discovery. Students of Shakespeare are rewarded for
their efforts. But that’s a bonus. It’s like getting paid to play.

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate transition word. Choose one from the given
choices below.
Turkish governments have been trying to join the European union for years.
Despite all the difficult tasks that have to be achieved in order to join the EU,
Turkish governments are persistent. Turkish citizens seem to agree with their
governments, too. Why do we insist on becoming a member of the union then? It
is probably because of the differences between the happiness levels of Turkish
and EU citizens.
A study has been conducted on contentment and optimism of people in Turkey
and the EU, which revealed that as a nation we have low levels of satisfaction
and happiness. Nearly two thirds of Turkish people are discontent with their
lives, [while] four fifths of the EU citizens are satisfied with their lives.
Approximately the same results can be observed on people’s thoughts about
their countries’ present and future conditions. It is obvious that people in the EU
are happier than the people in Turkey, [but] why are we unhappy and pessimistic
in contrast to EU citizens?
There are plenty of reasons for the discontentment of people in Turkey compared
to those in EU, [but] there are some reasons of greater significance, [such as]
differences in income, welfare, and stability.
[first of all], it is known that there is a great gap between the incomes of Turkish
and EU citizens. This means that a person in EU who does the same job as a
person in Turkey will receive a higher salary in Europe than in Turkey. Similarly,
an unemployed person in EU is paid more or has more pension and social rights
than an unemployed person in our country.
[moreover], there is another fact which is a result of earlier ones: there are many
people below poverty line and starvation limit in Turkey. These conditions lead
to dissatisfaction in the country, we cannot be happy when we are starving, can
we?
[furthermore], Turkish economic and government systems lack stability.
Considering successive crises and growths following these, it can be said that
Turkish economy is fluctuating. Just as the economy, government has no sign of
continuity. Each new government blames the previous governments and changes
what they have done. These acts are justified as being necessary [but] generally
lead to nothing but corruption. Lack of continuity causes confusion, [as] people
need time to get used to new conditions. If you do not give them enough time
and change the conditions again, just like in Turkey, the result will be confusion
followed by depression. [however], in Europe there is a system that goes on
without great disruptions, which means that there is a stable life and a
predictable, better to say a hopeful, future.
As I mentioned before, our persistence in joining the EU may be because of their
happiness against our discontentment. We hope to find satisfaction, which we
could not find alone, in Europe. Considering the fact that neither EU nor any
other unions can grant happiness without any effort, is it not better that we work
for our own benefit, not only to join the EU?
D. Identify the topic sentence.
(A) Most people want to get married and have children. (B) Perhaps they want to
leave a trace or offspring after them, so that they become somehow “immortal”.
(C) And it is commonly said that children are the ultimate bliss in our lives. (D)
Although many people agree with this statement, to my mind, it is not true
The correct answer is: D
E.Identify the topic sentence.
(A) Everyday in one way or another we are trying to find happiness in a complete
chaos, that is what all we are struggling for. (B) Actually, temporary happiness is
everywhere if we want to find it and search for it. (C) Sometimes it is just as
close as a cute kitten to us, sometimes giving a hand to someone who is in need
of us is enough. (D) Even taking a breath may give somebody the absolute
happiness at times. (E) But what if we leave temporary happiness alone and
decide to construct our lives on basic principles of permanent happiness? (F)
Certainly these principles depend on one’s characteristics and point of view. (G)
In my opinion, social relations, acceptance and independence are the most
important elements of permanent happiness in life.
The correct answer is: G
F. Identify the topic sentence.
(A) The expansion of the world population is the most important problem that
should be solved in order not to confront in the near future big social problems
such as bad economic circumstances and lack of resources, food and housing.
(B) Birth control, although may lead to religious, cultural and moral objections, is
the fastest way to reduce the population growth rate. (C) Therefore,
governments should begin programs of birth control even in a compulsory
manner due to the fact that group survival is more important than individual
freedom.
The correct answer is: A

Differences Between Tokyo and Kyoto
In recent decades, the title of one of the most popular cultures worldwide should be definitely given
to Japan. Millions of people all over the world study the Japanese language,
watch dorama (dramatic TV series on all kinds of topics) or animation, read and write haiku, and
make pen pals with Japanese people. Countless people buy tickets and fly to the country of the
rising sun to see its wonders with their own eyes.
Among the most popular destinations—mostly because these city names are most known to the
western public—are Tokyo and Kyoto. And perhaps for an inexperienced traveler, there is a
dilemma: where to go? Mostly, people know that Tokyo is a mega city of the future, and Kyoto has
more to do with ancient culture, traditions, and so on. Basically it is true, but at the same time, there
also exist more subtle differences one should consider when choosing their destination point in
Japan.
The first of them is prices. Tokyo is expensive—as you might expect from the capital of the most
urbanized country in the world (the prices below are listed in Japanese yen: 1 USD approximately
equals 100 yen). So, to grab some inexpensive snack in Tokyo would cost around 850 yen. Having a
three-course meal for two people in a mid-range restaurant, in case you travel with your spouse, will
cost you 5,230 yen. A one-way ticket on Tokyo transport costs you 190 yen, and renting one room
apartment outside of the city center costs 77,853 yen (and this is probably a weekly price). Just do
not expect this apartment to be big and cozy; most likely it will be tiny, with basic utilities, and with no
central heating (actually, there is no such thing in Japan at all—everyone warms their house up on
their own). If you think of buying an apartment in Tokyo, forget it—one square meter of a room
outside of the city center is around 1 million yen (double the price if you want to live closer to the city
center).
Kyoto is not much cheaper. Although dining in a restaurant is cheaper—only 4,000 yen for two
persons in a mid-range restaurant—transportation costs are surprisingly higher: 235 yen for a ride
(however, if you want to purchase a monthly pass, it is cheaper to do in Kyoto rather than in Tokyo:
8,410 yen compared to 10,000 yen). If you think you can save some money buying food in a market,
you are correct only in particulars: some products in Japan cost a lot of money no matter where you
buy them. For example, white rice costs 850 yen for 1 kg in Kyoto (453 yen in Tokyo). White bread,
tomatoes, chicken breasts, and especially cheese—these are the most expensive products both in
Kyoto and in Tokyo. Speaking of accommodation, renting or buying an apartment in Kyoto is much
cheaper: for a one room apartment outside of Kyoto’s center, you must pay 48,000 yen to rent, or
300,000 yen per square meter if you want to buy it (Numbeo.com).
Tokyo is great to visit if you enjoy hustle and bustle, if you want to feel the heartbeat of a mega-city,
dive into its life, and experience all those crazy things people in the West usually tell about Japan.
Be prepared for the overcrowded subway— and “overcrowded” is a gentle way to put it; in fact, you
can take a 60-minute ride in the subway, and your feet will not even touch the floor, because you will
be squeezed between other people so tight that you can even take a nap in this position. Kyoto, on
the other hand, is good to visit for all those who feel inspired by traditional Japanese culture: haiku,
hanami, court customs, the No theater, and so on. In Kyoto, you will not see amazing skyscrapers,
over 280 subway stations, and the craziness of the famous Shibuya crossing; instead, get prepared
for temples, tea houses, museums: all things antique and authentic. But, if you want modernity, go to
Tokyo, and you will not feel disappointed—this city already lives in the future (Go Overseas).
It is difficult to say which city is better for an inexperienced tourist to visit, Tokyo or Kyoto. Kyoto is
cheaper, especially in terms of renting an apartment, and is more suitable for those looking for the
old Japanese culture weaved into sophisticated palaces made during Heian-jidai. Tokyo, on the
contrary, is an enormous metropolis, with crazy prices, crazy transportation, crazy everything. The
atmospheres are different, but both of the cities will make you awed, so if you have a chance, you
should definitely visit them.

Based on the given example of compare and contrast essay, which of the two cities is cheaper in
terms of dining?
Answer: KYOTO
----What type of definition is used in the given paragraph?

Newton’s First Law: If the total force acting on an object is zero, its center of
mass continues in the same state of motion.
In other words, an object initially at rest is predicted to remain at rest if the total
force acting on it is zero, and an object in motion remains in motion with the
same velocity in the same direction. The converse of Newton’s first law is also
true: if we observe an object moving with constant velocity along a straight line,
then the total force on it must be zero. You may encounter the term “net force,”
which is simply a synonym for total force
----True or False: The rising action refers to events caused by the climax.
.----Read the following paragraph and identify what type of description is used:
Back in 1999 this fearless athlete posed in this football picture. In the far
distance below the cloudless sky stands an off-white stadium. Embedded in the
center is large, cracked, blue, painted, letters that spell out BISON. Beneath the
old stadium are rows of worn-out bleachers which are completely empty. Up in
front stands the competitor down on one knee. As you observe more, the sport
player is wearing a blue Bison jersey sporting the number 60. To the left above
the freshly trimmed green grass that engulfs this player’s figure lays a football.
In the center of the picture, you see her pale white face and dark brown eyes.
Around these features you can not help but notice the bronzed hair; which
appears to be pulled back around this slender face. Her stern look shows how
proud she is; nonetheless, all the confidence she carries on her padded up
shoulders. This unique woman is not only elegant and brave; she is my sister,
Margaret Eva Hoyt.
The correct answer is: Subjective description
-----Read the given paragraph below:
In recent decades, the title of one of the most popular cultures worldwide should
be definitely given to Japan. Millions of people all over the world study the
Japanese language, watch dorama (dramatic TV series on all kinds of topics) or
animation, read and write haiku, and make pen pals with Japanese people.
Countless people buy tickets and fly to the country of the rising sun to see its
wonders with their own eyes.
Among the most popular destinations—mostly because these city names are
most known to the western public—are Tokyo and Kyoto. And perhaps for an
inexperienced traveler, there is a dilemma: where to go? Mostly, people know
that Tokyo is a mega city of the future, and Kyoto has more to do with ancient
culture, traditions, and so on. Basically it is true, but at the same time, there
also exist more subtle differences one should consider when choosing their
destination point in Japan.
The first of them is prices. Tokyo is expensive—as you might expect from the
capital of the most urbanized country in the world (the prices below are listed in
Japanese yen: 1 USD approximately equals 100 yen). So, to grab some
inexpensive snack in Tokyo would cost around 850 yen. Having a three-course
meal for two people in a mid-range restaurant, in case you travel with your
spouse, will cost you 5,230 yen. A one-way ticket on Tokyo transport costs you
190 yen, and renting one room apartment outside of the city center costs 77,853
yen (and this is probably a weekly price). Just do not expect this apartment to be
big and cozy; most likely it will be tiny, with basic utilities, and with no central
heating (actually, there is no such thing in Japan at all—everyone warms their
house up on their own). If you think of buying an apartment in Tokyo, forget it—
one square meter of a room outside of the city center is around 1 million yen
(double the price if you want to live closer to the city center).
Kyoto is not much cheaper. Although dining in a restaurant is cheaper—only
4,000 yen for two persons in a mid-range restaurant—transportation costs are
surprisingly higher: 235 yen for a ride (however, if you want to purchase a
monthly pass, it is cheaper to do in Kyoto rather than in Tokyo: 8,410 yen
compared to 10,000 yen). If you think you can save some money buying food in a
market, you are correct only in particulars: some products in Japan cost a lot of
money no matter where you buy them. For example, white rice costs 850 yen for
1 kg in Kyoto (453 yen in Tokyo). White bread, tomatoes, chicken breasts, and
especially cheese—these are the most expensive products both in Kyoto and in
Tokyo. Speaking of accommodation, renting or buying an apartment in Kyoto is
much cheaper: for a one room apartment outside of Kyoto’s center, you must pay
48,000 yen to rent, or 300,000 yen per square meter if you want to buy it
(Numbeo.com).
Tokyo is great to visit if you enjoy hustle and bustle, if you want to feel the
heartbeat of a mega-city, dive into its life, and experience all those crazy things
people in the West usually tell about Japan. Be prepared for the overcrowded
subway— and “overcrowded” is a gentle way to put it; in fact, you can take a 60-
minute ride in the subway, and your feet will not even touch the floor, because
you will be squeezed between other people so tight that you can even take a nap
in this position. Kyoto, on the other hand, is good to visit for all those who feel
inspired by traditional Japanese culture: haiku, hanami, court customs, the No
theater, and so on. In Kyoto, you will not see amazing skyscrapers, over 280
subway stations, and the craziness of the famous Shibuya crossing; instead, get
prepared for temples, tea houses, museums: all things antique and authentic.
But, if you want modernity, go to Tokyo, and you will not feel disappointed—this

It is difficult to say which city is better for an inexperienced tourist to visit,

and is more suitable for those looking for the old Japanese culture weaved into
sophisticated palaces made during Heian-jidai. Tokyo, on the contrary, is an
enormous metropolis, with crazy prices, crazy transportation, crazy everything.

--Read the excerpt of a persuasive essay below and answer the following given
questions.
So, what makes Southeast Asia a tourism option you should consider?
(1) The first reason is the prices all across the region: they are ridiculously low.
(2) One of the first problems a backpacker needs to solve after arriving to a new
country is accommodation. (3) In Southeast Asia—almost everywhere—
accommodation is so cheap that for the money a tourist would spend on a hostel
in Europe for one week, in this region, he or she could live one month! (4) See for
yourself: if you go to Cambodia or Laos, a place in a dorm room would cost you
somewhere between $2-5 per day. (5) A night in a Vietnamese hostel will cost
you $8-10. Thailand is probably the most expensive in the list, with prices
between $6-13. (6) If you are not fond of living with a bunch of unfamiliar people,
get ready to pay only $15-20 for a private room. (7) Of course, these prices
depend on cities—larger cities and popular tourist destinations will naturally be
more expensive, but generally, throughout the entire Southeast Asia, you can
find extremely cheap accommodation easily, especially considering there is no
need to book a hostel in advance: basically, you show up and rent a room/bed in
the spot (NomadicMatt). (8) So, if you are a tourist with a limited budget,
worrying about a place to stay for a couple of weeks, Southeast Asia is your
choice: living here is more than affordable.
(9) By the way, the same refers to food. (10) Almost everywhere around
Southeast Asia you will be able to find quality street food for low prices. (11) The
price for a pack of chewing gum in the United States equals a huge portion of
filling, exotic food in Vietnam.
(12) As well as the “mainland” Asia, the region possesses ancient history and
deep culture closely interconnected with Buddhism. (13) The ruins of Angkor
Wat, Javans, Champa, pagodas of Bagan, millenary temples and shrines—all this
and much more awaits a tourist discovering this part of Asia. (14) Relics of the
past are so numerous that even if you spend a year in the region, you will
probably not be able to see all of them. (15) Along with the ancient times,
Southeast Asia has gone through intense political and military turmoils during
the recent century. (16) The war in Vietnam, the terror of the Khmer Rouge, the
destruction of Laos, Pacific navy battles, Japanese invasions—this is just a tiny
part of what was going on here not so long ago. (17) Knowing about the
hardships Southeast Asia had gone through, and witnessing its rapid
development now, watching incredible contrasts intertwine and combine, it is
difficult to not fall in love with this place. (18) Besides, if you are seeking for
cultural diversity, Southeast Asia has it all: with such a diversity of languages,
customs, ethnicities, religious beliefs, lifestyles, and fashions concentrated on
such a relatively small piece of land, your immersion in the atmosphere of this
place will be instant, deep, and impressive (Bootsnall.com).
(19) Yet another good argument for a budget tourist visiting Southeast Asia is
the convenience and affordability of transportation in the region. (20) Naturally,
when you arrive to a new country, you do not want to spend your whole time in
one city—you want to see all of what this country can offer, and this often
implies using public transport, such as trains or buses. (21) Well, booking
transportation in Southeast Asia is easier and cheaper than in many other
regions of the world; every big city is flooded with travel agencies offering their
services for almost no cost, and even getting to some distant islands is not a
problem (Goatsontheroad.com). (22) A bus is usually the cheapest way to travel
around the region: a 5-6 hours ride by a bus will cost you only $5-8. (23)
Overnight buses are somewhat more costly —$10-15 dollars, depending on
distance. (24) As for the transportation within big cities, there is only good news
for a poor tourist. (25) For example, a bust around Bangkok costs only 10 cents,
and the subway, $1. (26) The local train system of Singapore starts its pricing
from $1 as well. (27) Taxis and minibuses are usually more expensive, but it is
possible to bargain with the drivers, so you can get a price up to two times lower
than the one initially suggested by a cab owner. (Nomadicmatt.com). (28) All of
which means, in a nutshell, that you will be able to see everything you want, get
everywhere, and spend a reasonable amount of money.
(29) Southeast Asia is a unique region with ancient history, rich culture,
incredible food, and unique experiences a traveler can get from visiting it. (30)
With incredibly low accommodation prices, affordable food, and convenient
transportation, this part of Asia is a number one choice for a budget tourist. (31)
Therefore, when planning your next trip, you should definitely consider going
there.

St. Thomas Aquinas gave five proofs for God’s existence. The first two are
cosmological: there can be no uncaused cause, so the universe could not have
created itself, so there must be a first cause/prime mover, (Appiah, 2003, p. 322),
which he calls “God.” This, in my view, does not prove anything. He is saying the
universe cannot have come from nothing, but its creator can. If God is an
exception to the “no uncaused cause” rule, why cannot the universe be?
(Russell, 1927).
---The correct answer is: Counterclaim
Lord Templeman suggested that the issue of consent was irrelevant to the
question of the illegality of an action, since the latter constitutes a breach of the
peace. This traces back to high-minded English snobbery about a king needing
able-bodied soldiers. The idea seems to be that a society is more important than
its individuals. But this is, of course, erroneous, for it seems obvious, upon
reflection, that there can be nothing more sacred than individual liberty.
On the other hand, the exploitation of the system of standardized testing is
linked to a number of issues. Thus, many feel that tests do not provide accurate
evaluations of a student’s knowledge and learning capabilities, particularly due
to the fact that in order to pass a test, a simple memorization is preferred to
critical thinking and higher learning (Strong 254).
Of course, any book can be described like this; for example, the plot of “The Lord
of the Rings” can be described even in a shorter way: “Four guys go to a
dangerous land to defeat ancient evil by destroying an important artifact, and
their friends help them.” However, unlike Tolkien’s novel, Twilight has nothing to
offer to a reader except the events described in the previous paragraph. This is
ridiculous, considering four published books, some sort of online encyclopedia,
and movies.
It is equally possible many gods could exist. Furthermore, St. Thomas uses “God”
as a label for the first cause. The first cause is not necessarily the Christian God
(Dawkins, 2007, p. 101)—all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good (all-k.p.g.), or
anything God is usually considered to be.

with various eating disorders (American Pregnancy Association).
What epicness is there in a lovey-dovey story about a relationship between a
schoolgirl and a vampire? Obviously none, neither in the novel, nor in the movies

Rowling created truly vivid characters; however, not all of them revealed their
potential from the very beginning. Surprisingly, the one who truly took his time
before finally showing his personality was Harry. Whereas Ron, Hermione, Draco,
Snape, and other characters possessed vivid and readable personalities from the
very beginning, for a long time, Harry remains some kind of an “event-trigger,”
whose main goal is to move the story forward.

R. Dworkin does something rather novel and considers that, rather than being
immoral, something could be from a different moral code (1977, p. 995). This, of
course, makes perfect sense, and is what I have said already. I would even go so
far as to suggest that it is impossible to act immorally. This is another reason
morality and legality must remain separate, because, whereas illegal acts exist,
immoral ones do not.

Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
The study, "A Content Analysis of The Catalyst’s News Stories From 1986 to
2010", seeks to find out how The Catalyst, the official student publication of
Polytechnic University of the Philippines selected and treated the news articles
they have published from 1986 to 2010.
The researchers wanted to classify the news issues which The Catalyst gave
emphasis on into categories: Political, Financial/Economic, Peace and Order,
Social, Rebellion, Religious, Sports/Entertainment, Miscellaneous and Politics
within University. The researchers also sorted The Catalyst’s news articles in
terms of the following: Scope/Origin, Chronology/Sequence, Structure and
Content. Lastly, the researchers intended to determine the treatment and the
tone of the news articles.
The researchers used convenience sampling method. The researchers have
content analyzed 84 existing issues from the year 1986 up to 2010. The
researchers categorized 586 news articles from the said issues into categories
based on the criteria following the three major variables in content analysis by
Elena Pernia (2004).
Based on the observations and results of the content analysis, it was determined
that The Catalyst’s style changed from the orthodox style in 1986 to different
forms of layout in the later years. Moreover, The Catalyst transitioned from using
blue ink to mainly using black ink and later on red ink.
Moreover, the scope of The Catalyst’s news was mostly local. The student
publication usually covered events within the university. Most of the student
publication’s news stories were straight news. The news articles were mostly
treated as neutral, meaning the news were written merely as statement of
events in the simplest and most objective way. The researchers concluded that
The Catalyst has performed its duty as the official student publication of PUP
through disseminating information that would be of concern to the students and
the university.
---The correct answer is:
Abstract
The researchers used the three major variables by Pernia (2004) as basic
instrument in analyzing the news stories of The Catalyst. With each category is a
set of keywords to make the coding easier for the coders. The coders would
determine the category an article belongs to through the keywords provided.
The researchers analyzed all the news stories of each issue of The Catalyst
starting from 1986 up to 2010, with the exception of the special issues released
and the issues without dates available in the university archives. There were no
recorded issues of The Catalyst in the year 1989 and 1990 due to problems
within the publication while there were no issues for the year 1999 at the
archives during the time of the coding. News roundups and news bits in every
issue are also not included in this particular study but would focus on the stories
in the news section and sports section.
---The correct answer is: Limitations
Due to lack of job opportunities here in the Philippines, there are Filipinos who
were willing to work abroad to earn higher salary compared to the Philippines’.
These people are called OFWs or Overseas Filipino Workers. They are ready to
sacrifice their lives here in the Philippines for the sake of earning more money.
Because of this, they were referred to as “New Heroes”.
Our government is not that vocal about the progress of the country’s economy
through the help of OFWs yet they encourage more Filipinos to accept different
jobs abroad.
The OFWs’ children are the ones highly by their parent’s departure. They have to
suffer the loneliness of not having their parent/s with them.
Although they have guardians to look after them and to care for them, nothing
can compare to a parent’s love and affection.
There are laws and agencies that protect and support OFWs but the child would
not be ensured of their parent’s safety. They would be surely anxious of the
condition of their parents because of the distance that makes the young ones
worry about them.
---The correct answer is: Results
In line with this, the scope of the publication’s news articles is within the
immediate proximity which is the university and its branches. Therefore, these
findings reflect that The Catalyst does its duty as the student publication to
serve the student body, first and foremost.
The ruling quantity of news classified into spot news depicted that the
abundance of news within the local proximity were given the utmost priority by
the editorial board. Events which occurred in PUP demanded immediate
publication to easily spread the information to the rest of the university.
---The correct answer is: Conclusion
Departure of Filipinos was beneficial to the country and to the families of OFWs,
since the dollar reserve that we can get from them saved us from economic
turmoil. But let us think about the children as well, they may experience great
loneliness due to their parent’s absence.
Communication is important, considering the distance between the parent and
the child. The OFWs should communicate with their children regularly so as not
to create a distance between them. It could also help the child if the parent is
easily approachable. Imagine if communicating devices did not exist. It would be
a great suffering for both the parents and the children since snail mail, the
alternative communication, would take a long time of process just to reach the
receiver, unlike e-mail, in which the message would be sent in just a matter of
seconds.
If the parents truly care for the child, they would always make a way to extend
their love overseas to reach them through communication.
The children also need their guardians to plan “outings” and other activities that
they would all enjoy for them not to feel alone.
---The correct answer is: Recommendations
The History of Philippine Journalism
Journalism in the Philippines has gone through a number of both setbacks and
boosts. The history of Philippine journalism presented in this study is cited from
“Journalism for Filipinos” by Malinao (2003).
In the year 1637, the first Philippine Newsletter was published - the “Successos
Felices” (Fortunate Events) of Tomas Pinpin, the father of Filipino printing. Aside
from Pinpin’s one-shot fling at journalism, the “Hojas Volantes” (Flying sheets) or
Spaniards’ notice to the public, were widely distributed in the country for mass
readership.

---The correct answer is: Contact details
Questions:
1. What question does the following passage in the sample book review answer:
"The language Tolkien uses (and he was a British professor of linguistics and
philology), the aforementioned epic scales of storyline, the incredibly diverse
cultural background behind the novel—its characters, plot, described events—
this and many other factors make reading the trilogy rather an intellectual than
entertaining occupation."
---The correct answer is: Does the way a character speaks help you to
understand how that character thinks and feels? If so, how?
2. What question does the following passage in the sample book review answer:
"And the books are indeed full of awe-inspiring moments; here are just a few of
them: the first fight with the Nazguls; the battle with the ancient demon in
desolated Moria and Gandalf’s disappearance; the death of Boromir (in my
opinion, one of the most tragic moments in world literature of the 20th century);
the resurrection of Gandalf the White; the transformation of King Theoden; the
siege of Helm’s Deep; the uprising of the ents and Saruman’s exile; recruiting of
the undead army by Aragorn; the battle for Minas Tirith and the sortie to the
Black Gate of Mordor; the defeat of the Witch-King of Angmar; the annihilation of
the Ring; Aragorn’s marriage with Arwen and honors to the hobbits; finally,
Frodo’s departure to the West.
---The correct answer is: What is the high point of the story? Why is this incident
more important than the others?
3. What element does the following passage discuss in the passage from the
sample book review:
"While working on the book, Tolkien invented at least two fully functional
languages: Elven and Dwarven; he interpreted the Scandinavian myths (“The
Saga of the Nibelungs“, in particular) and used them to create his own unique
plot, world, and characters. The number of cultural and literary references used
in “The Lord of the Rings” is enormous."
---The correct answer is: Dialogue
sample book review:
"The saga tells a story unfolding around The One Ring, created and lost by
Sauron—an ancient demigod of the world of Middle Earth, and the main
antagonist of the saga."
---The correct answer is: Plot
sample book review:
"It is almost impossible to say more about the plot, because at the end of the
first book, it branches into multiple storylines."
---The correct answer is: Plot
The research is a quantitative research dealing with the computed numerical
figures from analyzing each news story. Through this, the researchers analyzed
each criterion that will determine the changes made in The Catalyst’s news
stories over the years in terms of physical changes, as well as in content.
---The correct answer is: Limitations
The researchers have coded a total of 586 news stories from The Catalyst’s
issues from the year 1986 to 2010. The table above shows that focus-wise, The
Catalyst presented a substantial amount of news articles with miscellaneous
issues taking up 26.97% of the total number of articles. As provided in the
definition of news by Bangkok Post, there are miscellaneous stories which
continually appear in the news section. In this study, these news articles are
common stories within PUP which did not fall to any of the other categories.
---The correct answer is: Results
OFW parents could influence their children in either good or bad way. Children
who have parents as overseas workers would be considered well-off in life
because of the money, not to mention, dollars sent to them. But OFWs are willing
to endure all the pains and sufferings of having their families away from them
because in the end, they are recognized by the government and by every Filipino.
Because of this, former President Corazon Aquino acknowledged their sacrifices,
efforts and contributions by referring to them as the modern heroes in the
speech she gave last 1988 to a group of domestic helpers in Hong Kong.
In honor of the OFWs who kept our country’s economy afloat as well as their
families’ lives, the Philippines celebrates December as the “Month of Overseas
Filipino Workers”, to pay tribute to them.

---The correct answer is: Significance
A review of the Twilight Saga contains the following passage:
The first and foremost question: why would a 104 year-old person fall in love with
a teenager? Theoretically, people get wiser when they get older, although reality
proves it is not necessarily so. I would understand if Edward treated Bella as an
adopted daughter, at least. But love? There is a special word for adult men
having romantic and sexual relationships with teen girls. Also, according to
folklore, vampires are sadistic, vile, and sexually-insatiable creatures, so in a
proper vampire story, exploitation and being devoured would be Bella’s only
options. But a true, clean, and romantic love? This is stupid. The only reason why
it became possible is probably because aging has negatively affected Edward’s
(and his family’s) mental capabilities. Also, why would Bella not feel scared of
knowing people who suck blood, or who can turn into savage beasts? What kind
of weird taste or fetish is that? And it is not only Bella and Edward acting weird—
Jacob, Victoria, the vampire clans, and other folks appearing in Twilight seem to
have little to no common sense, reason, or logic.

Where did the story take place and how does it relate to the story?
