Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he
attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for
a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per
week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably take four or five courses during each
semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to
spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one
university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows, a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available
for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in
spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student
organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by
students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken rules, for example, by
cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system
does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much
respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

Competition
Rivalry among business and service industries is called competition. This feature of a market economy
encourages business to improve their good and services, keep their prices affordable, and offer new products to
attract more buyers.
There are four basic types of competition in business that form a continuum from pure competition through
monopolistic competition and oligopoly to monopoly. At one end of the continuum, pure competition results when
every company has a similar product. Companies that deal in commodities such as wheat or corn are often
involved in pure competition. In Pure Competition, it is often the ease and efficiency of distribution that influences
purchase.
In contrast, in monopolistic competition, several companies may compete for the sale of items that may be
substituted. The classic example of monopolistic competition is coffee and tea. If the price of one is perceived as
too high, consumers may begin to purchase the other. Coupons and other discounts are often used as part of a
marketing strategy to influence sales.
Oligopoly occurs when a few companies dominate the sales of a product or service. For example, only five
airline carriers control more than 70 percent of all ticket sales in the United States. In oligopoly, serious
competition is not considered desirable because it would result in reduced revenue for every company in the
group. Although price wars do occur, in which all companies offer substantial savings to customers, a somewhat
similar tendency to raise prices simultaneously is also usual.
Finally, monopoly occurs when only one firm sells the product. Some monopolies have been tolerated for
producers of goods and services that have been considered basic or essential, including electricity and water. In
these cases, it is government control, rather than competition, that protects and influences sales.

A. Monopolies B. The Commodity Market

Question 39: What does the author mean by the following statement: “Although price wars do occur, in which all
companies offer substantial savings to customers, a somewhat similar tendency to raise prices simultaneously is
also usual?”
A. Customers may love money when companies have price wars
B. It is common for companies to compare for customers by lowering prices.
C. It is not unusual for all companies to increase prices at the same time.
D. Prices are lower during price wars, but they are usually higher afterward.
