B. December-May D. October-December
16. Your classmate explained that there is a relationship between our latitude position and high diversity of life
forms in the country. Do you agree with your classmate?
A. Yes, because the Philippines is surrounded with oceans and large bodies of water.
B. No, because our latitude position has no connection with high diversity of life forms.
C. No, because there is no relationship between our latitude position and high diversity of life forms.
D. Yes, because the Philippines is near the equator where there is sunshine all year round and rainfall is
abundant.
17. Before the pandemic, students go to school on daytime and sleep at nighttime. What do you think causes
day and night?
A. Earth is tilted. C. Earth revolves around the sun
B. Earth rotates on its axis. D. Sun is the center of the universe
18. Why do seasons change?
A. Because the Earth is tilted.
B. Because the Sun is at the center.

19. During certain months, the days become short while the nights grown longer. But during other months, the
opposite occurs. What will happen if the daytime is longer than the nighttime?
A. It results to summer.
B. It results to cold months.
