and meeting facilities for up to 2000 people, and a 24-hour business centre.

Bangkok the business district and main shopping areas are mere minutes away.

Questions 25 to 26 are based on the following passage

Passage A
School is necessary because it, first, makes communication with diverse people
essential,as parents do not choose where their children go, and secondly, homeschooling
andextracurricular activities connected to it cannot bring that diversity, for the attending
groupis self-selecting, rather than ‘unfiltered mixture’. I believe that none of the two
assumptions is warranted nor true .
In the first place, parents still select schools for their children on the basis of com
mon values,cultures and achievements. As such, public schools then offer obvious
misrepresentations ofthe society.
Not only that, I think it’s non-sense that homeschooling should somehow get rid
ofdiversity from socialization in sports teams or other clubs. What members of a
basketball teamor a debate club share is not race, religion, nor income bracket: it is the
desire to participate.

Passage B
Children can perhaps be best described as beings of potential during their school
s years.Each child is in the process of discovering their talents and having them be cared
for in anattempt to best reach self-actualization. 
 25. The common theme underlying both passages above is ….
a. Arguments against home school education practices.
b. Evidence of several problems with homeschooling.
c. Reasons why homeschooling should be eliminated.
d. Failure which is associated with homeschooling.
e. Formal school and home school education.

26. Which of the following statements reflects a fact metioned in either passage above?
a. Joining a social club is a matter of wish to participate.
b. Interacting with other individuals is very important.
c. Children are individuals with inborn capacity.
d. Sports teams are a form of social unit.
