DIRECTIONS: Identify what kind of text type is the following paragraph. Encircle the
letter of the correct answer.
1. Researchers have used cryogenic electron microscopy to show that coronaviruses enter
human cells through an interaction with angiotensin- converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
Scientists exploring how coronaviruses like COVID-19 infect human cells have shown that
the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein binds to the cell membrane protein angiotensin-
converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter human cells. COVID-19 has been shown to bind to
ACE2 via the S protein on its surface. During infection, the S protein is cleaved into
subunits, S1 and S2. S1 contains the receptor binding domain (RBD) which allows
coronaviruses to directly bind to the peptidase domain (PD) of ACE2. S2 then likely plays
a role in membrane fusion.
What is the purpose of the text?
a. explain how Covid-19 enters human cell.

Pasay City is considered the gateway to the Philippines by air. The Ninoy Aquino
International Airport lies within its confines. Within its limited area of only 19 square
kilometers live 386,702 residents. Squeezed into it are five colleges and universities, seven
flying schools and public and private hospitals.
Pasay has had a long and colorful history. In pre Spanish time, Rajah Soliman
named it after his daughter, princess Pasay. A greater part of Pasay formed part of
Nanayan, now St. Ana, a trading upstream along the Pasig River.
In 1727 Pasay was annexed to malate to provide easier access to the Malate Parish.
It was also at this time that Pasay was named Pineda, a Spanish landowner of the place
who provided protection for the town people. At that time marauding brigands attacked and
victimized many residents.
Pasay has grown by accretion. On October 12, 1903, the Municipality of Malibay,
earlier created on Feb. 2, 1889, was annexed to the Municipality of Pasay. Then ,on January
1,1942 Pasay was incorporated into greater Manila.
After the Second World War . In 1945 , Pasay reverted as a Municipality of Rizal province.
On August 16,1947, it became a city by virtue of Republic Act No. 183 and was
renamed Rizal City. But three years later in 1950, it reverted to its former name Pasay City.
Pasay City celebrated its 130th anniversary on December 2, 1993, as a pueblo or
town, for it was on this day 130 years ago when civil and ecclesiastical
authorities allowed the residents to manage their political and religious affairs. Now Pasay
City contributes much of the country’s prosperity and progress.
