A stage in writing where you look for any mechanical errors. Select one: a. Writing b. Rereading c.
Revising d. Writing the final draft e. Editing ---- 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 first representation of the scene appears in a Frankfurt edition of 1648, in which
the windmill sail stabs Don Quixote. What type of description is used in the paragraph? The correct

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? The correct
answer is: First person ---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 selfconsciousness 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. (Source:

The essay does not imply so. 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.

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 which the main difference between them is the amount of money that
governments apply in important sectors such as education, health and 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 continue
indefinitely unless wealthier nations show interest in minimizing the 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 and different purpose. (B) Today, these lands can be planted to
palay during off-season. (C) They are being harnessed to water rice field along the shores which are idle
during the dry season. (D) Fish abound in its waters and its shores have been favorable breeding ground
for ducks. (E) Laguna de Bay has, for centuries, been a major source of livelihood for people living along
its shores. The correct answer is: E, C, A, B, D 6. Which among the set of sentences is most appropriate to
be the 4th sentence? (A) Yet allergies remain a mystery that is only partially understood and only partially
treatable. (B) Still others are in trouble if they accidentally eat honey, chocolate, or water chestnuts. (C)

definitely how allergies develop or why some people have them and others do not. (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 placed these
people in a garden of Eden, where the means of subsistence are 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 the tropical climate and the liberality
of nature. (E) Such may seem the case, but foreign critics are interpreting it as a manifestation of racial
laziness. The correct answer is: B 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. B. The correct
answer is: Arrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph. 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

C. The correct answer is: 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 Read the given paragraph below: 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. - See more at:

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 The correct answer is: Denotation ----True or
False: The rising action refers to events caused by the climax. The correct answer is: False .----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: 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? The correct
answer is: Kyoto ------True or False: Descriptive paragraphs may or may not appeal to the five senses of

he/she presented in the essay. --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. QUESTIONS: Give the number of the sentence that conveys what

To a casual observer, the men and women working in the newsroom may appear to be running about
aimlessly amid the clatter of typewriters and the continually ringing telephones. Actually, the scurrying

and savor the text you're reading in order to critically analyze it. ---The correct answer is: True It's
deemed irrelevant to consider other points of view other than what the text presents. ---The correct answer
is: False 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. ---The correct answer is:
Counterclaim 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). ---The correct answer is: Counterclaim 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. ---The
correct answer is: Counterclaim 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)—allknowing, all-powerful, and all-good (all-k.p.g.), or anything God is usually considered
to be. ---The correct answer is: Assertion - fact Insomnia affects not only the mind, but also the body in
ways no less devastating; specifically, according to a study conducted by the University of Chicago, sleep
deprivation is closely connected to the reduced control of blood-sugar levels. ---The correct answer is:
Assertion - fact Insomnia, or sleep deprivation, is a dangerous condition leading to a wide range of health
problems. ---The correct answer is: Claim Studying is a necessity rather than a privilege. ---The correct
answer is: Claim A woman who has undergone the abortion procedure may develop such persistent
symptoms as shame, a sense of isolation, a loss of self-confidence and/or trust in other people,
nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidal thoughts. As an unpleasant bonus, these symptoms
can be accompanied with various eating disorders (American Pregnancy Association). ---The correct
answer is: Assertion - fact 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—it is simply a
marketing turn aimed at making the source look like something more worthwhile than it is. ---The correct

Research questions/hypothesis The step in writing a research report wherein you formulate questions
related to the topic. ---The correct answer is: planning the research 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. ---The

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. ---The correct answer is: Assertion - fact What did the main idea of the

What guide question did it answer? ---The correct answer is: What is the conflict of the story? You must
have an interest in the book you're analyzing. ---The correct answer is: True After reading the book, that's
when to take notes of what you have read. ---The correct answer is: False This is where you identify the
climax of the story. ---The correct answer is: plot 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 Identify the part of the research report where the
following passage falls: 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 correct answer is: Methods Identify the part of the research report where
the following passage falls: 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 Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
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 Identify the part of the
research report where the following passage falls: 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 Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
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 email, 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 Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls: 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: Review of

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 4. What element does the following passage

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 5. What element does the following passage discuss
in the passage from the 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 Identify the
part of the research report where the following passage falls: 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
Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls: 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 Identify the part of the
research report where the following passage falls: 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: Introduction Questions: 1.

prone areas or are affected financially when earthquakes occur." ---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. What guide question did it answer? ---The correct answer is: What is the weakness of the
