For items 37-39, refer to the sample Results and Discussion in the box. The table that follows summarizes the
depression severity of the Grade 10 learners.
Total Score Frequency Percentage Depression Severity
1-4 10 19.23 minimal
5-9 15 28.85 mild
10-14 4 7.69 moderate
15-19 19 36.54 severe
20-27 4 7.69 severe
Total 52 100.00
The table shows that 19.23% of the learners are suffering from minimal depression, 28.85% from mild
depression, 7.69% from moderate depression, 36.54% from moderately severe depression and 7.69% from
severe depression. Based from the results there are 51.92% of the Grade 10 learners who are suffering from
at least moderate depression. This result is alarming since according to dNet (n.d) when M diagnosed with at
least moderate depression, he/she is advised to seek medical attention and take medicines to prevent feeling
depressed. If appropriate intervention is not made, learners suffering from moderate depression can cause
problems at home or at work and even affect their social life. While learners suffering from moderately severe
or severe depression are more life threatening (Signs and Symptoms of Mild, Moderate, and Severe
Depression, n.d.). People with major or severe depression is recommended to consult with a professional like
a doctor to avoid dangerous scenarios just like suicide. Also, once a person has this issue, it is advisable to
take action to avoid symptoms that may harm the person or even other people. There are numerous causes of
depression. May it be family problems, abuse, or happenings from the past, and even personality. However, a
common cause is due to stress. The Filipinos may be known for their avid happy faces and smiles, but the
second most stressed-out country is the Philippines in 2018 (Cabico, G., April 26, 2019). Students also suffer
from stress. According to Dy, M., et.al, academics and workload turned out as top stressors of college.

______37. Which of the following is not a result of the research study?

A. 0% Grade 10 learners are suffering from depression.

C. 7.69% Grade 10 learners are suffering from severe depression.
D. 36.54% Grade 10 learners are suffering from moderately severe depression.
______38. Based from the results, which of the following is the conclusion?
A. No Grade 10 learners is suffering from depression.
B. Majority of the Grade 10 learners are suffering from mild depression.
C. Majority of the Grade 10 learners are suffering from moderate depression or moderately severe
depression or severe depression.
D. Majority of the Grade 10 learners are not suffering from alarming type of depression.
______39. From the results, which of the following could be a recommendation for the school?
A. Since no Grade 10 learner is suffering from depression, then the school would continue doing
their practices concerning students.
B. Since most of the Grade 10 leaners are suffering from mild depression, then the school can
introduce programs to prevent these from increasing
their depression severity.
C. Since most of the Grade 10 learners are suffering from at least moderate depression severity then
the school should identify who are these learners and
personally advise them to seek for professional help. In addition, the school should introduce
programs for the learners to lessen their depression severity.
D. Since most of the Grade learners are suffering from severe depression severity then they should
be advised to stop going to school to have time to seek for
professional help.
______40. Which of the following is NOT a reason for citing references in writing a research manuscript?
