5. Read the text below and answer the questions.

There is no doubt that the Mona Lisa is a very good painting. It was highly
regarded even as Leonardo worked on it, and his contemporaries copied the then
novel three-quarter pose. The writer Giorgio Vasari later extolled Leonardo’s ability
to closely imitate nature. Indeed, the Mona Lisa is a very realistic portrait. The
subject’s softly sculptural face shows Leonardo’s skillful handling of sfumato, an
 artistic technique that uses subtle gradations of light and shadow to model form, and
shows his understanding of the skull beneath the skin. The delicately painted veil, the
finely wrought tresses, and the careful rendering of folded fabric reveal Leonardo’s
studied observations and inexhaustible patience. And, although the sitter’s steady gaze
and restrained smile were not regarded as mysterious until the 19th century, viewers
today can appreciate her equivocal expression. Leonardo painted a complex figure
that is very much like a complicated human.

Bengal tiger, (subspecies Panthera tigris tigris), subspecies of tiger (Pantheria
tigris) inhabiting the forests, and wetlands of India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal.
The Bengal tiger’s appearance is distinguished from other tiger subspecies by its
orange coat accented by prominent brownish-to-black stripes; a rare white-coated
variant of the subspecies also exists. It rivals the Siberian tiger in size, and most
experts consider the Bengal tiger to be the world’s second largest tiger. While some
2,000–2,500 remain in the wild, several thousand more are thought to reside in zoos
and private reserves around the world.

Indonesia always aspires to be a great nation as “Indonesia Raya”, the title of the
national anthem, suggests. Now it is well on its way to become one. Its global profile
is growing, earning accolades such accolades as the world’s third largest democracy,
the largest democracy in the Muslim world and economically, on the current
trajectory, it is rising in ranking, from the 16th largest economy to becoming the
world’s top five in the next 20 years. But while rising as a middle power, a great
sporting nation Indonesia is not likely to be. This year, Indonesia forfeited the chance
to host two major international events that could have put it on the global sports map.
The international soccer federation FIFA stripped Indonesia of the right to host the
Under-20 World Cup in May/June. Last week, the Association of National Olympics
Committee (ANOC) canceled the World Beach Games that was to take place in Bali
in August. Indonesia’s global ranking in sports is already low as it is. In the Tokyo
Olympics last year, it came 59th in the medals’ tally. It came 10th in the 2018 Asian
Games but this was helped by the fact that it was hosting it. More indicative of its
position in the region were the 2014 Games in South Korea, when it came 17th. In
Southeast Asia, Indonesia struggled and came third, behind Vietnam and Thailand, in
this year’s South East Asian (SEA) Games in Cambodia.

The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway (HSR) is not the type of project that
deserves a subsidy regardless of the government’s concern that it may be difficult to
attract enough ridership to keep the business alive and sustainable. Kereta Cepat
Indonesia China (KCIC), the consortium responsible for the high-speed railway, has
proposed a ticket fare of around Rp 250,000 (US$16.31) for the early years of its
operation, on par with the second most expensive fare for regular train Argo
Parahyangan plying the same route, and below the initial, non-subsidized price of Rp
350,000. With that ticket price, the high-speed train is destined to serve middle and high-
income groups and is geared toward business trips. According to Transportation Law No.
22/2009 business trips are outside the classification for services that are entitled to a
subsidy, which in fact is covered by taxpayers’ money. Pouring more taxpayers’ money
to subsidize high-speed train passengers, who do not in need of a subsidy, constitutes yet
another betrayal on the part of the government. When launching the project in 2015,
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo made it clear the high-speed railway would not involve
the state budget, saying it would follow a business-to-business (B2B) cooperation
scheme. Yet in 2021, the government broke that promise by allowing the involvement of
the state budget through a state capital injection (PMN) and a government guarantee to
ensure the project could be finished in time along with the necessary Chinese debts it
would occur.

If you haven't heard of BTS yet, it's a prime time to get familiar—because the seven-
member South Korean boy band has sky rocketed to the top of the music world since
their debut in 2013.
In the seven years since they came on the music scene, BTS's list of accomplishments
is ever-growing. They are the first K-pop band to top the U.S. album charts, according to
the BBC, and their star power doesn't stop there. The group has already won major
accolades at the American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Billboard Music
Awards, and South Korea's Melon Music Awards. In addition, the group became the first
Korean act to perform at the Grammys when they lent their star power to the awards
show in January 2020, joining Lil Nas X for a performance of "Old Town Road."
