Directions: Arrange the following set of sentences to form a

pressures within our modern world have caused the rapid growth in
the crime rate.

poor home may run a greater risk of being involved in crimes as he
reaches adolescence.
D. If a child is reared in a negative environment, he may be more likely
to turn to crime than a child who has had more positive influences.

2. (Excerpt from Andres Bonifacio’s “To The Brave Sons Of The People”

in fighting against the Spanish enemy is the clearest proof that you

cowardice and base conduct by torturing and killing multitudes of our
non-combatant people.

our women without regard to their weakness, the murder of the old
and of helpless infants – these acts are not those of any man of honor
and courage.

7. A. The BBC’s current television version starring Benedict

Cumberbatch is perhaps one of the most successful, not least as its
scriptwriters combine a deep knowledge of the original with a flair for
departing wittily from it: the show’s strategy of allusion,
 transformation, and up-to-datedness gives it both freshness and
familiarity.
B. Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes saga has enjoyed -- or in some
cases suffered – countless reinventions since its original publication
from 1887 to 1927.
C. The new series begins with ‘The Empty Hearse’, its title alluding
playfully to Conan Doyle’s 1903 story ‘The Empty House’ in which
Holmes returns from apparent death at the hands of Professor
Moriarty in Switzerland.

9. A. He greatly enjoyed the poems of Victorian writers such as Alfred,

Lord Tennyson, and Christina Rossetti.
B. Probably his best known is called “Jabberwocky,” with its opening
line of “’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves…”, and its many invented
words, some that have now entered the English language, such as
“chortle” and “galumph”.
C. Although best known as the author of Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871), Lewis

Directions: Read the passages and answer the questions that follow.
For questions 41-44: Between us there was, as I have already said
somewhere, the bond of the sea. Besides holding our hearts together
through long periods of separation, it had the effect of making us tolerant of
each other's yarns-and even convictions. The Lawyer-the best of old fellows-
had, because of his many years and many virtues, the only cushion on deck,
and was lying on the only rug. The accountant had already brought out a box
of dominoes and was toying architecturally with the bones. Marlow sat
cross-legged right aft, leaning against the mizzenmast. He had sunken
cheeks, a yellow complexion, a straight back, an ascetic aspect, and, with his
arms dropped, the palms of hands outwards, resembled an idol. The
Director, satisfied the anchor had a good hold, made his way aft and sat
down amongst us. We exchanged a few words lazily. Afterwards there was
silence on board the yacht. For some reason or other we did not begin that
game of dominoes. We felt meditative and fit for nothing but placid staring.
The day was ending in a serenity of still and exquisite brilliance. The water
shone pacifically; the sky, without a speck, was a benign immensity of
unstained light; the very mist on the Essex marshes was like a gauzy and
radiant fabric, hung from the wooded rises inland, and draping the low
shores in diaphanous folds. Only the gloom to the west, brooding over the
upper reaches, became more somber every minute, as if angered by the
approach of the sun. And at last, in its curved and imperceptible fall, the sun
sank low, and from glowing white changed to a dull red without rays and
without heat, as if about to go out suddenly, stricken to death by the touch
of that gloom brooding over a crowd of men. From ‘The Heart of Darkness’,
by Joseph Conrad.

41. The narrator of this passage is telling his story from:

1. a wharf.
2. the deck of a yacht.
3. a high vantage point.
4. the edge of the Essex marshes.

42. The mood of the men in this passage is best described as:
1. surly.
2. resigned.
3. contemplative.
4. restless.
5. ecstatic.

43. From the passage, it is clear that the men:

1. do not get along.
2. show a quiet understanding.
3. cannot be bothered with one another.
4. have just had a quarrel.
5. are worn out.
