Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
As customers choose brands based on how they make them feel, rather than their actual products or services, there is an
intrinsic advantage to those organizations who use designed experiences as a weapon to cut through the most competitive
of markets. Those that don’t, operate in what we call the “experience gap”, the space between them and their customer’s
expectation of them. Make no mistake, in our high paced and digitally connected economies, the experience gap is
driving markets, fast.
For example, take Instagram and Twitter. These brands filled the demand for a whole new human experience that did not
exist before the evolution of digital technologies enabled that. They were pioneers, and there were no established players
to unseat. But we are also seeing a similar dynamic in existing industries. New entrants are coming in and taking the
space, also using whole new experiences, purely because the incumbents left the door open.
Closer to home, this can be seen with Australian neobanks who are giving customers a better experience than the
incumbents. Robert Bell is the CEO at neobank 86400. He says banking has already become quite complicated and he
wanted to make a change. His neobank is working to solve customers’ problems more holistically. Bell said, “It’s
significantly harder work and takes more time to become a bank, but having done that we can have a much better
relationship with our customers and we can offer them a lot more products and services.”
Think about that for a moment. Do you notice how better experiences, leads to better relationships, which is then
the stepping stone for more offerings? Many brands still jump straight to modified offerings, without gaining that
customer connection and the necessary foundation of trust first.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off. A new survey
from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen friendships—and the
results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of
those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day texting with
friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis (outside of school
hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day —27 percent of teens
instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat
daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication —almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen
method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining friendships) in
the gaming world—89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-only friends. Whether they're
close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that playing makes them feel "more connected" to
friends they know, or gamers they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity—62 percent of teens are
quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although 80 percent still consider their
phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences—21 percent of teenage users feel worse
about their lives because of posts they see on social media—teens also have found support and connection through
various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a challenging time in their lives via social media
platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with current friends, it can
also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely to block or unfriend former
allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their friends on social media."
