Independence is a fundamental aspect of personal growth and self-determination. It refers to the
ability to make decisions, take actions, and assume responsibility for one’s own life without relying
excessively on others. Independence encompasses both physical and emotional autonomy, allowing
individuals to navigate life on their own terms and pursue their goals and aspirations.
In terms of physical independence, it involves being self-sufficient and capable of meeting one's
basic needs without relying on external assistance. This includes tasks such as managing finances, taking
care of daily chores, and being able to provide for oneself. Physical independence empowers individuals
to live independently, make their own choices, and take control of their lives. Emotional independence,
on the other hand, relates to having a strong sense of self and being able to regulate one's emotions and
well-being without depending on others for validation or support. It involves cultivating self-confidence,
resilience, and the ability to make decisions based on personal values and beliefs. Emotional
independence allows individuals to maintain healthy relationships, set boundaries, and assert their needs
and desires.
While independence is highly valued, it is important to acknowledge that no one is entirely
independent. We are social beings who thrive on connections and interdependence with others.
Interactions and collaborations with family, friends, and communities contribute to our growth and well-
being. However, striking a balance between independence and interdependence is crucial. It allows
individuals to maintain their autonomy and make decisions that align with their values, while also
fostering healthy relationships and recognizing the importance of mutual support.

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 34 to 40.
Ecosystems are intricate and interconnected systems that encompass all living organisms and their
physical environment. These diverse ecosystems, ranging from rainforests to coral reefs, play a vital role
in sustaining life on Earth and providing essential services to human societies.
A key characteristic of ecosystems is their delicate balance. Each component, whether it be plants,
animals, microorganisms, or abiotic factors like water and soil, interacts with others in a complex web of
relationships. These interactions create a dynamic equilibrium that allows the ecosystem to thrive and
maintain its functionality.
One crucial aspect of ecosystems is biodiversity. The variety of species within an ecosystem
contributes to its resilience and adaptability. A diverse range of plants and animals ensures that if one
species is affected by a disturbance, others can step in and fulfill similar ecological roles, preventing
catastrophic collapses. Unfortunately, human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and
overexploitation of resources have led to a decline in biodiversity, disrupting the balance and stability of
many ecosystems.
Another fundamental concept in understanding ecosystems is the flow of energy and nutrients.
Producers, such as plants and algae, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. This energy is
then transferred through the food chain as herbivores eat plants, and carnivores eat herbivores.
Decomposers break down dead organisms, returning nutrients to the soil for the next generation of plants.
This interconnected flow of energy and nutrients is vital for the functioning and sustainability of the
ecosystem.
Question 34. What is the title of the passage?
A. The Importance of Biodiversity in Ecosystems
B. The Role of Producers in Ecosystems
C. Understanding the Ecosystems
D. Human Impact on Coral Reefs
Question 35. According to the passage, what is the role of decomposers in an ecosystem?
A. Convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
B. Break down dead organisms and return nutrients to the soil.
C. Fulfill similar ecological roles as herbivores.
D. Interact with abiotic factors like water and soil.
Question 36. The word "thrive” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. prosper B. regress C. diminish D. struggle
Question 37. The word "its” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. species' B. ecosystem's C. biodiversity’s D. crucial aspect’s
Question 38. The word "decline" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. dwindling B. advancement C. commencement D. multiplication
Question 39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Human activities have led to a decline in biodiversity in many ecosystems.
B. Ecosystems are composed of living organisms and their physical environment.
C. Producers convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
D. Overexploitation can enhance the resilience of ecosystems through reproduction.
Question 40. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Coral reefs are not important for sustaining life on Earth.
B. Human activities have no impact on the balance and stability of ecosystems.
C. The interconnected flow of energy and nutrients is crucial for ecosystem sustainability.
D. Biodiversity has no effect on an ecosystem's resilience and adaptability.
