Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
The increase in urbanization causes different problems. Air and water pollution are amongst the major
issues we have to tackle.
In the first page, cars, factories, and burning waste emit dangerous gases that change the air quality in our
cities and pose threats to our health. Dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides cause
respiratory diseases, for instance, bronchitis and asthma. These are also proven to have long-term effects
on the environment.
Furthermore, with the increased population, it becomes difficult to manage the waste generated in cities.
Most of the waste is discharged or dumped into rivers or onto streets. The waste pollutes water and makes
it unfit for human consumption. Subsequently, it becomes more and more difficult for city dwellers to get
clean water. Some cities in Africa are unable to provide adequate water supply because most of the water
is lost in pipe leakages. In fact, most city dwellers in developing countries are forced to boil their water or
to buy bottled water, which is very expensive.
There are several actions that could be taken to eradicate the problems described above. Firstly, a simple
solution would be joining community efforts to address problems affecting your city. Ask your parents,
friends, and relatives to join in as well. These efforts might include clean-up campaigns, recycling
projects, and a signature campaign to ask the government to do something about these problems and to
discuss how young people can help to solve them.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Education is fundamental to shaping individuals and driving societal progress. While opinions differ on
its primary purpose, the debate often centers around two key perspectives: workforce preparation and
fostering critical thinking alongside civic responsibility. This article explores these viewpoints and make
the case for a more holistic approach to education.
[I] Advocates for vocational training emphasize its role in equipping students with practical skills needed
for various professions. [II] Vocational training and higher education programs equip students with the
technical knowledge needed for various professions, thus enhancing their employability. [III] For
instance, degrees in fields such as engineering, medicine, and information technology often lead to high-
demand careers with lucrative salaries. By prioritizing workforce readiness, educational institutions can
contribute to economic growth and stability, ultimately benefiting society as a whole [IV] .
Conversely, focusing solely on vocational training overlooks the broader purpose of education, which
should include fostering critical thinking and civic engagement. Education should not only prepare
individuals for jobs but also cultivate informed citizens who can contribute to democratic processes and
social change. Programs that encourage critical analysis, creativity, and ethical reasoning are essential for
developing well- rounded individuals. For example, courses in the humanities and social sciences
promote empathy and understanding of diverse perspectives, which are crucial for navigating complex
societal issues. By emphasizing these skills, education can empower individuals to become proactive
members of their communities.
To ensure that education benefits both individuals and society, a balanced approach is essential. While
preparing individuals for the workforce is an important aspect of education, it should not be the sole
focus. A balanced approach that encompass vocational training alongside the cultivation of critical
thinking and civic responsibility is essential for fostering a well-informed and engaged citizenry. By
embracing this holistic perspective, educational institutions can better serve both individuals and
society, ultimately leading to a mere equitable and prosperous future. This dual focus will enable
education to act as a catalyst for personal development and societal advancement in the 21st century.
