Read the following passage about the influence of media on public opinion and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Media plays a powerful, arguably unavoidable, role in shaping public opinion. Newspapers, television broadcasts, websites, social media platforms, and other forms of media constantly present information to the public. This information, whether intentionally biased or not, influences how people perceive current events, social issues, and even political candidates. The sheer volume of information, images, and opinions circulating through media channels shapes the lens through which individuals interpret the world around them.

Consider the impact of televised debates during an election. A candidate's performance, including their demeanor, speaking style, and ability to articulate their points, can significantly influence public perception. A study by the Pew Research Center found that 84% of voters in the 2020 US Presidential election said that the debates were at least somewhat important in helping them decide who to vote for. This demonstrates the power of media, in this case, televised debates, to sway public opinion on matters of great social and political significance.

Furthermore, the selection of which stories are covered, and how they are framed, significantly impacts public perception. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Communication found that news coverage of crime can influence people's fear of crime, even if actual crime rates are declining. If a news outlet consistently highlights violent crime, viewers may perceive the world as a more dangerous place than it actually is, regardless of statistical data.

The rise of social media has only intensified media's influence. Algorithms, designed to keep users engaged, often create echo chambers where individuals are primarily exposed to information that confirms their existing biases. This creates a polarized information landscape where differing viewpoints are rarely presented or considered, further reinforcing pre-existing beliefs and potentially hindering constructive dialogue on important issues.

  1. News outlets avoid framing stories in ways that could impact public perception.
  2. The way news stories are chosen and presented greatly influences how the public perceives events.
  3. The public's perception is only slightly affected by news selection and presentation.
  4. Public perception is formed independently of how news stories are selected or presented.

Read the following passage about the impact of human activities on marine life and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

Understanding human impact on marine life is crucial for preserving the health of our oceans. [I] Human activities, ranging from overfishing to pollution, are significantly altering marine ecosystems. [II] One prominent example is the issue of bycatch, where non-target species are inadvertently caught and killed during fishing operations. [III] This practice wipes out vast populations of marine animals, including sea turtles, dolphins, and seabirds, disrupting the delicate balance of the food web. [IV]

Coastal development also poses a considerable threat to marine life. Construction of ports, resorts, and residential areas often leads to habitat destruction and increased pollution. Runoff from these developments carries pollutants like fertilizers and pesticides into the ocean. These chemicals can cause algal blooms, which deplete oxygen levels in the water, creating "dead zones" where marine life cannot survive. Sediment from construction can also smother coral reefs and seagrass beds, which serve as vital nurseries and habitats for many species.

The pervasive issue of plastic pollution represents a significant and long-lasting challenge for marine environments. Millions of tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, entangling marine animals, disrupting their digestive systems, and introducing harmful chemicals into the food chain. Larger pieces of plastic break down into microplastics, which are ingested by even the smallest marine organisms, potentially affecting the entire marine ecosystem. From the tiniest plankton to the largest whales, plastic pollution poses a universal threat.

Addressing these complex issues requires a multi-faceted approach. Implementing sustainable fishing practices, reducing pollution from land-based sources, and promoting responsible waste management are all crucial steps toward mitigating human impact on marine life. International cooperation and public awareness campaigns are essential for fostering a sense of responsibility and encouraging global action to protect our oceans and the incredible diversity of life they support.

Question 31

Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?

  3. obliterates
  4. eliminates

  2. Runoff
  3. Construction
  4. Sediment

Question 35

Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?

  1. Plastic entering the oceans harms marine life through entanglement, chemical contamination, and ingestion.
  2. Marine animals face a universal threat from plastics due to ingestion and digestion issues.
  3. Plastic pollution pervasively threatens marine life, from ingestion and entanglement to chemical contamination via microplastics.
  4. Microplastics endanger all marine life due to entanglement and subsequent digestive issues.

Question 36

The word "long-lasting" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________.

  1. temporary
  2. fleeting
  3. transient
  4. ephemeral

Question 37

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  1. Coastal development helps increase oxygen levels in the ocean, benefiting marine life.
  2. Bycatch is a fishing practice that targets specific marine species for conservation.
  3. Plastic pollution solely affects large marine animals, such as whales and dolphins.
  4. Human activities like coastal development and overfishing negatively affect marine ecosystems.

Question 38

Which of the following best paraphrases the first sentence in paragraph 4?

  1. Managing these difficult problems involves a multipronged tactic.
  2. Solving these intricate issues necessitates a varied approach.
  3. Tackling these multifaceted problems demands a comprehensive strategy.
  4. Confronting such convoluted matters requires a diverse solution.

Question 39

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

  1. A global effort is necessary to effectively address the threats to marine life.
  2. Marine life is most threatened by plastic pollution due to its widespread impact.
  3. Current fishing practices are sustainable and do not contribute to marine ecosystem decline.
  4. Individual actions have little impact on the overall health of marine ecosystems.

Question 40

Which of the following best summarises the passage?

  1. Marine ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable due to human-induced pressures like overfishing, chemical runoff, and plastic accumulation, emphasizing the importance of responsible waste management and sustainable development for ocean preservation.
  2. Human activities, including overfishing, coastal development, and plastic pollution, severely threaten marine ecosystems, necessitating a multifaceted approach involving sustainable practices and global cooperation for effective conservation.
  3. The health of our oceans faces significant threats from human actions such as bycatch, habitat destruction, and plastic debris, demanding immediate global action to implement sustainable practices and protect marine biodiversity.
  4. Overfishing, pollution from coastal development, and pervasive plastic waste endanger marine life, highlighting the urgent need for international cooperation and public awareness to mitigate these detrimental impacts.
