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 636 to 640.

The concept of urban farming, growing food in cities, has gained significant traction in recent years. With increasing populations and limited space, traditional agriculture is facing challenges in meeting the demand for fresh produce. Urban farming offers a potential solution by utilizing rooftops, vertical spaces, and even abandoned buildings for cultivation.

One popular method is hydroponics, where plants are grown without soil in nutrient-rich water solutions. This method allows for efficient use of space and water, making it ideal for urban environments. Another approach is aquaponics, which combines aquaculture raising fish and hydroponics. The fish waste provides nutrients for the plants, creating a symbiotic ecosystem.

Urban farms not only contribute to food security but also offer numerous environmental benefits. They reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting food from rural areas to cities. Additionally, they can help mitigate the urban heat island effect by providing cooling vegetation. Furthermore, urban farming can foster community engagement and education about sustainable food practices.

However, challenges remain. Setting up and maintaining urban farms can be costly, and expertise in specialized techniques like hydroponics and aquaponics is required. Additionally, ensuring consistent production and distribution can be complex. Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of urban farming make it a promising approach to addressing food security and environmental sustainability in urban areas.

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 641 to 645.

Choosing a career is a significant decision that can shape an individual’s future. The right career brings not only financial security but also personal satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment. However, finding the perfect job is not always easy, and many people struggle with this decision. While some individuals follow their childhood dreams, others explore different fields before settling on a profession that suits their skills and interests.

One important factor in career selection is self-awareness. Understanding one’s strengths, weaknesses, and preferences helps in making an informed decision. Some people are naturally inclined toward creative jobs, while others excel in logical or technical fields. This is why career counseling and self-assessment tests are often recommended to help individuals gain clarity about their abilities and interests.

Another crucial aspect to consider is market demand. Some professions offer high salaries and job stability, while others may be more competitive or have fewer opportunities. In today’s rapidly changing economy, technological advancements have transformed many industries, leading to the creation of new job roles while making some traditional ones obsolete. As a result, individuals who continuously develop new skills are more likely to succeed in their careers.

Ultimately, the best career choice is one that aligns with both personal interests and professional opportunities. People who find a balance between passion and practicality tend to experience greater job satisfaction and long-term success. While no job is perfect, being adaptable and open to learning can significantly improve career prospects.
