Question 13:

a.        Maria: Exactly! My grandmother says we're losing our own stories because Netflix doesn't make shows about our culture. Everything looks like Hollywood now.

b.        Maria: I'm worried because my cousin in Brazil stopped listening to Brazilian music. She only listens to what's trending on Spotify from America.

c.        David: I know what you mean! The same thing is happening here. Facebook and Instagram decide what we see every day, so everyone starts thinking the same way.

A. b-a-c                                                B. a-c-b                                                C. c-b-a                                                D. b-c-a

Question 14:

a.        Mark: That's smart! I found my book club on Reddit when I was feeling isolated, but now we meet every week through video calls.

b.        Lisa: I agree that it's different, but my virtual community helped me through depression when nobody else knew, so these friendships are definitely real!

c.        Mark: Yes, but sometimes I miss real coffee meetings because typing feels different, although my online friends understand me better than my actual neighbors.

d.        Lisa: I joined a knitting group online because I moved to a new city, and I don't know anyone here yet in real life.

e.        Lisa: Online friends are great because they're always available when you need them, and time zones mean someone is always awake to chat somewhere!

Question 15:

Dear Anna,

a.        I'm writing to tell you about our new translation app at work, which understands different cultures when it translates languages between our international teams.

b.        Our company is using AI chatbots that speak 50 languages because they want to help customers everywhere, although sometimes the bot still makes funny mistakes!

c.        Yesterday, it helped me communicate with Japanese colleagues because it explained their polite expressions, so I didn't accidentally offend anyone during our important meeting.

d.        I think technology is getting better at understanding diversity because programmers are learning from different cultures, so AI can finally serve everyone equally now.

e.        The AI also suggests holiday greetings when different festivals happen around the world, which makes our Muslim and Hindu coworkers feel included and respected.

Best wishes,

AM

Question 16:

a.        Your independence revolution begins when you stop seeking approval from others, because real freedom comes from within, not from likes, shares, or external validation.

b.        Modern life controls us through social media notifications and endless work emails, but we can break free if we choose to act decisively today.

c.        Financial independence matters too, so create multiple income sources through freelancing or investing, even though society expects you to follow traditional employment paths forever.

d.        Start by turning off your phone for two hours daily because this simple action creates space for thinking, while most people remain digitally enslaved.

e.        Learn to say "no" to unnecessary commitments that drain your energy, and instead focus on activities that truly align with your personal goals and values.

A. e-b-d-c-a                                        B. b-d-c-e-a                                        C. d-e-c-b-a                                        D. c-b-e-d-a

Question 17:

a.        When tourists choose certified eco-lodges that employ local guides, they support communities directly, so residents protect wildlife instead of exploiting forests for quick profits.

b.        Costa Rica attracts millions of ecotourists annually because its rainforests contain 5% of the world's biodiversity, and tourism revenue helps preserve these natural treasures effectively.

c.        Ecotourism opens doors to incredible biodiversity hotspots where travelers can witness rare species, while their visits fund conservation efforts that protect these fragile ecosystems.

d.        Responsible travelers must follow strict guidelines while observing animals in their habitats, but this mindful approach ensures future generations can experience nature's incredible diversity.

e.        Madagascar's unique lemurs survive because ecotourism provides alternative income for villages, although balancing visitor numbers with environmental protection remains challenging for park managers everywhere.
