Situation 3 - Below is a Biographical sketch of an
American movies writer:
How Did Elvis Presley Achieve Recognition
Success often comes to those with humble
beginnings, Elvis Aron Presley was born on January 8,
1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a church
choir and taught himself to play the guitar, but he never
learned to read music. By 1953, he had moved to
Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from high school, and
enrolled in night school to become an electrician. That
year, at Sun Records, Presley recorded a personal
record for his mother, a song that was heard by the
company's president. As a result of the president's
recognition, Presley's first record, "That's all Right,
Mama," was out in 1954.
He toured the South, and in 1955 five of his
records were released simultaneously. His first national
television appearance was that year on Jackie Gleason's
"The Stage Show," but Presley became known for his
appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," where the young
singer gyrated as he sang "rock n' roll" music. During the
live television performance, Presley was photographed
only from the waist up because his motions were
considered obscene.
"Elvis the Pelvis" began his film career in 1956
with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long term film
contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but
teenagers flocked to Presley's films. Within a few short
years, Presley had established a career that would span
twenty-five years of ups and downs and make him one of
the most popular entertainers in history. Long after his
untimely death at age 42, Presley would be remembered
as "The King of Rock n' Roll”
189. The author uses the phrase ups and downs to
refer to Presley's
a. gyrations as he performed
b. increasing and decreasing finances
c. successes and disappointments in his career
d. use of drugs, "uppers and downers"
190. The statement that "success often comes to
those with humble beginnings" would apply best to
which of the following figures?
a. Ramon Magsaysay c. Corazon C. Aquino
b. Gloria M. Arroyo d. Joseph E. Estrada
191. The main idea of the sketch is that
a. singers are more successful if they appear in
films
b. there has always been obscenity on television
c. opportunity and luck are often as important as
hard work
d. celebrities are usually more famous after their
death
192. The last sentence reveals that the author's
attitude toward Presley is one of
a. indifference c. disbelief
b. admiration d. disgust
Situation 4 - The poem below is entitled "Suburban
Prophecy" which is written by Howard Nemerov.
On Saturday, the power-mowers' whine
Begins the morning. Over this neighbourhood
Rises the keening, petulant voice, begin
Green oily teeth to chatter and munch the cud.
Monsters, crawling the carpets of the world,
Still send from underground against your blades
The roots of things battalions green and curled
And tender, that will match your blades with blades
Till the revolted throats shall strangle on .
The tickle of their dead, till straws shall break
Crankshafts like camels, and the sun go down
On dinosaurs in swamps. A night attack
Follows and by the time the Sabbath dawns
All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.
193. How long does the action of the poem take
place?
a. A week c. An afternoon
11
 b. Twenty-four horns d. A morning ng gawa.
194. The poet's use of words such as whine, voice, 197. Sa alin makikita ang tunay na

paglaki at pagbabagong makabuluhan.
Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang c. Ang gawa ang siyang sukat ng kadakilaan.
Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT. d. Ang kabataan ay siyang pag-asa ng bayan.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki
ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay na ito raw ay
NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay
pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay ang pagkabansot ng
isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.
Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng
paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang paglaki, at
pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng
ating sukat at timbang. Kung ga-poste man ang ating taas
at ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip
naman nati'y ga-kulisap lamang kay pangit na
kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong tangkad-
kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-tapayan, ngunit
kung tayo nama'y tulad ni "bondying" ay di
mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan. Kung
magkakatawan tayong katawang "Tarzan" at mapatalas
ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang
ating kalooban nama'y itim na duwende ng kasamaan-
anong kapinsalaan para sa kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng
Inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa kanya sa
langit ng kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa
putik ng kahirapan at kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos
ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw
ay tumutuwid tayong palangit or bumabaluktod tayong
paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating mga ninunong
kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang
pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating akalaing
makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa
araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong magiging mga
dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating
akalaing makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at
kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong
magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay
na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng pangarap wala rin
sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis
