II. Direction: Read and analyze the paragraph below. Answer the questions that follow.

This 21st century, cities have grown so large that now about fifty percent of the world's
population lives in urban areas. Why is this so? For one reason, many industries and job opportunities
abound in cities. These jobs attract many people from the rural areas because of perhaps a better
material life. Another reason is that many big schools, colleges, and universities are to be found in the
cities, even in newly created ones. Parents are lured to send their children to these institutions due to
the promise of better education. Still another reason is that as cities grow, people put up places of
leisure, entertainment, and culture. For rural folks, these facilities make city life appear more
interesting and exciting than life on the farm.

A. Comparison and Contrast C. Cause and Effect

13. What text type is shown in the paragraph below?

How Does a Car Work?

A car runs because of its engine. The engine is a machine that transforms fuel or
gasoline into heat energy, making the car's wheels turn.
First, gasoline flows into the carburetor where it evaporates and mixes with air. Then,
the fuel-air mixture is compressed inside the cylinder as the piston moves up. A spark is
produced by the spark plug and ignites the mixture. This drives the piston down to make way
as the burning fuel expands. The downward movement of the piston pushes other parts of the
car. The energy released by the gasoline is transmitted to the wheels. Used gas is then
expelled into the air as the exhaust valves open.
A. Comparison and Contrast C. Cause and Effect
B. Problem and Solution D. Enumeration
