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.
Cable television was born in 1928. Sadly, we are all witnessing its death. Not so long ago, a TV guide could be
found on every living room coffee table to help consumers plan their evening TV show lineup. Today, Generation
Z consumes video content in a completely different way. These young viewers have placed a premium on
flexibility. Rigid time frames outlining ad-laden TV shows are wholly unappealing to such an audience.

From the type of content they watch and the format they watch it in to the device they watch it on, Gen Z is asking
for content to be catered to them. The successful streaming platforms will be the ones that listen. The migration
from traditional media to on-demand streaming has forced media outlets to become more agile than ever.
While cable TV is holding on for dear life to its remaining subscribers, successful platforms have provided what
their customers want — content on the go. Gone are the days where family members rush home to secure a spot
on the couch just in time to tune into their favorite programs. Instead, Gen Z has ignited the movement of content
providers toward specialized content streaming. Specifically, platforms have carved out success by placing more
tailored content onto apps and services that are geared toward the younger viewers and accessible by phone or
tablet. Studies have revealed that a Gen Z audience consumes the majority of its content on three platforms:
YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.
Gen Z consumes three hours of entertainment and video content on their phones, nearly doubling the number of
hours spent watching cable TV. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that producers are opting to
create streamable, accessible, mobile content over traditional platforms.

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.
Modern technologies have changed the way that people communicate with one another. These technologies
provide new and innovative ways for people to communicate -- text messaging, email, chat and social networks.
They allow faster and more efficient communication and can help build relationships. However, modern
technologies can also have negative effects such as limiting personal contact and straining relationships. The
nature of the effect depends in large part on the type of relationship.
Modern technologies limit the amount of separation between work and home. With the advent of computers, the
Internet and cell phones people can -- and are often expected to -- address work issues from home. This can limit
family interactions and cause conflict between family members. The use of Internet and television by children
and teenagers also limits the amount time spent with family and can increase conflict between children and their
parents.
Young people use modern technologies in increasing numbers to communicate with their friends. Text messaging
and online chats have become the preferred method of youth communication. A California State University and
UCLA study indicates that for young people face-to-face interactions are less desirable than modern modes of
communication. This preference could cause an inability to form lasting friendships or difficulty understanding
social cues. Others believe that modern technologies increase communication and therefore strengthen
friendships.
Starting new relationships -- romantic and otherwise -- can be difficult. Modern technologies allow people to
make new connections without the fears characteristic of face-to-face contact. The anonymity and low risk is
what makes Internet dating and social networks popular ways of meeting people. However, this anonymity can
also be dangerous. In April 2011, a woman sued an online dating site after allegedly being raped by a man she
met online.
Modern technologies allow couples to be in contact with each other more than ever before. This can lead to
increased expectations and conflict. With the increasing use of cell phones and email, people often expect an
instant reply to communication. A delayed reply -- or none at all -- can lead to suspicion and anger. The use of
social networks can also affect relationships. Information that was once private -- such as relationship conflicts -
- is now part of the public sphere.

C. As the pressure of work in modern time is too heavy for parents to solve at workplace.
