1. The question is based on the following passage.

Students’ attendance process at school has become highly disrupted due to Covid-19. Having been
away from a physical school building for a year or more presents a number of challenges for the
students and for their family members as schools reopen. According to a child psychologist, here are
the ways parents can help students adapt to the new school year and improve their attendance.

Morning preparation routines may have become unnecessary during the pandemic. Parents and
children will need to practice their routines by setting waking times and having a regular order for
getting ready for school. Give everyone a certain amount of time to complete the entire routine before
everyone has to leave home.

Many kids will also need to relearn basic classroom routines. Thus, parents are encouraged to work
with teachers to understand the expectations for homework and behavior. If a child’s progress in these
areas seems a bit behind, then a conversation with the school counselor is a good idea to set up a plan
to help the student reach grade-level work.

Students reentering a physical school space will also need to relearn and practice important social
skills that may have slipped a bit through all the virtual classes. Kids may have had virtual discussions,
but direct contact with others presents its own challenges. Parents can help their children practice
these skills.

Other children will have even more substantial challenges returning to school because of trauma
experienced outside of school. Parents should work with school officials to let them know of any special
problems a child may have faced during a shutdown. This could involve, for example, identifying
places at school a child could use to calm down or allowing extended times for work and other tasks.

5. The question is based on the following passage.

Supply chain weaknesses were brought to the forefront during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially
for industries relying on electronics, as the flow of raw materials slowed or sometimes stopped. On top
of that, shifting consumer values and tougher environmental regulations have resulted in more people
buying hybrid vehicles. The batteries in these cars require rare metals that, depending on their
supplies, can have volatile and unpredictable prices. However, there are other scarce elements and
materials that may be used in smaller amounts in hybrid models versus conventional gas vehicles,
raising the question of how these vehicles really compare with regard to supply chain
vulnerabilities. Randolph Kirchain and colleagues wanted to develop a comprehensive comparison of
the elements and compounds that go into all the parts in gas-powered, self-charging hybrid and plug-
in hybrid cars, calculating each of the three vehicles' materials cost vulnerability.

The researchers collected information on the compounds in the more than 350,000 parts used to
build seven vehicles from the same manufacturer with different levels of electrification, including four
sedans and three sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Then, they calculated the amount of the 76 chemical
elements present, as well as a few other materials, in each car type. To develop a monetary metric for
vulnerability, the team considered the weight of each component, along with its average price and
price volatility between 1998 and 2015. The results showed that self-charging hybrid and plug-in
hybrid vehicles have twice the raw material cost risks. The largest contributors to the increase in cost
risks were battery-related elements, such as cobalt, nickel, graphite and neodymium. The researchers
say that as manufacturers ramp up electric vehicle production to meet demand, reducing raw material
cost risks with long-term supplier contracts, substituting some materials or recycling others will be a
good idea.

9. The question is based on the passage.

When a Balinese youth reaches adolescence they have to undergo one of the most important rites
of passage: the tooth filing ceremony. Locally known as mesangih, mepandes or metatah ceremony,
the tooth filing ceremony is an essential ceremony in the life of a Balinese person. It is considered part
of a parent’s responsibility to their child, thus it has to be carried out no matter what.

The tooth filing ceremony comes from the belief that there is good and evil present in every person
and the ceremony serves as a way to balance between good and evil. They do this by symbolically
filing the canines and the incisors, both on top and bottom. But before you get scared, they just lightly
graze the teeth with a piece of bamboo, not literally cut them!

The tooth filing ceremony starts with a series of purification ceremonies to “cleanse” the
participants before having their teeth filed. This is called the mebyakala. After the purification, the
participants pray to Surya (or the sun god) to be a witness of the ceremony. Once that’s over, the
participants have their teeth filed by a priest. And after that, they purify themselves once again and
pray to the gods as a form of gratitude. Spiritually, they now are fully formed adults!

A Balinese person is considered eligible to have their teeth filed once they reach adolescence.
Although they can postpone it until they have the means to carry it out, the ceremony must take place
before a Balinese person gets married, technically, the tooth filing marks the transition from an
adolescent into a full-fledged adult. Usually families in a banjar can pool money together and hold a
mass ceremony to alleviate costs. Sometimes the mesangih is held as a part of a wedding instead of
holding them separately. That way the family doesn’t have to pay additional costs.

"Although they can postpone it until they have the means to carry it out, the ceremony must take

13. Read the passage and answer the question!

Conflict had existed between Spain and England since the 1570s. England wanted a share of the
wealth that Spain had been taking from the land it had claimed in the Americas.

Elizabeth I, Queen of England, encouraged her staunch admiral of the navy, Sir Francis Drake, to
raid Spanish ships and towns. Though these raids were on a small scale, Drake achieved dramatic
success, adding gold and silver to England’s treasury and diminishing Spain’s supremacy.

Religious differences also caused conflict between the two countries. Whereas Spain was Roman
Catholic, most of England had become Protestant. King Philip II of Spain wanted to claim the throne
and make England a Catholic country again. To satisfy his ambition and also to retaliate against
England’s theft of his gold and silver, King Philip began to build his fleet of warships, the Spanish
Armada, in January 1586.

Philip intended his fleet to be indestructible. In addition to building new warships, he marshaled 130
sailing vessels of all types and recruited more than 19,000 robust soldiers and 8,000 sailors. Although
some of his ships lacked guns and others lacked ammunition, Philip was convinced that his Armada
could withstand any battle with England.

The martial Armada set sail from Lisbon, Portugal, on May 9, 1588, but bad weather forced it back
to port. The voyage resumed on July 22 after the weather became more stable.

The Spanish fleet met the smaller, faster, and more maneuverable English ships in battle off the
coast of Plymouth, England, first on July 31 and again on August 2. The two battles left Spain
vulnerable, having lost several ships and with its ammunition depleted. On August 7, while the Armada
laid an anchor on the French side of the Strait of Dover, England sent eight burning ships into the
midst of the Spanish fleet to set it on fire. Blocked on one side, the Spanish ships could only drift away.
Their crews were in panic and disorder. Before the Armada could regroup, the English attacked again
on August 8.

Although the Spaniards made a valiant effort to fight back, the fleet suffered extensive damage.
During the eight hours of battle, the Armada drifted perilously close to the rocky coastline. At the
moment when it seemed that the Spanish ships would be driven onto the English shore, the wind
shifted, and the Armada drifted out into the North Sea. The Spaniards recognized the superiority of the
English fleet and returned home, defeated.

In the passage, there are statements like this:


"On August 7, while the Armada laid an anchor on the French side of the Strait of Dover, England sent
eight burning ships into the midst of the Spanish fleet to set it on fire. Blocked on one side, the Spanish
ships could only drift away." (Paragraph 6)

Unless the Spanish fleet ____ on one side, the ships would have done another strategy.

14. Read the passage and answer the question!

Conflict had existed between Spain and England since the 1570s. England wanted a share of the
wealth that Spain had been taking from the land it had claimed in the Americas.

Elizabeth I, Queen of England, encouraged her staunch admiral of the navy, Sir Francis Drake, to
raid Spanish ships and towns. Though these raids were on a small scale, Drake achieved dramatic
success, adding gold and silver to England’s treasury and diminishing Spain’s supremacy.

Religious differences also caused conflict between the two countries. Whereas Spain was Roman
Catholic, most of England had become Protestant. King Philip II of Spain wanted to claim the throne
and make England a Catholic country again. To satisfy his ambition and also to retaliate against
England’s theft of his gold and silver, King Philip began to build his fleet of warships, the Spanish
Armada, in January 1586.
