answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Physical injuries are an inherent risk when participating in sports activities. Whether engaging in high-
impact contact sports or individual athletic endeavours, the human body is susceptible to various types of
injuries. From minor bruises to severe fractures, sports-related injuries can have both short-term and long-term
effects on an individual's physical well-being.
One common type of injury in sports is sprains and strains. These occur when ligaments or
muscles/tendons are stretched or torn due to sudden movements or excessive force. Sprained ankles, strained
muscles, and ligament tears are frequent occurrences in sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis.
Another prevalent injury is fractures, which are breaks or cracks in bones. These can result from direct
trauma, falls, or overuse. Fractures can range from hairline fractures to complete breaks, requiring immediate
medical attention and often necessitating a period of immobilisation and rehabilitation.
Concussions, particularly in contact sports such as football or rugby, are also a concern. A concussion is a
traumatic brain injury caused by a sudden blow to the head, resulting in symptoms like dizziness, confusion,
and memory loss. Proper diagnosis and adequate recovery time are crucial to prevent further complications.
Additionally, overuse injuries are prevalent in sports that involve repetitive motions. Examples include
tennis elbow, runner's knee, and stress fractures. These injuries occur gradually over time due to excessive
strain on specific body parts, often requiring rest, physical therapy, and modifications in training routines.

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 from 44 to 50.
The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) is a crucial ligament found within the knee joint, responsible for
connecting the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). It plays a vital role in preventing lateral movement of
the knee. In the event of excessive stretching, the MCL can tear partially or completely, resulting in a Medial
Collateral Ligament Tear.
When an MCL tear occurs, individuals often experience a sharp pain and a distinct "pop" at the moment
of injury. Swelling typically follows, concentrated around the inner part of the knee. Although walking may
still be possible after the swelling subsides, pain is usually felt when stretching the inner knee. Additionally, the
knee may feel unstable, leading to stumbling or falling.
Medial Collateral Ligament Tears are commonly seen in athletic activities involving sudden changes in
direction, twisting motions, or forceful impacts to the side of the knee. Sports like skiing, soccer, football,
basketball, and tennis are particularly prone to such injuries.
To diagnose a torn MCL, healthcare professionals conduct a thorough examination, which includes
pressing on the knee and observing specific movements. Imaging tests, such as X-rays and MRI scans, may be
ordered to assess the severity of the tear and check for other potential knee injuries.
Immediate treatment options for MCL tears include over-the-counter pain medication, RICE (Rest, Ice,
Compression, Elevation), and the use of braces to protect the knee during the healing process. Depending on
the severity, crutches, physical therapy, or even surgery may be recommended.
During recovery, it is essential for individuals with a torn MCL to temporarily refrain from sports,
focusing instead on low-impact activities like swimming. Following the doctor's instructions and engaging in
physical therapy can help prevent future MCL tears and other injuries by improving strength, balance,
flexibility, and teaching proper techniques for sports-related movements.
Parents play a vital role in supporting their child's recovery from an MCL tear, as it may be emotionally
challenging. Encouraging alternative activities or hobbies can help maintain their engagement and positivity.
Following up with scheduled appointments, adhering to at-home exercises, and avoiding activities that may
hinder healing are crucial aspects of the recovery process.
44. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Understanding the Importance of the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) in Knee Stability
B. Unveiling the Mechanism and Treatment of MCL Tears

Calories are units of energy. They refer to the amount of energy you get from foods and drinks, and the
amount of energy you use through physical activities. For example, an apple has about 80 calories, while a 1.6
km walk might use up 100 calories. Calories are important for human health, and the key is having the right
amount of it.
Everyone needs different amounts of energy per day depending on age, size and activity levels. An
athlete needs more calories than an office worker. To stay in shape, an average adult requires at least 1,800
calories per day (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). If we eat just the
number of calories our body needs each day, we will probably be healthy. However, eating too much can make
you put on weight. To lose weight, eat fewer calories than your body burns each day.
