Flag question
Question text
Identify the part of the research report where the
following passage falls:
Departure of Filipinos was beneficial to the country and to the
families of OFWs, since the dollar reserve that we can get from
them saved us from economic turmoil. But let us think about the
children as well, they may experience great loneliness due to
their parent’s absence.
Communication is important, considering the distance between
the parent and the child. The OFWs should communicate with
their children regularly so as not to create a distance between
them. It could also help the child if the parent is easily
approachable. Imagine if communicating devices did not exist. It
would be a great suffering for both the parents and the children
since snail mail, the alternative communication, would take a long
time of process just to reach the receiver, unlike e-mail, in which
the message would be sent in just a matter of seconds.
If the parents truly care for the child, they would always make a
way to extend their love overseas to reach them through
communication.
The children also need their guardians to plan “outings” and other
activities that they would all enjoy for them not to feel alone.

Identify the part of the research report where the
following passage falls:
The study, "A Content Analysis of The Catalyst’s News Stories
From 1986 to 2010", seeks to find out how The Catalyst, the
official student publication of Polytechnic University of the
Philippines selected and treated the news articles they have
published from 1986 to 2010.
The researchers wanted to classify the news issues which The
Catalyst gave emphasis on into categories: Political,
Financial/Economic, Peace and Order, Social, Rebellion, Religious,
Sports/Entertainment, Miscellaneous and Politics within University.
The researchers also sorted The Catalyst’s news articles in terms
of the following: Scope/Origin, Chronology/Sequence, Structure
and Content. Lastly, the researchers intended to determine the
treatment and the tone of the news articles.
The researchers used convenience sampling method. The
researchers have content analyzed 84 existing issues from the
year 1986 up to 2010. The researchers categorized 586 news
articles from the said issues into categories based on the criteria
following the three major variables in content analysis by Elena
Pernia (2004).
Based on the observations and results of the content analysis, it
was determined that The Catalyst’s style changed from the
orthodox style in 1986 to different forms of layout in the later
years. Moreover, The Catalyst transitioned from using blue ink to
mainly using black ink and later on red ink.
Moreover, the scope of The Catalyst’s news was mostly local. The
student publication usually covered events within the university.
Most of the student publication’s news stories were straight news.
The news articles were mostly treated as neutral, meaning the
news were written merely as statement of events in the simplest
and most objective way. The researchers concluded that The
Catalyst has performed its duty as the official student publication
of PUP through disseminating information that would be of
concern to the students and the university.

Question text
Identify the part of the research report where the
following passage falls:
Due to lack of job opportunities here in the Philippines, there are
Filipinos who were willing to work abroad to earn higher salary
compared to the Philippines’. These people are called OFWs or
Overseas Filipino Workers. They are ready to sacrifice their lives
here in the Philippines for the sake of earning more money.
Because of this, they were referred to as “New Heroes”.
Our government is not that vocal about the progress of the
country’s economy through the help of OFWs yet they encourage
more Filipinos to accept different jobs abroad.
The OFWs’ children are the ones highly by their parent’s
departure. They have to suffer the loneliness of not having their
parent/s with them.
Although they have guardians to look after them and to care for
them, nothing can compare to a parent’s love and affection.
There are laws and agencies that protect and support OFWs but
the child would not be ensured of their parent’s safety. They
would be surely anxious of the condition of their parents because
of the distance that makes the young ones worry about them.

A review of the Twilight Saga contains the following passage:
The first and foremost question: why would a 104 year-old person
fall in love with a teenager? Theoretically, people get wiser when
they get older, although reality proves it is not necessarily so. I
would understand if Edward treated Bella as an adopted
daughter, at least. But love? There is a special word for adult men
having romantic and sexual relationships with teen girls. Also,
according to folklore, vampires are sadistic, vile, and sexually-
insatiable creatures, so in a proper vampire story, exploitation
and being devoured would be Bella’s only options. But a true,
clean, and romantic love? This is stupid. The only reason why it
became possible is probably because aging has negatively
affected Edward’s (and his family’s) mental capabilities. Also, why
would Bella not feel scared of knowing people who suck blood, or
who can turn into savage beasts? What kind of weird taste or
fetish is that? And it is not only Bella and Edward acting weird—
Jacob, Victoria, the vampire clans, and other folks appearing in
Twilight seem to have little to no common sense, reason, or logic.

In line with this, the scope of the publication’s news articles is

The ruling quantity of news classified into spot news depicted that
the abundance of news within the local proximity were given the
utmost priority by the editorial board. Events which occurred in
PUP demanded immediate publication to easily spread the
information to the rest of the university.

Identify the part of the research report where the
following passage falls:
OFW parents could influence their children in either good or bad
way. Children who have parents as overseas workers would be
considered well-off in life because of the money, not to mention,
dollars sent to them. But OFWs are willing to endure all the pains
and sufferings of having their families away from them because in
the end, they are recognized by the government and by every
Filipino.
Because of this, former President Corazon Aquino acknowledged
their sacrifices, efforts and contributions by referring to them as
the modern heroes in the speech she gave last 1988 to a group of
domestic helpers in Hong Kong.
In honor of the OFWs who kept our country’s economy afloat as
well as their families’ lives, the Philippines celebrates December
as the “Month of Overseas Filipino Workers”, to pay tribute to
them.

Rowling created truly vivid characters; however, not all of them
revealed their potential from the very beginning. Surprisingly, the
one who truly took his time before finally showing his personality
was Harry. Whereas Ron, Hermione, Draco, Snape, and other
characters possessed vivid and readable personalities from the
very beginning, for a long time, Harry remains some kind of an
“event-trigger,” whose main goal is to move the story forward.

R. Dworkin does something rather novel and considers that,
rather than being immoral, something could be from a different
moral code (1977, p. 995). This, of course, makes perfect sense,
and is what I have said already. I would even go so far as to
suggest that it is impossible to act immorally. This is another
reason morality and legality must remain separate, because,
whereas illegal acts exist, immoral ones do not.
