Situation 1 - Below is the poem written by Edgar

What Happened to Tom Merritt?
At first I suspected something
She acted so calm and absent-minded.
And one day I heard the back door shut,
As I entered the front, and I saw him slink
Back of the smoke house into the lot,
And across the field.
And I meant to kill him on sight.
But that day, walking near Fourth Bridge,
Without a stick or a stone at hand,
All of a sudden I saw him standing,
Scared to death, holding his rabbits,
And all l could say was, "Don't, Don't, Don't,"
As he aimed and fired at my heart.

Situation 2 - Below is an excerpt from John F.
Kennedy's "Inaugural Address." Read the excerpt
and answer the questions that follow.
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than
mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course.
Since this country as founded, each generation of
Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its
national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into
answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a
call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a call
to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear
the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year
out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation," a, struggle
against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty,
disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand
and global alliance, North and South, East and West,
that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will
you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few
generations have been granted the role of defending
freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink
from this responsibility; I welcome it I do not believe
that any of us would exchange places with any other
people or any other generation. The energy, the faith,
the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light
our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that
fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what
your country can do for you; ask what you can do for
your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what
America will do for you, but what together we can do for
the freedom of man.

Situation 3 - Below is a Biographical sketch of an
American movies writer:
How Did Elvis Presley Achieve Recognition
Success often comes to those with humble
beginnings, Elvis Aron Presley was born on January 8,
1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a church
choir and taught himself to play the guitar, but he never
learned to read music. By 1953, he had moved to
Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from high school, and
enrolled in night school to become an electrician. That
year, at Sun Records, Presley recorded a personal
record for his mother, a song that was heard by the
company's president. As a result of the president's
recognition, Presley's first record, "That's all Right,
Mama," was out in 1954.
He toured the South, and in 1955 five of his
records were released simultaneously. His first national
television appearance was that year on Jackie
Gleason's "The Stage Show," but Presley became
known for his appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show,"
where the young singer gyrated as he sang "rock n' roll"
music. During the live television performance, Presley
was photographed only from the waist up because his
motions were considered obscene.
"Elvis the Pelvis" began his film career in 1956
with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long term film
contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but
teenagers flocked to Presley's films. Within a few short
years, Presley had established a career that would
span twenty-five years of ups and downs and make him
one of the most popular entertainers in history. Long
after his untimely death at age 42, Presley would be
remembered as "The King of Rock n' Roll”
189. The author uses the phrase ups and downs to
refer to Presley's
a. gyrations as he performed
b. increasing and decreasing finances

d. use of drugs, "uppers and downers"
190. The statement that "success often comes to
those with humble beginnings" would apply best to
which of the following figures?

b. Gloria M. Arroyo d. Joseph E. Estrada
191. The main idea of the sketch is that
a. singers are more successful if they appear in
films
b. there has always been obscenity on television
c. opportunity and luck are often as important as
hard work
d. celebrities are usually more famous after their
death
192. The last sentence reveals that the author's
attitude toward Presley is one of
a. indifference c. disbelief
b. admiration d. disgust
Situation 4 - The poem below is entitled "Suburban
Prophecy" which is written by Howard Nemerov.
On Saturday, the power-mowers' whine
Begins the morning. Over this neighbourhood
Rises the keening, petulant voice, begin
Green oily teeth to chatter and munch the cud.
Monsters, crawling the carpets of the world,
Still send from underground against your blades
The roots of things battalions green and curled
And tender, that will match your blades with blades
Till the revolted throats shall strangle on .
The tickle of their dead, till straws shall break
Crankshafts like camels, and the sun go down
On dinosaurs in swamps. A night attack
Follows and by the time the Sabbath dawns
All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.
193. How long does the action of the poem take
place?

Araw-araw ay tumutuwid tayong palangit or

magiging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan.
Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob tayo ngayon

bukas sigla tayong magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang
