Read the following passage about Urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30
Urbanization refers to the process through which cities grow and expand as more people move from
rural to urban areas. This phenomenon is driven by various factors, including economic opportunities,
educational facilities, and healthcare services, which often attract individuals seeking better living standards.
As cities become more populated, they undergo significant transformations in infrastructure, including
housing, transportation, and public services.
The rise in urban populations can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. On the positive side,
urbanization can stimulate economic development, innovation, and cultural exchange. It often brings
improvements in living standards and provides better access to services and amenities. However, rapid urban
growth can also strain existing infrastructure, leading to issues such as overcrowding, pollution, and
inadequate public services. These challenges can impact the quality of life in urban areas and require careful
planning and management.
Effective urban planning is crucial to mitigating the negative effects of urbanization. This includes
creating sustainable infrastructure, managing resources efficiently, and ensuring equitable access to services
for all residents. By addressing these challenges, cities can harness the benefits of urbanization while
improving the overall quality of urban life.

Read the following passage about the impact of social media on mental health and mark the letter A, B, C,
or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] In recent years, social media platforms have become a central part of daily life, offering users countless
ways to connect, share, and communicate. [II] While these platforms offer many advantages, experts have
noted rising concerns about their effects on mental health, particularly among young people (Smith &
Anderson, 2018). [III] Studies reveal that excessive social media use can contribute to feelings of anxiety,
depression, and loneliness, despite its intention to promote connection and social interaction (Twenge &
Campbell, 2019). [IV]
A primary reason for these mental health concerns is the tendency for social media users to compare
themselves to others. Platforms like Instagram and Facebook often highlight idealized lifestyles, leading
users to feel inadequate about their own lives. Additionally, the constant notifications and messages
contribute to a "fear of missing out," or FOMO, which keeps individuals in a cycle of checking their
phones, often reducing the quality of sleep and overall well-being.
There is also a growing body of research suggesting a link between social media use and decreased attention
spans. When users frequently switch between apps and notifications, their ability to focus for extended
periods may diminish (Rosen, 2019). This shift in attention can interfere with productivity, especially in
academic and professional settings, where sustained focus is essential.
Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach. Some mental health professionals suggest
limiting screen time and setting boundaries, such as "device-free" hours before bedtime. Others recommend
engaging in offline activities, like reading or exercising, to reduce dependence on social media and build
healthier habits. According to psychologists, such strategies can enhance mental resilience and allow for
more meaningful, balanced relationships (Robinson & Smith, 2020).
