Read the following passages and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the following questions.
Exercise 1:
Urbanization is the process by which more people move from rural areas to cities,
leading to the growth of urban centers. This shift is mainly driven by economic opportunities,
as cities offer better jobs, higher wages, and improved living standards. Additionally, urban
areas provide access to essential services like healthcare, education, and public transportation,
which attract people seeking a better quality of life.
However, rapid urbanization also brings significant challenges. Overpopulation in cities
often results in a shortage of housing, leading to the rise of slums where living conditions are
poor. Traffic congestion and pollution increase as more people rely on vehicles for
transportation. Moreover, the demand for resources such as clean water and electricity rises,
sometimes exceeding the city's capacity to provide them.
Another issue associated with urbanization is the strain on the environment.
Deforestation, loss of green spaces, and increased carbon emissions contribute to climate
change. Waste management also becomes a concern, as cities produce vast amounts of garbage
that need proper disposal.
To manage urban growth effectively, governments and city planners must adopt
sustainable solutions. Investments in public transportation can help reduce traffic congestion
and pollution. Affordable housing projects can improve living conditions for lower-income
residents. Additionally, creating more green spaces and promoting eco-friendly practices can
help mitigate environmental damage.
While urbanization brings economic growth and development, it must be managed
carefully to ensure a balanced and sustainable future.

Exercise 2:
Social media has become an essential part of modern life, allowing people to connect,
share information, and express their opinions instantly. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter, and TikTok enable users to communicate with friends and family, stay updated on
current events, and even promote businesses or personal brands.
While social media has many benefits, it also comes with certain risks. One major
concern is privacy. Many users share personal details online without realizing that this
information can be accessed by strangers or misused by companies. Cyberbullying is another
serious issue, as people can post hurtful comments anonymously. Additionally, excessive
social media use can lead to addiction, reducing productivity and affecting mental health.
Despite these challenges, social media plays a crucial role in today’s world. It helps
raise awareness about social and environmental issues, allows businesses to reach larger
audiences, and provides entertainment for millions of people. To use social media responsibly,
users should be mindful of what they share, set privacy controls, and take breaks to avoid
spending too much time online.
As technology continues to evolve, social media will likely remain a powerful tool for
communication and influence. However, it is important for individuals to balance its use and
