Eyebrows can be tweezed, trimmed, penciled in, microbladed, tattooed, and, in a more recent trend, laminated. Eyebrow lamination gives eyebrows a thicker, fuller look, in contrast to the thinner, more heavily plucked look favored in the 90’s and early 2000’s. The process of eyebrow lamination starts with the application of a degreasing solution. Next comes a perming gel, and then the eyebrows are brushed. Finally, a neutralizing gel sets the brows. This process involves several chemicals, so it’s important that it be done by a trained esthetician. Which text feature is primarily used in this text? Bolded term(s) Footnote(s) Italics Headings and subheadings None 12. First Day at Work Mara was nervously looking for her car keys because she couldn’t remember where she had put them. She could have easily taken the bus, but counting on the unreliable frequency of her town’s public transport didn’t fill her with confidence. It was her first day at work and she wanted to feel in control of the situation, so driving was the best option. Unfortunately, it was rush-hour — her least favourite time of the day. She would have to find her keys soon to avoid the stress of dashing through the busy roads of the city centre. Mara didn’t like rushing. She was a calm person and she didn’t like to do things in a hurry. She often arrived late at dinners, appointments and even business meetings. There they were! The keys were in her handbag all along. Which of the following best describes this type of writing? Technical Persuasive Narrative Expository None 13. Aphantasia The term ‘aphantasia’ was coined in 2015 from the Greek words ‘a’ and ‘phantasia’ meaning ‘without’ and ‘imagination’ respectively. It describes a neurological condition that causes an inability to visualise mental images of thoughts, memories, people, and places, even if they are very familiar. Although the term was coined not so long ago, the actual condition of having a blind mind’s eye was reported by Sir Francis Galton in one of his studies about mental imagery in 1880. While the cause of aphantasia is currently unknown, it has been discovered that it is often a congenital condition. It can also occur after a brain injury. This phenomenon, however, remains highly understudied overall. For those who aren’t affected by aphantasia, creating images in their minds is such an important part of their lives that they cannot imagine what life would be without it. Nevertheless, there are some advantages to having aphantasia, such as the inability to recall vivid images of past traumas and a high ability to concentrate. Which of the following is an inference that can be made about ‘aphantasia’? The advantages of having aphantasia outweigh its disadvantages. Understanding how aphantasia can affect one's life is difficult. More research should be done on this condition. People affected by aphantasia cannot live a fulfilling life. None 14.

Which of the following defines ‘aphantasia’? It is a congenital condition that doesn't allow the visualization of mental images. It is a neurological condition that affects people's ability to create mental images. It is an understudied condition that doesn’t allow those affected to be creative. It is a condition that remains difficult to explain to those who aren't affected by it. None 15. Dragon Man In June 2021, a group of paleontologists announced the discovery of a new human species named Homo Longi. This discovery was brought to light after the study of a nearly intact cranium found in China in 1933. The nickname Dragon Man comes from the name of the region in which the skull was found – the Black Dragon River. According to the researchers, the skull belonged to a large male individual who lived approximately 146,000 years ago in a forested area. He was around 50 years of age, hunted mammals and birds, gathered fruits and vegetables, and was perhaps able to catch fish. It is Homo Longi‘s large size that might have made it easier for the species to travel long distances and adapt to harsh conditions. This is the largest Homo skull ever found, and while some characteristics separate this species from us, its size brings it closer to the description of a modern human, i.e. Homo Sapiens. Therefore, Homo Longi appears to be a sister species of Homo Sapiens. This evidence demonstrates that Homo Sapiens did not evolve directly from the Neanderthal, as was previously believed. However, many scientists argue that there isn’t enough physical and genetic difference between the species to consider them separate from each other. Which of the following is an inference that can be made about Homo Longi? The Dragon Man is the closest relative of Homo Sapiens. Modern humans didn't evolve from Homo Sapiens. Neanderthals are the sister species of Homo Longi. The progression of human evolution cannot be established. None 16.

Which of the following is a prediction based on the last line of the passage? Further research will be carried out on existing evidence. Scientists cannot decide if Homo Longi is a new species. Further evidence is needed for scientists to agree. Homo Longi has similar characteristics to Homo Sapiens. None 17. A Prayer in Spring Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year. The Secret Garden They always called it Magic and indeed it seemed like it in the months that followed—the wonderful months—the radiant months—the amazing ones. Oh! the things which happened in that garden! If you have never had a garden you cannot understand, and if you have had a garden you will know that it would take a whole book to describe all that came to pass there. At first it seemed that green things would never cease pushing their way through the earth, in the grass, in the beds, even in the crevices of the walls. Then the green things began to show buds and the buds began to unfurl and show color, every shade of blue, every shade of purple, every tint and hue of crimson. In its happy days flowers had been tucked away into every inch and hole and corner. Which of the following has a common theme between the poem and the passage? The seasons mark the stages of life. Hope for better times to come. People marvel at nature’s wonders. Solitude brings peace to the mind. None 18.

And when I saw a stranger face Where beauty held the claim, I gave it like a secret grace The being of thy name. And all the charms of face or voice Which I in others see Are but the recollected choice Of what I felt for thee. Pride and Prejudice In spite of her deeply-rooted dislike, she could not be insensible to the compliment of such a man’s affection, and though her intentions did not vary for an instant, she was at first sorry for the pain he was to receive; till, roused to resentment by his subsequent language, she lost all compassion in anger. Which of the following is a common theme between the poem and the passage? Growing up means making difficult choices. Love can cause suffering. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Dreams and aspirations lead to disappointment. None 20. The Secret I loved thee, though I told thee not, Right earlily and long, Thou wert my joy in every spot, My theme in every song.

In the poem, feelings are never expressed. Only the passage talks about strong feelings. None 21. Detecting Microplastics Information received from NASA satellites can be now used to track the movement of microplastics, thanks to a team of scientists from the University of Michigan. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic trash broken down by the sun’s rays and the motion of ocean waves. Because ocean currents can carry these plastic particles far away from where they originated, it can become very difficult to track them and remove them. It has been observed that microplastics are present in smoother waters because they can affect the ocean roughness. Data from a group of eight small satellites can help scientists predict where microplastics congregate by following ocean and wind speed calculations. Currently, fisher boat trawlers are the main source of information about the locations of microplastics, as they use nets to catch plankton and, accidentally, microplastics. However, the new technique demonstrates that satellite data can successfully track ocean microplastic from space. This might transform the way in which we tackle water pollution. As microplastics are harmful to marine organisms and ecosystems, this can be considered a ground-breaking discovery. Which of the following is a prediction based on the last line of the passage? Fish and other creatures are endangered because of microplastics. This new technique might damage the underwater environment. In the future, satellites will help reduce water pollution. Scientists are experimenting on the use of satellites. None 22. Studying at the Sound of Music What’s the soundtrack of your learning? What do you have in the background? Some people listen to the sound of birds singing, while others prefer that of the ocean waves. Research suggests that complete silence is a better option when completing tasks that require memory recalling or problem-solving. Most learners, however, prefer to listen to some music while studying. Studies have shown that music with lyrics can be distracting. This is because listening to the words of a song takes brain resources away from the studying process. It turns out that our brain has only so much power to work with at any given time! Despite this, another study shows that songs with unintelligible words do not have such a negative impact on your studying. However, if you are looking for music that can improve your studying and concentrating abilities, it is important to remember that different genres of music are unlikely to have the same impact on our brains. Generally speaking, classical music is considered a good background choice for studying, but there are some exceptions. Explosive works like Respighi’s Pines of Rome or Rossini’s William Tell Overture may be too energetic for effective studying. As concluded by other studies on music and concentration, it appears that baroque music is a particularly useful type of music to listen to when studying. With 50 to 80 beats per minute, baroque music creates an ideal environment for studying by creating stable mental, physical, and emotional patterns. Another genre without lyrics is meditative music, regarded as a good study option as an alternative, or in addition, to classical music. This hypothesis is supported by studies that focus specifically on this kind of music. It has been found that meditative music, which contains what’s called “alpha” beats, stimulates alpha waves in the brain. These put our brains in a relaxed, yet alert, state, which allows the brain to better absorb and retain information and ideas. Meditative music also commonly includes sounds of nature, like croaking frogs or wind through the trees, which can improve cognitive function and concentration. They also efficiently conceal other sounds that interfere with studying, like people talking or road noise. A study on the correlation between music genres and studying demonstrates that each person’s taste might give more reliable clues regarding the best studying music than any specific genre. This was carried out by comparing brain wave patterns reacting to different musical genres and a song selected by each study participant as a personal favorite. They found that neural activity connected to cognitive processing improved when participants were listening to their music of choice, regardless of the genre. The researcher shared their study results in their paper, titled “Network Science and the Effects of Music Preference on Functional Brain Connectivity: From Beethoven to Eminem.” So, listening to music can improve our concentration and ability to study, but that’s not all, as music is a gift that keeps on giving. It has been suggested that learning to play a musical instrument can strengthen our abilities involved in remembering information, and it could even enhance our IQ. Regardless of whether you can become more intelligent or not, you can use music to make studying more enjoyable and more effective. Ultimately, you know when you’re studying well and when you’re not, so try out some different genres and find out what works for you. What is the primary argument of the passage? Some classical music can be beneficial to our learning skills. Your favorite songs can improve your studying abilities. Classical music can have an impact on our mood. Song lyrics can undermine your studying efforts. None 23. Studying at the Sound of Music What’s the soundtrack of your learning? What do you have in the background? Some people listen to the sound of birds singing, while others prefer that of the ocean waves.

Ultimately, you know when you’re studying well and when you’re not, so try out some different genres and find out what works for you. Which of the following is a claim that supports the argument of the passage? Not all classical music is equal in its effects. Classical music does not help relaxation. Meditative music is not a better option. Fast-paced music is not suitable for studying. None 24. Studying at the Sound of Music What’s the soundtrack of your learning?

Classical music helps stabilize people’s minds and emotions. The absence of lyrics prevents any form of distraction. Specific styles of classical music have a fairly slow rhythm. Alpha beats stimulate the brain waves that promote learning. None 25. Studying at the Sound of Music What’s the soundtrack of your learning? What do you have in the background?
