Read the following passage about Gender Equality in Security Forces 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.
The integration of women into military and security forces represents a significant milestone in the
pursuit of gender equality. Historically, security sectors were dominated by men, with women relegated to
support roles or excluded entirely. This disparity stemmed from entrenched stereotypes about physical
capabilities and women's suitability for combat. Over recent decades, many nations have acknowledged the
invaluable contributions women can make to security operations, leading to policy reforms that have
gradually dismantled these barriers. Research indicates that mixed-gender units often exhibit superior
decision-making in complex scenarios.
Despite progress, women in military settings continue to face substantial hurdles. Sexual harassment
and gender-based discrimination remain prevalent issues that undermine their professional development.
The rigid hierarchical structure of military organizations can exacerbate these problems, as reporting
mechanisms may be insufficient or ineffective. Additionally, women often encounter a "glass ceiling" that
impedes advancement to leadership positions. This phenomenon is particularly evident in combat units,
where skepticism about female physical endurance persists despite empirical evidence demonstrating their
competence in demanding conditions.
Recent initiatives have yielded promising results in fostering more inclusive security forces. Many
countries have implemented comprehensive gender-sensitive training programs aimed at transforming
institutional culture. These programs emphasize the operational advantages of diverse teams, which typically
demonstrate enhanced problem-solving capabilities and improved community relations during peacekeeping
missions. Furthermore, some military establishments have revised their physical fitness standards to focus
on job-specific requirements rather than arbitrary benchmarks that disadvantage female recruits.
Page 6
The future landscape of military gender integration presents both technological opportunities and
evolving challenges. Emerging technologies like advanced exoskeletons may neutralize physical differences,
potentially revolutionizing combat roles' accessibility. Digital warfare domains increasingly value cognitive
abilities over physical strength, creating natural pathways for talent regardless of gender. Progressive
nations are now exploring family-friendly military careers with flexible deployment options and
parental accommodations. However, resistance persists in certain contexts where cultural barriers
intertwine with security traditions. Ultimate success will depend on recognizing gender diversity not merely
as a social justice objective but as a strategic imperative that directly enhances operational effectiveness and
national security preparedness in our complex global environment.

Read the following passage about the Why Some Innovations Don't Survive 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.
Throughout history, countless inventions have bitten the dust despite their initial promise. While
some innovations make headway and transform our lives, others fade into obscurity regardless of their
ingenuity. This phenomenon of "forgotten technology" reveals how success depends on more than just a
clever idea. [I] Inventors often pour their hearts and souls into creating solutions, only to see their work
vanish from the marketplace when faced with unexpected obstacles. Understanding why some inventions
disappear provides valuable insights into how innovation truly succeeds in the long term.
Economic factors frequently determine whether an invention survives. Many brilliant creations fail
simply because they cost too much to produce or operate compared to existing alternatives. The Concorde
supersonic passenger jet exemplifies this problem—while revolutionary in its ability to cross the Atlantic in
under four hours, its excessive fuel consumption and maintenance expenses made it commercially
unsustainable. [II] Similarly, inventors without sufficient financial backing often cannot weather the
inevitable challenges of bringing products to market. Even promising inventions that secure initial funding
may disappear when investors grow impatient waiting for profits.
Technological and social contexts also critically influence an invention's longevity. Some
innovations vanish because they solve problems that eventually become irrelevant due to changing lifestyles
or newer technologies. Betamax videotapes offered superior quality to VHS but disappeared when VHS
achieved wider adoption through better marketing and longer recording times. Additionally, timing plays a
crucial role—inventions that arrive before necessary supporting technologies or infrastructure often fail
regardless of their merit. [III]
Examining specific cases of disappeared inventions reveals patterns worth noting for future
innovators. The hydrofoil boat, which literally lifted above water to reduce drag, vanished despite its
efficiency because of prohibitive manufacturing costs. Similarly, the promising bubble memory
Page 8
computer storage technology of the 1970s disappeared when faster alternatives emerged before it
could mature. Such examples demonstrate that successful innovation requires not just technical excellence
but also market awareness, proper timing, cost-effectiveness, and cultural acceptance. [IV] When inventions
disappear, they remind us that the path from brilliant idea to lasting impact involves navigating complex
economic, technological, and social landscapes.
Question 31: The phrase “make headway” in paragraph 1 has the closest meaning to _________.
A. break out B. come across C. turn around D. move forward
Question 32: Which factor affecting an invention's survival is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Economic feasibility and production costs
B. Public perception and cultural acceptance
C. Timing of market introduction
D. Patent protection and intellectual property rights
Question 33: Where in the paragraph does the following sentence best fit?
Public perception matters enormously too, with products sometimes rejected due to safety concerns or
ethical objections.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 34: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. Economic viability often determines invention survival, as high production costs, insufficient financial
backing, and impatient investors can doom even brilliant innovations.
B. Technological superiority is secondary to market timing, as shown by the Concorde jet's failure despite
its revolutionary speed due to premature introduction to global consumers.
C. Consumer adoption patterns ultimately decide which technologies prevail, as demonstrated by how
public rejection of costly alternatives like the Concorde shaped commercial aviation development.
D. Engineering excellence must be balanced with practical implementation, as inventors who ignore
manufacturing feasibility often see their innovations quickly fade into obscurity.
Question 35: The word “backing” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
A. assistance B. obstruction C. endorsement D. support
Question 36: The word “their” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. lifestyles B. technologies C. infrastructure D. inventions
Question 37: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Computer engineers abandoned development of bubble memory technology when they discovered
fundamental physical limitations that prevented it from achieving the theoretical speeds promised in early
research studies.
B. Despite significant investment throughout the 1970s, bubble memory storage never gained widespread
consumer acceptance because its manufacturing complexity made mass production prohibitively expensive.
C. Bubble memory storage technology showed great potential in the 1970s but failed to establish itself in the
market when speedier storage solutions were developed before it reached full technological maturity.
Page 9
D. The emergence of bubble memory storage in the 1970s represented a significant but short-lived
advancement as competing technologies with superior performance characteristics quickly rendered it
obsolete.
Question 38: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Concorde jet ultimately failed because the technological infrastructure needed to support supersonic
flight was never properly developed for commercial aviation markets.
B. Betamax video recording technology offered higher quality than VHS but lost market share because VHS
had superior marketing strategies and longer recording capabilities.
C. The hydrofoil boat completely disappeared from all transportation markets worldwide, primarily due to
public rejection based on widespread safety concerns about its design.
D. Successful innovations typically succeed primarily on their technical merits, with economic and social
factors playing only secondary roles in determining their market survival.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some technically superior inventions might have achieved lasting market success if they had been
introduced at more appropriate times or received adequate financial backing.
B. Most innovations that disappear from the marketplace do so because their inventors failed to secure
sufficient patent protection against competitive alternative technologies.
C. The primary reason promising technologies fail to achieve widespread adoption is typically the inability
of marketing teams to effectively communicate their practical benefits.
D. Public concerns about new technologies are generally exaggerated by media coverage and rarely
represent legitimate obstacles to the commercial success of innovations.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Successful inventions require more than technical excellence, as economic factors, proper timing,
supporting infrastructure, and social acceptance critically determine whether innovations survive or
disappear from the marketplace.
B. Throughout history, superior technologies like Betamax and hydrofoil boats have consistently failed
commercially because consumers typically prioritize affordability and convenience over quality and
technological advancement.
C. The primary reason promising inventions vanish is insufficient financial backing, as investors frequently
abandon potentially revolutionary technologies when development extends beyond expected timeframes or
profit margins fail to materialize.
D. Modern innovation follows predictable patterns wherein technically brilliant products initially generate
excitement but inevitably disappear unless their inventors secure proper patent protection and develop
comprehensive marketing strategies.
