Read the following passage about Balancing Growth and Conservation 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.
Modern cities face the formidable challenge of accommodating burgeoning populations while
mitigating environmental degradation. Urban sustainability has emerged as a paramount concern as
metropolises worldwide grapple with reconciling economic development and ecological preservation. This
dichotomy presents urban planners with complex dilemmas that necessitate innovative solutions. The
repercussions of unchecked urban sprawl manifest in various forms, including habitat fragmentation,
increased carbon emissions, and diminished quality of life for residents.
Pioneering municipalities have implemented multifaceted approaches to address these challenges.
Green infrastructure initiatives, such as vertical gardens and permeable pavements, ameliorate urban heat
islands while enhancing biodiversity. These interventions not only embellish cityscapes but also furnish
tangible ecological benefits. Progressive urban centers have additionally embraced transit-oriented
development, incentivizing high-density housing near public transportation hubs. This paradigm shift
curtails automotive dependency and fosters walkable neighborhoods, thereby reducing the carbon footprint
of daily commutes.
Despite these promising innovations, the transition toward sustainable urbanism encounters
formidable impediments. Entrenched economic interests often resist regulatory changes that might constrain
development opportunities. Municipal budgets frequently lack sufficient allocation for sustainability
initiatives, relegating them to peripheral concerns rather than core priorities. Furthermore, retrofitting
existing infrastructure presents logistical challenges that surpass those of implementing sustainable designs
in new developments. These obstacles notwithstanding, the imperative for sustainable urban evolution
remains incontrovertible.
The trajectory of urban sustainability hinges on collaborative governance and technological
advancement. Smart city technologies offer unprecedented capabilities for optimizing resource utilization
through their real-time monitoring and adaptive management systems. Concurrently, participatory planning
processes empower communities to contribute to sustainable development agendas. Such inclusive
approaches ensure that interventions address local needs while advancing broader sustainability objectives.
By integrating technological innovation with community engagement, cities can forge pathways toward
resilient urban futures that balance growth imperatives with conservation priorities.

Read the following passage about the Balancing Productivity and 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.
In today's hypercompetitive corporate landscape, traditional work paradigms that prioritize
productivity at the expense of employee well-being have finally met their match. Progressive organizations
now recognize that sustainable performance requires holistic wellness initiatives that address both
physiological and psychological health. [I] The relentless pursuit of efficiency without consideration for
human factors often culminates in burnout, absenteeism, and diminished output quality. Consequently,
workplace wellness has transcended from being merely a trendy corporate perk to an indispensable strategic
imperative that fosters organizational resilience and longevity.
The physical dimension of workplace wellness encompasses ergonomic interventions, nutrition
optimization, and activity integration. Ergonomically designed workstations mitigate musculoskeletal
disorders, while standing desks and movement-conducive office layouts counteract the deleterious effects of
Page 8
sedentary behavior. [II] Furthermore, structured physical activity programs—ranging from on-site fitness
facilities to subsidized gym memberships—enable employees to maintain cardiovascular health and
muscular integrity, thereby enhancing cognitive function and attentional capacity during work hours.
Mental well-being constitutes an equally crucial component of comprehensive workplace wellness
strategies. Chronic occupational stress precipitates cognitive impairment, emotional dysregulation, and
compromised decision-making capabilities. Organizations can ameliorate these effects through mindfulness
training, psychological safety protocols, and workload calibration. Flexible scheduling and remote work
options acknowledge the importance of work-life integration, allowing employees to fulfill personal
obligations without professional penalties. [III] Additionally, destigmatizing mental health discussions and
providing confidential counseling services creates an environment where psychological distress can be
addressed proactively rather than reactively.
The implementation of robust wellness initiatives yields multifaceted organizational benefits beyond
individual health improvements. [IV] Companies with comprehensive wellness programs report significant
reductions in healthcare expenditures, insurance premiums, and absenteeism-related costs. Enhanced
employee engagement translates to improved retention rates, reducing the substantial expenses
associated with recruitment and training. Most importantly, when organizations demonstrate authentic
concern for employee well-being, they cultivate a culture of reciprocal loyalty and discretionary effort. The
most effective wellness strategies evolve through collaborative design, incorporating employee input and
adapting to emerging health research to ensure sustained relevance and utilization.

A. teamed up with B. looked down on C. come up against D. kept pace with
Question 32: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a component of physical workplace wellness?

Nutritional well-being can be facilitated through the provision of wholesome meal options, hydration
stations, and educational resources on dietary choices.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 34: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Mental wellness is as vital as physical health, with workplace stress causing cognitive and emotional
issues that organizations can address through mindfulness training, safety protocols, flexible scheduling, and
destigmatizing mental health discussions.
Page 9
B. Companies should prioritize employee schedules and remote work options above all other interventions,
as these flexibility measures are proven to be the most effective strategy for preventing mental health
challenges in today's demanding workplace environments.
C. Mental health discussions remain stigmatized in most workplaces despite evidence showing that
counseling services and psychological interventions can significantly reduce absenteeism and improve
organizational productivity across all industry sectors.
D. Occupational stress inevitably leads to cognitive impairment unless organizations implement
comprehensive counseling programs that focus primarily on reactive treatment rather than preventative
measures for employee mental health concerns.
Question 35: The word “ameliorate” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
A. rectify B. alleviate C. mitigate D. exacerbate
Question 36: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

organizations save significant money on hiring and training new staff.
C. Retention rates automatically improve once companies invest in recruitment and training programs that
emphasize employee engagement techniques.
