Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.

In our hyper-connected world, smartphones, tablets, and laptops have become ubiquitous tools for work, communication, and entertainment. While these devices offer immense convenience, their constant presence has led to a new kind of modern ailment: digital overload. Many people report feeling anxious when they are away from their screens, and the constant stream of notifications can disrupt focus and harm mental well-being. This has given rise to the concept of a 'digital detox' – a period of time during which a person refrains from using electronic devices.

The primary goal of a digital detox is to reconnect with the world offline and reduce stress. By stepping away from the screen, individuals can experience numerous benefits. Studies have shown that reducing screen time, especially before bed, can lead to improved sleep quality. Without the constant mental stimulation of social media feeds and work emails, the mind is given a chance to rest and recharge, which can lead to increased focus and creativity upon returning to daily tasks. Furthermore, a detox can help people become more mindful and present in their interactions with others and their surroundings.

Successfully implementing a digital detox requires some planning. It's not always practical to go completely 'off-grid'. Instead, experts suggest starting with small, manageable steps. This could involve designating specific 'tech-free' zones in the house, such as the dining room, or setting aside certain times of the day for checking emails and social media. Turning off non-essential notifications is another simple yet effective strategy. Ultimately, the aim is to cultivate a healthier, more balanced relationship with technology, where it serves as a tool rather than a master.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.

As global populations increasingly concentrate in urban centres, ensuring a stable and sustainable food supply has become a critical challenge. Traditional agriculture, often located far from cities, faces issues of long-distance transportation, spoilage, and a significant carbon footprint. In response, a transformative movement is taking root: urban farming. This practice involves growing, processing, and distributing food in or around cities, turning underutilised spaces into productive green oases.

Urban farming manifests in various forms, each adapted to the unique constraints and opportunities of the city environment. Rooftop gardens transform barren surfaces into vibrant plots for vegetables and herbs. Community gardens foster social bonds as residents work together to cultivate shared land. Perhaps the most technologically advanced form is vertical farming, where crops are grown indoors in stacked layers, often using hydroponic or aeroponic systems. These controlled environments allow for year-round production, independent of weather conditions, and use significantly less water and land than conventional methods.

The benefits of urban farming are multi-faceted. Environmentally, it reduces 'food miles'—the distance food travels from farm to plate—thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions. [I] It also helps mitigate the urban heat island effect and can improve local biodiversity. [II] Socially, community gardens and farming projects strengthen neighbourhood ties and provide residents with access to fresh, nutritious produce. [III] These initiatives can be particularly impactful in 'food deserts', urban areas where affordable, healthy food is scarce. [IV] Economically, urban farming can create local jobs and stimulate new green-tech industries.

However, the path to a city that feeds itself is not without obstacles. High initial setup costs for technologies like vertical farming, limited available space, and zoning regulations can be significant barriers. Furthermore, specialized knowledge is required to manage these agricultural systems effectively. To overcome these hurdles, supportive municipal policies, community engagement, and continued innovation are essential. Despite the challenges, urban farming holds immense promise as a key component of resilient, sustainable cities of the future, reconnecting urban dwellers with the source of their food.

The benefits of urban farming are multi-faceted. Environmentally, it reduces 'food miles'—the distance food travels from farm to plate—thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions. [I] It also helps mitigate the urban heat island effect and can improve local biodiversity. [II] Socially, community gardens and farming projects strengthen neighbourhood ties and provide residents with access to fresh, nutritious produce. [III] These initiatives can be particularly impactful in 'food deserts', urban areas where affordable, healthy food is scarce. [IV] Economically, urban farming can create local jobs and stimulate new green-tech industries.

However, the path to a city that feeds itself is not without obstacles. High initial setup costs for technologies like vertical farming, limited available space, and zoning regulations can be significant barriers. Furthermore, specialized knowledge is required to manage these agricultural systems effectively. To overcome these hurdles, supportive municipal policies, community engagement, and continued innovation are essential. Despite the challenges, urban farming holds immense promise as a key component of resilient, sustainable cities of the future, reconnecting urban dwellers with the source of their food.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.

As global populations increasingly concentrate in urban centres, ensuring a stable and sustainable food supply has become a critical challenge. Traditional agriculture, often located far from cities, faces issues of long-distance transportation, spoilage, and a significant carbon footprint. In response, a transformative movement is taking root: urban farming. This practice involves growing, processing, and distributing food in or around cities, turning underutilised spaces into productive green oases.

Urban farming manifests in various forms, each adapted to the unique constraints and opportunities of the city environment. Rooftop gardens transform barren surfaces into vibrant plots for vegetables and herbs. Community gardens foster social bonds as residents work together to cultivate shared land. Perhaps the most technologically advanced form is vertical farming, where crops are grown indoors in stacked layers, often using hydroponic or aeroponic systems. These controlled environments allow for year-round production, independent of weather conditions, and use significantly less water and land than conventional methods.
