option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 36 to 40.
 Urbanization, (36) ., has been a defining trend of the 21st century. While this 
phenomenon has brought about numerous benefits, including increased economic opportunities and 
improved access to services, it has also had a profound impact on local communities, often leading to 
their decline. The rapid growth of cities has led to a mass exodus from rural areas, (37) .. This 
migration has resulted in a brain drain from smaller communities, with young, educated individuals being 
the most likely to leave. As a result, many rural areas have older populations and fewer workers, making 
it difficult to support local economies and basic services.
(38) .. As cities grow, they encroach upon surrounding rural areas, leading to the loss of 
farmland and green spaces. This (39) ., further eroding the character of rural communities.

Read the following passage about thriving in a VUCA world and mark the letter A, B, C or D to 
indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
 THRIVING IN A VUCA WORLD
 The acronym VUCA, standing for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity, (13) 
.. Originating from the U.S. Army War College, its relevance has expanded far beyond military 
strategy, now influencing how organizations approach strategic planning and leadership development 
globally.
 Volatility, the first component, refers to the rapid and unpredictable nature of change, (14) 
.. Uncertainty, the second element, highlights the lack of predictability regarding future events 
and outcomes, even when information about current conditions is available. This makes forecasting 
extremely difficult, requiring adaptive approaches rather than rigid long-term plans. (15) .. 
Complexity, on the other hand, describes situations where numerous interconnected factors and variables 
interact, making it challenging to understand cause-and-effect relationships or to predict the consequences 
of actions. (16) .. Finally, ambiguity arises when information is incomplete, contradictory, or 
unclear, leading to multiple interpretations and making decision-making inherently difficult.
 To effectively navigate this dynamic environment, organizations are increasingly adopting agile 
methodologies and fostering a culture of continuous learning. Such an approach enables them to respond 
quickly to unforeseen challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities effectively. (17) ., 
which are crucial for maintaining resilience and fostering innovation in an ever-evolving world. (Adapted from TechTarget – What is VUCA?)

Read the following passage about Rage Bait in the digital age and mark the letter A, B, C or D to 
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
 RAGE BAIT IN THE DIGITAL AGE
 “Rage bait” is a type of online content created to make people feel angry or upset. It has become 
increasingly common in today’s digital world, where attention is considered a valuable resource. Unlike 
traditional media, modern platforms rely on algorithms to determine what users see, often promoting 
content that receives the highest level of interaction.
 Interestingly, although many users claim to dislike negative or manipulative content, they still 
interact with it regularly. Research suggests that emotions such as anger can push people to react quickly by commenting or sharing posts. This reaction is partly connected to human evolution, as anger once helped 
people respond to threats. However, in the online environment, such reactions are often triggered by minor 
or insignificant issues.
 Social media algorithms play an important role in spreading rage bait. These systems aim to 
maximize user engagement and do not differentiate between positive and negative reactions. As a result, 
emotionally charged content is more likely to reach a wider audience. This situation encourages content 
creators to produce increasingly contentious posts in order to attract attention.
 The impact of rage bait extends beyond online activity. Experts warn that continuous exposure to 
such content may lead to stress, anxiety, and a more negative perception of reality. Although some 
platforms have attempted to control harmful content, these efforts have had limited success. 
Therefore, users are advised to develop critical thinking skills and be more selective about the content they 
engage with.
