indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 12 to 19.
 Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing all living organisms, from 
the smallest bacteria to the largest animals and plants. While biodiversity has always been essential for 
the planet’s stability, recent studies show that it is rapidly declining. Human activities such as 
deforestation, pollution, and climate change are driving species to extinction at an unprecedented rate. 
According to experts, nearly one million species are at risk of disappearing in the next few decades.
 The loss of biodiversity is not just an environmental issue; it also threatens human survival. 
Biodiversity helps regulate ecosystems and provides services that are crucial for human life, 
including air and water purification, climate regulation, and pollination of crops. Without these 
services, life as we know it would be much more difficult to sustain.
 In response, many organizations are working to protect biodiversity. For example, conservation 
efforts in areas like the Amazon Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef are crucial for maintaining 
global biodiversity. However, these efforts face challenges, such as insufficient funding and the need 
for better public awareness.
 One potential solution to the problem is the use of technology. Scientists have developed methods for studying remote ecosystems using satellites and drones, which can monitor biodiversity 
without disturbing fragile habitats. This innovation could provide valuable data to support conservation 
efforts in areas that are difficult to access.
 Finally, individuals can also play a part in protecting biodiversity. By supporting sustainable 
practices, such as reducing waste, choosing eco-friendly products, and conserving water, people can
help preserve the delicate balance of life on Earth. Each action, no matter how small, can contribute to a 
larger movement to safeguard the planet’s biodiversity.

Read the following passage about education in Nepal 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 26 to 35.
 [I] Social media has rapidly changed how people communicate, making it easier than ever to connect 
 with friends and family. [II] Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow people to share 
 updates, photos, and ideas instantly, connecting users from all around the world. [III] However, the shift 
 to online communication also brings challenges, such as reduced face-to-face interactions, and for 
 many, the art of personal, meaningful conversation is becoming lost. [IV] Additionally, social media 
 influences public opinion and spreads information quickly, which can have both positive and negative 
 impacts on users' perception of current events.
 While social media connects people globally, it has also led to an increased risk of misinformation. 
 When incorrect information spreads, it can have significant consequences. For example, rumors or 
 misleading news can shape opinions on important issues or damage reputations unfairly. Additionally, 
 platforms that encourage the rapid sharing of content often prioritize engagement over accuracy, which 
 only worsens the spread of false information. To address this, social media companies are beginning to 
 implement fact-checking systems and remove harmful content, though these measures are not foolproof.
 Despite these efforts, social media remains a powerful tool for influencing public discourse. Many 
 people rely on social platforms for news and updates, making them crucial channels for political 
 campaigns and social movements. In recent years, social media has played a pivotal role in organizing 
 protests, spreading awareness on social issues, and amplifying voices that may otherwise go unheard. 
 From climate change activism to political campaigns, social media continues to drive social change 
 across the globe—a true force to be reckoned with.
 As social media’s role in communication continues to evolve, individuals are urged to use it 
 responsibly. Educators, parents, and policymakers emphasize the importance of teaching people, 
 especially young users, to critically evaluate the information they encounter online. Responsible usage 
 not only helps combat misinformation but also promotes constructive dialogue in an increasingly 
 connected world. Social media is an indispensable tool, but like any tool, it requires careful use to yield 
 the best results.

 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the questions.
 Being a teenager in these troubled times isn’t exactly a walk in the park. The uncertainty only adds to 
the typical list of the problems you’re already facing. So, what are the challenges you are up against and 
how can you weather the storm and arrive safely on the other side?
 As a teenager, the biggest challenge you, your family and friends face is mood swings. One minute you 
feel ecstatic, full of confidence and optimism and the next you feel depressed, angry at the world and 
certain that you are a failure. Personal appearance also becomes a huge issue. The hormones racing through 
your body play havoc with your self-image. Suddenly, you have become too fat, too thin, too ugly, too 
short, too tall; your hair is too dark, too light, too curly, too straight, etc. In short, you are completely 
dissatisfied with your appearance.
 Relationships with the others also become more complicated. You may find you no longer have that 
much in common with the friends you’ve been hanging around with for years. It can also be distressing 
when a former best friend now prefers to spend time with other friends. As for family relationships, well, it 
often seems that a war has been declared, and parents and siblings have become the enemy.
 But it needn’t all be doom and gloom. The teenage years are unique in a person’s life. They mark the 
end of childhood and the important passage to adulthood. The key to a happy “teenhood” is to recognise 
that no matter how your emotions change or how insecure you feel about yourself, you are perfectly 
normal! Everyone, big or small, experiences feelings of depression and anxiety from time to time. But here 
are a few tips to help you get through your darkest moments.
 Confiding in someone has got to be the first tip. If you keep negative feelings in, you’ll reach a point 
where you think you’re going to explode. Talk about how you are feeling with someone you can trust. 
Even if they can’t give you the advice you need, just getting it off your chest can make a world of 
difference.
 But, what can you do if you’re at exploding point and there’s no one to talk to? If you want to avoid 
conflict with others, go somewhere on your own for a minute or two. Take time to breathe properly. When 
we are in stressful situations our breathing becomes short and rushed, and as a result less oxygen reaches 
the brain. This can heighten negative feelings that we have. One technique is to close one nostril with your 
thumb and inhale, then close the other nostril with your index finger and exhale as you release your thumb 
from the first nostril. Do this at least ten times and your breathing will return to normal and you will feel 
much calmer in next to no time.
 Physical exercise like running, cycling and swimming are also great ways to clear the mind and they 
have the added bonus of keeping you fit. If you do this whenever you’re down, you’ll also start to feel 
better about yourself and your body. There is no need to push yourself to the limits, though. Listen to your 
body and stop when it says “No more!”
 Finally, always try to focus on the positive aspects of your life. Being a teenager means you have more freedom. Use it in constructive ways so that feelings of frustration are replaced by feelings of 
accomplishment.

 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the questions.
 These days it is easy for most of us to get a hold of the latest books or magazines. We can go to 
bookstores, order them through the Internet, or borrow them from the local libraries. Now imagine having 
to walk miles and miles through a hot sandy desert just to borrow a book. This is the reality for people 
living in the villages of the Garissa region of Kenya in East Africa.
 In 1996, librarian Wycliffe Oluoch used to spend each day waiting for people to come to borrow some of the 24,000 books in his library in Garissa. The library had no shortage of books, but people 
weren’t coming to read them. It was too much effort to walk through the desert just to borrow books. 
Oluoch racked his brain for ways to entice people into the library. After a lot of thought, he hit upon a great 
idea. If people wouldn’t come to the library, then he would have to take the library to them. Oluoch 
strapped boxes of books onto the backs of camels, and created the Mobile Camel Library.
 Starting with three camels in 1996, but more recently expanding the service to six camels, the 
Mobile Camel Library serves over one million people. Twice a month, the camel library can be seen
carrying books all around the Garissa region. These hard-working animals need little water and can carry 
up to 500 pounds of books across the sands. A librarian, a library assistant, a herdsman, and a lookout all 
travel with the camels. The lookout helps protect the books from thieves.
 The children of Garissa love the camel library and appreciate Oluoch’s effort. Eleven-year-old 
Mohamud Mohamed reads his library books carefully and always returns them on time. He knows the 
Carissa library punishes people for losing books, just like any other library. However, the punishment is 
very stiff compared to that of other libraries. If a village loses a book, the camel library stops visiting.
Question 39. What is the main idea of this reading?
 A. A mobile camel library was invented. B. Camels can carry up to 500 pounds.
 C. Wycliffe Oluoch is a smart man. D. Lookouts are necessary because of thieves.
Question 40. Which of the following do NOT travel with the Mobile Camel Library?
 A. People who work in the library B. People who take care of the camels
 C. People who borrow the books D. People who guard the books
Question 41. Why do you think people did not visit the library in Garissa?
 A. It was too difficult to walk there. B. People in Garissa didn’t like reading.
 C. People didn’t like the camels. D. There were too few books.
Question 42. What makes camels good animals to carry books in the dessert?
 A. The camels carry books twice a month. B. They travel well together.
 C. They are strong and don’t need much water. D. The children love the camels.
Question 43. Which of the following best describe the meaning of the word “punish” in paragraph 4?
 A. Treat someone badly B. Take away something good
 C. Make someone feel pain D. Send someone to a small place
