Read the following passage about green living and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
Green living refers to a lifestyle that promotes sustainability and environmental consciousness. This way
of life encourages individuals to make choices that reduce their carbon footprint and conserve natural
resources. Practices such as recycling, using renewable energy sources, and reducing waste are
fundamental aspects of green living. By adopting these practices, individuals can contribute to the
preservation of the environment and promote a healthier planet for future generations.
One significant component of green living is the use of renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, and
hydroelectric power are examples of renewable energy that can replace fossil fuels. Using renewable
energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on non-renewable resources. Additionally,
renewable energy sources are often more sustainable and have less impact on the environment.
Another important aspect of green living is sustainable consumption. This involves choosing products
that are environmentally friendly and responsibly sourced. For example, buying locally produced food
reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation. Moreover, opting for products made from
recycled materials helps conserve resources and reduce waste.
Green living also emphasizes the importance of conserving water and energy. Simple actions such as
turning off lights when not in use, fixing leaks, and using energy-efficient appliances can significantly
reduce energy and water consumption. These practices not only benefit the environment but also save
money on utility bills.
Education and awareness play a crucial role in promoting green living. By educating individuals about the
benefits of sustainable practices and how to implement them, communities can foster a culture of
environmental responsibility. Awareness campaigns, workshops, and educational programs are effective
ways to encourage people to adopt green living practices.

Read the following passage about the benefits and challenges of remote work and mark the letter A, B,
C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
[I] The rise of remote work has transformed the modern workplace, offering flexibility and a better work-
life balance for employees around the world (Bloom et al., 2015). [II] This trend, accelerated by
technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic, allows employees to work from home or any
location with internet access (Gajendran & Harrison, 2007). [III] While remote work provides numerous
benefits, it also presents challenges that organizations and employees must address to remain productive
and engaged. [IV]
One of the main benefits of remote work is increased flexibility. Employees can manage their time more
effectively, which often leads to higher job satisfaction and reduced stress. Furthermore, remote work
eliminates the need for daily commutes, saving time and reducing transportation expenses. Many
employees report feeling more empowered to control their schedules, allowing them to better balance
personal and professional responsibilities.
However, remote work also comes with significant challenges. Isolation is a common issue, as employees
miss out on face-to-face interactions and team bonding, which are important for mental well-being and
collaboration. Studies have shown that prolonged isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness, reducing job
satisfaction and affecting mental health (Ozcelik & Barsade, 2018). Additionally, remote workers may
struggle to maintain boundaries between work and personal life, leading to overwork and burnout.
To make remote work successful, companies need to implement strategies that support employee well-
being and productivity. Providing tools for virtual collaboration, setting clear work-life boundaries, and
encouraging regular team check-ins can help mitigate the challenges of remote work. By balancing
flexibility with structured support, organizations can create a sustainable remote work environment that
benefits both employers and employees (Larson & DeChurch, 2020).
