Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions
While space exploration captivates many, it's crucial to acknowledge both its potential benefits and
inherent drawbacks. One significant advantage lies in scientific discovery. By venturing beyond Earth, we
can gather invaluable data about other planets, stars, and galaxies, expanding our understanding of the
universe and our place within it. This knowledge can lead to breakthroughs in fields like physics,
astronomy, and even medicine.
Furthermore, space exploration encourages technological advancements. The challenges of designing
spacecraft and equipment capable of withstanding extreme conditions often result in the development of
innovative technologies with applications here on Earth. For example, materials initially designed for
spacesuits have found their way into everyday products, improving our lives in unexpected ways.
However, the cost of space exploration cannot be ignored. The vast sums of money required for space
missions could be directed towards more immediate concerns on Earth, such as poverty, hunger, and
climate change. Critics argue that prioritizing space exploration diverts resources from addressing
pressing global issues.
Another drawback is the potential environmental impact. Launching rockets into space releases
pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and potentially exacerbating climate change.
Additionally, space debris from previous missions poses a collision risk to future spacecraft, highlighting
the need for responsible space exploration practices.
Question 31 : What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To highlight only the negative impacts of space exploration.
B. To convince the reader that space exploration is essential.

A. t's not technologically advanced enough.
B. It doesn't create jobs in the space industry.
C. It doesn't provide enough scientific knowledge.
