IV. Reading Comprehension

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

The media plays a vital role in shaping our understanding of the world. With the
advancement of technology, traditional media such as newspapers and radio have evolved
to include digital platforms like social media and online news websites. These forms of
mass media have become an essential part of daily life, allowing people to access
information quickly and efficiently.

Digital media is especially popular because of its instant updates and interactive features.
Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram enable users to share their thoughts,
read breaking news, and engage in discussions. However, the reliance on digital media
also brings challenges, including the spread of fake news and biased information. Not all
content found online is reliable, which can confuse readers and lead to misinformation.
To avoid this, it is important to fact-check information and rely on credible sources.

Despite the rise of digital media, traditional forms such as television and radio remain
important, especially in remote areas where internet access is limited. Broadcast
television is still a trusted source of news for many, while radio provides entertainment
and updates for those on the go. Furthermore, printed newspapers are considered more
credible because articles are fact-checked before publication.

The future of media is likely to be a balance between traditional and digital forms. While
digital media offers flexibility and instant access, traditional media provides credibility
and reliability. Both play significant roles in educating and connecting people. As society
continues to evolve, media will adapt to meet the changing needs of its audience,
ensuring that everyone has access to accurate and timely information.
