Read the following passage about 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 23 to 30.
The tech job market has gotten more complex, with difficulties such as layoffs, talent shortages, and
the quick rise of new technologies. Hiring managers face a daunting task in this turbulent landscape, as
they must adapt to these shifting dynamics to secure the skills their organizations require. Understanding
the peculiarities of the present labor market is critical for making sound hiring decisions.
The tech job market is currently presenting a problem. On one hand, many companies have
implemented layoffs, on the other, many struggle to find employees with the necessary skill sets. This
disparity is due to the changing nature of technology and the specialized skills in demand.
Companies are increasingly seeking specialized talents, particularly in machine learning and
cybersecurity. These abilities enable businesses to use developing technologies efficiently.
As artificial intelligence continues to automate mundane operations, the demand for entry-level jobs
has decreased. According to Greg Tomasik, artificial intelligence has reduced the requirement for junior
engineers by 80-90%. This move does not imply that AI will eliminate all technical occupations. Instead,
it underscores the rising necessity for skilled professionals who can work alongside advanced
technologies.
Looking ahead, various things will have an impact on the tech job market. For example, as borrowing
rates fall, startups may enjoy an increase in funding. This boost in investment may result in additional job
opportunities for skilled workers. However, competition for specialized expertise will heat up, allowing
employees to bargain for better pay and workplace flexibility. Companies must recognize this trend, as
Matt Doucette points out that businesses are often hesitant to take risks in the current economic climate.
They seek the ideal individual while also striving to maximize revenue.
Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor affecting the tech job market?
A. The đevelopment of artificial intelligence
B. The lack of employees with the necessary skill sets.
C. The increase in government regulations on hiring
D. The impact of borrowing rates on startups

Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. Technology is advancing too quickly for businesses to adapt.
B. The demand for skilled workers has remained the same despite technological advancements.
C. The job market is struggling because companies are hiring employees with outdated skills
D. The evolution of technology and demand for specific skills has caused an imbalance in the job market
Question 28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Many companies have too many employees but still struggle to fill specialized roles
B. Lower borrowing rates may lead to fewer job opportunities for skilled workers
C. AI has completely replaced junior engineers in the tech industry
D. Hiring managers must adapt to changing market dynamics to find the right talent.
Question 29. In which paragraph does the writer mention the difficulty hiring managers face in the
current job market?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
Question 30. In which paragraph does the writer mention the effect of AI on junior engineers?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 2 D. Paragraph 3
Read the following passage about the commercialization of sports 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 31 to 40.
[I] These days, sports is a major money-making business for people selling sportswear and other
merchandise. [II] In December 2022, I was in Qatar, where the World Cup was held. [III] Their jerseys
even bore the numbers of football heroes. [IV]
The sports arena has become a hunting ground for advertisers and salespeople from various
industries. Sports celebrities do not just endorse sports gear, they are also roped in to sell anything from
liquor to luxurious items such as watches and automobiles. Hence, sports has become a major industry in
itself. Famous sports personalities who promote the products of various companies stand to earn hefty
sums of endorsement money, which, for the majority of them, far exceeds the income they earn from
playing their respective sports.
Does this diminish the significance of sports itself? Some people argue that it does, while others
disagree. There are people who feel that money will corrupt sportsmen and turn them into mercenary
opportunists. They would rather see the return of sports that do without the lure of such financial gains.
Others feel that it helps to promote sports as the money the advertisers and product companies put in can
be used to maintain fields, tracks, and other equipment of facilities used by the sportsmen. It would be
quite disheartening to sit in a leaky stadium with uncomfortable benches, watching a football game for
two hours. Likewise, with the spruced-up images of the games and the players, people will be more
attracted to the different sports and hence will be more likely to take them up as hobbies or forms of
exercise.
We have witnessed the rise in the popularity of sports such as tennis, basketball, and football. The

5
media coverage of these sporting events is only possible because of the money invested by companies to
bring the sports, and of course their products, closer to the homes of the masses.
