from 23 to 30.
In recent years, the issue of environmental conservation has gained significant attention. People around

to adopt sustainable practices to protect our environment for future generations.
One of the primary reasons to conserve the environment is the preservation of natural resources.
Forests, oceans, and rivers provide essential resources such as clean air, freshwater, and food. Without these
resources, life on Earth would be unsustainable. Additionally, conserving biodiversity helps maintain the
balance of ecosystems, ensuring that various species can thrive.
Furthermore, individuals can contribute to environmental conservation by making small changes in
their daily lives. Simple actions, such as recycling, reducing waste, and using public transport, can
significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Education and awareness are vital in motivating others to join
the cause.
 In conclusion, environmental conservation is not just a personal responsibility but a global necessity. By
working together, we can ensure a healthier planet for ourselves and future generations.

Read the following passage about the The Role of Art in Society 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.
As a medium for thought, feeling, and expression, art has always been vital to human civilization. Art
has come a long way from its cave paintings ancestors to its modern digital installations, but its core mission
of communicating ideas and emotions that cut across cultural and linguistic boundaries has remained
constant.
 [I]One of the primary functions of art is to inspire and provoke thought. Artists often tackle complex
social issues, using their work to challenge the status quo. [II]For instance, works of art that address topics
such as climate change, inequality, and human rights can raise awareness and encourage viewers to take
action. [III], inspiring movements and sparking conversations that might not occur otherwise. [IV]
Moreover, art fosters a sense of community. Public art installations, performances, and festivals bring
people together, creating shared experiences that strengthen social bonds. When individuals engage with art,
they often find common ground, enabling them to connect with one another on a deeper level. This
communal aspect of art can enhance cultural understanding and appreciation, breaking down barriers
between different groups.
Additionally, art serves as a historical record. Throughout history, artists have documented their
societies, capturing the essence of their times. For example, paintings from the Renaissance period provide
insights into the values and beliefs of that era, while contemporary art reflects the complexities of modern
life. By preserving these artistic expressions, future generations can learn about their cultural heritage and
the evolution of societal norms.
However, despite its significance, art often faces challenges. Funding for the arts is frequently among
the first areas to be cut in budget discussions. This lack of support can hinder artists' ability to create and
share their work, limiting the diversity of voices in the art world. Advocating for the arts is essential to
ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to express themselves and contribute to the cultural
landscape.
In conclusion, art is an invaluable component of society. It inspires, connects, and preserves our shared
experiences, while also challenging us to think critically about the world around us. As we continue to
navigate an ever-changing landscape, supporting and promoting the arts will be crucial in fostering
creativity and understanding among individuals and communities.
