Read the following passage 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 1 to 10.
[I] This technology overlays virtual objects and information onto real-world environments, creating
interactive experiences that were once unimaginable. [II] AR is making waves in education, gaming, and
even social interactions, promising a future where technology feels more integrated into our daily lives.
[III] Very soon, AR could revolutionize every aspect of how we interact with information and
entertainment, making the virtual world seem as real as the one around us. [IV]
In education, AR is proving to be a powerful tool for engagement and understanding. Students can
now explore a 3D model of the solar system in their classrooms or dissect a virtual frog without harming a
real one. These experiences bring lessons to life, making complex topics easier to grasp. AR also fosters
creativity, encouraging students to think outside the box and engage with their studies in new ways. With
AR, learning is no longer confined to textbooks and lectures. It allows students to start strong and
immediately apply what they learn, helping them dive into real-world scenarios with ease.
The entertainment industry is another area which AR has a significant impact on. Games like
Pokémon Go have shown how AR can create immersive, real-world experiences that capture the
imagination of millions. In the future, AR could revolutionize how we watch movies, attend concerts, or
even try on clothes while shopping online. Imagine sitting in your living room and having a holographic
performance appear right before your eyes. AR can also break the mold, introducing groundbreaking
ways to entertain audiences and keep them engaged like never before. The possibilities are endless.
AR is truly a golden opportunity to reshape our interaction with the world. However, like any new
technology, it comes with challenges. Developers and educators must ensure that AR is accessible, user-
friendly, and free from misuse. With thoughtful innovation, AR has the potential to become a game-
changer in both education and entertainment, bridging the gap between imagination and reality.

Read the following passage about apologies 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 28 to 35.
Apologies have the power to heal and restore relationships, whether personal or professional.
Admitting mistakes and showing regret demonstrates humility and respect for the other person’s feelings.
Apologies are not just about saying the right words—they show a willingness to take responsibility. This
can rebuild trust, mend relationships, and strengthen connections. Whether between friends, family, or
colleagues, a genuine apology helps to heal and move forward.
A true apology goes beyond words. It involves recognizing the harm caused, expressing sincere
regret, and, when needed, offering solutions or compensation. For example, if someone misses an
important work deadline, simply saying "sorry" might not be enough. Offering a plan to fix the mistake or
prevent it from happening again shows accountability and makes the apology more meaningful. Without
these steps, apologies may seem empty and fail to resolve the real issue.
In the workplace, apologies are essential for resolving conflicts. When a manager apologizes for an
error, it creates a sense of fairness and respect within the team. Employees who feel heard and appreciated
are more likely to trust their leaders and work better together. Apologies can turn mistakes into opportunities
to strengthen teamwork and improve workplace culture. They also encourage open communication, helping
employees feel safe to express concerns and fostering a healthier work environment.
Some people hesitate to apologize because they think it shows weakness. In reality, it takes courage
to admit mistakes and "swallow one’s pride". Apologizing shows emotional maturity and sets an example
for others to take responsibility. In both personal and professional settings, a heartfelt apology can turn
conflicts into chances for growth and better understanding.
Question 28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a result of apologizing?
A. Strengthening connections B. Rebuilding trust

building teamwork.

A. Apologies benefit both personal and family relationships.
B. A simple "sorry" is sufficient in workplace conflicts.
