The following text is for questions 1 to 4.

There was a daughter who complained to her father that her life was miserable.
She was tired of fighting all her life and didn't know what else to do. It seemed like the
problems never ended they just kept coming. Once one problem was solved, another
problem appeared. The Father took her to the kitchen.
The Father took three pots and filled them with water before placing them on
the fire. After the water in the three pots started to boil, he placed a potato in the first
pot, an egg in the second pot, and coffee grounds in the third pot. He sat back and
waited without saying a word to his daughter. The Daughter grumbled and waited
impatiently, wondering what her father was doing. after 20 minutes, he turned off the
fire.
He picked up the potato and put it into a bowl. Then, he took the egg and put it
into a bowl. After that, he took the now-boiled coffee water and put it in a cup. After
doing all that, he asked the Daughter, "Kid, what do you see?" "Potato, egg, and
coffee," she quickly answered. "Look closely," said her father, "Hold the potato," the
Daughter did so. The potatoes were soft.
Then, she was asked to peel the egg. She observed that the egg was hard-
boiled. Finally, she was asked to inhale the fragrant aroma of coffee, which made her
smile.
"Father, what are you trying to say by doing all this?" she asked. The Father then
explained that the potato, egg, and coffee grounds had the same challenge. They were
put in boiling water.
However, each reacted differently. The hard potato turns soft and weak after
being put into boiling water. The fragile egg, which was only covered with a thin shell
when placed in boiling water, the content of the egg became hard. The coffee was the
most unique of all. After being put into boiling water, the coffee grounds and the water
turned into something new.
"Which one are you?" he asked his daughter. "When challenges and difficulties knock
on your door, how do you respond? Are you the potato, the egg, or the coffee ground?
My child in this life, everything happens around us. However, we are the ones who
determine what we will become either weaker, stronger, or something new. Which one
do you choose?"

The following text is for questions 6 to 10.

A tropical cyclone is a strong wind with vortex speeds reaching 120 km/hour or
more. It can also be called large, very strong storms. however, how do tropical
cyclones form?
Tropical cyclones form in a sea of hot temperatures. Hot water will, of course,
evaporate quickly, The amount of water vapor that comes form the ocean of is very
large. The water vapor then rises and forms cumulonimbus cloud. Within this cloud,
there is a very strong wind vortex. The wind vortex will get stronger so that it swirls,
and a tropical cyclone will form.
Tropical cyclones usually occur accompanied by heavy rain. Why do those
happen? Tropical cyclones form from collections of clouds. inside a typhoon, there are
lots of clouds. these clouds bring heavy rain. when a tropical cyclones occurs the sky
will be covered with clouds.
Tropical Cyclones often knock down houses and trees. They can even blow
away anything nearby. Therefore, when a tropical cyclone occurs, it is necessary to
take disaster preparedness measure such as taking shelter in a sturdy building and
avoiding tall buildings like trees, electricity poles, and the like.

6. The title that best describes the occurrence of a typhoon in the text is....
A. "The Role of Hot Seas in Tropical Cyclones Formation"
B. "Safety Measures for Dealing with Tropical Cyclones Disasters"
C. "The Science Behind Rain Formation"
D. "Understanding the Formation of Tropical Cyclones"
E. "The Impact of Tropical Cyclones: Heavy Rain and Destructive Winds"

7. How do tropical cyclones form, and what role does hot water play in their
development?
A. "Hot water evaporates quickly. It leads to the formation of large amounts of water
vapor, which then rises and forms cumulonimbus clouds.
B. A hot water tropical cyclone is characterized by a strong wind with vortexes that
reach speeds of 120 km/hour or more.
C. Tropical cyclones consist of collections of hot water, and these clouds within the
tropical cyclone system result in heavy rainfall as they release moisture.
D. Hot water can cause significant damage due to its strong winds, which can knock
down houses and trees and even blow away nearby objects.
E. Disaster preparedness measures for tropical cyclones include taking shelter in a
sturdy building.

8. Why is it important to take disaster preparedness measures during a tropical

9. To minimize the risk of harm, people should avoid all, except ...
A. Standing near electricity poles
B. Taking shelter in sturdy buildings
C. Collecting pamphlets in the storm
D. Climbing tall trees for a better view
E. Playing hide and seek in an open area

10. The sequence of how tropical cyclones form and develop is...
A. Warm ocean water - evaporation-cumulonimbus cloud formation – tropical
cyclones formation.
B. Evaporation-warm ocean water - tropical cyclones formation - cumulonimbus
cloud formation.
C. Warm ocean water-tropical cyclones formation - cumulonimbus cloud formation –
evaporation.
D. Evaporation-warm ocean water-tropical cyclones formation - cumulonimbus cloud
formation.
