"Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other

absorption of light by pigments, such as chlorophyll, and the conversion of carbon
dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through a series of chemical reactions. The
glucose produced through photosynthesis serves as an energy source for the plant and
is also used to create other organic molecules. Oxygen, on the other hand, is released
into the atmosphere and is used by animals for respiration. Photosynthesis plays a
crucial role in maintaining the balance of the Earth's atmosphere and is essential for the
survival of many living organisms."
A. to classify C. to enumerate
B. to explain D. to sequence (time order)

__________42. After reading and analyzing the following text, what was the author's purpose or
objective in writing it?
Animals can be grouped according to their physical characteristics,
behavior, and evolutionary history. Scientists use a hierarchical system of
classification called taxonomy to categorize animals into different groups, starting
from the broadest category, the Kingdom, down to the most specific category, the
Species. Animals are first divided into two main groups, vertebrates (animals with
a backbone) and invertebrates (animals without a backbone). Vertebrates are
further divided into five groups, namely, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians,
and fish, based on their physical and behavioral characteristics. Invertebrates, on
the other hand, are divided into several groups such as insects, spiders,
crustaceans, mollusks, and worms, based on their physical features and
biological traits. Classification of animals helps scientists to better understand the
diversity of the animal kingdom and how different species are related to each
other.
A. to classify C. to enumerate
B. to explain D. to sequence (time order)

__________43. Examine the text below and identify the one that presents a chronological
sequence?
A. The Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases that surrounds the planet, held in
place by gravity. The atmosphere is composed of several different gases,
including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, as well as trace amounts of
other gases. These gases are vital for supporting life on Earth, as they help to
regulate the planet's temperature and protect it from harmful radiation from the
sun. The atmosphere also plays a crucial role in the water cycle, as it contains
water vapor that can condense to form clouds and precipitation. Overall, the
Earth's atmosphere is a complex system that plays a critical role in sustaining
life on the planet.
B. The life cycle of a butterfly follows a specific sequence of events, which can be
described using time order. First, a butterfly starts its life as an egg, which
hatches into a caterpillar. The caterpillar then undergoes a series of molts,
shedding its skin several times as it grows. After reaching its full size, the
caterpillar forms a chrysalis, in which it undergoes metamorphosis and
transforms into a butterfly. The butterfly emerges from the chrysalis with wet
and crumpled wings, which it pumps full of fluid to expand and dry. Once its
wings are dry, the butterfly can fly and begins the search for a mate to start the
cycle again. Understanding the time order of a butterfly's life cycle is important
for scientists studying its biology and for educators teaching students about
the natural world.
C. There are three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. These colors cannot be
created by mixing other colors together and are therefore considered
fundamental. By combining these primary colors, other colors can be created,
such as orange (by mixing red and yellow) or green (by mixing yellow and
blue). The combination of all three primary colors results in white light, while
the absence of any colors results in black. Understanding the primary colors
and their combinations is essential in fields such as art, design, and color
theory.
D. A computer can be classified into three main types: desktop, laptop, and
tablet. Desktop computers are large and stationary, consisting of a separate
monitor, keyboard, and central processing unit (CPU). Laptops are portable
and have a built-in screen, keyboard, and CPU, making them easy to carry
and use on the go. Tablets are similar to laptops but have a touchscreen
interface and a more compact design. Within each type of computer, there are
also further subcategories based on features such as processing power,
storage capacity, and graphics capabilities. Understanding the different types

Page 6 of 8
 of computers and their features is essential when choosing the right computer
for a particular task.
