Read the following passage about green living 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
Green living refers to a lifestyle that promotes sustainability and environmental consciousness. This way of life encourages
individuals to make choices that reduce their carbon footprint and conserve natural resources. Practices such as recycling,
using renewable energy sources, and reducing waste are fundamental aspects of green living. By adopting these practices,
individuals can contribute to the preservation of the environment and promote a healthier planet for future generations.
One significant component of green living is the use of renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are
examples of renewable energy that can replace fossil fuels. Using renewable energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions and
dependence on non-renewable resources. Additionally, renewable energy sources are often more sustainable and have less
impact on the environment.
Another important aspect of green living is sustainable consumption. This involves choosing products that are environmentally
friendly and responsibly sourced. For example, buying locally produced food reduces the carbon footprint associated with
transportation. Moreover, opting for products made from recycled materials helps conserve resources and reduce waste.
Green living also emphasizes the importance of conserving water and energy. Simple actions such as turning off lights when
not in use, fixing leaks, and using energy-efficient appliances can significantly reduce energy and water consumption. These
practices not only benefit the environment but also save money on utility bills.
Education and awareness play a crucial role in promoting green living. By educating individuals about the benefits of
sustainable practices and how to implement them, communities can foster a culture of environmental responsibility. Awareness
campaigns, workshops, and educational programs are effective ways to encourage people to adopt green living practices.

Read the following passage about the benefits and challenges of remote work 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] The rise of remote work has transformed the modern workplace, offering flexibility and a better work-life balance for
employees around the world (Bloom et al., 2015). [II] This trend, accelerated by technological advancements and the COVID-
19 pandemic, allows employees to work from home or any location with internet access (Gajendran & Harrison, 2007). [III]
While remote work provides numerous benefits, it also presents challenges that organizations and employees must address to
remain productive and engaged. [IV]
One of the main benefits of remote work is increased flexibility. Employees can manage their time more effectively, which
often leads to higher job satisfaction and reduced stress. Furthermore, remote work eliminates the need for daily commutes,
saving time and reducing transportation expenses. Many employees report feeling more empowered to control their schedules,
allowing them to better balance personal and professional responsibilities.
However, remote work also comes with significant challenges. Isolation is a common issue, as employees miss out on face-to-
face interactions and team bonding, which are important for mental well-being and collaboration. Studies have shown that
prolonged isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness, reducing job satisfaction and affecting mental health (Ozcelik &
Barsade, 2018). Additionally, remote workers may struggle to maintain boundaries between work and personal life, leading to
overwork and burnout.
To make remote work successful, companies need to implement strategies that support employee well-being and productivity.
Providing tools for virtual collaboration, setting clear work-life boundaries, and encouraging regular team check-ins can help
mitigate the challenges of remote work. By balancing flexibility with structured support, organizations can create a sustainable
remote work environment that benefits both employers and employees (Larson & DeChurch, 2020).
