Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The world of social media is a strange and wondrous place. It's a world where you can connect with people from all over the globe, share your thoughts and opinions, and maybe even go viral if you're lucky. But let's be real, it's also a world filled with endless cat videos, oversharing, and drama.
One of the most interesting things about social media is the way it's changed the way we communicate. We've gone from long, thoughtful emails to quick, abbreviated messages with emojis and acronyms. And don't even get me started on the whole hashtag phenomenon. It's like we're all speaking a different language now.
But there are also some downsides to this constant connection. It's easy to get sucked into the world of social media and forget about the real world around us. We're so busy scrolling through our feeds that we forget to enjoy the little moments in life. And let's not forget about the pressure to present the perfect life online. It's like we're all in a competition to see who can be the most popular, the most successful, the most enviable.
Despite all of this, I have to admit, I'm still a fan of social media. It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family, and I've even made some new friends through various online communities. Plus, let's face it, sometimes you just need a good laugh at a ridiculous meme.

Question : Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
On the afternoon of her fortieth birthday, I called a friend to wish her well. I asked about her plans for the rest of the day and learned that a celebration had already taken place. In the morning, my friend, her two sisters and her husband had risen high into the Kentucky sky in a hot-air balloon. 'What was it like?' I asked. "Well, I don't know if I can explain it." she said. "I was so focused on the moment when it was actually happening."
What I learned from my friend that morning is that sometimes, to be in the moment, you must surrender to it completely. That's not to say you won't remember it later, though you may forfeit the chance to put the moment into words. And although I couldn't say exactly what my pal experienced that morning, I heard the thrill and awe in her voice.

To truly be present, one must live inside the moment and experience it for its own sake. If you live outside the moment - observing and explaining - you're no longer absorbing and feeling. The moment breaks apart and eventually disappears. Think of a movie. Sometimes it's impossible to explain what you've seen. On another level, though, one you can't necessarily pinpoint, you know that once you begin dissecting your experience, you take away from it as well.

Question:
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
 

Option 1: To truly be present, one must live inside the moment and experience it for others sake.
 

Option 2: To truly be present, one must live outside the moment and experience it for others' sake.
 

Option 3: To truly be present, one must live inside the moment and experience it for his/her own sake.
 

Option 4: To truly be present, one must live inside the moment and experience it.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in 'The Republic' (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic, including facts, skills, physical discipline, music, and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence are not distributed genetically and thus can be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.

Aristotle considered human nature, habit, and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.

Question:
Aristotle believed that virtuous citizens could be produced by cultivating:

Option 1: art and music
