Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 22 to 26.

Urbanization has rapidly transformed cities into economic and cultural hubs, attracting millions of people seeking better job opportunities and education. However, life in large metropolises is not without drawbacks. One of the greatest challenges urban residents encounter daily is traffic congestion. Despite extensive underground railways and elevated transit systems, the volume of private vehicles continues to clog major thoroughfares during peak hours.

Another critical issue is environmental pollution. Urban centres generate huge amounts of waste, and emissions from factories and cars severely degrade air quality. Long-term exposure to polluted air causes respiratory illnesses, especially among children and the elderly. Furthermore, the relentless pace of life and soaring living costs frequently lead to psychological distress. Many people find it difficult to maintain close social connections with their neighbours because everyone is constantly preoccupied with work.

Nevertheless, cities offer unmatched advantages. They house the country's most advanced hospitals, reputable universities, and abundant recreational centres. For young professionals, urban living offers unparalleled exposure to multicultural experiences and professional development. Ultimately, whether city life is beneficial depends on how individuals balance career ambitions with self-care and community engagement.

Good mental health is just as important as good physical health for adolescents. During the teenage years, young people undergo dramatic hormonal and psychological shifts, which can make them particularly susceptible to stress. Academic demands, peer comparisons, and excessive use of social networking platforms are primary factors triggering anxiety among modern teens.

When teens suffer from prolonged stress, their academic performance frequently deteriorates. They may experience difficulty sleeping, constant mood swings, or loss of appetite. Regrettably, many teenagers conceal their emotional struggles because they fear being judged or misunderstood by peers and teachers.

To foster mental well-being, schools and parents must create safe environments where adolescents feel comfortable opening up about their concerns. Establishing a balanced daily routine that incorporates eight hours of sleep, wholesome meals, and outdoor hobbies is essential. When feeling overloaded, teenagers should know when and where to seek professional guidance from school counsellors or mental healthcare experts. Taking care of mental wellness from an early age equips teenagers with resilience to overcome future hardships.

Time management is one of the most vital life skills that every teenager needs to acquire. With countless commitments including academic studies, extracurricular clubs, household chores, and social relationships, students who lack organizational skills easily become stressed and exhausted.

Effective time management begins with clear prioritization. The renowned "Eisenhower Matrix" method suggests categorizing tasks into four groups: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither. By focusing primarily on tasks that are important before they turn urgent, students can avoid last-minute cramming and panic. For instance, revising notes weekly instead of waiting until the night before the examination brings far better retention and lower anxiety.

Furthermore, setting boundaries with technology is indispensable. Social media notifications, endless video feeds, and text messages are notorious time thieves. Allocating dedicated study blocks without digital distractions—such as employing the Pomodoro technique of twenty-five minutes of deep focus followed by a five-minute break—substantially boosts productivity. Ultimately, mastering one's timetable allows teens not only to excel academically but also to preserve sufficient time for relaxation and hobbies.

Nutrition plays a decisive role in physical growth and mental sharp-wittedness during adolescence. Teenagers require substantial calories and essential nutrients to support rapid bodily changes. However, contemporary teenage eating habits frequently deviate from dietary recommendations. The widespread availability of fast food, sugary sodas, and processed snacks has fostered unhealthy eating routines among high schoolers.

Consuming an excessive amount of saturated fats and refined sugar not only triggers weight gain and acne but also adversely impacts cognitive functions. Research indicates that students who regularly skip breakfast or rely on sugary drinks suffer from concentration lapses and fatigue in morning classes. Conversely, maintaining a well-balanced diet rich in whole grains, green leafy vegetables, lean protein, and fresh fruits provides steady energy and bolsters immune defenses.

In addition to healthy food intake, adequate hydration is essential. Drinking at least 1.5 to 2 litres of fresh water daily aids digestion, prevents headaches, and enhances mental clarity. School cafeterias should cooperate with parents to provide nutritious meals and restrict the sale of junk food on campus. Instilling wholesome eating habits early empowers teenagers to lay a sturdy foundation for lifelong vitality.

Volunteering in community services has become an increasingly popular trend among secondary school students. Engaging in local activities—such as tutoring underprivileged children, clearing rubbish in public parks, or delivering food parcels to lonely senior citizens—yields substantial mutual benefits for both the community and the volunteers themselves.

First and foremost, volunteering fosters a strong sense of empathy and civic responsibility. By witnessing the day-to-day challenges faced by disadvantaged groups, teenagers learn to appreciate their own circumstances and develop genuine compassion. Furthermore, voluntary work serves as an ideal environment for teens to sharpen critical soft skills. They learn how to communicate persuasively, collaborate harmoniously within diverse teams, and solve unforeseen problems effectively.

Last but not least, contributing to the community significantly enhances adolescents' psychological well-being. Knowing that their actions make a tangible difference in someone else's life boosts self-esteem and creates a profound sense of purpose. Teenagers who actively participate in community services are generally happier and less prone to depression. Clearly, community involvement is not merely a charitable deed; it is a meaningful journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
