Read the following passage about A New Generational Approach to Self-Definition 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.

Identity fluidity refers to the idea that personal identity can change over time. Today's youth reject rigid categories that previous generations accepted without question or much thought. They view identity as a journey rather than a destination, exploring different aspects of themselves throughout life. This applies to gender, sexuality, careers, and cultural affiliations. Young people describe this flexibility as liberating, giving them freedom to evolve with new experiences and personal growth.

Social media has played a key role in this shift, providing platforms for identity experimentation and self-discovery. Online communities connect people with similar experiences, validating unusual feelings and alternative perspectives. These spaces allow youth to try different personas before adopting them in real life with greater confidence. Critics say constant reinvention causes confusion and lack of stability. However, supporters believe identity exploration is natural human development that past generations couldn't express openly due to societal constraints.

Schools have been slow to adapt to fluid identities and changing student needs. Traditional education uses fixed categories that restrict students from expressing their authentic selves. Progressive educators now incorporate flexible frameworks acknowledging identity complexity in meaningful ways. They create judgment-free environments where students express themselves authentically throughout their educational journey. This requires teachers to reconsider assumptions about learning and student development. Effective education now helps young people develop critical thinking for their identity journeys and future challenges.

Workplaces are changing due to identity fluidity and evolving social expectations. Companies once expected employees to fit corporate cultures but now value diverse perspectives and unique contributions. Many businesses have revised policies for flexible identities across all organizational levels. This brings in wider viewpoints and talents previously overlooked by traditional hiring practices. Young workers seek employers respecting their whole selves, including aspects previously considered irrelevant to work performance.

Question 23. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an area where identity fluidity applies?

Question 24. The word “themselves” in paragraph 1 refers to _____.

Question 25. The word “validating” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _____.

Question 26. The word “authentic” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _____.

Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

Question 28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Question 29. In which paragraph does the writer mention how social media facilitates identity exploration?

Question 30. In which paragraph does the writer mention how educational systems respond to identity fluidity?

Read the following passage about the Teaching Musical Expression Through Programming 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.

Creative coding represents an innovative approach to music education that combines technology with artistic expression. By teaching students to write code that generates sounds and music, educators have struck gold and opened new pathways for creativity. This bridges the gap between STEM subjects and arts education, making both more accessible. Students learn fundamental programming concepts while developing musical understanding. The process begins with simple exercises like creating basic tones through code. As students gain confidence, they progress to more complex projects such as interactive sound installations. This approach engages students who might not otherwise show interest in traditional music education.

The benefits extend beyond musical skills development. [I] When faced with coding challenges, they must break down complex problems into manageable parts. [II] Additionally, creative coding helps students think outside the box when approaching musical composition. Rather than following conventional rules, they experiment with algorithmic patterns and randomization techniques. [III] As one student remarked, "Coding music helped me kill two birds with one stone – I improved my programming skills while discovering new ways to express myself." [IV]

Educational institutions worldwide are increasingly incorporating creative coding into their curricula. Schools in Finland, South Korea, and Australia have developed programs that integrate coding and music. These initiatives often utilize accessible platforms such as Sonic Pi, EarSketch, or TidalCycles. Teachers report that these tools lower the barrier to entry for both subjects. Students who previously struggled with traditional music theory find the visual nature of coding more approachable. Conversely, students intimidated by programming discover that creating music provides an engaging context for learning code.

The future looks promising as technology continues to evolve. New interfaces are making it easier for beginners to create sophisticated musical projects through code. Virtual reality applications now allow students to visualize sound waves and interact with their code. Additionally, machine learning algorithms are being incorporated into educational platforms, enabling students to train computers to recognize patterns in music. These advancements suggest that creative coding will play an increasingly important role in music education while preserving the joy of musical creation.

Question 31. The phrase “struck gold” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by _____.

Question 32. Students often show improved problem-solving abilities and computational thinking.

Question 33. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
