Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions below.
One of the most significant festivals in the Korean calendar is Chuseok. It takes place in the 8th lunar month on the night of the full moon. Chuseok is a time when people express gratitude and respect to their ancestors. It's also an occasion to celebrate nature and a bumper crop it has bestowed upon them.
Many Koreans now live and work in major cities like Seoul. People who have relocated come back to their rural hometowns to celebrate together. Before and after Chuseok, the government gives everyone a day off from work. Many people spend those days travelling, so the roads are congested during this period. A two-hour journey can easily turn into six hours!
On the day before Chuseok, people clean their houses and prepare food for ceremonies and family dinners. Using fresh rice from the latest harvest, ladies make songpyeon - half-moon shaped rice cakes with sweet fillings. On the day of Chuseok, people try to dress nicely and wear traditional costumes like the hanbok. In the morning, families put food offerings on a special table dedicated to their ancestors, and then visit their graves. Later on, they play traditional games like yut nori (a game of throwing sticks) and hwa-tu (a card game). At night, the whole family are outside under the full moon, eating and drinking until late. On the third day, people usually travel back home and get ready to start work or school again.
Chuseok, like Thanksgiving and Lunar New Year, is a time for families to reconnect with past traditions and spend time together.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
In recent times, there has been a noticeable change in the types of pollution found in Sydney Harbour, particularly concerning straws. According to data collected, there has been a significant decrease in the presence of plastic straws, which can be attributed to the ban on single-use plastics implemented by the New South Wales government in 2022. However, there has been a corresponding increase in the use of paper straws, indicating a shift rather than a complete elimination of straw-related pollution.
Environment Minister James Griffin initiated a ban to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainability. Although it has resulted in less plastic straw usage, the increase in paper straw consumption poses new challenges for nature repair and conservation efforts in the area.
Paper straws, though more biodegradable than their plastic counterparts, still contribute to pollution if not
disposed of properly. This shift in materials may influence public perception, with some individuals believing they are making environmentally friendly choices. However, conservation efforts must now focus on educating the public about proper disposal methods for all types of straws.
Additionally, the increase in paper straw pollution may require changes in clean-up strategies and a re-evaluation of what constitutes a truly sustainable alternative. Furthermore, there are concerns regarding the impact of both plastic and paper straws on marine life and the potential consequences for tourism revenue due to a decline in Sydney Harbour's aesthetic appeal.
This shift in pollution trends highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to environmental protection. This approach should focus on reducing plastic use, as well as responsibly using and disposing of other materials. Policymakers might have to review regulations and waste management policies to tackle these new challenges efficiently.
(Adapted from https://seabin.io/significant-decline-in-plastic-straws-in-sydney-harbour/)
What is the attitude of the author towards the ban on single-use plastics and its impact?
Neutral.
Indifferent.

Critical.
What can be inferred from the passage?
Conservation efforts should solely focus on reducing plastic straw usage.
The shift in materials may necessitate a focus on educating the public about proper disposal methods.
The shift in materials has no impact on public perception or conservation efforts.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
The ban on single-use plastics has led to an increase in paper straw consumption.
In 2022, the New South Wales government enforced a ban on single-use plastics.
The consumption of plastic and paper straws could potentially affect tourism revenue negatively.
Paper straws are perfect alternatives to plastic straws because they are eco-friendly.
