    READING COMPREHENSION Read the passage carefully and select the one correct answer from the four choises given !Reading 1 for question 41 - 46                Many historical linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to earlier languages, but in order to answer the question of how omplex langueges are actually formed, the researcher needs to observe how langueges are started from scratch. To find out how grammer is created, someone needs to be present at time of a language`s creation, documenting its emergence. However , this is possible.                Some of the most recent langueges evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. At the time, slaves from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under colonizer`s rule. Since they had no opportunity to learn each other`s langueges , they developed a make – shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowner . They have little in the way of grammer, and in many cases it is difficult for a listener to deduce when an event happened. And who did what to whom. Speeakers need to use circumlocution in order to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be ecposed to it when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children did not simply copy the strings of words uttered by their elders, they adapted their word to create a new , expressive language . Complex grammar systems which emerge from pidgins are termed creoles, and they are invented by children.                Some ilnguists believe that many most established languages were creoles at first. The English past tense – ed ending may have evolved from the ver ‘do’ it ended mayonce have been ‘it’ end did, thus , it would appear that even the most widespread languages were partly created by children. Children appear to have innate grammatical mecahanism in thei brains, which emerges when they are first trying to make sense of the owrd near them. Their – minds can serve to create logical , complex structures , even when there iis no grammer present for the to copy.(Adapted from variouse sources – PTT BPPK ) The word deduce in line 9 is closes in meaning to …

    • A.

      Think

    • B.

      React

    • C.

      Conclude

    • D.

      Reply

    Correct Answer
    C. Conclude
    Explanation
    The word "deduce" in line 9 is closest in meaning to "conclude". This can be inferred from the sentence "They have little in the way of grammar, and in many cases it is difficult for a listener to deduce when an event happened and who did what to whom." The sentence suggests that the listener needs to make a conclusion or inference about the event and the actions involved.

    In order to study the grammar creation of a language, the linguists have to …

    • A.

      Interview the language maker

    • B.

      Document the complex from the language

    • C.

      Record the creation of the language.

    • D.

      Study the language from the native speaker

    Correct Answer
    C. Record the creation of the language.
    Explanation
    To study the grammar creation of a language, linguists need to record the creation of the language. This involves documenting the process by which the language is developed, including the formation of its grammar. By recording the creation of the language, linguists can analyze the various linguistic features and structures that emerge during its development, providing valuable insights into the grammar of the language.

    How do the slave children improve a pidgin in order to become a complex language?

    • A.

      They imitate the pidgin then develop a completely new language

    • B.

      They adapt the word to create an expressive and new language.

    • C.

      They study the existing grammar of the pidgin then correct it

    • D.

      Theey communicate with their parents intensively to improve the pidgin

    Correct Answer
    B. They adapt the word to create an expressive and new language.
    Explanation
    The slave children improve a pidgin by adapting the words to create a new and expressive language. Instead of simply imitating the pidgin, they modify and enhance it to make it more complex and sophisticated. This process involves adding new vocabulary, developing grammar rules, and expanding the range of expressions. By adapting the words, the slave children are able to transform the pidgin into a fully developed language that better serves their communication needs.

    Correct Answer
    C. Explanation of complex language formation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Explanation of complex language formation." This is because paragraph 2 in the passage is likely to provide information about how complex languages are formed. The other options mentioned in the question, such as the use of simple language by Atlantic slaves and the history of slave children learning language, may be discussed in other paragraphs of the passage. The differences between pidgin and creole may also be mentioned, but it is less likely to be the main focus of paragraph 2.

      A language to communicate among slaves of different ethnicities

    Correct Answer
    C. A complex grammer system that come from pidgins
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A complex grammar system that comes from pidgins." The passage suggests that creole is a language that evolved from pidgins, which are simplified forms of communication that arise when people with different languages need to communicate. Creole languages develop more complex grammar systems over time, incorporating elements from the languages of the speakers.

    Reading 2 for question 47 – 53.                Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is caused by bacteria , viruses , fungi or parasiites. It is characterized primarily by information of the alveoli in the lungs or by aveoli that are filed with fluid (alveoli are microscopic sacs in the lungs that absorb oxygen ) at times a very serious condition, pneumonia can make a person very sick or even cause death. Although the disease can occur in young and healthy people , it is most dangerous for older adults, babies, and people with other diseases or impaired immune systems.                In the United State, more than 3 million people develop pneumonia each year and about 17% of these receive treatment in a hospital. Most people with pneumonia recover but about 5% will succumb to the condition.                Pneumonia treatments depend on the type of pneumonia and the severity of symptoms . Bacterial pneumonia are usually treated with antibodies, where as viral pneumonias are treated with rest and pienty of fuida. Fungal pneumonia are usually treated with antifungal medication. Over – the counter medications are also commonly prescribed to belter manage pneumonia symptoms. These  include treatment for reducing fever , reducing aches and pains. And suppressing coughs, in addiction. It is important to get plenty of rest and sleep and drink lots of fluids.                There are several ways to prevent pneumonia. There are two vacinnes that are available to prevent penumocccal disease ( the bacteria infection that is the most common cause of pneumonia ) : pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (prevnar ) and penumoccal polysaccharide vaccine ( Preumovax ) . Prevnar is generally administered as part of the normal infant immunization procedure and is recommended for children less than 2 year of age or between two and four years with certain medical condition. Pneumovax is provided for adults who are at increased risk of developing pneumococcal  Pneumonia , such as the elderly, diabetics, those with chronic heart, lung , or kidney disease, alcoholics, smokers, and those without a spleen. The pneumonia vaccine may not completely prevent , older adults from getting pneumonia , but it can reduce the severity of a future pneumonia.( Adapted from various sources – PTT BPPK ) What is NOT mentioned in the passage as the people who are at increased risk o developing pneumonia ?
