The process of sorting through the various holidays on offer and determining which is the best for you is

products, (1) ________. Other consumers with no patience to explore a variety of choices (2) ________ for

Read the passage 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 6 to 13.

When several farmers merge plots into a single “project farm,” they use digital tools to make that
teamwork far more effective. GPS mapping, drones, and in-field sensors build a live, shared
picture of soil types, weather shifts, and plant growth. Because everyone works on the same data,
the team can set seeding dates, determine when to spray, and track machinery in real time. What
once depended on guesswork is now driven by verifiable information.
With GPS technology, farmers can accurately map out their fields down to centimeters. Seeding
machines change their rate on the fly, drones spray crops on targeted zones, and customized
planting plans only water where data shows a need. Because inputs go exactly where they
help, fields yield more while chemical runoff falls . Trials report consistent savings on seed,
fuel, and sprays — benefits the partners split at the season's end.
Water management is just as precise. Specialised equipment tracks moisture every hour and
forecast apps predict rain, wind, or heatwaves. Automated pumps deliver just the right amounts to
thirsty zones and stop when a storm is coming, slashing waste and energy bills. The result is
steadier yields across all fields, even in dry years, and a much lower water footprint for the
partnership. Smart irrigation also helps limit weed growth, reducing herbicide use.
The journey from field to market is equally digital. Cloud platforms record harvest weights, storage
temperatures, and shipment times the moment they change, while planting records freeze each
act so customers can rely on it. Analytics tools browse the records to locate weak points in the
procedures and even suggest better planting plans for the next season to project partners. This
makes project farms both profitable and sustainable.

Read the passage 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 26 to 35.
We seem to be entering a boom era for greenwashing – the tactic of covering routine pollution in
eco-friendly language. [I] Picture running a high-emitting corporation: meaningful decarbonisation
would demand painful negotiations, huge capital outlays, and a full redesign of the business

model. Hiring an expert agency to splash “carbon-neutral” or “net-zero” across products is far
easier, buying time while emissions remain untouched.
Consumers meet this sleight of hand everywhere. Airlines sell “carbon-neutral” flights, filling
stations boast about “net-zero” fuel, and breakfast bacon is re-labelled as planet-safe. Advertising
spin is old, yet today it is manipulated to conceal ongoing environmental damage. Social media
influencers and glossy sustainability reports amplify these claims, broadcasting the narrative far
beyond traditional marketing channels.
The term greenwashing emerged in the 1980s, an era of oil spills and growing climate science,
but the practice has exploded only recently. [II] Intensifying public anxiety over global heating
and ecosystem collapse has placed companies under sharp scrutiny; many boards therefore
choose eye-catching PR over the tougher route of restructuring supply chains, energy sources,
and product lines. Regulators on both sides of the Atlantic are struggling to police false ecoclaims, yet enforcement still lags behind corporate ingenuity. Investors, eager to protect short-term
returns, frequently applaud these surface-level initiatives, reinforcing the cycle. [III] No sector
illustrates the issue better than oil and gas. Having realised that denying climate science now
backfires, the industry has swapped denial for “green” paint. Press releases trumpet potential
renewable ventures while drilling plans expand unabated.
Why does this matter? Greenwashing and climate denial share a core objective: to postpone the
deep emission cuts claimed by scientists as urgent this decade. [IV] Whereas denial disputes the
crisis, greenwashing misleads the public into believing problems are solved, thereby eroding
consumer advocacy of genuine environmental actions and stalling regulatory reforms. In effect, it
acts as a soothing lullaby, guiding society ever closer to ecological breakdown while fostering a
false sense of progress. Exposing the facade – and insisting on verifiable, measurable
carbon reductions – is essential if rhetoric is to give way to real action.
(Adapted from https://www.greenpeace.org.uk)
Question 26. According to paragraph 1, having products claimed as eco-friendly rather than

Question 28. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?

C. The stories about greenwashing reach a much wider audience due to the joint effort of social
media and traditional marketing channels.
D. Commercials for everyday products and services, ranging from holiday bookings to petrol

are encouraged through public movements.
C. The real solution to the issue of carbon is to verify and measure carbon reductions rather than

Question 35. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Instead of investing in meaningful decarbonisation, major emitters have a tendency to opt for
denying the claim of “carbon-neutral” or “net-zero” on their product lines.
B. Once a prevalent strategy of corporations in response to public scrutiny, climate denial is
losing its effectiveness and has to be replaced by greenwashing.
C. High-emitting sectors follow the trend of greenwashing, boasting about promising renewable
ventures in press releases while quietly going on damaging the environment.
D. Greenwashing is surging as firms cover ongoing pollution in eco-friendly rhetoric, distracting
the public and postponing the deep emission cuts scientists deem urgent.
