Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

 
Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In
English, at least three have been identified and described.
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a
majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these
words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other
hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in
informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic
expressions are colloquial language. Slang, refers to words and expressions understood by a large
number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority. Colloquial
expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial
usage and slang are more common in speech than writing.
Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard
speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases,
the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective
memories. Every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and
events.
It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the
creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and
situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third,
association among the subgroups and the majority population.
Finally, it is worth noting that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as abstract labels
for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that
they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate
situations, select and use three types of expressions.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. An aesthetic
justification contends that biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered
plants and animals are particularly appreciated for their unique physical beauty. The aesthetic role of
nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of every culture, attaining symbolic
status in the spiritual life of many groups. According to the proponents of the aesthetic argument, people
need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.
Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and
pharmacological fields, is that of ecological self–interest. By preserving all species, we retain a balance of
nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind. Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited
as evidence that every species contributes important or even essential functions that may be necessary
to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument contend that important
chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases
currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of
a moral justification contend that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United
Nations World Charter for Nature, created in 1982. Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the
stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings to protect them, and to
ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement
called “deep ecology", the members of which rank the biosphere higher than people because the
continuation of life depends on this larger perspective. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion,
all choices must be made for the biosphere, not for people.
