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 from 24 to 30.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have
neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now
number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost
entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal
gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such
as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International
laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an
effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge
admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world
organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals.
Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from
endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

A. Endangered species

Question 26: The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. incompetence
B. indirectness C. insensitivity
D. independence
Question 27: The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast_______ .
A. A comparison and a contrast
B. A problem and a solution
C. A statement and an illustration
D. Specific and general information
Question 28: What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?
A. Bengal tiger
B. Interest in material gain
C. Killing animals for personal satisfaction D. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population
Question 29: Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?
