Directions: Read the given passage and answer the following question.

Chameleons can make their skin colour change, but not because they decide to. The colour changes to help the chameleon avoid its enemies. It is a form of camouflage, a disguise that lets it blend in with its surroundings. The change is actually determined by environmental factors, such as light and temperature. Bright sunlight causes the skin to darken.

On cool nights, the colour fades to a creamy colour. The colour also changes when chameleons are excited, angry or afraid. The colour change is rapid and increases when the chameleon is handled, injured or approached by another chameleon. There are many types of chameleons. Almost half of them are found on the African island of Madagascar. The others mostly occur in the Sahara Desert, with a few in Western Asia and Southern Europe. Chameleons live on trees, where they usually eat insects. Very large chameleons may even use their sticky tongues to catch birds.

Directions: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer out of the four alternatives.

When he heard that a Dutch inventor had invented something called a spyglass, but was keeping it a secret, Galileo Galilei decided to work on one of his own. Within 24 hours, he had invented a telescope that could magnify things to make them appear ten times larger than in real life. One night, he pointed his telescope towards the sky, and made his first of many space observations: the moon was not smooth, like everyone thought. The moon was covered with bumps and craters. As technology has improved, many others have made improvements on the telescope, the wonderful device that allows us to see from a distance.

Dance involves our sense of rhythm. We have an innate sense of rhythm in us. From the time we are in our mother’s womb, the rhythmic rocking we feel as she walks awakens our instinct of movement. As babies, we are rocked to sleep. As children, we sing nursery rhymes and clap or dance along to them. We have already begun dancing. In many countries, dance is indulged in to cultivate discipline and appreciation for one’s native culture. For instance, in Africa, many tribes initiate their children into adulthood through dance. When we have mastered walking, we learn the rudimentary steps of dance. From there, we are able to choreograph other steps suited to the message we wish to convey. Ironically, we are able to be spontaneous in the midst of discipline.
