Read the following passage about online learning and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 18 to 27.
[I] Higher education is undergoing rapid transformation with the rise of online learning, promising high-quality, low-cost education accessible to all. [II] However, studies reveal significant challenges in online courses, including a lack of meaningful interaction between students and teachers. [III] Many students report that they prefer traditional classrooms when struggling with complex subjects, as face-to-face contact with instructors fosters better understanding and engagement. [IV]

Additionally, many students enter college lacking essential academic skills like time management, note-taking, and asking for help. Online courses often require students to be independent learners, which exacerbates the challenges for underprepared students. This mismatch results in higher failure and withdrawal rates in online classes compared to traditional ones. Vulnerable groups, such as minorities and first-generation college students, face steeper declines in performance, further widening existing achievement gaps in education.

For online learning to fulfil its potential, it must address these shortcomings by offering more robust support systems. Universities need to focus on preparing students with the skills required for online courses and providing faculty training to ensure meaningful student-teacher interactions in virtual spaces. Moreover, colleges should carefully consider which courses are suitable for online formats and prioritise enhancing student preparation over expanding online offerings indiscriminately.

While online learning offers opportunities to reduce costs and improve access, its ability to deliver high-quality education for all students remains uncertain. Significant investments in student preparation, faculty training, and course design are necessary to ensure online learning bridges educational gaps rather than widening them.

Read the following passage about a tale of two guys and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 40.
When Guy Goma went for a job interview at the BBC, he was very astonished by the interviewer’s questions. He’d applied for a job in the computing department. Why did the woman want him to answer questions about a legal case involving a famous music company? He was even more shocked when he found that he was answering these questions live on television.

Mr Goma had been waiting in a reception room at Television Centre when an assistant came up and asked him if he was Guy. When he said ‘yes’, she told him to follow her to a TV studio. The next thing he knew, he was on national television. At the same time, Guy Kewney, the editor of Newswireless.net, sat in another reception room wondering why he was waiting so long.

Mr Goma did his best to answer ‘very stressful’ questions from the BBC business journalist, Karen Bowerman. When Karen asked him to talk about the result of the court case, he said that it was ‘a big surprise’. He then went on to say that more and more people were downloading music from the Internet because it was very easy. At that point Karen Bowerman appeared to realise something was wrong and very professionally ended the interview after only three questions. The video of Mr Goma was quickly uploaded onto YouTube, where it immediately went viral.

Twenty minutes after his TV appearance, Mr Goma finally got to his real interview. Unfortunately, he did not get the job.
