Read the following passage about science and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 23 to 30.
A scientist spills bacteria samples all over his petri dishes before vacation. Frustrated, he leaves the mess behind. Returning weeks later, Alexander Fleming finds something extraordinary - a mold that kills bacteria. From this careless moment in 1928 emerged penicillin, revolutionizing medicine forever.
Serendipity has shaped human progress in remarkable ways. Take the story of Percy Spencer, who noticed a chocolate bar melting in his pocket while working with radar equipment. His curiosity drove him to experiment with popcorn kernels, leading to observations that microwaves could heat food rapidly and evenly. Standing near that radar transformed an everyday annoyance into a kitchen revolution.
The connection between accidents and breakthroughs runs deep in the inventor's worlD. Ruth Wakefield ran out of baker's chocolate one evening at her inn. Chopping up a chocolate bar to substitute in her cookies, she expected it to melt completely. Instead, her improvisation created the first chocolate chip cookie - a mistake that brought joy to millions. Food manufacturers soon sought her recipe and quickly adopted it, transforming home kitchen experiments into a commercial success that redefined American baking.
Beyond the kitchen, playground accidents sparked unexpected innovations. In 1943, naval engineer Richard James knocked over a tension spring, watching in fascination as it "walked" down a shelf. His wife Betty saw beyond the falling spring, envisioning a children's toy. Through careful refinement of this stumbling spring, they created the Slinky, bringing physics into playtime. The toy's popularity inspired other inventors to look at everyday objects through children's eyes, sparking new approaches to educational entertainment.
These unplanned moments remind us that innovation isn't always about methodical planning. Sometimes, the most significant breakthroughs come from embracing accidents, maintaining curiosity, and seeing potential where others see mistakes. Often, it's the imperceptible changes that lead to monumental shifts in our understanding and creativity. Modern inventors continue drawing inspiration from these historical accidents. recognizing that today's mishap might be tomorrow's breakthrough.

Read the following passage about the article "Can your child be a genius?" 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 31 to 40.
The 21st-century discoveries about the human brain and its functioning have brought to light the astounding fact that human abilities are not fixed at birth. In other words, what you are able to do with your life is not fixed when you are born. It is not all in the genes. It is not just nature: nurture plays a significant part in the molding of what a person is, and what he/she can be.
Brain plasticity or neuroplasticity refers to the amazing ability of the human brain to modify its structure and functions according to the changes within the body and in the external environment. ('Plasticity' comes from the Greek word 'plastos' meaning molded).
In his book 'The Brain that Changes Itself psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., offers an introduction to the brilliant scientists advocating neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they've transformed. The book describes real life stories of stroke patients learning to speak again and the amazing story of a woman born with half a brain that restructured itself to work as a whole. It is a book that changes the way we think about our brain, its nature, and its potential.
[I]. The genes we inherit from our parents are finite, no doubt about that. However, our brain's ability to develop is infinite. New brain cells are being born all the time, and to keep them alive and growing, we have to stimulate them. [II]. Herein lies the promise of neuroplasticity in the moulding of children into adults who are capable of realizing their potential. [III]. What Mozart, Einstein and da Vinci had was innate potential plus the right environment. [IV].
All geniuses started life in exactly the same way. They had parents who supported the development of their individual gifts and talents. They had the right environment and stimuli that led to the optimal development of themselves.

Lack of stimulation from the external environment can result in the death of newly generated brain cells.
We have to invest a significant amount of our time and effort into enhancing the development of brain cells.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
The genetic traits we inherit from our parents are limited, but our brain's capacity for development is boundless.
Only nature influences a person's development, nurture has no impact.
Under no circumstances can neuroplasticity alter the structural and functional capacities of the human brain.
All talented people in the world do not need the environment or support to achieve their success.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
Both natural talent and a supportive nurturing environment enable people to realize their abilities.
Children with unsupportive parents can still achieve optimal development.
Children with poor genetic inheritance can never be successful despite any support.
