Read the passage 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 11 to 20.

    [I] Over the past decade, minimalism has evolved from a niche artistic philosophy into a cultural movement reshaping how people define happiness and success. [II] It promotes a lifestyle centered on simplicity, intentional consumption, and mindful living. [III] Rather than acquiring more possessions, minimalists advocate owning fewer but higher-quality items and prioritizing experiences over material goods. [IV] This shift reflects a growing dissatisfaction with modern consumerism, which often leaves individuals feeling overwhelmed despite their abundance.

    The appeal of minimalism lies not only in its simple and clean design but also in the peace of mind it offers. Research shows that messy and crowded spaces can make people feel stressed and tired, while simple and well-organised rooms help them stay calm and focused. Minimalism helps people think more clearly and live with less pressure. However, living this way is not always easy because people must decide what is truly important to them and avoid buying things they do not really need. More and more young professionals are choosing this lifestyle to find balance in their busy modern world.

    Critics, however, warn that minimalism can easily become a privilege rather than a principle. For people with limited means, “decluttering” or living with less is not a lifestyle choice but an economic necessity. Moreover, as minimalist aesthetics gain popularity, corporations have capitalised on the trend by selling expensive “simple” products - from plain white furniture to curated capsule wardrobes - under the banner of intentional living. This commercialisation risks turning a philosophy of restraint into yet another form of conspicuous consumption.

    Despite these contradictions, minimalism continues to resonate because it addresses deeper existential concerns of modern society: anxiety, burnout, and the search for purpose. It invites people to slow down, reflect, and detach from the illusion that material abundance guarantees fulfilment. Whether it remains a meaningful movement or merely a passing fashion will depend on how sincerely its followers practice what they preach - and whether simplicity can survive in a world built on endless growth.

    “Woman Adopts Alien Baby in Texas!” sounds shocking, doesn't it? Stories like this grab our attention immediately. While it might seem ridiculous, headlines like this are examples of fake news, and they are spreading faster than ever in today's digital world. Fake news is false or misleading information created to trick people, often for political, financial, or personal reasons. Unfortunately, many people believe and share fake news without checking if they are true.

    The rise of the internet and social media has made fake news more powerful. Unlike traditional newspapers, social media platforms allow anyone to post anything, whether it is true or not. Some fake news is entirely made up to entertain or mislead, while others take a real event and twist the details to create confusion. For instance, a photo might be edited or a video taken out of context to tell a false story. Fake news spreads quickly because it appeals to our emotions. Sensational headlines - known as "clickbait" - make us curious, angry, or excited, encouraging us to share the story without thinking. Some websites even make money from the number of clicks they receive, so their main goal is to create content that grabs attention, not to tell the truth.

    Fake news can cause serious harm. It has influenced elections by spreading lies about political candidates. It has also caused public health scares, such as false information about vaccines leading to fear and mistrust. In some cases, fake news has even caused people to act dangerously, such as believing false rumors that lead to violence or panic.

    Combating fake news is a difficult process, requiring the ability to critically evaluate information. Always check the source of the information. Ask yourself: Is the author trustworthy? Is the story reported by other reliable websites? Use fact-checking websites to confirm whether a story is true. By being careful, we can help stop the spread of fake news and make the internet a better place for everyone.
