Read the following passage about AI translation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the option that best fits each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
The use of AI-powered translation in commercial fiction has sparked significant debate. Many argue that machine translation fails to capture the nuances, cultural subtleties, and poetic elements that human translators meticulously craft. For example, Kelvin, a celebrated translator, emphasizes the role of translators in conveying cultural elements and creating a seamless reading experience, which AI struggles to replicate.
Despite these concerns, some believe that AI has potential benefits, particularly for works in minority languages. AI-assisted translation could potentially amplify the visibility of these works, reaching audiences that otherwise might never encounter them. Moreover, in industries like video games, AI translation could help smaller developers localize their content more affordably, making their games accessible to global audiences.
In some cases, AI translation does provide useful examples of what it can and cannot do. For example, simple phrases in video games, such as ‘press left and right’ or ‘jump’, can be effectively machine-translated. However, when a game involves complex dialogue, AI’s translations often fall short. Dr. John Ratcliffe, CEO of Noun Town, shared that their AI translation tests produced inferior results when translating into languages other than English, especially those less widely spoken. This illustrates the challenges AI faces in capturing the full meaning behind more complex, culturally specific content.
The key distinction in the debate lies between using AI for basic translation and relying on it for artistic works. Although AI can serve as a tool to understand meaning, human translators go beyond mere word substitution.

Read the following passage about bullying and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the option that best fits each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Bullying in schools is a pervasive problem that affects students’ mental and emotional well-being. [II] Defined as repetitive, aggressive behavior intended to harm or dominate, bullying takes various forms, including verbal abuse, physical intimidation, social exclusion, and cyberbullying. [III] Research indicates that victims of bullying often experience anxiety, depression, and academic challenges. This rising issue has sparked concern among educators, parents, and policymakers alike. [IV]
The consequences of bullying extend beyond individual victims, impacting the school atmosphere as a whole. Classrooms where bullying runs rampant can become tense, which diminishes the learning experience for all students. Moreover, bystanders - students who witness bullying may feel powerless or fear, leading to heightened levels of stress and anxiety. Schools with high rates of bullying report lower overall academic performance, as the focus shifts from learning to coping with a hostile environment.
To address this issue, many schools are implementing anti-bullying programs, emphasizing empathy, inclusivity, and social skills. These initiatives involve workshops, peer support groups, and teacher training to ensure early detection and intervention. Additionally, some schools are incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) into their curricula to foster a respectful and supportive community. However, the success of anti-bullying efforts depends largely on consistent enforcement and the active involvement of both teachers and parents. Only through a comprehensive, collaborative approach can schools create a safer environment that supports all students’ growth and development.
In recent years, public awareness of the effects of bullying has increased, with many advocating for stricter policies and better resources for affected students. Despite progress, challenges remain, as bullying often occurs in subtle or covert forms, making it difficult to detect and tackle effectively.
