Evaluate the following item, which relates to the provided text and to new trends in English language teaching.
Dante, the Italian author, was sort of a linguistic Darwin.
He held a heretical theory. Europe’s languages, he thought, had
not been made in a single moment, in a biblical Babel, but had
evolved. With the care of a Victorian naturalist, he thus split
Europe’s languages into families by their words for "yes": those
who lived in southern France and said "oc" spoke a "Langue
d’oc".
He was spot-on. Four centuries later, a British judge and
polyglot called Sir William Jones arrived in Calcutta and was
struck by the similarities between Latin and Sanskrit words for
terms such as house (domus, dam) and god (deus, deva). Clearly
they had "sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no
longer exists". The world’s languages were not a Babel but a
brotherhood.
Proto, a new book by Laura Spinney, a journalist, offers a
biography of that brotherhood—or rather its parent. For Jones’s
"common source" now has a name: "Proto-Indo-European" (PIE).
It was first spoken by as little as a few dozen people around the
Black Sea then, roughly 5,000 years ago, spread with rapidity
"from Ireland to India". Today, its offshoots include Irish,
Hindi—and more or less everything in between. Almost half of
the world’s population speaks a descendant of it.
PIE is long dead, but traces of it remain caught, like
insects in amber, in modern languages, allowing academics to
bring it back to life. Scholars know, for example, its speakers
found visitors irritating: the PIE word "ghostis" gives English not
just "guest" but "ghost", and Latin its word for "host" but also
"enemy".
Internet: <https://www.economist.com>(Adapted)
Calling the world’s languages "a brotherhood" (second
paragraph) emphasizes the fact that they have similarities
and common traces, an idea that is reinforced by the use of
"its parent" in the third paragraph.

in English (fourth paragraph) demonstrates that Proto-Indo- European lives on in modern languages.

Evaluate the following item based on the preceding text.
It all started with some exasperated emails. Back in 2009,
a group of researchers began venting their frustration with the
programming languages designed to help scientists and other
researchers perform complex mathematical operations and
statistical simulations without learning how to code. These
programming languages were rigid and slow.
The emails turned into a research project at MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) with the mission of
building an easy-to-use, high-performance programming
language called Julia, which is designed for scientific research,
data analysis, and modeling complex systems such as jet engines,
drugs, financial markets, and robots, to name a few examples.
That research project turned into a lab at MIT, and the lab
turned into the company JuliaHub. Along the way, Julia gained a
loyal following among scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and
others. Today, the free and open-source language counts more
than 1 million users, including people working in thousands of
companies and universities around the world.
It is only a slight exaggeration to say Julia has been used
to model everything under the sun, from the behavior of tiny
atoms to semiconductors, neural networks, race cars, and
airplanes. It has also been used to study much beyond the sun,
with astronomers using Julia for imaging black holes.
Internet: <https://news.mit.edu> (Adapted).
The passage "It is only a slight exaggeration" (last
paragraph) is used to introduce an overstatement about the
programming language Julia, which is not actually capable
of modelling the behavior of tiny atoms.

Considering the preceding text and reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and prediction, evaluate the following item.
How can education stay ahead in a world being
transformed by climate change, AI, inequality, conflict and
shifting labor markets?
Societies are being reshaped by powerful forces, such as
demographic change, technological transformation, climate and
environmental pressures, threats to peace and democracy,
disinformation, rising inequalities and polarization, and major
labor market transformations. These forces are already changing
how people learn, work, live and participate in society.
As
the
world undergoes rapid and profound
transformation, education systems cannot afford to only respond
to crises after they happen. They need to look ahead, anticipate,
and strategize. Foresight helps us do exactly that: it brings
together evidence, diverse perspectives and structured reflection
to identify the trends, risks and opportunities that could define the
future of education.
It
will
strengthen international, inter-sectoral and
inter-generational dialogue, helping ensure that the emerging
post-2030 education agenda reflects both expert insights and the
diverse realities and aspirations of young people.
Internet: <https://www.unesco.org/sdg4education2030/en/articles/>(adapted).
It can be inferred from the ideas in the third paragraph of the
text that education systems should no longer respond to
crises once they have occurred.

Fluency in a foreign language is often thought to be about
speaking quickly and using advanced vocabulary. However,
researchers reveal that speakers who use common, everyday
expressions sound more fluent than those who rely on rare,
complex words. There is a study that highlights the importance of
mastering familiar phrases to improve fluency perception,
suggesting that learners should naturally incorporate common
formulaic expressions in spontaneous speech.
The findings revealed that utterance fluency (smoothness
of speech delivery) was the strongest predictor of fluency
perception, accounting for 61% of the variance in ratings.
However, high-frequency formulaic expressions added an extra
0.8% to fluency judgments, while rarer, more complex phrases
had little to no effect.
This research suggests that learners should shift their
focus from advanced vocabulary to mastering everyday phrases
that come naturally in conversation. For example, instead of
saying "I concur with the idea" — which sounds unnatural —
learners should use "I agree with the idea." These common
expressions are easy to find in textbooks and everyday
conversations, making them more accessible for learners of all
levels.
Internet: <https://sciencedaily.com>(adapted).
Based on the preceding text, evaluate the following item.
In the sentence "learners should use 'I agree with the idea. '"
(third paragraph), the preposition 'with' is grammatically
required by the verb 'agree' when introducing a prepositional
object representing an opinion, proposal, or idea.
