Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression were a leading cause of
global health problems even before the spread of COVID-19; However, they’ve gotten
worse. Since the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and depression rates
worldwide have increased by an overwhelming 25%. In the U.S, 4 in 10 adults have
reported symptoms of anxiety or depression during the pandemic, compared with 1 in
10 from January to June 2019.
Among the most affected are young adults and women. The surge in people
struggling with mental illnesses has coincided with gaps in mental care services as
well.
Research suggests that the pandemic has exacerbated the impacts of loneliness.
Additionally, people’s fear of missing out, also known as FOMO, hasn’t decreased
even since in-person social gatherings became less frequent. But small daily actions -
5
such as a short walk, break from social media or even a catnap - can add up to have an
impact on mental health. Separately, counselling, therapy and medication prescribed
by health care providers are effective treatments for those experiencing mental illness.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American
South. This region had long specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in
Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton created the most well-known drink brand in
6
the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear that he had no idea how big it would
become.
Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the
drinking of alcohol and wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the
French Wine of Coca", made from the coca leaf. Then, he began to experiment with
the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought
was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would look well in
advertising," he named it Coca-Cola.
Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being
advertised all over the country as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink
enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular temperance movement
in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose
significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was repeated.
Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he
invented it, Pemberton had sold Coca-Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26!
Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the Coca-Cola Company in
1919, it was worth $25 million.
