Read the following passage and choose the option that best fits each of the following blanks.

PERSONAL FINANCE: THE 50/30/20 RULE

Managing personal finances can be overwhelming, but adopting the 50/30/20 rule offers a highly practical solution. This budgeting strategy suggests 21.1 your monthly after-tax income into three distinct categories: 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings. By strictly separating essential living expenses, such as rent and groceries, from optional entertainment, you can prevent yourself from falling into 21.2.

It is highly recommended that every young professional 21.3 this rule as early as possible. The earlier you start applying this framework, the easier it becomes to control your wealth. Finally, 21.4 who stick to this structured plan will not only build a solid emergency 21.5 but also secure their long-term financial independence.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Have you ever studied hard for a test, only to forget almost everything a week later? This is completely normal. More than a hundred years ago, a scientist named Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered that our memory follows a pattern. After learning something new, we forget most of it within a few days unless we do something to stop it. He called this the "forgetting curve." His research showed that without any review, most people lose around 70 percent of new information within just 24 hours.

[I] The good news is that scientists now understand how to fight this curve. The single most powerful method is simply to review information at the right moments rather than all at once. Instead of reading your notes ten times in one evening, it is far better to read them once today, again in two days, and once more next week. This technique is known as "spaced repetition," and it works because each review tells the brain that the information is important and worth keeping. [II] Over time, the gaps between reviews can grow longer, and the memory becomes more stable.

[III] A second method is even more surprising. Most students believe that re-reading a textbook is the best way to learn. In fact, research shows that testing yourself is much more effective. When you close the book and try to remember an answer from memory, your brain has to work harder. This extra effort builds a stronger memory. For example, after reading a paragraph, you could write down everything you remember before looking at your notes again. Teachers call this "active recall." [IV]

Of course, these methods take more energy than simply highlighting a page in bright colours. Highlighting feels productive, but it often creates a false sense of confidence. Students who only highlight may recognise the words on the page without truly understanding them. The truth is that real learning should feel a little difficult, because difficulty is a sign that the brain is growing. So the next time you study, put your notes away, test yourself honestly, and come back the next day.

It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that ______.

Ebbinghaus invented a way to stop people from forgetting
forgetting newly learned material is a natural process
memory loss only happens to students before tests
the forgetting curve was discovered very recently

Which sentence best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

"The single most powerful method is simply to review information at the right moments rather than all at once."

The best technique is to review everything during a single long session.
Spreading your reviews out over time is the most effective approach.
The most powerful way to learn is to read information as fast as possible.
Reviewing material only once is enough to remember it forever.

According to paragraph 3, why is testing yourself effective?

Because it is easier than re-reading a textbook.
Because most students already enjoy doing it.
Because the mental effort strengthens the memory.
Because teachers prefer this method to others.

According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT that ______.

Spaced repetition signals to the brain that information matters.
Highlighting can give students a false sense of confidence.
Active recall requires more effort than re-reading.
Most students believe that testing themselves is the best method.

Where should the following sentence be placed?

"This technique means hiding the answer and forcing yourself to produce it without help."

[I]
[II]
[III]
[IV]

What is the main idea of the passage?

How the human brain naturally loses up to 70 percent of new information.
The most effective strategies to combat the brain's natural tendency to forget.
