Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
For most of the twentieth century, traditional media - newspapers, television, and radio - served as the primary sources of news and entertainment for people around the world. These outlets were controlled by professional organisations that employed trained journalists to verify information before publishing it, which gave audiences a reasonable degree of confidence in the accuracy of what they read or watched. Content was produced on a fixed schedule, and audiences had little opportunity to interact with or respond to what they consumed.
The rise of social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and X has fundamentally changed the way information travels. Unlike traditional outlets, social media allows any individual with an internet connection to create and share content instantly, without editorial oversight. This openness has democratised information, giving ordinary people a voice and enabling news to spread far more rapidly than a printed newspaper ever could. During major events such as natural disasters or political protests, eyewitness accounts posted online often reach the public hours before traditional broadcasters are able to respond.
However, the same features that make social media so immediate also make it easier for false information to circulate widely. Without the filters that professional newsrooms apply, misleading stories can go viral before they are fact-checked or corrected. Studies have found that false news spreads significantly faster on social media than accurate reporting, largely because emotionally charged content tends to attract more engagement. On platforms where attention is the main currency, accuracy does not always win the race against speed.
Rather than replacing one another, traditional and social media now function side by side, each filling gaps the other leaves open. The most informed audiences are typically those who draw on both - using social media for immediacy and traditional outlets for depth and verification.
What does the word "verify" in paragraph 1 mostly mean?
publish
collect
check
remove
According to paragraph 1, what was a key feature of traditional media?
It allowed audiences to interact with journalists.
It published content on a fixed schedule.
It relied on ordinary people to report news.
It updated content instantly throughout the day.
What advantage of social media is mentioned in paragraph 2?
Its content is always checked by professionals.
It produces news on a regular schedule.
It is more trusted than traditional media.
It allows news to reach people very quickly.
Which word is OPPOSITE in meaning to "circulate" in paragraph 3?
spread
travel
contain
share
According to paragraph 3, why does false news spread quickly on social media?
Emotionally charged content gets more attention.
Traditional media avoids emotional stories.
Users prefer reading long articles.
Fact-checkers work more slowly than journalists.
Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
Because making money is the main goal of social media, platforms prefer to spread news as fast as possible regardless of its truthfulness.
On social media sites that value user engagement most, sharing information quickly is often prioritized over ensuring it is factually correct.
To attract more attention on social media platforms, users must focus on the accuracy of the information rather than how fast it travels.
Social media platforms have completely stopped checking facts because their only purpose is to deliver news at the highest speed.
What is the main purpose of the passage?
To argue social media is more harmful than traditional media
To compare both media types and discuss their strengths and weaknesses
To explain why newspapers are becoming less popular
To encourage people to use social media more responsibly

Mark: Hey Anna, I'm trying to write a curriculum vitae for a marketing internship, but I'm really stuck.
Anna: What seems to be the problem? You have excellent grades at university.
Mark: Well, the template asks for work experience, and I have none. I feel like my CV will look completely empty.
Anna: Don't worry, that's very common for students. Employers know interns are just starting out and want to learn.
Mark: That makes sense. But how can I show that I have good communication or teamwork skills if I haven't actually worked in a real company?
Anna: For example, that digital media project you led last semester shows great leadership and organization.
Mark: Oh, right! I didn't think of that. I will add those activities to my profile. Is there anything else I should keep in mind before sending it?
Anna: Yes, don't just send the exact same document to every company. You need to read the job description carefully and show them why you are the right fit for their particular team.
Mark: Thanks, Anna. That is really helpful advice!
