Read the following passage about the mass media and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Mass media, including television, radio, newspapers, and the internet, have become central to everyday
life. They shape how we communicate, learn, and even think. With the rise of the internet, traditional forms
4
of mass media are evolving. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow
people to share information instantly with a global audience. Meanwhile, television networks and
newspapers continue to provide news and entertainment, but their role has been somewhat challenged by
digital platforms.
The internet, in particular, has revolutionized the way we receive information. It has enabled anyone
with access to a device and internet connection to publish and share their views, bypassing traditional
gatekeepers like editors or network executives. However, this freedom has raised concerns about the
spread of misinformation. News websites and social media platforms often struggle to verify facts, and
false stories can spread rapidly.
The changing landscape of mass media is also evident in the rise of streaming services like Netflix and
YouTube, which allow viewers to access content on-demand. These platforms have disrupted traditional
television networks by offering viewers a wider range of content that is available at their convenience. As a
result, people are watching less traditional TV and spending more time on digital platforms.
Despite these changes, traditional forms of mass media are not disappearing. Newspapers, though
struggling, continue to serve as a primary source of news for many people, especially in regions with
limited internet access. Similarly, television still plays a major role in entertainment and news broadcasts.
While digital media has changed the way we consume information, mass media as a whole remains a
powerful force in shaping culture and society.

Read the following passage about The Development of Mass Media and mark the letter A, B, C or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Over the last century, the mass media has evolved significantly, becoming an integral part of daily life.
One of the key drivers of this transformation has been the rapid advancement of technology, which has
allowed information to be transmitted faster and more efficiently across the globe. Today, mass media
encompasses a wide range of platforms, including newspapers, radio, television, and the internet, each
playing a unique role in how information is shared and consumed.
There are several factors that have contributed to the growth of the mass media. First, technological
innovations such as the printing press, radio waves, and the internet have made it easier to reach a larger
audience. The internet, in particular, has revolutionized communication by enabling the instant exchange
of information worldwide. Moreover, the demand for entertainment and news has led to the establishment
of a variety of media outlets, from social media platforms to 24-hour news channels.
However, the rise of mass media has also brought about various challenges. One major issue is the spread
of misinformation. With the advent of social media and blogs, anyone can publish content, making it
difficult to separate fact from fiction. Additionally, the dominance of a few large corporations in the media
industry has raised concerns about the concentration of power and the potential for bias in news reporting.
Furthermore, while the mass media has provided unprecedented access to information, it has also
contributed to information overload, where individuals are bombarded with excessive amounts of news,
advertisements, and entertainment content.
The development of mass media has thus had a profound impact on society. On the one hand, it has
improved access to information and fostered global communication. On the other hand, it has created
challenges that need to be addressed to ensure the media remains a reliable and responsible source of
information.
