Read the following passage about a phobia and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

    Nomophobia, short for ‘no-mobile-phone phobia,’ is a modern phenomenon that affects many people in today’s digital age.

    What is nomophobia? It is the irrational fear of being without one’s mobile phone or being unable to use it. This condition can cause anxiety and distress, and it highlights the profound impact mobile devices have on our lives. The fear of losing or being separated from one’s phone is a growing concern. Some common situations that trigger nomophobia include misplacing one’s phone, running out of battery, or losing network signal. The fear intensifies when people imagine not having their phones to contact friends and family, access the internet, or use GPS for navigation.

    Who easily suffers from nomophobia? Nomophobia is not limited to any age group and can affect individuals of all backgrounds. It often becomes evident when people experience panic or anxiety when they forget their phones at home or are unable to use them temporarily. Symptoms may include restlessness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and a sense of insecurity.

    The roots of nomophobia lie in the convenience and connectedness that mobile phones provide. These devices have become integral to our daily lives, serving as not just communication tools but also cameras, entertainment hubs, personal organizers, and more. This dependence on mobile phones can lead to a feeling of vulnerability when separated from them.

Read the following passage about the history of media and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

    In today’s world, we have different kinds of media available to us at all times. [I] However, did you know that the history of media actually goes back millennia? [II] By this definition, we can say with confidence that human beings created the first type of media around 64,000 years ago when we first began painting simplistic symbols on the walls of caves. [III] Since then, the more we have evolved, the more advanced our media have become. [IV]

    According to experts, it was sometime around 3,400 BC when human beings first began utilising written language as a means of communication. For generations, apart from verbal communication, they had to write everything manually until the mid-1440s. It was Johannes Gutenberg who revolutionised media when he created an invention called the printing press. This marked the beginning of what we now call ‘mass media’: Gutenberg’s innovative invention made print media like books, newspapers and magazines at a large scale and much information with a wider audience than ever before.

    Several hundred years after the invention of the printing press, during the 19th century, we created cameras and later, the radio. The invention of the radio began the age of broadcast media, and the development of television swiftly followed it. This allowed many people to watch fascinating movies, programmes and documentaries, all of which remain popular today.

    In the 2000s, we saw the rise of digital media. Now, we visit web pages, listen to podcasts, stream music and communicate on social media using our smartphones. We even use QR codes to share information instantly. We have come a long way, and so have the ways we communicate!
