Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 32 to 39.
Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works He traveled extensively and used the knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels In 1837, at the age of eighteen, Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to
Liverpool, England His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849) In 1841
Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel Omoo (1847) After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S naval frigate that was returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy seaman
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations However, in 1851, with the publication of Moby Dick, Melville’s popularity started to diminish Moby Dick, on one level the saga of the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of man
against the universe The public was not ready for Melville’s literary metamorphosis from romantic

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 48
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in
society Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today A man usually lived
until he was about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young The parents lived through their children.
Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young It was the custom that the fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry The mothers had little say
in it since they rarely made any decisions outside the household The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well Therefore, it was important that her father choose the
bridegroom very well Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too It
was very unlikely that people married outside their social class A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King’s business advisors In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept Often, however,
arranged marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and
security in an ever-changing world.
