SET E. VOCABULARY

DIRECTION:

Each item below consists of a phrase which is followed by a selection of four (4) choices below. Choose the word or group of words most similar in meaning to the CAPITALIZED word. 

SET F. COMPREHENSION

DIRECTION:

Begin by reading the passage or selection carefully then answer the question by choosing the corresponding choice which best completes the statement or answers the question. Work carefully but rapidly. 

SELECTION 1:

Many organizations, once they become successful, are apt to lose their original drives and visions. Because this is so, I've often suggested that we have an Officer-in-Charge-of-Revolution. He would be one man not responsible for any operations. He would stand to one side, with whatever staff he needed, to pick holes in whatever we were doing and remind us of our basic philosophy, our fundamental concepts. His job would be to stir up everything and everybody, to criticize and challenge everything being done - objectives, methods, programs, results. He would keep us so discontented with the status quo there'd be any doubt of our desire to seek new ways to meet people's need. He would keep us on the right track. 

I believe that many people oppose a new idea because they do not feel capable of jumping in and handling it. They would rather oppose it and keep their little jobs down pat as they have gotten them organized than try to tackle something that might throw them out of their routines - and possibly out of their jobs. I would want my Officer-in-Charge-of-Revolution to spend time throwing us off balance, shaking us out of our coziness, making us feel a little insecure and uncertain. 

SELECTION 2:

"Workers and farmers are co-creators of nation's wealth. They play a central role in the effort toward national recovery and continued growth. The Philippine government endeavors to create an econimic structure that can assure a decent lfie for them and their families. This is an obligation in justice as well as due to recognition of the nation's debt for the wealth created by the sweat of their brows. This is also a common sense for the firmest foundation of a stable economy, is a motivated working force with the purchasing power to absorb the main part of a nation's productivity, and which feels that is a genuine partner in the nation's economic life. 

SET G. PROBLEM SOLVING

DIRECTION:

Reach each problem carefully and select the correct answer from the choices below. Choose the corresponding answer.
