Growing Herbs Indoors Materials you need: Containers (with
drainage holes and waterproof saucers); herb seeds and/or
plants; potting soil or soilless seed-starting mix; fertilizer
Procedures: 1. Prepare the herbs that you want to plant. The
herbs you can choose for windowsill herb garden are basil,
cilantro, dill, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. You can start
from seed for annual herbs and from plants for perennial herbs.
2. Use individual pots for each herb so you can give each plant
the specific care it needs. Be sure containers have drainage
holes and waterproof saucers. If you want to plant multiple types
of herbs in a single container, make sure they have the same
cultural requirements. 3. If starting seeds, fill container with
potting mix. Avoid using garden soil, which tends to be heavy
and may contain disease organisms. Sow seeds, checking the
seed packet to determine planting depth. Learn what conditions
each herb prefers; for example, basil prefers warmth, while sage
and rosemary like cooler temperatures. Consider choosing
compact or dwarf varieties to fit your space. 4. Next, place
containers in a sunny, south-facing window. A south-facing
window is adequate for most herbs. Water your herbs to keep
soil moist but not soggy, and drain saucers after watering.
Fertilize every two weeks with a half-strength solution of an all-
purpose fertilizer. Pinch back branching plants, such as basil, to
keep them shrubby rather than leggy. After planting the herbs,
you need to ….
Question 17 options:
give fertilizer to grow the plants well
take care of the plants by watering it regularly
find the most suitable spot to place the plants
occasionally pick the leaves to grow shrubby plants
put the new plants on a shady place for protection

The Bear Who Married a Woman Once upon a time there lived a
widow of the tribe of the Gispaxlâ'ts. Many men tried to marry
her daughter, but she declined them all. The mother said, "When
a man comes to marry you, feel of the palms of his hands. If
they are soft, decline him. If they are rough, accept him." She
meant that she wanted to have a son-in-law who is skillful in
building canoes. Her daughter obeyed her commands and
refused all young men. One night a youth came to her. The
palms of his hands were very rough, and therefore she accepted
his suit. Early in the morning, however, he had suddenly
disappeared, even before she had seen him. When her mother
arose early in the morning and went out, she found a halibut
(name of fish) on the beach in front of the house, although it
was midwinter. The following evening the young man came
back, but disappeared again before the dawn of the day. In the
morning the widow found a seal in front of the house. Thus they
lived for some time. The young woman never saw the face of her
husband; but every morning she found an animal on the beach,
every day a larger one. Thus the widow came to be very rich. She
was anxious to see her son-in-law, and one day she waited until
he arrived. Suddenly she saw a red bear appear from the water.
He carried a whale on each side, and put them down on the
beach. As soon as he noticed that he was observed, he was
transformed into a rock, which may be seen up to this day. He
was a supernatural being of the sea. Which of the following
statement is TRUE according to the text?
Question 26 options:
The daughter accepted a youth with rough palms.
The young woman rarely saw the face of her husband.
The woman wanted to have a man with soft palms as her son-in-law.
The daughter disobeyed her mom to refuse all men with soft palms.
The man and his wife objected to the daugher's choice.

The daughter knew the real identity of her husband yet still loved him.

Question 30 (1 point)
The earth has four major layers: the inner core, outer core,
mantle and crust. The crust and the top of the mantle make up a
thin skin on the surface of our planet. But this skin is not all in
one piece – it is made up of many pieces like a puzzle covering
the surface of the earth. Not only that, but these puzzle pieces
keep slowly moving around, sliding past one another and
bumping into each other. We call these puzzle pieces tectonic
plates, and the edges of the plates are called the plate
boundaries. The plate boundaries are made up of many faults,
and most of the earthquakes around the world occur on these
faults. Since the edges of the plates are rough, they get stuck
while the rest of the plate keeps moving. Finally, when the plate
has moved far enough, the edges unstuck on one of the faults
and there is an earthquake. While the edges of faults are stuck
together, and the rest of the block is moving, the energy that
would normally cause the blocks to slide past one another is
being stored up. When the force of the moving blocks finally
overcomes the friction of the jagged edges of the fault and it
unsticks, all that stored up energy is released. The energy
radiates outward from the fault in all directions in the form of
seismic waves like ripples on a pond. The seismic waves shake
the earth as they move through it, and when the waves reach the
earth's surface, they shake the ground and anything on it, like
our houses and us! Why does the writer write the text?
Question 30 options:
To describe the major layers of the earth during the earthquake.
To explain to the readers how the earthquake occurs.
To inform the readers how to prevent earthquake.
To tell the readers the impacts of an earthquake.
To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the earthquake.

Question 34 (1 point)
The Indus River Valley was once home to the most widespread
and peaceful of the ancient civilizations: the Indus Valley
civilization also referred to as the Harappan civilization. Known
for its two major cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, this society
lasted from roughly 3300 B.C. to 1300 B.C., yet it was only
recently rediscovered within the last one hundred years. Studies
of the long-buried sites show surprising and interesting findings
about the people, culture, and structures that made up this
great civilization. The phrase "early civilizations" usually
conjures up images of Egypt and Mesopotamia and their
pyramids, mummies, and golden tombs. But in the 1920s, a
huge discovery in South Asia proved that Egypt and
Mesopotamia were not the only "early civilizations." In the vast
Indus River plains (located in what is today Pakistan and western
India), under layers of land and mounds of dirt, archaeologists
discovered the remains of a 4,600-year-old city. A thriving,
urban civilization had existed at the same time as Egyptian and
Mesopotamian states—in an area twice each of their sizes. The
people of this Indus Valley civilization did not build massive
monuments like their contemporaries, nor did they bury riches
among their dead in golden tombs. There were no mummies, no
emperors, and no violent wars or bloody battles in their
territory. Remarkably, the lack of all these is what makes the
Indus Valley civilization so exciting and unique. While others
civilizations were devoting huge amounts of time and resources
to the rich, the supernatural, and the dead, Indus Valley
inhabitants were taking a practical approach to supporting the
common, secular, living people. Sure, they believed in an
afterlife and employed a system of social divisions. But they also
believed resources were more valuable in circulation among the
living than on display or buried underground. Amazingly, the
Indus Valley civilization appears to have been a peaceful one.
Very few weapons have been found and no evidence of an army
has been discovered. Excavated human bones reveal no signs of
violence, and building remains show no indication of battle. All
evidence points to a preference for peace and success in
achieving it. So how did such a practical and peaceful civilization
