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
Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the development of a society, nosingle modelonwhichdevelopmentstrategiesshouldbebased The Western model of development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible with the complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting their own values The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and foundations- often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received “development aid”
Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach to development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental problems confronting the planet as a whole Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic interactions between cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic development strategies While the international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully integrated into the development equation
The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED), entitled our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development must be sustainable - denoting a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic viability, social responsiveness and respect for the environment These pillars have since served as the basis for important standard-setting instruments, including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework Convention on ClimateChange (UNFCCC) The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg went further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in sustainable development Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth pillar of sustainability), with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication and the safeguarding of biodiversity to resource management and climate change

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
Thunderstorms, with their jagged bursts of lightning and roaring thunder, are actually one of nature’s primary mechanisms for transferring heat from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere A thunderstorm starts when low-lying pockets of warm air from the surface of the earth begin to rise The pockets of warm air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier The rising pockets cool as their pressure decreases, and their latent heat is released above the condensation line through the formation of cumulus clouds
What will happen with these clouds depends on the temperature of the atmosphere In winter, the air temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is not extremely great, and the temperature of the rising air mass drops more slowly During these colder months, the atmosphere, therefore, tends to remain rather stable In summer, however, when there is a high accumulation of heat near the earth’s surface, in direct contrast to the considerably colder air higher up, the temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is much more pronounced As warm air rises in this type of environment, the temperature drops much more rapidly than it does in winter; when the temperature drops more than degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet of altitude, cumulus clouds aggregate into a single massive cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead
(3)for destruction Within the squall line, often near its southern end, can be found supercells, long-lived rotating storms of exceptional strength that serve as the source of tornadoes

A the temperature of rising air drops more slowly than it does in winter
B there is not much cold air higher up in the atmosphere
C there is not a great temperature differential between higher and lower attitudes
D the greater temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes makes thunderstorms more likely to occur
