(1.25 points) Farming was the main way of life for most people in medieval Europe, around 500 to 1500 AD. Families lived on small farms, growing crops and raising animals for food. Life was difficult, with long hours of work and harsh weather conditions. Most farm families lived in simple one-room houses made of wood and thatch (a straw roofing material). Furniture was scarce, and people slept on straw mattresses on the floor. Food was plain and often scarce. People mainly ate bread, vegetables, and occasionally some meat. Children helped with chores from a young age. Boys learned to plow fields, plant seeds, and care for animals. Girls helped with cooking, cleaning, and tending to the vegetable garden. Education was not common for farmers. Most people could not read or write. Despite the hardships, there were also moments of leisure. Feasts were held on special occasions, and people enjoyed games, music, and storytelling. Religion played a central role in people’s lives. Most people attended church regularly and believed strongly in God. 1. What was the main occupation of most people in medieval Europe? A. Farmers B. Merchants C. Knights D. Kings 2.

(1.25 points) Being a teenager is like navigating a three-ring circus. On one hand, you’re juggling the demands of school, with exams, homework, and projects testing your academic skills. On the other hand, you’re likely involved in extracurricular activities, from sports and clubs to music lessons and volunteering. Add to that the ever-present desire for social interaction with friends and family, and it’s no wonder teenagers often feel stretched thin. This constant balancing act can be challenging. Finding enough time to meet all your commitments can be a struggle, leading to feelings of stress and anxiety. Prioritizing tasks and creating a schedule can help, but unexpected events and changes in plans can throw everything out of whack. However, navigating this juggling act also offers valuable lessons. It teaches teenagers valuable skills like time management, organization, and prioritization. They learn to be responsible, handle
pressure, and adapt to changing situations. Additionally, the diverse experiences gained through academics, activities, and social interactions contribute to personal development and self-discovery. 1. ___ The main idea of the passage is that teenagers should focus only on their academic life. 2. ___ Teenagers are often involved in various activities beyond just schoolwork. 3. ___ Prioritizing tasks and creating a schedule can be detrimental to managing time effectively. 4. ___ Unexpected events can disrupt a teenager’s carefully planned schedule. 5. ___ Participating in different activities offers no benefits to teenagers.
