Read the text carefully. Then, choose the letter of the correct answer.
Matter may undergo changes. One of these is physical change. A physical change is one which does not alter the chemical composition of a substance. An example of physical change is phase change. For example, when water freezes, it changes from liquid to solid. Melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation are the processes involved in changing the phases of water. When a substance undergoes changes in its phase, its physical properties also change. Ice, water, and water vapor have different physical properties. However, they have the same chemical composition.

Which type of text is being developed in the following sentences?
At one time, there was just the sky, the sea, and the crow flying between them. The crow got tired off lying, but could find no place to sit, and stirred up the sea. When the waters of the sea reached the sky, it threw rocks to keep it down. These rocks then became the islands of the Philippines. The crow flew down and lived peacefully on one of the islands; when one day a bamboo struck its feet. Hurt and angry, the crow started pecking the bamboo until it split in two – thus Malakas, meaning strong, and Maganda, meaning beautiful, were born. Malakas and Maganda married and had numerous children. One day, fed up with the constant racket of the children, they started beating them up. Terrified, the children fled allover the place, and became the different people living on the islands. Source: English 7- Learner’s Material p.31

Which of the following statements best describes a personal recount text?
Because of their long stay in the country, many of the words and phrases used by the Spaniards have become a part of the Filipino language. Today it is estimated that about 20% of Tagalog words are Spanish. In fact, the common Tagalog greeting “Kumusta” was taken from the Spanish greeting “Como esta” or “How are you?”. Words like Diyos, eskwela, gwapo, sapatos, pamilya, trabaho, tropa and many others are also of Spanish origin. Many of our surnames are also taken from the Spanish language. This is because in 1849, the Spanish government ordered all families to choose a new last name from a list of Spanish last names to create a more organized system of keeping track of people. As a result, today there are many Spanish last names still in use, such as Garcia, Cruz, Reyes, Ramos, Santos, and others.

What pattern of development was used in the paragraph?
How people look and dress change with the passing of generations. Our ancestors, the early Filipinos, look very differently than us, modern Filipinos. Records made by the Spaniards who came to the Philippines and discoveries made by archaeologists show that the early Filipinos put gold decorations on their teeth. Some of these gold decorations look like fish scales Archaeologists even discovered some human skulls with teeth fully covered in gold. For the early Filipinos, putting gold in the teeth is a symbol of wealth. The early Filipinos also love to wear earrings. Both male and female wear earrings. Most of the earrings they wear are heavy and made of gold, so the earlobes get stretched and misshaped. The early Filipinos, both the male and female, also have long hair. Their hair is long and fragrant because of the oil from coconuts. The women before valued long hair. The early Filipinos also love to wear jewelry on the different parts of the body like the neck, arms, and legs. These are made from precious materials like gold, gems, and even the shells of turtles and pearls.
