St. Thomas Aquinas gave five proofs for God’s existence. The first two are
cosmological: there can be no uncaused cause, so the universe could not have created
itself, so there must be a first cause/prime mover, (Appiah, 2003, p. 322), which he calls
“God.” This, in my view, does not prove anything. He is saying the universe cannot have
come from nothing, but its creator can. If God is an exception to the “no uncaused
cause” rule, why cannot the universe be? (Russell, 1927).
---The correct answer is: Counterclaim
Lord Templeman suggested that the issue of consent was irrelevant to the question of
the illegality of an action, since the latter constitutes a breach of the peace. This traces
back to high-minded English snobbery about a king needing able-bodied soldiers. The
idea seems to be that a society is more important than its individuals. But this is, of
course, erroneous, for it seems obvious, upon reflection, that there can be nothing more
sacred than individual liberty.
---The correct answer is: Counterclaim
On the other hand, the exploitation of the system of standardized testing is linked to a
number of issues. Thus, many feel that tests do not provide accurate evaluations of a
student’s knowledge and learning capabilities, particularly due to the fact that in order to
pass a test, a simple memorization is preferred to critical thinking and higher learning
(Strong 254).
---The correct answer is: Counterclaim
Of course, any book can be described like this; for example, the plot of “The Lord of the
Rings” can be described even in a shorter way: “Four guys go to a dangerous land to
defeat ancient evil by destroying an important artifact, and their friends help them.”
However, unlike Tolkien’s novel, Twilight has nothing to offer to a reader except the
events described in the previous paragraph. This is ridiculous, considering four
published books, some sort of online encyclopedia, and movies.
---The correct answer is: Counterclaim
It is equally possible many gods could exist. Furthermore, St. Thomas uses “God” as a
label for the first cause. The first cause is not necessarily the Christian God (Dawkins,
2007, p. 101)—all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good (all-k.p.g.), or anything God is
usually considered to be.

Rowling created truly vivid characters; however, not all of them revealed their potential
from the very beginning. Surprisingly, the one who truly took his time before finally
showing his personality was Harry. Whereas Ron, Hermione, Draco, Snape, and other
characters possessed vivid and readable personalities from the very beginning, for a
long time, Harry remains some kind of an “event-trigger,” whose main goal is to move
the story forward.

R. Dworkin does something rather novel and considers that, rather than being immoral,
something could be from a different moral code (1977, p. 995). This, of course, makes
perfect sense, and is what I have said already. I would even go so far as to suggest that
it is impossible to act immorally. This is another reason morality and legality must
remain separate, because, whereas illegal acts exist, immoral ones do not.

A review of Harry Potter contains the following passage:
It all starts in a rather trivial way though—with a boy being branded as the “unique one,”

A review of the Twilight Saga contains the following passage:
The first and foremost question: why would a 104 year-old person fall in love with a
teenager? Theoretically, people get wiser when they get older, although reality proves it
is not necessarily so. I would understand if Edward treated Bella as an adopted
daughter, at least. But love? There is a special word for adult men having romantic and
sexual relationships with teen girls. Also, according to folklore, vampires are sadistic,
vile, and sexually-insatiable creatures, so in a proper vampire story, exploitation and
being devoured would be Bella’s only options. But a true, clean, and romantic love?
This is stupid. The only reason why it became possible is probably because aging has
negatively affected Edward’s (and his family’s) mental capabilities. Also, why would
Bella not feel scared of knowing people who suck blood, or who can turn into savage
beasts? What kind of weird taste or fetish is that? And it is not only Bella and Edward
acting weird—Jacob, Victoria, the vampire clans, and other folks appearing in Twilight
seem to have little to no common sense, reason, or logic.

Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
The study, "A Content Analysis of The Catalyst’s News Stories From 1986 to 2010",
seeks to find out how The Catalyst, the official student publication of Polytechnic
University of the Philippines selected and treated the news articles they have published
from 1986 to 2010.
The researchers wanted to classify the news issues which The Catalyst gave emphasis
on into categories: Political, Financial/Economic, Peace and Order, Social, Rebellion,
Religious, Sports/Entertainment, Miscellaneous and Politics within University. The
researchers also sorted The Catalyst’s news articles in terms of the following:
Scope/Origin, Chronology/Sequence, Structure and Content. Lastly, the researchers
intended to determine the treatment and the tone of the news articles.
The researchers used convenience sampling method. The researchers have content
analyzed 84 existing issues from the year 1986 up to 2010. The researchers
categorized 586 news articles from the said issues into categories based on the criteria
following the three major variables in content analysis by Elena Pernia (2004).
Based on the observations and results of the content analysis, it was determined that
The Catalyst’s style changed from the orthodox style in 1986 to different forms of layout
in the later years. Moreover, The Catalyst transitioned from using blue ink to mainly
using black ink and later on red ink.
Moreover, the scope of The Catalyst’s news was mostly local. The student publication
usually covered events within the university. Most of the student publication’s news
stories were straight news. The news articles were mostly treated as neutral, meaning
the news were written merely as statement of events in the simplest and most objective
way. The researchers concluded that The Catalyst has performed its duty as the official
student publication of PUP through disseminating information that would be of concern
to the students and the university.
---The correct answer is:
Abstract
Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
The researchers used the three major variables by Pernia (2004) as basic instrument in
analyzing the news stories of The Catalyst. With each category is a set of keywords to
make the coding easier for the coders. The coders would determine the category an
article belongs to through the keywords provided.
---The correct answer is: Methods
Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
The researchers analyzed all the news stories of each issue of The Catalyst starting
from 1986 up to 2010, with the exception of the special issues released and the issues
without dates available in the university archives. There were no recorded issues of The
Catalyst in the year 1989 and 1990 due to problems within the publication while there
were no issues for the year 1999 at the archives during the time of the coding. News
roundups and news bits in every issue are also not included in this particular study but
would focus on the stories in the news section and sports section.
---The correct answer is: Limitations
Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
Due to lack of job opportunities here in the Philippines, there are Filipinos who were
willing to work abroad to earn higher salary compared to the Philippines’. These people
are called OFWs or Overseas Filipino Workers. They are ready to sacrifice their lives
here in the Philippines for the sake of earning more money. Because of this, they were
referred to as “New Heroes”.
Our government is not that vocal about the progress of the country’s economy through
the help of OFWs yet they encourage more Filipinos to accept different jobs abroad.
The OFWs’ children are the ones highly by their parent’s departure. They have to suffer
the loneliness of not having their parent/s with them.
Although they have guardians to look after them and to care for them, nothing can
compare to a parent’s love and affection.
There are laws and agencies that protect and support OFWs but the child would not be
ensured of their parent’s safety. They would be surely anxious of the condition of their
parents because of the distance that makes the young ones worry about them.
---The correct answer is: Results
Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
In line with this, the scope of the publication’s news articles is within the immediate
proximity which is the university and its branches. Therefore, these findings reflect that
The Catalyst does its duty as the student publication to serve the student body, first and
foremost.
The ruling quantity of news classified into spot news depicted that the abundance of
news within the local proximity were given the utmost priority by the editorial board.
Events which occurred in PUP demanded immediate publication to easily spread the
information to the rest of the university.
---The correct answer is: Conclusion
Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
Departure of Filipinos was beneficial to the country and to the families of OFWs, since
the dollar reserve that we can get from them saved us from economic turmoil. But let us
think about the children as well, they may experience great loneliness due to their
parent’s absence.
Communication is important, considering the distance between the parent and the child.
The OFWs should communicate with their children regularly so as not to create a
distance between them. It could also help the child if the parent is easily approachable.
Imagine if communicating devices did not exist. It would be a great suffering for both the
parents and the children since snail mail, the alternative communication, would take a
long time of process just to reach the receiver, unlike e-mail, in which the message
would be sent in just a matter of seconds.
If the parents truly care for the child, they would always make a way to extend their love
overseas to reach them through communication.
The children also need their guardians to plan “outings” and other activities that they
would all enjoy for them not to feel alone.
---The correct answer is: Recommendations

The History of Philippine Journalism
Journalism in the Philippines has gone through a number of both setbacks and boosts.

one-shot fling at journalism, the “Hojas Volantes” (Flying sheets) or Spaniards’ notice to
the public, were widely distributed in the country for mass readership.

"The language Tolkien uses (and he was a British professor of linguistics and philology),
the aforementioned epic scales of storyline, the incredibly diverse cultural background
behind the novel—its characters, plot, described events—this and many other factors
make reading the trilogy rather an intellectual than entertaining occupation."

moments in world literature of the 20th century); the resurrection of Gandalf the White;
the transformation of King Theoden; the siege of Helm’s Deep; the uprising of the ents
and Saruman’s exile; recruiting of the undead army by Aragorn; the battle for Minas
Tirith and the sortie to the Black Gate of Mordor; the defeat of the Witch-King of
Angmar; the annihilation of the Ring; Aragorn’s marriage with Arwen and honors to the

Rings” is enormous."

a substantial amount of news articles with miscellaneous issues taking up 26.97% of the
total number of articles. As provided in the definition of news by Bangkok Post, there
are miscellaneous stories which continually appear in the news section. In this study,
these news articles are common stories within PUP which did not fall to any of the other
categories.
---The correct answer is: Results
Identify the part of the research report where the following passage falls:
OFW parents could influence their children in either good or bad way. Children who
have parents as overseas workers would be considered well-off in life because of the
money, not to mention, dollars sent to them. But OFWs are willing to endure all the
pains and sufferings of having their families away from them because in the end, they
are recognized by the government and by every Filipino.
Because of this, former President Corazon Aquino acknowledged their sacrifices, efforts
and contributions by referring to them as the modern heroes in the speech she gave last
1988 to a group of domestic helpers in Hong Kong.
In honor of the OFWs who kept our country’s economy afloat as well as their families’
lives, the Philippines celebrates December as the “Month of Overseas Filipino Workers”,
to pay tribute to them.
