שאלה 1
Read the passage: "The popular claim that human attention spans have shrunk to less than that of a goldfish has circulated widely online, but the scientific basis for this claim is far shakier than its popularity suggests. The comparison originates from a frequently cited but never properly verified statistic, and researchers who study attention argue that the concept itself is far too complex to summarize with a single number. Attention is not one uniform ability; a person's capacity to focus varies enormously depending on the task, their level of interest, and how information is presented. Some studies do suggest that constant digital notifications can make sustained, focused attention on a single task more difficult to maintain, but this is a different claim from saying overall attention capacity has permanently declined. Psychologists studying digital habits caution against treating attention as a fixed resource that technology simply drains, arguing instead that people are adapting to a media environment where switching between tasks happens more frequently, which is a change in behavior patterns rather than proof of a shrinking biological capacity." In this passage, the word "shakier" most nearly means:
אto a degree that prevents or discourages something, often referring to cost
בholds or keeps a feeling, often for a long time
גless solid, less well-supported, or less reliable
דmade to happen or operate at the same time or rate as something else

שאלה 4
Read the passage: "For centuries, the spice trade shaped global politics far more than most people today realize. Spices such as pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg were once so valuable in Europe that they were sometimes used as currency or even as a measure of wealth comparable to gold. This extraordinary value stemmed largely from geography: many of the most sought-after spices grew only in specific regions of South and Southeast Asia, forcing European traders to rely on long, dangerous routes controlled by intermediaries. The desire to bypass these intermediaries and access spices directly was a major motivation behind several famous voyages of exploration, including those seeking a sea route to Asia around Africa. Portuguese and later Dutch traders eventually established direct maritime routes, dramatically lowering spice prices in Europe and shifting economic power toward nations with strong navies. Ironically, the very success of these expeditions gradually reduced the extreme value of spices, since increased supply naturally drove prices down, illustrating how economic scarcity, not the spices themselves, had driven so much of history's ambition." In this passage, the word "intermediaries" most nearly means:
אless solid, less well-supported, or less reliable
בmade to happen or operate at the same time or rate as something else
גpeople or parties who act as a link between two sides, often for a fee or profit
