שאלה 1
Read the passage: "As cities around the world continue to grow, urban farming has emerged as more than just a trend among hobbyists; it is increasingly viewed as a practical response to challenges in food security and environmental sustainability. Rooftop gardens, vertical farming towers, and repurposed warehouse spaces now produce vegetables, herbs, and even fish within city limits, dramatically shortening the distance food travels from farm to table. Proponents argue this reduces transportation emissions and provides fresher produce to urban residents who might otherwise live in so-called food deserts, areas with limited access to affordable, healthy food. However, urban farming faces real limitations: the initial cost of specialized equipment, such as climate-controlled vertical farming systems, can be prohibitively expensive, and the energy required to power artificial lighting sometimes offsets the environmental benefits of shorter transportation. Critics also note that urban farms, even at scale, can only supply a small fraction of a city's total food needs, meaning they should be viewed as a valuable supplement to traditional agriculture rather than a wholesale replacement for it." Which cause-and-effect relationship is accurately described in the passage?
אAs a result of artificial lighting and blue light from screens late at night, there is confusion in the body's internal clock about whether it is daytime or nighttime
בAs a result of capable people having a clearer view of how much they still do not know in their field, there is a tendency for their own accomplishments to feel less impressive by comparison
גAs a result of the establishment of direct maritime spice routes increasing supply, there is a dramatic drop in spice prices in Europe
דAs a result of the energy required to power artificial lighting in vertical farms, there is a reduction in the net environmental benefit gained from shorter transportation distances

שאלה 2
Read the passage: "Octopuses possess a level of intelligence that puzzles scientists, largely because their brains evolved along a completely different path from those of mammals. Rather than concentrating neurons in a single central brain, an octopus distributes roughly two-thirds of its neurons throughout its eight arms, allowing each arm to process information and react semi-independently. This unusual architecture lets an octopus solve problems, such as opening a jar to reach food inside, without conscious oversight from the central brain for every movement. Laboratory studies have shown octopuses learning to navigate mazes, recognize individual human faces, and even use coconut shells as portable shelters, a behavior some researchers classify as tool use. Despite this apparent cleverness, octopuses live remarkably short lives, often only one to two years, which makes their capacity for complex learning even more puzzling: there is little time for an individual to benefit from lessons learned early in life. Some scientists suggest their intelligence evolved primarily to solve immediate survival problems, such as escaping predators, rather than for long-term planning." Which cause-and-effect relationship is accurately described in the passage?
אAs a result of artificial lighting and blue light from screens late at night, there is confusion in the body's internal clock about whether it is daytime or nighttime
בAs a result of constant digital notifications, there is greater difficulty maintaining sustained, focused attention on a single task
גAs a result of the short one-to-two-year lifespan of octopuses, there is an unusually puzzling case of learning ability given such a brief lifespan
דAs a result of the establishment of direct maritime spice routes increasing supply, there is a dramatic drop in spice prices in Europe

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."

Read the passage: "Impostor syndrome, a psychological pattern in which a person doubts their own accomplishments and harbors a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, was first described by psychologists in the late 1970s, initially based on observations of high-achieving women. Since then, research has shown that the experience is far more widespread, affecting people across genders, professions, and levels of accomplishment, including some of the most objectively successful individuals in their fields. What makes impostor syndrome particularly puzzling is that it does not correlate strongly with actual competence: highly skilled individuals often report feeling like impostors just as intensely as those with more modest achievements, suggesting the phenomenon has more to do with how people interpret their success than with the success itself. Some psychologists argue that impostor feelings can, ironically, coexist with genuine achievement precisely because capable people tend to have a clearer view of how much they still do not know, making their own accomplishments feel less impressive by comparison to the vast scope of their field."
