Question
- according to the paragraph 2, which of the following is directly responsible for energy production?
a. the turning of the turbine blades
b. the escape of pressurized steam
c. the removal of the control rod
d. the positioning of the uranium fuel rods

b. contaminated with toxic elements
c. completely annihilated
d. honored as a memorial to the tragic incident
- which of the following literary techniques does the author use in the passage?

ii. foreshadowing, characterized by the use of hints that depict future events in the narrative or story
iii. flashback, characterized by the description of a scene set in a time earlier than the main story
a. i only

c. ii and iii only
d. i, ii, and iii
- as used in paragraph 4, which is the best synonym for precarious?
a. slow
b. difficult
c. risky
d. involved
Question 3
In energy production (e.g., in a power plant, including nuclear power), turbine blades turning is directly linked to generating mechanical energy that can be converted to electrical energy. Pressurized steam escape is part of the process but not the direct energy production act; control rod removal and uranium fuel rod positioning are more about initiating/releasing energy sources rather than the direct production step.
Question 4
After a reactor explosion and meltdown (like in nuclear disasters), the reactor core and surrounding areas become contaminated with radioactive (toxic) elements from the nuclear fuel and fission products. Official documents would mention the reactor, it’s not “completely annihilated” (structures remain in a damaged state), and it’s not honored as a memorial in typical cases (more likely contained or decommissioned due to contamination).
Question 5
Hyperbole uses exaggeration (e.g., describing the disaster’s impact as “apocalyptic” for effect). Foreshadowing (hints of future events) and flashback (scene from earlier time) are not present in a typical factual or recount - style passage about a reactor incident (if the passage is a straightforward account), so only hyperbole (I) is used.
