answer to each of the following questions.
At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started spreading in China. This type of coronavirus is often called
2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COV1D-19. It ¡s believed that the virus was transmitted from animals to
humans. Some of the first cases were diagnosed in people who had visited a market selling live seafood and
animals. Unfortunately, when viruses are transmitted from animals to people, it can take scientists a lot of time
before they can develop a vaccine or medicines to cure it
Some of the symptoms of the coronavirus are fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, headache, and trouble
breathing. These symptoms are very much like those people have with a cold or the flu. The virus appears to
spread mainly from person to person. The transmission occurs when someone comes into contact with an infected
person. For example, a cough, sneeze or handshake could cause transmission. The spread may also be caused by
coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
There is no specific vaccine or medication to cure the disease, but generally, symptoms will go away on their own.
However, experts recommend seeking medical care early if symptoms feel worse than a standard cold. Doctors can
relieve symptoms
by prescribing pain or fever medication. As far as antibiotics are concerned, they are useless to treat coronavirus.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions .
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and was perhaps the first to form. It is among the ten
most common elements on Earth as well and one of the most useful for industrial purposes. Under normal
conditions of temperature, hydrogen is a gas. Designated as H, hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table
because it contains only one proton. Hydrogen can combine with a large number of other elements, forming more
compounds than any of the others. Pure hydrogen seldom occurs naturally, but it exists in most organic
compounds, that is, compounds that contain carbon, which account for a very large number of compounds.
Moreover, hydrogen is found in inorganic compounds. For example, when hydrogen burns in the presence of
oxygen, it forms water.
The lightest and simplest of the elements, hydrogen has several properties that make it valuable for many
industries. It releases more heat per unit of weight than any other fuel. In rocket engines, tons of hydrogen and
