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.
The art form of the opera was first developed in the Italian city of Florence during the 1590s. At the time a group of composers and artists known as the Camerata were interested in injecting storytelling into music. They were inspired by the belief that the great tragic plays of ancient Greece had been sung rather than simply acted. Another motivation may have been the desire of the composers to find an alternative to the production of music for the Church, which they found rigid, conventional, and oppressive. This is supported by the selection of material for the opera. Early composers took their material from the mythologies of ancient Rome and Greece, which was full of plot twists, betrayals, and love affairs. From the very beginning, the sobriety of the Church had little place in opera.
Opera was an almost immediate success in Italy. Composers quickly embraced the new art form for the opportunities and creative freedom it offered. Wealthy nobles supported the opera because its elaborate and expensive performances allowed them to display their wealth as well as their sophistication. The early years of opera were marked primarily by experimentation. Since it was a new art form, everything was new and untested. Early composers experimented with the structure, subject material, and organization of the opera. They tried different placements for the orchestra, as well as different sizes. By the early 1600s, however, the format of the opera was approaching what we know today.
The underlined word “them” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _______.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Risk-Taking: An Important Part of Adolescence
1. Taking risks and trying new experiences are normal and essential parts of adolescence. These behaviors allow teenagers to explore their identity, develop new skills, and prepare for independence. This natural curiosity helps them step out of their comfort zones, enabling personal growth and learning.
2. During adolescence, the brain undergoes significant changes. It forms new connections, removes unused pathways, and strengthens important ones based on experiences. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter, plays a key role in these changes. Dopamine is not only responsible for the brain's reward system but also supports learning and motivation by focusing attention on important events or outcomes.
3. When adolescents experience uncertain or surprising rewards, their brains release extra dopamine. This signals to the brain that the experience is important and needs attention. This process helps shape neural connections and supports learning, making risk-taking an effective way for adolescents to adapt and grow.
4. Adolescents release more dopamine than children or adults, making them more sensitive to rewards and new experiences. While not all teenagers enjoy taking risks, many are naturally drawn to activities with uncertain outcomes. Dopamine also helps with attention and decision-making, enabling adolescents to manage complex tasks as effectively as adults by their mid-teens.
5. Social situations also impact risk-taking. Teenagers are more likely to take risks when peers are present, as the rewards feel greater. Peer influence can also inspire positive risks, such as supporting others or standing up for meaningful causes. With proper guidance, adolescent risk-taking can lead to growth and success.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an impact of risk-taking on teenagers?
