Types of Passages in the Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer PTE Task
Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer
Sample Question 1:
There's bad news for parents who frequently plop their kids in front of the TV to give themselves a break: It might actually end up leaving moms and dads more stressed.
Why? Because the more television that kids watch, the more they're exposed to advertising messages. The more advertising they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when they go with their parents to the store -- and perhaps make a fuss if told "no." All that, researchers say, may contribute to parents' overall stress levels, well beyond a single shopping trip.
The findings come from a University of Arizona-led study, published in the International Journal of Advertising, that explores the potential effects of children's television watching habits on their parents' stress levels.
"The more advertising children see, the more they ask for things and the more conflict is generated," said lead study author Matthew Lapierre, an assistant professor in the UArizona Department of Communication in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. "What we haven't looked at before is what the potential effect is on parents. We know kids ask for things, we know it leads to conflict, but we wanted to ask the next question: Could this be contributing to parents' overall stress?" The study suggests that it could. There are a few things parents can do, perhaps the most obvious of which is limiting screen time.
Sample Question 2:
Spirituality and finance go hand in hand. Spirituality does not mean being religious. It means connecting oneself to his or her own self. The spiritual essence of a man is in giving and being generous and try and create situations where they continuously do something for others or humanity. Spirituality means connecting oneself to the higher self and the higher self is connected with everyone’s higher self. In this way, we all are connected to each other. According to this theory then, each person who is doing things for himself is limited. But for a person who thinks he is connected with humanity as a whole and whatever he is earning should be for everyone, it is considered spiritual. So, whether it was the airplane created by the Wright brothers, or an invention to cure a disease like cancer or anaesthesia, they did something for the human race. So, spirituality comes to those who are generous and have peace of mind. When the mind is full of peace and free of stress, only then it will have space to create abundance. Therefore, people who follow spirituality and meditate are blessed with more clarity, peace, patience and eventually happiness and abundance. Spirituality is a great friend of prosperity. Learning about finance is similar to learning about spirituality. Working for your own good will never help you in your financial condition.
Sample Question 3:
Australian paramedics are exceptionally well-trained medical professionals who are well-versed in emergency healthcare and hold an Advanced Diploma of Health Science certificate. The latter can be upgraded to a degree by off-campus recognized institutions, but this can only be achieved with a concurrent employment with any ambulance services and with at least two years of relevant clinical experience. There is another avenue for these paramedics, but it is more research-inclined: a Master of Emergency Health course for paramedics. Be it as it may, even though paramedics are not regarded as important as doctors, the services provided by them are quite taxing, both physically and emotionally.
