answer to each of the following questions from 12 to 19.
As smartphones increasingly dominate online activity, improving mobile usability has become a strategic 
priority for digital designers. Compared with desktop interfaces, mobile environments present 
constraints due to limited screen space and touch-based interaction. These conditions require layouts that 
minimise distraction, highlight essential functions and help users complete tasks efficiently without 
excessive cognitive effort.
A common problem in mobile interface design is visual clutter. When too many buttons, images or text 
blocks compete for attention, users may struggle to navigate effectively or interpret information 
accurately. Establishing a clear visual hierarchy, maintaining consistent design patterns and ensuring 
readable typography allow users to process content more smoothly. Removing redundant elements and 
simplifying structures can significantly enhance clarity while preserving functional balance and interface 
consistency.
Effective navigation is essential for maintaining usability across mobile platforms. Since small screens 
cannot accommodate complex menu systems, designers must adopt simplified and logically organised 
structures. Features such as compact icons, bottom navigation bars and gesture-based commands are 
widely used to facilitate quicker interaction. However, these solutions must be carefully designed, as 
poorly labelled or hidden functions may confuse users and reduce overall satisfaction.
Performance and responsiveness also shape user experience. Mobile users often access information in 
short sessions and expect immediate results. When a page loads slowly or relies heavily on visual effects, 
users may abandon it more quickly, weakening long-term engagement. Technical optimisation, including 
image compression, efficient coding and adaptive design, supports smoother performance across devices 
and varying network conditions.
Finally, user testing remains crucial in mobile design. By observing real usage patterns, designers can 
identify obstacles that theoretical assumptions overlook. They can then adjust layouts and refine 
navigation flows to align better with user expectations. In a competitive digital marketplace, usability 
functions not merely as an enhancement but as a fundamental requirement for sustained growth.

option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
While greenwashing has received significant public attention, brownwashing remains less widely 
recognised. It occurs when companies intentionally minimise or obscure their genuine environmental 
progress in public communication. (26) . As a result, firms may appear less environmentally responsible 
than they actually are.
One reason for this behaviour is the increasing pressure placed on companies to meet ambitious 
sustainability targets. (27)
 . In such situations, organisations may prefer to avoid strong claims altogether rather than draw 
attention to commitments they may struggle to fulfil. This cautious approach can be particularly common 
in highly competitive industries.
However, brownwashing can also create unintended consequences, (28) . When companies fail to 
communicate their achievements clearly, stakeholders may struggle to identify which firms are genuinely 
making progress.
Another concern is that inconsistent communication practices make comparison difficult. (29) , those 
that communicate more clearly may gain an advantage, regardless of their actual environmental 
performance.
To address these challenges, experts suggest that improving both transparency and consistency is 
essential. The key issue is (30)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best 
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
For more than fifteen years, environmental organisations, scientists and Indigenous communities 
campaigned for stronger protection of the High Seas – the vast areas of ocean beyond national 
jurisdiction. These waters, covering nearly half of the planet, had long remained largely unregulated and 
vulnerable to intensive resource exploitation. In early 2026, their efforts culminated in the entry into 
force of the Global Ocean Treaty, creating a new legal framework for international marine governance.
Before the Treaty, less than one percent of the High Seas was fully or highly protected. Industrial fishing 
fleets operated with minimal restrictions, and proposals for deep-sea mining raised concerns about 
irreversible ecological damage and long-term habitat degradation. [I] By establishing a formal process to 
designate marine protected areas, the Treaty provides governments with tools to conserve biodiversity on 
a scale not previously possible in international waters.
Supporters argue that protecting the High Seas is essential not only for marine life but also for climate 
stability. Oceans absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide and regulate global temperatures. Moreover, 
billions of people depend on healthy marine ecosystems for food security and economic livelihoods. In 
this context, ocean conservation is increasingly viewed as central to sustainable development rather 
than a purely environmental objective.
Nevertheless, adoption of the Treaty did not occur without resistance. [II] Some governments were 
initially reluctant to accept binding obligations that might limit industrial expansion. Negotiations 
required compromise, and implementation will depend on
continued political will and institutional coordination. Under the agreement, proposals for protected areas 
must be based on scientific evidence and involve consultation with affected communities, ensuring 
legitimacy and accountability. World leaders have committed to protecting 30 percent of the world’s oceans by 2030 – the “30x30” 
goal. [III] Achieving this target will demand consistent monitoring, transparent reporting and meaningful 
enforcement. Past environmental agreements demonstrate that ambitious pledges alone do not 
automatically produce measurable results.
[IV] The Global Ocean Treaty therefore represents both a diplomatic achievement and a test of global 
commitment. Its ultimate impact will depend on whether governments transform negotiated promises into 
sustained protection for marine ecosystems.

C. Industrial exploitation in the High Seas revealed regulatory failings that the Treaty was designed to 
address.
D. Weak protection and growing exploitation in the High Seas highlighted the need for the Treaty 
framework.
Question 36. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Efforts to safeguard marine ecosystems are mainly promoted for environmental reasons, while their 
developmental role remains uncertain.
B. The protection of marine ecosystems is increasingly discussed within sustainability debates, yet still 
treated chiefly as an ecological issue.
C. Beyond environmental considerations, protecting the oceans is increasingly regarded as integral to 
long-term social and economic progress.

A. withdrew from multilateral discussions entirely
B. rejected community involvement requirements
C. resisted accepting legally binding obligations
D. opposed formal scientific consultation processes
Question 38. It can be inferred from the passage that the Treaty’s effectiveness will hinge on .
A. legal adoption automatically producing ecological recovery
B. preventing economic expansion in marine industries altogether
C. the 30x30 pledge guaranteeing universal compliance
D. national priorities aligning with collective enforcement mechanisms
Question 39. Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?
“Such hesitation illustrates the tension between environmental ambition and economic calculation.”
A. [II] B. [I] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. International marine agreements often project ambitious goals but risk remaining symbolic unless 
backed by rigorous enforcement and political commitment.
B. Structural challenges in regulating international waters continue to undermine attempts at 
comprehensive ocean protection, despite diplomatic progress.
C. The Treaty is a landmark achievement, yet its credibility depends on governments translating 
negotiated promises into sustained ecological protection.
D. Efforts to conserve the High Seas reveal persistent tensions between environmental imperatives and 
economic expansion, complicating global governance.
