When we think of Earth's water resources, we think of huge oceans, lakes, and rivers. Water resources like these are called surface waters. The most obvious type of water pollution affects surface waters. For example, a spill from an oil tanker creates an oil slick that can affect a vast area of the ocean. Not all of Earth's water sits on its surface, however. A great deal of water is held in underground rock structures known as aquifers, which we cannot see and seldom think about. Water stored underground in aquifers is known as groundwater. Aquifers feed our rivers and supply much of our drinking water. They too can become polluted, for example, when weed killers used in people's gardens drain into the ground. Groundwater pol lution is much less obvious than surface-water pollution, but is no less of a problem. In 1996, a study in Iowa in the United States found that over half the state's groundwater wells were contaminated with weed killers. You might think things would have improved since then, but, two decades on, all that's really changed is the name of the chemicals we're using. Today, numerous scientific studies are still finding weed killers in groundwater in worrying quantities: a 2012 study discovered glyphosate in 41 percent of 1 40 groundwater samples from Catalonia, Spain; scientific opinion differs on whether this is safe or not. Surface waters and groundwater are the two types of water resources that pollution affects. There are also two different ways in which pollution can occur. If pollution comes from a single location, such as a discharge pipe attached to a factory, it is known as point-source pollution. Other examples of point source pollution include an oil spill from a tanker, a discharge from a smoke stack (factory chimney), or someone pouring oil from their car down a drain. A great deal of water pollution happens not from one single source but from many different scattered sources. This is called nonpoint-source pollution. When point-source pollution enters the environment, the place most affected is usually the area immediately around the source. For example, when a tanker accident occurs, the oil slick is concentrated around the tanker itself and, in the right ocean conditions, the pollution disperses the further away from the tanker you go. This is less likely to happen with nonpoint source pollution which, by definition, enters the environment from many different places at once. Sometimes pollution that enters the environment in one place has an effect hundreds or even thousands of miles away. This is known as transboundary pollution. One example is the way radioactive waste travels through the oceans from nuclear reprocessing plants in England and France to nearby countries such as Ireland and Norway. (Taken from: https://www.explainthatstuff.com/waterpol/ution.htm/) With the sentence "You might think things would have improved since then, but, two decades on, all that's really changed is the name of the chemicals we're using" in paragraph 2, the writer intends to .... (A) explain the chemica ls that are contaminating the groundwater wells (B) confirm the improvement of the polluted groundwater wells (C) explain that there is no improvement of the polluted groundwater wells (D) confirm the vanish of the groundwater well pollution (E) tell the change of the chemicals' name

For the last two decades the establishment of bilingualism taking English language as one of the target languages has become the main concern of expanding English speaking countries including Indonesia on the grounds that English serves as the global language which is widely used as a means of communication practices both spoken and written in various fields such as technology, education, business, economy, tourism, social affairs and the like. The establishment of bilingualism is not only due to the cultural and linguistic diversity within the countries, but also the growing number of the global mobility of the people to be bilinguals at al levels of society to adjust the global context. There is an evidence based on a research in 1997 that the establishment of bilingualism which includes English and another language reach 235 million people worldwide and that the two thirds of the children grow up in the environment of multilingualism. This suggests that English becomes the main menu of the establishment of being bilinguals across countries. The establishment of bilingualism including English as one of the targeted languages is rationalized by the nature of English which serves as a leading language which is dominantly used as a device to document and communicate the development of the issues of information and technology, business, tourism, and education in particular, which drive people that they could be actively involved in the global context competition. This triggers every country in the world including Indonesia to be seriously concerned about the establishment of the bilingualism for its citizens in order that Indonesian people are able to cope with global communication distractions due to their insufficient English language proficiency which directly or indirectly retards the attainment of the development of the issues of information and technology, business, tourism, and education which grow very rapidly. Adapted from: Morgana. (2075). Establishing English- Indonesian Bilinguals in Indonesia: From Theory to Practice. Yogyakarta: RA Journal of Applied Research. What is the author attitude toward the establishment of bilingualism? (A) Cynical (B) Indeterminate (C) Inquisitorial (D) Reassuring (E) Perilous

Joint ventures are a form of cooperative strategy where firms create an aliance in order to combine their resources and capabilities. The objective is to establish a stronger competitive position. Firms can diminish the negative effects of competitive rivals by building higher barriers to entry through amalgamating financial resources, research and development, production, and distribution channels. Joint Ventures increase the profitability of an industry by reducing competition in markets where both firms are present. The most common entry strategy for global firms to enter international markets is through joint ventures with local firms, folowed by acquisitions. The supermarket chain Groupe Auchan created the joint venture Sun Art Retail Group with Taiwan conglomerate Ruentex to establish China's largest hypermi.lrket chain. Global rivals Carrefour and Wai-Mart Stores, United Kingdom's Tesco, and Germany's Metro had to slow down plans in the country in view of the strength of the venture. Auchan recently restructured its stake in the joint venture with Ruentex, leadinjo the acquisition of a majority stake in Sun Art Retail Group; Other examples of this cooperative strategy include Microsoft and General Electric's Caradim, aimed at helping health industry use online medical records to improve health services. Google and Motorola joined forces to satisfy Google's strategy to acquire patents and Motorola's efforts to compete with Apple's iPhone. Volkswagen Group and GM Motors have set up joint ventures with corporations in China, Mexico, Taiwan, Turkey, and India, among others. The objective was to establish manufacturing presence and distribution chains in the respective countries. Adapted from: Channon & Sammut-Bonnici. (2014!.Joint Ventures. Wiley Encyclopedia of Management: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Which of the following is the restatement of the sentence "Joint Ventures increase the profitability of an industry by reducing competition in markets where both firms are present" in paragraph 1? (A) Both firms gain profits by making Joint ventures. (B) Both firms gain profits by reducing competition. (C) Joint ventures maximize the profitability of firms included within the cooperation. (D) Joint ventures escalate the profitability of firms included within the cooperation by lessening the competition in markets. (E) Joint ventures diminish competition of the firms within the cooperation that share the same market; thus increasing their profits.
