____49. In the text below, what do you think is the message of the writer?

Why You Should Not Smoke

I am sure that you know that smoking harms your body. Then why do you continue smoking? Maybe you do it because
you haven’t really become conscious about all the effects that smoking has. There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t
smoke. Some of them are that smoking affects your health, that you spend a lot of money on cigarettes, and that when
you smoke you are not respecting people around you. The first reason why you shouldn’t smoke is that smoking affects
your health. If you smoke, your physical condition will be negatively affected, so it will be very difficult for you to
succeed in sports. Also, smoking produces lethal diseases like cancer and reduces the length and quality of your life.
Maybe you don’t notice all the physical effects of smoking immediately, but you surely will be sorry one day. The
second reason why you shouldn’t smoke is because of all the money that you spend on it. Maybe you start smoking only
when someone offers you a cigarette, but there will be a day when you will feel the need of a cigarette. By this time, you
will pay whatever to smoke, and each time you will smoke more, so you will spend more money. All the money you
would spend on cigars could have be spent in something better, don’t you think? The last reason why you shouldn’t
smoke is out of respect for the people around you. When you smoke, you not only harm yourself, but you also harm all
the people around you. So you mustn’t be selfish; you should at least avoid smoking in front of people who don’t smoke.
Also, many people don’t like the cigarette’s smell, so they won’t enjoy your company. Would you like that? I have said
just some reasons of why you shouldn’t smoke, so I hope that now those of you who smoke are able to think a little and
try to make a smart decision. In addition to all the reasons I’ve said, I would like you to think about how much you love
yourself and then whether you want to continue harming yourself. Think also about all the people who love you, like
your family who doesn’t want to see you suffering or sick. If you decide to continue smoking, what a pity. But if you
decide to stop smoking, congratulations! Remember that "If you can dream it, you can do it."

A. The writer is telling us the good effects of smoking.

B. The writer is convincing us not to smoke because it affects not only our life but also the people around us.
C. The writer is convincing us not to smoke to avoid expenses.
D. The writer is convincing us that smoking good for our health because it has benefits to our health.
____50. If you were to connect the following sentences using a subordinating conjunction, what would be the complex
sentence?
a. I prefer to watch TV by streaming over the internet.
b. It allows me to watch what I want and when I want to watch.

A. I prefer to watch TV by streaming over the internet because it allows me to watch what I want and when I
want to watch.
B. I prefer to watch TV by streaming over the internet although it allows me to watch what I want and when I
want to watch.
C. I prefer to watch TV by streaming over the internet yet it allows me to watch what I want and when I
