Number 10. 
This natural disaster is a form of mass wasting that includes a wide range of ground
movements, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows. It can
occur in underwater, called a submarine landslide, coastal and onshore environments.
Although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there
are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability. Typically, pre-
conditional factors build up specific sub-surface conditions that make the area/slope
prone to failure, whereas the actual landslip often requires a trigger before being
released. The phenomena should not be confused with mud flows, a form of mass
wasting involving very to extremely rapid flow of debris that has become partially or fully
liquefied by the addition of significant amounts of water to the source material.

Which picture goes with the monologue? 

Answer : A

Number 11. 
Lead glass, commonly called "crystal", is a variety of glass in which lead replaces the
calcium content of a typical potash glass. Lead glass contains typically 18–40 weight%
lead(II) oxide (PbO), while modern lead crystal, historically also known as flint glass due
to the original silica source, contains a minimum of 24% PbO. Lead glass is desirable
owing to its decorative properties. 

Originally discovered by Englishman George Ravenscroft in 1674, the technique of

adding lead oxide (in quantities of between 10 and 30%) improved the appearance of
the glass and made it easier to melt using sea-coal as a furnace fuel. This technique
also increased the "working period" making the glass easier to manipulate.

Answer : A

Questions 12 and 13 are based on the following monologueThe Financial Services

Authority (OJK) is considering providing a legal basis for Islamic real estate
investment trustees (REITs) in the third quarter of 2016, hoping that it will attract
more property investors, especially those from the Middle East.

third or fourth quarter this year," he told thejakartapost.com in Jakarta on Wednesday.

King Dan – the legend of Denmark 

The story is told that, in olden days, there were three brothers: Dan, Nor and Østen.
They were the sons of King Ypper, who lived in Uppsala in Sweden, which was named
for him. 

The brothers went their separate ways, settling each in a different country. Dan went to
Denmark, Nor to Norway, and Østen stayed in Sweden, in the countries to the East. 

At that time, the realm of Denmark did not yet exist. Dan ruled only over the island of
Zealand and the lesser isles. Jutland, Funen and Scania were each separate kingdoms.
The Jutes were, at that time, at war with the German king. They built up earthworks and
a palisade along their southern border, in that place where Queen Thyra later caused
Dannevirke to be built. They named this wall Kovirke. But, when the German king came
with a mighty host, they sent messengers to King Dan asking for his help. 

Dan went to war with the Germans, and a great battle was fought before the wall. Most
of the enemy fell, “biting the grass”, as the saying goes, and the rest fled. When the
Jutes saw how brave King Dan was, they led him to their thing-place, and placed him
upon a great stone, proclaiming him their king. This stone was since called Daneryge
(ryge being a Jutish word for “large stone”), and it was there, later, that Danish kings
were acclaimed. Daneryge was to be found on the thing- place outside Viborg, and the
entire place has also been called Danerlyngen. 

When the people of Funen and Scania heard of this, they also elected Dan their king.
Dan now summoned the best men in all the realm, and he said to them: “This land is fair
and fertile, yet it has one flaw: it lacks for a name.”
They answered him: “You are Dan, and therefore the realm shall be called Danmark,
and this name  shall last for so long as the world lasts.” 

King Dan built himself a royal palace at Lejre near Roskilde Fjord. He was called Dan
the Grand or the Mighty, because no man before him had had such a great domain.
After his death, the Danes built a barrow. They placed him in the tomb chamber fully
armed and arrayed for war, mounted on his horse. 

32. Based on the text, which kingdoms were acclaimed under King Dan? 
A. Jutland, Funen, Scania, Lejre 
B. Zealand, Jutland, Funen, Scania 
C. Kovirke, Norway, Sweden, Jutes

The most traditional American food may well be cornmeal. Cornmeal, as we know it
today, began as a Native American staple. The native Americans grew corn of six
different colors- black, red, white, yellow, blue, and multicolored. They ground the corn
kernels into cornmeal and mixed it with salt and water, then baked it. This recipe was
introduced to the early colonists, who experimented with it and developed their own
uses for cornmeal. Succotash (a meat stew with cornmeal added) and mush (leftover
cornmeal porridge cut and fried) are two meals invented by early colonists. 

Visitors can travel to the South and enjoy spoon bread, a smooth puddinglike dish, or to
New England for johnnycakes, kind of flat pancake. But probably the most common
forms of cornmeal nationwide are corn wide, cornbread, cornmeal muffins, and the
“hush puppy”- a ball of cornmeal batter that is fried in oil.
