61. You visit your grandma, who recently received 63. You are a project manager leading a team
a new smartphone as a gift. However, you
notice that staring at the phone screen with
confusion, she tries to navigate through the
apps but seems to struggle with even the most
basic functions. She tells you that she is too
old to use that device, with sadness in her
voice. You want to encourage her and give an
idea. So you say: ----
A) Why don’t you try using the phone as a
doorstop instead? It’ll be more useful.
B) I guess you should look into getting one of
those big-buttoned, easy-to-use models.
C) Come on, it’s not rocket science! Just tap
around randomly until something happens.
D) Maybe smartphones just aren’t your thing.
Have you considered going back to using a
landline phone?
E) How about we start with something simple,
like making a phone call or sending a text
message?

university, welcoming your students on the

A) University education can be the key to
unlocking the golden door of freedom from

tasked with designing a new educational
platform for teaching coding to children. During
a brainstorming session, one suggests creating
video tutorials for coding lessons. However,
you disagree, offering that interactive activities
that avoid one-way communication would
provide a more engaging and effective learning
experience. So you say: ----
A) I don’t think learning via videos will be effective
for kids. We should create downloadable
resources.
B) I think we can produce podcasts because they
are more convenient for children to listen to on
the go.
C) I’m not in favour of teaching through videos.
Exercises that actively involve kids will be more
appealing and enhance learning.
D) Children will struggle with video lessons. Let’s
prioritise written activities since they are easier
for children to follow.
E) I disagree with the idea of using interactive
exercises, as they can be distractive. Brief
videos will be much better.
Space Station (ISS) and are observing the vast
expanse of space through the window of your

catches your eye outside the ISS. It could be
a piece of space debris or something more
fascinating. You decide to report this to ground
control. So you say: ----
A) There’s a strange object outside; should I go
out and try to capture it to study its origin?
B) Shall we inform other agencies since this
unidentified object may be a new planet?
C) It might pose a potential threat to the ISS, so
should I ignore the unidentified object?
D) I have spotted an unidentified object outside
the ISS. Should we investigate it further?
E) I hope it goes away on its own, but should I
take any action for the safety of the crew?
