Adolescent rebellion is commonplace, and a lot of research has been done into its causes.
Biologically, adolescents have their prefrontal cortex, part of the human brain, put into
practice. This results in teenagers’ arguing and testing boundaries. In other words,
adolescents make their own decisions and mistakes to develop the prefrontal cortex fully.
Besides, hormonal changes may urge them to misbehave or become more impulsive. In
view of this, a son’s rebellion may be against his own wishes. On top of that, adolescents
want more independence, which is often confused with rebellion. They also want to be in
control of their own lives, making their own decisions. The more forceful a parent is, the
more counterproductive it is now. Similarly, adolescents seek acceptance and attention.
They want to fit in with their friends and want others to take notice of them as
well. Meanwhile, parents tend to be too worried and make things even worse, let alone see
their teenage children through this hard time.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge of interest in alternative living as
people seek more sustainable and fulfilling ways to exist. With the growing awareness of
environmental issues and a desire for greater autonomy, individuals and communities are
re-evaluating traditional norms and embracing innovative approaches to housing, food
production, and energy consumption. This paradigm shift towards alternative living has
captured the attention of a diverse range of people, from urban dwellers to rural
enthusiasts, all united in their pursuit of a more harmonious and eco-conscious lifestyle.
One of the key pillars of alternative living is the concept of eco-friendly housing.
Traditional homes are giving way to eco-friendly structures that utilise renewable
materials, energy-efficient designs, and even off-grid capabilities. Tiny houses, for
instance, have gained immense popularity due to their minimalistic nature, affordability,
and reduced environmental footprint. These compact dwellings provide a sense of
freedom, enabling individuals to live with less clutter and prioritise experiences over possessions.
Another significant aspect of alternative living is sustainable food production.
Community gardens, urban farming, and rooftop gardens are becoming increasingly
prevalent in cities, allowing individuals to reconnect with nature, grow their own organic
produce, and reduce their reliance on industrially produced food. Additionally, alternative
agricultural practices such as permaculture and aquaponics are gaining traction, promoting
biodiversity, resource conservation, and regenerative farming techniques.
Energy independence is also a central theme in the realm of alternative living. Solar
panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy sources are empowering individuals to
generate their own clean energy and reduce their carbon footprint. Furthermore,
innovative technologies like energy storage systems and smart grids are facilitating the
efficient utilisation of energy, enabling individuals to optimise their consumption and minimise waste.
The rise of alternative living has sparked a sense of community and collaboration
among like-minded individuals. Eco-villages and intentional communities are emerging as
havens for those seeking a shared vision of sustainable living. These close-knit
communities foster collaboration, resource sharing, and the exchange of ideas, creating a
supportive environment for individuals to thrive.
