Explanation Enumeration Time Order or Sequence Classification

_________________8. Conjunctions connect words, phrases and ideas. Most common conjunctions are
and, but, and or. Conjunctions and and or are used to connect two related ideas. But is used to connect two
different or opposite ideas.

_________________9. Volcanoes have positive effects, strange as it seem. Materials erupted from
volcanoes can be useful to people in several ways. Volcanic ash, after a period of time makes the soil more
fertile. Workers use solidified lava in paving roads and constructing houses and other buildings. More
building materials come from other sources, however. Pumice, a porous and lightweight volcanic rock is
used in industries to grind and polish stones and metals of various kinds. Volcanoes also help in predicting
future eruptions.
_________________10. The world has fresh water because of water cycle. When the water is heated, it
evaporates. Next, the water rises to form clouds. Then the wind carries the clouds and when it reached a
cold layer, water droplets are formed. Finally, rain falls back to the land and the cycle is repeated over and
over again.
_________________11. Cars, jeeps, buses and other vehicles eject poisonous gasescarbon monoxide,
lead and carbon dioxide. These make the air polluted and affect man’s health, water, land, food, air and
animals.

_________________12. Emmanuel was a boy of contentment- in what he had and did. First, he never
asked his parents to provide him the things and comfort like what his classmates. He believed that
blessings come in varied ways. Most importantly, Emmanuel found his studies to be a venue of challenge
where he could concentrate his time and effort in order to excel.
_________________13. Heat deep in the core of the Earth continually escapes toward the surface. As the
heat rises, it warms rock, which begins to rise slowly. This molten rock, or magma, usually cools within.
Sometimes, however, magma continues to push upward. It absorbs water in the ground and heats it to
produce steam or gas. Gas-filled magma is lighter and can rise through a series of channels toward the
surface. When it reaches a vent or opening in the surface, it spews out. Magma that erupts from a vent is
called lava, reaching temperatures of more than 1000 degrees centigrade. When cooled the lava and other
materials such as ash and rocks, build up to form the cone of a volcano.
_________________14. The Earth’s surface is constantly changing through slow processes that we don’t
usually see. One is erosion. This has worn away rocks and mountains over millions of years, caused by air,
water and wind. Another change is caused by earthquakes that originate deep inside the planet. More
sudden and violent than erosion, an earthquake results when strains between Earth’s plates produce shock
waves. And, the third process results when molten rock-forming material called lava, escapes onto the
surface through gaps in the crust. What we experience is volcanic eruption.
_________________15. Elephants are mammals that are distinguished by their large or massive size and
long trunk which is used for breathing, smelling, touching, feeding, drinking, lifting heavy objects, and
trumpeting. They are equally remarkable for their tusks which are extremely long teeth that keep growing
during the elephant’s life. Their tusks are made of ivory for which elephants have always been hunted.
Adult elephants have little hair on their neck, wrinkled skin; but their tails are tipped with wiry hair, and their
eyelashes can be over five (5) inches long. Elephants are great eaters, consuming up to 225 kilos of
leaves, bark, fruit, and grasses a day, and up to 40 gallons of water. Elephants have been a great help to
people for at least 5,000 years because of their size and strength.

C. Summarize the story using 5Wh-questions. (16-20)

The Ant and the Dove

One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some
time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass.
While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the water.

She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her.

Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it
into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up
there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground. Just at that time, a hunter nearby was
throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it.
D. Directions: Summarize the story using 5Wh-questions (20-25)

Once upon a time, there lived two cats near a village. They were close friends. They played, slept and went
everywhere together.

Suddenly, one day there was no food for both of them. The two cats went for the search of food, they found
a loaf of bread. They began to fight over it. One cat said, "I found it first its mine." Another cat said, "No I found it
first, give it to me."

A monkey in the tree seeing them fighting said, 'It will be great if I get that bread. It looks yummy.". He came
to the cats and said, "Friends why are you quarreling? I will settle your fight". Both the cats agreed to his proposal.

The Monkey split the bread into two uneven pieces. One-piece was large and the other piece was small.
Then, he ate a portion from the larger piece. But this made the other piece larger. So, it took a bite from the other
piece. likewise, the monkey ate the whole loaf of bread. It climbed back the tree laughing at the cats.
