1555 . Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow Capitalism is developed in the European countries as a result of their 'laissez-faire' policy. The idea of global trade which was inherent in capitalism has now become universalized. Taking advantage of the idea of globalization, capitalism seems to be on a triumphant march.

In the name of assistance and cooperation, the industrially developed capitalist countries are exploiting the cheap labor available in poorer countries. The global strategy of development promises greater employment opportunities to the people of poor countries but at the same time it also promises high returns to capital. This actually paves the way for lasting poverty which enables the capitalists to continue to have a pool of cheap labor to draw from. The passage suggests that capitalism
  • A. is creating more opportunities for developing countries
  • B. promises prosperity to poor countries
  • C. ensures equal trade among nations

1558 . Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow: While many theories have been proposed about the function of dreams, no consensus has emerged. Considering the time we spend in a dreaming state, the fact that researches do not yet understand the purpose of dreams may seem baffling. However, it is important to consider that science is still unravelling the exact purpose and function of sleep itself. Some researchers suggest that dreams serve no real purpose, while others believe that dreaming is essential to mental, emotional and physical well-being. Some researchers suggest that dreams are a subjective interpretation of signals generated by the brain during sleep. Dreamers are not meaningless. Instead, during dreams the cognitive elements in our brain produce new ideas. One theory suggests that dreams are the result of our brains trying to interpret external stimuli during sleep. For example, the sound of the radio may be incorporated into the content of a dream.    The passage mentions a theory of dream that suggests that when we sleep, we receive stimuli from
  • A. our memory
  • B. our desire
  • C. sources inside our body
  • D. sources that lie outside of the body.
