Reading Comprehension

Singapore had been targeted by Planned Parenthood in ‘60s and ‘70s for a radical population cutback despite an already low fertility rate. This is because Planned Parenthood knew it was a highly controlled society and could be manipulated as a test case quite easily if their dogmas of fear of life and fertility were adopted. The organization found a willing accomplice in the Harvard-educated Lee Kuan Yew, the prime minister of the time. Yew thought he was doing his country a favor by saving them from so many babies. His sterilization, birth control and abortion programs did nothing but hasten the demographic crisis they now have, but thankfully the government had enough sense and recognized their mistake. -Euteneuer, T.

Reading Comprehension

UNDERSTANDING PARAGRAPH COMPLETION CONTEXT CLUES INFERRING, IMPLYING, PREDICTING There was a journey I’ve undertaken, a careful plan, an accidental trek across hills and valleys. I’ve meandered through a wonderland of triumphs and tears led mostly by the great me. I did not always do well as the navigator of my own design. At each fork, I listened to mostly me and lost purpose quickly on many of those colorful and treacherous avenues. More often, I would resurface bloody and broken. Yet... I threw the crutches, determined to find my way again. There are smoother lines today. Stripes earned, edges honed by an inner voice that guides me through. His name is Jesus. I am willing now, to go where the winds bend the road. -Salterio, Leah. Philippine Daily Inquirer

In the first paragraph, the word “fork” means

A. A meeting C. An obstacle

B. A dilemma D. A cutlery
