II. Situation Analysis. Read carefully the passage and supply the answers of the questions that follow. Write your
answer in the space provided.
From a young age, Shandot Beto was known throughout Jupiter as an artist of great talent. Art was
his life, when he was just past middle age and still at the height of his artistic powers, a military coup
occurred on the planet. The new emperor soon proved himself to be a ruthless dictator. He had plans to take
over the entire galaxy by the year.
As part of his vision for Jupiter, the emperor tore down hundreds of structures and had them rebuilt
at great expense to celebrate himself. These palaces were to be filled with beautiful frescoes and murals.
The emperor invited three of the greatest artists on the planet to discuss the planned artwork with him. He
would then choose the artists and the plans he liked best. Of course, Beto was one of the invited artists. He
hated the new emperor and all that he represented. But the buildings were to be beautiful and extraordinary.
Beto struggled with his conscience but, in the end, he submitted a proposal and was selected to paint the
palaces. Beto soothed his qualms with the thought that, after all, he was an artist. What were interplanetary
politics to him? When both he and this dictator were dead and gone, Beto’s art in these magnificent
structures would remain, exquisite and immortal.
He began work on the frescoes immediately. His brain teemed with ideas and he threw himself into
the work. But every day, the emperor or one of his people was there, watching Beto work and redirecting
him. “Not like that,” they would say. “Like this.” When Beto complained of the interference, the emperor’s
eyes narrowed. “You work for me,” he reminded the artist. “You paint what I want.” Slowly, Beto’s vision
for the frescoes and murals began to be corrupted. He was unable to proceed as he wished. The emperor
and his courtiers had no artistic talent but he could not ignore their demands. In the end, the frescoes were
lackluster and lifeless, the murals uninspired. The emperor, however, was smug with delight. He thought the
art was glorious, and he congratulated Beto. From that time on, Beto became the emperor’s pet artist,
painting slick court portraits and other works as required by the emperor. In galactic year 6012, when the
emperor and the artist were long dead, Beto’s early artwork was discovered and revered, though the man
himself was always spoken of as one who had willingly collaborated with a tyrant. His later works were
found to have no merit at all.

IV. Identify the RHYME SCHEME of the given poem below. Write your answer after each line of the poem.
The Trees
Philip Larkin
The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief.

Is it that they are born again

And we grow old? No, they die too,
Their yearly trick of looking new
Is written down in rings of grain.

Yet still the unresting castles thresh

In fullgrown thickness every May.
Last year is dead, they seem to say,
Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

“ Make your parents proud. Good luck and God bless!”
