Accepted Answer

Here are the answers to your questions:

29. B. high-school students
The writer mentions that the advice "Follow your passion" is often given to people at the readers&#x27; stage of life, and that they are about to go on to higher education, indicating that the readers are likely high-school students.

30. A. Gives one advantage and one disadvantage (not explicitly, but paragraph 2 can be interpreted as giving one advantage and multiple potential downsides to "Following your passion" in later paragraphs, but the primary advantage is described here, in this paragraph)
The writer describes one main advantage of following your passion: if you love what you do, work won&#x27;t feel like work.

31. B. Four
There are four phrasal verbs in paragraph 3: "come up with," "miss out on," "give up," and "make up."

32. A. Most jobs are boring.
This point is not made by the writer in paragraph 3. The writer does mention that even interesting jobs have times when you have to keep doing something even though it&#x27;s hard or boring.

33. B. [2]
This sentence could fit in after the writer describes how people who follow their passions tend to be more motivated and happier.
