Passage I: If you want transition from being an employee to an employer, the first step is to serve your current employer as you would wish to be served. Most successful employers today have risen through the ranks, relying on their ability to manage and direct others effectively by suppressing the vices of employers. They started with no more opportunities than you have now. There are people in your community who could benefit from your skills and vice versa. For example, Mr. John Smith wants to sell his grocery store and start a movie theater, while someone else with a movie theater might want to trade for a grocery store. If you can connect these two individuals, you will serve both and earn a commission in the process. (Source: Hill, N. (2005). The law of success.)
The main intent of the writer in the text is to imply that __________.
A. most successful employers are those who have achieved their dreams through trade-off.
B. there are steps that one needs to undergo in the transition from employee to employer.
C. the transition from employee to employer does not require much effort except having the interest.
D. smooth transition from being an employer to employee is more of a matter of destiny than hard work.

Passage II: What is the matter with our reading is casualness, languor, preoccupation. We don't give the book a chance. We don't put ourselves at the disposal of the book. It is impossible to read properly without using all one's engine power. If we are not tired after reading, common sense is not in us. How one should grapple with a superior and not be out of breath? But even if we read with the whole force of our brain, and do nothing else, common sense is still not in us, while sublime conceit is. For we are assuming that, without further trouble, we can possess, co-ordinate, and assimilate all the ideas and sensations rapidly offered to us by a mind greater than our own. The assumption has only to be stated in order to appear in its monstrous absurdity. Hence, it follows that something remains to be done. This something is the act of reflection. Reading without subsequent reflection is ridiculous; it is equally a proof of folly and vanity. (Source: Warriner, J. E. et al, 1958.)
What is described as an absurd assumption about reading according to the passage?
A. Ideas can be instantly absorbed and organized.
B. Superior minds are easy to understand.
C. Reading does not require physical effort.
D. All books are equally valuable.
