Read the following text and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow from 61 to 65.

        A Vietnamese beach shop owner had tons of storm debris dumped into the sea, turning a local waste problem into open-water pollution.

        The scheme unraveled on the afternoon of March 1, when tourists visiting Hon Bo Cape in Thanh Hoa Province, a scenic rocky outcrop near But Pagoda, noticed vehicles moving waste along the shoreline and dumping it into the sea.

        A video of the incident surfaced on Facebook the next day and quickly went viral, drawing widespread public outrage. The footage showed mounds of debris piled at the water's edge at a beach that draws more than two million visitors a year.

        Thanh Hoa provincial police and Hoang Tien commune police determined that Truong Dinh Cuong, 38, who runs a beachfront beverage shop in the Hai Tien tourism area, had hired two men with homemade motorized carts to clear storm debris from his business premises ahead of the 2026 summer season.                               The two men, Pham Van Que, 39, and Truong Dinh Ha, 45, both of Hoang Tien Commune, each made about three trips to Hon Bo Cape, carrying roughly 600 kg per load. The total amount dumped was estimated at around 3.6 tons, mostly consisting of driftwood, tree stumps and rotting branches washed ashore during the 2025 storm season.

        Authorities said Cuong's plan was to let the high tide carry the waste away, avoiding the cost of transporting it to a proper disposal facility. The tide cooperated: by the time police inspected the site on the afternoon of March 2, every trace of the dumped material had been swept out to sea.

        What might have looked like a convenient solution on shore simply became marine pollution, with the waste now scattered across open water beyond any hope of recovery.

        Cuong admitted to the violation and pledged not to reoffend. All three men were summoned to the Hoang Tien commune police station, and authorities are completing procedures to formally process the case.                   

        The incident has touched a nerve in Thanh Hoa, where Hai Tien beach has rapidly grown into one of the province's most important tourism assets.
