1.Ans (b) The second paragraph clearly makes choice (b)
correct.
2.Ans (a) (a) is given in the opening lines of the fifth paragraph.
(b), (c) and (d) are imprecise interpretations.
3.Ans (c) Choices (b) and (d) are general observations. Choice
(c) is also explicitly stated in the 3rd line of the fourth
paragraph.
4.ns (d) Refer to the end of paragraph 2, where both the
problem and the concern have been addressed. (a),
(b) and (c) sound far-fetched in this regard.
5.Ans (a) (b), (c) and (d) are clearly given in paragraph 2.
'reduced biodiversity' suggests that (a) is the answer.
6.Ans (c) The essence of paragraph 1 is captured in (c).
Thus, (a), (b) and (d) are irrelevant.
7.Ans (d) (a), (b) and (c) are outlined in paragraph 3. Hence, (d)
is the answer.
8.Ans (b) Refer to the concluding sentence of paragraph 3 and
the opening sentence of paragraph 4 to mark (b) with
confidence. (a) and (c) are not the main concerns. (d)
is an obtuse observation with regard to our question.
9.Ans (d) All the reasons are cited in the first paragraph itself.
Choice (a) is mentioned in the 2nd line, (b) in the
second last line, (c) in the last line and (d) is not
mentioned. Instead mass media's impact is also stated
in the para. This makes choice (d) correct.
10.Ans (b) The opening lines of the final paragraph are represented
suitably in (b). (a), (c) and (d) are doubtful choices.
11.Ans (d) (a), (b) and (c) are stated vividly in the second
paragraph, hence (d) is the answer.
12.Ans (b) The author mentions this aspect in the third and fourth
last lines of the third para. This makes choice (b)
correct.
13.Ans (a) (a) has been described as revolutionary in the third
paragraph. (b), (c) and (d) are given in the fourth
paragraph as the conservative tendency.
14.Ans (c) The latter part of the fifth paragraph makes it clear that
(c) is the answer. (a), (b) and (d) are not mentioned.
15.Ans (a) (a) is stated in the opening lines of the fourth
paragraph. (b), (c) and (d) are thus peripheral
observations.
16.Ans (d) The first line of the seventh paragraph begins with
considering a "dual trap" and this till the fifth line tells
us about the details of the same. This makes choice
(d) correct.
17.Ans (b) Refer to the beginning of paragraph 2, paragraph 3
and paragraph 5 to get (b) as the answer.
18.Ans (c) Refer to the second sentence of paragraph 4 to mark
(c) as the answer.
19. a The third line of the sixth paragraph makes choice (a)
the answer.
20.Ans (c) The third sentence of the seventh paragraph makes
choice (c) the answer.
21.Ans (d) Refer to the last sentence of paragraph 6 to mark (d)
as the answer.
22.Ans (d) Russell Cowburn and Mark Welland are trying to build
the magnetic chip that can store and manipulate information.
Hence (d) is the answer.
23.Ans (b) The last lines of the eighth paragraph make choice (b)
correct.
24.Ans (a) Refer to the second sentence of paragraph 1 to mark
(a) as the answer. (b) is stated in the opening lines of
the passage. The opening lines of the sixth paragraph
confirm (c). The concluding lines of the fourth
paragraph confirm (d).
25.Ans (d) Choice (a) is incorrect because the author is not talking
about the failure otherwise he'd have looked at
reasons for the failure. Choice (b) is incorrect because
community perspectives are not presented, instead
technology's impact on the community is mentioned.
Choice (c) is incorrect because the negative effects
of both are present. Choice (d) is the best choice as
the author is providing an analogy.
26.Ans (b) (b) can be easily inferred from the latter half of the
passage. (a) and (c) are clearly not true. (d) does not
find support in the passage.
27.Ans (c) (c) is the obvious answer as can be amply inferred
from the last paragraph. (a), (b) and (d) are uncertain
choices.
28.Ans (d) The introduction of the bereavement counsellor in the
ninth paragraph points towards (d) as the answer.
29.Ans (a) (b), (c) and (d) can be immediately ruled out. The first
paragraph shows that (a) is the answer.
30.Ans (d) Refer to the fourth sentence in the sixth paragraph
and the concluding sentence of the passage to get
(a), (b) and (c) as valid choices.
31.Ans (a) (b) may be right. (c) and (d) are unlikely answers. (a)
is stated in the concluding sentence of the ninth
paragraph.
32.Ans (b) (a), (c) and (d) are stated overtly in the passage. (b)
is not true as the second innovation did not lead to the
migration of the community.
33.Ans (c) (c) is the best answer as can be derived from the
concluding lines of paragraph 7 and explained further
in detail in paragraph 8.
34.Ans (a) The answer is (a) as is explicitly given in paragraph 1.
35.Ans (d) Refer to the second paragraph third line 'preserves
from'. The best answer is thus (d).
36.Ans (c) The second sentence of the fifth paragraph makes it
clear that (c) is the best answer.
37.Ans (a) The opening lines of the last paragraph make it clear
that (a) is the answer.
38.Ans (b) (a), (c) and (d) can be inferred from paragraphs 7 and
8. But it is not mentioned that the conductor can modify
the music, hence (b) is the answer.
39. d Information presented in the last line of paragraph 6
makes choice (d) correct.
40.Ans (b) (d) is an observation, not the overall idea. (a) and (c)
are also observations. (b) best captures the central
idea of the passage as is evident from the latter half of
the passage.
41.Ans (b) B has to follow 1 as it exemplifies the principle
mentioned in 1. A continues the explanation of what
happens when light bounces off 2 surfaces. D explains
further and C6 gives the result.
42.Ans (d) B follows 1 as low light conditions are same as
darkened conditions. DCA discuss the experiment and
6 the happy result.
43.Ans (a) D follows 1 as 'this' in D is in reference to nation state
concept in 1. B follows D by explaining why that
concept is being criticized. A continues with other
reasons and C makes a further addition with "Even
worse....". (C-6) also forms a mandatory pair, thereby
making choice (a) correct.
44.Ans (c) C follows 1 as a logical continuation, the questionable
— suspicion link A logically follows C by comparing
position in humanities. B and D give reasons for
distortions in humanities. (D-6) is a mandatory pair
since 'D — mentions "Can be defended" and 6 mentions
...."... no such defences". This makes choice (c)
correct.
45.Ans (c) A gives the reason why communists despised horses
in 1. What they preferred instead is given in B.
C makes allowances and D6 presents the alternate
view.
46.Ans (b) Future is what the company also needs to keep in
mind when selling popular contemporary art. (a) and
(c) are wrong because we need not keep an eye on
the present, it's already here. Remember that we have
the word 'though' in the sentence and hence, the words
must contrast 'future-popular (now)'.
47.Ans (d) Choice (b) is ruled out since the government cannot
make money in this case. Choices (a) and (c) are
ruled out since they introduce 'rich' into the context. In
the scenario presented in the sentence, it's obvious
that (d) is the best choice since touts (middlemen who
are illegal/without proper authority). This makes (d)
correct.
48.Ans (a) Choice (c) is ruled out as 'make out' is a rather informal
usage. 'Let alone' means what will follow will be a
stronger/more concrete expression than
'reconciliation'. In this case, decide is a better opinion
than understand and choice (a) is correct.
49.Ans (c) 'Depressing times of spiraling prices' and 'soaring crime
rates' fits in best. (b) is out, because 'booming' and
'crime rates' don't go well together. 'spiralling' prices
are prices that rise out of order. Crime rates cannot
'debilitate', and 'soaring' matches the depressing tone
of 'spiralling'.
50.Ans (d) Choice (a) is ruled out as 'style' and 'manners' are
similar. Choice (c) is ruled out as nouveau riche means
'new rich'. 'Manners and Morals' is a phrase and goes
well. Choice (b) is incorrect as a 'recurrent story in
literature' is incorrect. A recurrent theme which means
many works which are similar in that they have this
theme makes sense. This makes choice (d) correct.
51.Ans (a) EC is the mandatory pair, as 'those' in C refers to male
children in E. B opens the paragraph as it introduces
'Bellicose spartans'. 'military training' in C is described
in D and A.
52.Ans (c) B opens the paragraph by introducing the motion of
'human being drawing images in cave'. C introduces
the new means of image making, i.e. photography.
The inventory in D refers to the images in C. 'everything
has been photographed' in D should be followed by
'insatiability' in A. 'confinement' in A is then followed by
'enlarge our notions' in E.
53.Ans (a) AE is a mandatory pair because 'breadth of information'
mentioned in E is in reference to 'basic information' in
A. 'extending over' in E should be followed by
'confined' in C as a contrast. B follows with 'nor' —
the same concept. D gives the 'contrary' view in B.
54.Ans (b) C introduces the paragraph with the concept of social
cost of theft. 'Both parties' in A refer to 'thief and
victim' in C. B describes simple property rights. DE
describes escalating costs and methods.
55.Ans (d) DB is a mandatory pair as B is an example of what is
being stated in D. A — 'likelihood of an accident' follows
B — 'accident'. C describes the outcome.
correct.

paragraph.

Thus, (a), (b) and (d) are irrelevant.
7.Ans (d) (a), (b) and (c) are outlined in paragraph 3. Hence, (d)
is the answer.
8.Ans (b) Refer to the concluding sentence of paragraph 3 and
