of these earlier barriers, permitted a very considerable progress in the modernization of Russian
Society.
Footer: And the first really promising program for the modernization of Russian agriculture (the

good chances for ultimate success.

computing, wired classrooms, low-cost hardware, and software - and estimated the K-12
education market to be worth over $2.2 trillion.

promote and invest, take software development and computational products
as the model for the future practices of education.

Arrange the sentences numbered 1 to 4 between the header and the footer to form a coherent paragraph. Key in the correct sequence of these 4 numbers.
Header: Archaeology is concerned with understanding societies that existed in the past.
1. We can use the techniques of archaeology to uncover the skeletal remains of our ancestors
from the distant past.
2. Archaeologists excavate or survey the remains of societies that existed many thousands of
years ago or the remains of societies from recent times.
3. As Louis Leakey showed us, our early human ancestors probably hunted and foraged for
food on the continent of Africa long before North and South America or Australia were inhabited
by people.
4. The exciting findings of human paleontology (the study of fossils) have pushed back our
ancestry as tool-using humans who walked on two legs to several million years ago.
Footer: Although we have learned a great deal about our ancestors within the last few decades,

Arrange the sentences numbered 1 to 4 between the header and the footer to form a coherent paragraph. Key in the correct sequence of these 4 numbers.
Header: Once upon a time, $3 billion was the magic number that brought the full sequencing of
a human genome to life.
1. From there, chemicals are applied to the sample in order to break open the cell membranes
and gather the DNA housed inside of them.
2. Less than a teaspoon of blood or saliva samples are collected from the patient.
3. Genomic sequencing reveals the secrets our genes keep from us. So how is this actually
done?
4. Today, it has decreased to just a few thousand dollars and continues to become more
cost-effective.
Footer: Sophisticated machines analyze these sequences for about 2-3 months to find what
essentially the errors are across the 20,000 genes we all possess.

Arrange the sentences numbered 1 to 4 between the header and the footer to form a coherent paragraph. Key in the correct sequence of these 4 numbers.
Header: Our lack of awareness about the capacity, and potential of human consciousness and
its role in our evolutionary development, has brought humanity to a critical threshold.
1. Our inability or unwillingness to bring conscious spirituality to the forefront of our lives has
fostered a collective state of passivity and even apathy.
2. A revolution in human consciousness is now required in order to break the spell of our
ignorance.
3. Now that we have the capacity to engage with spiritual impulses,environmental impacts are
being supplied that have the potential to catalyze in us new patterns of consciousness, with

4. Such new energies may also assist in opening up transcendental patterns of thought that
would bring humanity into a more direct relationship with intelligent cosmic forces, thus breaking
the collective coma of our cosmic isolationism.
Footer : It is possible that a new state of quantum consciousness will allow humanity access to an unimaginable energetic field of information which would open up new vistas of creative intelligence that are hitherto closed to us.

The following question has a paragraph from which a sentence has been left out. From the given options, choose the one that completes the blank in the paragraph in the most
appropriate way. Enter the number alongside the correct answer choice in
the input box given below the question.
Societies differ greatly in their scale and complexity. India has a population of around
1,343,677,902 divided by language, religion, region, sect, caste,tribe, wealth, occupation,
education and income. It is also a nation state with a formal legal and administrative structure
designed to maintain some measure of unity without doing violence to the distinctive lifestyles
cherished by its major religious and cultural groups. Indians believe, rightly or wrongly, that the
tolerance of diversity is a core value, within the Indian tradition.
______________________________________
1. This in turn has paved the way for the growth of religious tolerance.
2. But an effective administrative system is required to keep this in check.
3. This tolerance has laid the foundation for the growth of democracy.
4. This tolerance has contributed a great deal to the growth of a pluralist democracy.
5. Religious intolerance still proves to be a major hurdle in the process of attainment of a

The following question has a paragraph from which a sentence has been left out. From the given options, choose the one that completes the blank in the paragraph in the most
appropriate way. Enter the number alongside the correct answer choice in
the input box given below the question.
Now that the genetic blueprint of man and the virus is known, it is likely that a satisfactory
treatment and prevention will be the fruit of genetic researches. Though gene therapy is in its
infancy, it holds promise for many incurable diseases including AIDS. Introduction of protein that
inhibits the viral life cycle, expression of protein that prevents the virus attacking the cells of the
immune system and ribozyme engineering to destroy the viral genome are some of the methods
under consideration. In July 2002, a human gene that protects the body from HIV infection was
identified by a team of Anglo- American scientists. The gene is named CEM 15 and confers
natural resistance to HIV infection. This gene is knocked off by a small protein in the virus called
'virion infectivity factor' (VIF).
_________________________________________
1. This failure reflects the inefficiency of gene therapy when diseases like AIDS are in question.
2. This would mean that those whose genetic makeup includes this gene have only a marginally
better chance than others, in the fight against AIDS.
3. Hence the knowledge of the structure of the virus is necessary for further investigation.
4. This does not mean, however, that hope is lost.
5. If a drug can be designed to neutralize the VIF, it would allow CEM 15 to work normally and
prevent the HIV infection.
