The American people have an incorrect understanding of what it means to be at war. At least so argues
T.H. Pickett in his conservative interpretation of American military history.
Pickett does present a wealth of examples along with a refreshing candid argument that America often
goes to war for an abstract ideal such as the democratization of societies, would peace, liberty, or
freedom. For instance, the Spanish – American War of 1898 was ostensibly a consequence of national
enthusiasm for the cause of Cuban liberty. And, more obviously, America’s entry into World War I
stemmed from a desire to “make the world safe for democracy.”
Although these observations are supportable, Pickett overstates the cause typically lead to a war hysteria
in which American leadership can no longer enforce any measured policies.
Ques 1. Which of the following best states the author’s main point?
[A].​ Pickett provides a cogent rationale for why America engages in warfare; however, he draws
conclusions that the author does not fully support.
[B]. ​Pickett’s study is valuable primarily because it provides a thorough understanding of the causes of
American warfare.
[C]. ​The rationale for American warfare is well documented.
[D]. ​Pickett’s analysis of American military history provides the definitive historical record of the period
from the Spanish-American War to World War I.

For many years, most physicists supported one of two cosmological theories: the steady-state universe, ,
and the Big Bang. The theory of the steady-state universe states that the universe has always existed
exactly as we observe it at present, whereas the Big Bang theory postulates that the universe was
conceived from a singularity in space-time that has expanded into current universe. The validity of either
theory was not tested until 19 when Edwin Hubble famously discovered what is now known as Hubble’s
[Link]’s experiment is now a famous benchmark in modern physics. Hubble, using the Mount Wilson
Observatory, observed a class of stars known as Cepheid variables, luminous stars that blink and flicker
with a rate that depends on their distance from the observer.
Using this relation and years of observing, Hubble calculated the distance to many of these variable stars.
Milton Humason, a fellow astronomer, helped Hubble to calculate the stars’ relative velocities to Earth.
When Hubble combined the two data sets he found an interesting relationship: all the stars appeared to be
moving away from us! In fact, the speed at which they were moving increased with an increasing distance
from [Link] realized, from this small set of data, that the earth was a part of the expanding
universe.
As the universe expands outward in all directions, any observer from a fixed vantage point will look out
and see everything running away from them. The further away any two points are, the more the expansion
affects them, and the faster they appear to be moving away from each other. Hubble’s result was the first
experimental proof that we do not live in a steady-state universe, but rather a dynamic and expanding one.
Q: Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
[A].​ Edwin Hubble discovered Hubble’s Law, a benchmark in modern physics.
[B].​ Before 1929, most physicists supported one of two theories of the universe.
[C].​ Hubble discovered that the universe is expanding, disproving the theory of the steady-state universe.
[D].​ Modern physics would not have progressed without Hubble’s discovery of the expanding universe.

Grossly misunderstood and represented as a revolutionary, liberal, Romantic, and bohemian artist,
Rembrandt has lived for over 400 years now through his art. During this time period, many views and
opinions have oscillated from praise to scathing remarks and vice versa.
The extent of Rembrandt’s fame can be understood by the following incident: in the year 1670, the Sicilian
collector Antonio Ruffo received a letter from the artist Abraham Breughel with a request to get some
original masterpieces from Italy. Ruffo had to apologize stating that no painter had been able to exhibit an
ability to paint as extraordinary as Rembrandt, who had already died by then.
Q. Which of the following, most accurately summarizes the opinion of the author in the text?
[A].​ He tried to prove that Rembrandt has not been completely understood by the critics.
[B].​ the effect of unemployment on United States families.
[C].​ He tried to portray that even though Rembrandt was highly regarded in the art world, his prowess and
mettle was understood by only a few.
[D].​ Rembrandt never believed in self-praise and publicizing, rather he was a silent artist.

Theories are divided about the cause of the Permian mass extinctions. Some hypothesize that the impact
of a massive asteroid caused a sudden disappearance of species. However, a look at the carbon –
isotope record suggests that existing plant communities were struck down and re-found several times. To
produce such a pattern would require a succession of asteroid strikes thousands of years apart. Other
theorists have proposed that volcanic explosions raised the Corban dioxide level leading to intense global
warming. One problem with this theory is that it cannot explain the massive marine extinctions at the end
of the Permian period. A new theory posits that rising concentrations of toxic hydrogen sulphide in the
world’s oceans plus gradual oxygen depletion in the surface waters caused the extinctions in the surface
waters caused the extinctions. Fortunately, this theory is testable. If true, oceanic sediments from the
Permian period would yield chemical evidence of a rise in hydrogen sulphide – consuming bacteria.

Q. The primary purpose of the passage is to


[A].​ present several hypotheses concerning the cause of the Permian mass extinctions
[B]. ​discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the asteroid hypothesis of the Permian mass extinctions
[C]. ​propose that theories regarding the cause of the Permian mass extinctions be tested.
[D].​ argue that Permian mass extinctions could not have been caused by a volcanic explosion.

Forces other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes. Sometimes, as the writhing, twisting
funnel passes over a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. This
explosion is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado.
The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. However, inside the house,
the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. The difference of 2 pounds per square inch
between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado funnel passes
over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feet. On each square inch of the building, there is 2
pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. On the
ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57, 600 pounds. The pressure on the four walls adds
up to 172,800 pounds.
If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. This will balance the
pressure inside and outside the building. But if the windows are shut tightly, the enormous inside pressure
may cause the building to burst.
Unfortunately, heavy rain and hail often occur in thunderstorms that later produce tornadoes. So people
frequently shut all windows to protect their property. This may cause far worse damage later. For the same
reason, tornado cellars must have an air vent. Otherwise, the cellar door might be blown out when a
tornado passes over it.
Q: Which of the following statements can be supported by the information given in the passage?
[A].​ The difference per square inch between the air pressure inside a building and the air pressure inside
a tornado is of 2 pounds.
[B].​ According to passage, Tornadoes can destroy building because the air pressure inside the tornado is
less than the air pressure inside the building
[C].​ The pressure on a building during a tornado can be relieved by closing the cellar.
[D].​ The passage talks about as how tornadoes can be prevented.

Exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Neither surgery nor a hearing aid can
help correct this type of hearing loss. Short-term exposure to loud noise can also cause a temporary
change in hearing (your ears may feel stuffed up) or a ringing in your ears (tinnitus). These short-term
problems may go away within a few minutes or hours after leaving the noise. However, repeated
exposures to loud noise can lead to permanent tinnitus and/or hearing loss.
Loud noise can create physical and psychological stress, reduce productivity, interfere with
communication and concentration, and contribute to workplace accidents and injuries by making it difficult
to hear warning signals. The effects of noise-induced hearing loss can be profound, limiting your ability to
hear high-frequency sounds, understand speech, and seriously impairing your ability to communicate.
When sound waves enter the outer ear, the vibrations impact the ear drum and are transmitted to the
middle and inner ear. In the middle ear, three small bones called the malleus (or hammer), the incus (or
anvil), and the stapes (or stirrup) amplify and transmit the vibrations
generated by the sound to the inner ear. The inner ear contains a snail-like structure called Cochlea which
is filled with fluid and lined with cells with very fine hairs. These microscopic hairs move with the vibrations
and convert the sound waves into nerve impulses–the result is the sounds we hear. Exposure to loud
noise can destroy these hair cells and cause hearing loss!
Q: Which of the following statements about health can be supported by the text?
[A].​ Even after long exposure, the sound is unlikely to cause hearing loss.
[B]. ​The cochlea is responsible for the transfer of sound waves into nerve impulses.
[C].​ Exposure to noise at work can harm worker’s health.
[D].​ Three small bones of outer ear – malleus, incus, and stapes are attached like a chain to the tympanic
membrane and convert sound waves.

Using infant mortality as a key indicator of the status of children, we now begin to have the broad features
of a hypothesis as to the causes of higher or lower mortality rates. One aspect is the complex of factors
involving the access of mothers to trained personnel and other facilities for child delivery, the nutritional
status of pregnant and nursing mothers and the quality of health care and nourishment which babies
receive.
The other aspect, indicated by rural-urban differentials, is the possible importance of human settlement
patterns in relation to the availability of health care and related facilities such as potable water, excreta
disposal systems, etc. Thus, in a special sense, it is much cheaper to make health and other basic
services available to a community when it is densely settled rather than widely dispersed. It is possible to
argue, however, that both these sets of factors are closely related to a third one, namely, income levels.
Poorer mothers and babies have less access to health-care facilities and nourishment than those who are
better off; urban communities are on an average much better off than rural communities.
That economic condition plays a crucial role in determining the status of both mother and child, is beyond
dispute. But the question really is whether this is the only decisive factor or whether factors such as the
availability of medical facilities, healthcare programs, and nutritional programs have an independent role. If
so then the settlement patterns which affect service delivery to the mother and child target groups become
a relevant consideration. These are clearly issues of some importance for policy and program planning.
Q: Which among the following statements are correct?
[A].​ It is easy and economical to provide health care facilities in dense settlements.
[B]. ​The fact that income has an important role to play in health care is arguable.
[C]. ​A densely settled community has to be supplied with health and basic services after bearing a large
cost.
[D]. ​Mothers from well to do families can provide better care and facilities to their babies.
[E]. ​The settlement conditions, income levels, and health facilities are the only influencing factors behind
the varying mortality rates.

Until the mid-20th century, scientists believed that the chest cavity would implode at around 115 feet.
Water pressure, they argued, reaches 65 pounds per square inch at that depth, which is enough to shrink
lungs to the size of grapefruits and collapse rib cages like empty soda cans. Their theory went out the
window in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, however, when divers like Enzo Maiorca returned from beyond
115-feet with rib cages intact. We now know that water pressure forces blood vessels in the chest to swell,
filling the void left by the lungs with an incompressible fluid.
Among the dangers of free diving, the most disconcerting is shallow-water blackout—the brains frightening
tendency to shut down within 15 feet of the surface during the ascent. As you descend, water pressure
squeezes your lungs, condensing the oxygen and giving you what feels like a second breath. During the
return trip, however, your lungs re-expand, dissipating whats left of your oxygen. If levels drop too low, not
enough will move into the bloodstream, and the lights go out. Fortunately, the body’s laryngospasm reflex
kicks in to tighten the throat and keep water out for up to a minute—just enough time for your dive buddy
to drag you to the surface, tilt your head back, and beg, “Breathe, baby.”
Knowing Johnston will be there watching my eyes as I ascend (seeing them roll back in the head is a red
flag), I dip below the surface. Staying in the syringe—dive speak for a tight hydrodynamic column—I kick
down to 30 feet, my point of neutral buoyancy, and then sink effortlessly to the bottom. I feel
good—surprisingly good—thanks to the densely packed oxygen molecules in my lungs.
Lingering a moment, I peer up at the mirrored surface that separates this liquid world from mine. Diving to
55 feet was no sweat. I figure I could dive twice that with a little practice, reaching what scientists thought,
not 50 years ago, was the body’s depth limit. Today, however, that boundary has been pushed to at least
531 feet (the current no-limits world record), which begs the question: Just how deep can humans go?
“We don’t know that yet,” says Lundgren, adding ominously. “But one day someone will find out.
Q: Which of the following is true in respect of the effect of water pressure on humans?
[A].​ Scientists believed that the chest cavity would blow up at a depth of about 115 feet.
[B].​ Rib cages will collapse at the water pressure of 65 pounds per square inch.
[C].​ Blood vessels of the chest enlarge and fill the empty space left by lungs that have been compressed.
[D].​ It is now known that lungs will not shrink with the increase in water pressure.
[E]. ​It is no longer believed that the chest cavity will cave in at a depth of about 115 feet.
