Solutions

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. America has more than 80,000 dams which can produce electricity. Generating electricity from these dams can avoid million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year. Option (a) is an easy assumption; ‘flowing water from dams is used to generate electricity. The second and third sentences suggest option (b). Option (c) can be assumed from the last sentence. Option (d) mentions the safety of dams; this is not supported by the passage.

S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. When the manager decides to reject 500 of the 5000 phones produced to ensure quality, he assumes that the remaining 4500 (or 90%) are of standard or good quality. Hence choice (d) is the proper assumption. Choice (a) is not an assumption in the manager’s decision since he would seek to increase profits. Choices (b), has not been suggested. Choice (c) (market standard) is not an assumption.

S11. Ans.(b)
