Directions
(1-5): Each of the following questions has a paragraph from which the last
sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the one that
completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.

Q1. Lower
winter temperatures were common in Europe during the second half of the 17th
century, famously allowing frost fairs to be held on the frozen Thames in
London before riverine developments increased the flow rate. These cold winters
coincided with the Maunder minimum in solar activity when the Sun remained
virtually free of sunspots for almost 50 years. However, establishing that this
was not just a chance occurrence requires that the relationship continue to
hold over a long interval, such that cold European winters become less frequent
when solar activity is high and then more common again when solar activity
falls. Various indicators show that during the recent minimum of the 11 year
sunspot cycle, the Sun has been quieter than at any time in the previous 90
years.

(a) This
means that solar activity during the current sunspot minimum has fallen to
levels unknown since the start of the 20th century.

(b) This
yields an opportunity for a better test of the relationship between solar
activity and cold European winters.

(d) This
regional and seasonal effect relating to European winters may have a global
effect.

(e) None of
these is relevant

Q2. Debt is
more common in families with disabled children: the parents were unable to keep
up with any local property taxes, water, and telephone bills, and were not
likely to be able to afford basic items such as a family holiday once a year, a
bicycle, or even two pairs of shoes. A disabled baby needs more nappies. Families’
ability to work grows difficult, and finding childcare is a real burden.
Households with disabled children will depend more on social security benefits
and are faced with the additional financial costs associated with caring for a
disabled child.

(a) There is
a strong link between child disability and poverty.

(b) The
highest prevalence of childhood disability is found in the poorest families.

(d) But
thanks to science, these children live longer and medicines keep them alive.

(e) None of
these is relevant

Q3. What a
super film experience Green Zone is! From the firecracker opening to the
sucker-punch climax, the film is a non-stop adrenalin rush. The hand-held
camera and natural light make you feel as if you are seeing the action from the
front, as if you have access to footage shot from a sniper’s sights. Whether it
is a Bourne-in-Baghdad kind of relentless action thriller or a strong statement
against the U.S. war in Iraq, (incidentally, it is both) Green Zone succeeds as
a pure cinema, delivering thrills, spills and chills in breathless succession
hardly giving anyone time to breathe.

(a) This is
a movie that takes you on a thrilling, provocative, exhilarating ride.

(b) There is
really nothing more you could ask for from a movie.

(d) The plot
is taut and truthful.

(e) None of
these is relevant

Q4. Talented
youth can ill-afford to resign to their fate just because they can’t properly
communicate in English. They should confront the challenges which should, in
fact, bring out their best. A little confidence and hard work are all that is
needed for them to climb up the career ladder. For that they need to develop
communication skills in English, shape up their personalities and acquire the
much-needed knowledge.

(a)
Knowledge and communication skills are the key ingredients that make up the
recipe for success.

(b) Students
have to act as leaders in the college itself.

(d) Speaking
and writing in English are important, thinking in English is twice as
important.

(e) None of
these is relevant

Q5.
Philosophy of music has been dominated by the view that the best music is
autonomous and formally complex. As recently as 1990, philosophy of popular
music consisted of variations on a single theme. Philosophers defended the twin
assumptions that popular music is essentially different from “serious” or art
music, and that the former is aesthetically inferior to the latter.

(a) As a
result, music could not be regarded as art if it lacked genius and autonomy.

(b) As a
result, popular music competes with and replaces local and regional folk
traditions.

(d) As a
result, philosophers have investigated popular music by identifying and
critiquing key concepts that shape our response to this music.

(e) None of
these is relevant
