Q16. Four statements are given below, labelled a, b, c and d. Of these, three statements are in logical order and form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the option that does not fit the sequence.

Ontology has frequently been understood as the theory of the ultimate classes of existents or entities and of characteristics of and structures that belong to all entities merely as such.

Understood in these way acts of human cognition, for example, like all other events, obviously fall within the domain of ontology.

There are thus also certain special or ‘regional’ ontology, which attempt to exhibit the essential characteristics and structures peculiar to the members of each of the ultimate classes of entities – of minds (and mental acts), physical bodies, and so on.

But even given this it is still not strictly true, as Gustav Bergmann has often said, that “… epistemology is but the ontology of the knowing situation.”

All sentences are in logical order

Solution:

Statement (d) explains the view of Gustav Bergmann regarding ontology as he assumes ontology is part of epistemology. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope of knowledge and is also referred to as “theory of knowledge” and ontology is the branch of philosophy which deals with nature of existence. While statements (a), (b), (c) explain about ontology.

Q17. Four statements are given below, labelled a, b, c and d. Of these, three statements are in logical order and form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the option that does not fit the sequence.

The discovery of the giant planet has puzzled the astronomers, effectively throwing a wrench in planet formation theories.

Planets close to their stars, like Earth, coalesce from small asteroid-like bodies born in the primordial disk of dust and gas that surrounds a forming star.

An international team of astronomers, led by a University of Arizona graduate student, discovered the planet HD 106906 b around a Sun-like star.

“This system is especially fascinating because no model of either planet or star formation fully explains what we see,” said Vanessa Bailey, who led the research.

All sentences are in logical order

Solution:

Statement (a) mentions about discovery of a new planet. Statement (b) provides a general concept about planets that how planets are formed. Statement (c) mentions about who all were involved in discovering this planet while Statement (d) mentions about Bailey views who led this research. Statements (a), (c), (d) seem to be interconnected, so the logical order is (a), (c), (d).

Q18. Four statements are given below, labelled a, b, c and d. Of these, three statements are in logical order and form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the option that does not fit the sequence.

Governments, city-planners and conservationists can work together to predict and plan in advance for urbanization’s threats to nature.

According to the report, humans are building the equivalent of a city the size of Vancouver every week.

Having information on cities’ impacts to these endangered species and protected areas enables planners to shape the growth of cities before it’s too late, and to implement more sustainable urban planning.

However, a lack of funding, especially in developing countries, may prevent the implementation of smart-growth plans.

All sentences are in logical order

Solution:

Statements (a), (c) are related to how the planners and government can work together on gathered information regarding urbanization, and create a smart plan for development without affecting environment and biodiversity. Statement (d) tells that lack of funds affect implementation of such plans. Whereas statement (b) tells about a report on urbanization and is illogical in context to the passage as statements (a), (c), (d) seem to be interconnected as they mention about plans and implementation of plans.

Q19. Four statements are given below, labelled a, b, c and d. Of these, three statements are in logical order and form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the option that does not fit the sequence.

Philosophers and seers since long have mull over fundamental questions regarding our existence.

Is our existence a random event in evolution or is there a greater principle in life with meaning and purpose?

The Upanishads say, “neti, neti” – not this, not this – that the true meaning of life is that some-thing which is beyond our intellectual grasp, as it perhaps lies in the stillness beyond the workings of the mind.

This inquiry has served as catalyst for evolution of ideas, philosophical and scientific quests, and a trigger for some of the greatest spiritual odysseys.

All sentences are in logical order

Solution:

The passage is about Search for Meaning of Existence. Statements (a), (b), (d) are statements related to the main idea of passage. Statement (b) mentions about question relating to meaning and purpose of existence. Statement (a) also mentions about such questions over which philosophers have been pondering on since ages. Statements (d) also seems to be related as it mentions about inquiry and researches of the philosophers etc. Statement (c) seems to be illogical as mentions about Upanishads and explains about meaning of life and not about questions or researches.

Q20. Four statements are given below, labelled a, b, c and d. Of these, three statements are in logical order and form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the option that does not fit the sequence.

This can be or may not be the only way.

By holding onto resentment, all you are doing is continuing and intensifying your own sadness.

Learn to let things go, especially those which are unchangeable and that are in the past.

This feeling will eat at you from the inside and cause stress.

All sentences are in logical order

Solution:

Statement (b), (d), (c) are interrelated as all three have a common idea about how to hold on resentment. If somebody is stressed, he becomes sad and at times misses the best opportunity in his/her way. While statement (a) talks about uncertainty and is thus the odd one out.
