Q.4
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below.
"What women can expect from Courts… is a qualified degree of equal treatment," wrote Professor
Wendy Williams in "The Equality Crisis: Some Reflections on Culture, Courts, and Feminism,"adding
that "women's equality as delivered by Courts can only be an integration into a pre-existing,
predominantly male world." This is so because, though the courts may be well meaning and earnestly
intend to uphold equal rights for women, they can only reflect the shared life experience of
individuals. This takes a largely male hue, not only because the judgment-deliverers are
predominantly male, but also because society systemically supports male supremacy. And this
systemic slant shades the thought processes that lie behind laws too, and the courts apply the laws
in their judgments.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?
Add to my
a One of the causes for incessant perpetuation of gender discrimination in society lies in the fact
that judgment-deliverers are predominantly male who deliver judgments unintentionally biased
towards men.
b Gender-based laws, which aim to affirm the equality of women, would do well in upholding the
rights of women in a largely male dominated world.
c The inability of courts to deliver equality to women in the real sense can partly be attributed to
the male judgment deliverers who form the majority.
d Male supremacy which is inherent in the society makes equality for women, as delivered by
courts, possible only on paper.

Q.5
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below.
Several groups of scientists and naturalists have spread out to the forests and marshes across the
country this monsoon in a coordinated expedition to try to locate some 50 species of amphibians that
had eluded sighting since the time they were first reported. These species have been missing for
periods ranging from 16 years to 169 years. The search is taking place simultaneously in 15 States,
because the monsoon season is the best time for locating frogs that erupt into a croaking chorus
after the rains. The project is aimed not only at locating the lost species, but also proposing
measures to conserve them and their habitats.
Which of the following can be logically concluded from the passage above?
Add to my
a For a species to be declared extinct, it should not have been sighted for at least 169 years.
b The species mentioned in the passage have not come out in the open for the last 16 years.
c The monsoon period has started in 15 states.

Q.6
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below.
Scientists have developed a simple test which can diagnose autism in children as young as two
years, a breakthrough they say could lead to earlier detection and better treatment of the brain
disorder. The technique, invented by a team at Boston Children's Hospital, uses EEG scalp scanning
equipment used for decades to diagnose epilepsy to spot weaknesses in the brain's wiring. The test,
they believe, is also suitable for use in poor countries that lack the specialist staff normally needed
to make a definitive diagnosis, the Daily Mail reported.
Which of the following cannot be validly concluded from the passage above?
Add to my
a Early detection will lead to better treatment.
b Currently the average child cannot be diagnosed with autism until after 2 years of age.
c Diagnosis of autism can be a complicated process requiring specialists.
d Epilepsy can be diagnosed easily.

Q.7
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below.
There is an explicit conflict between the aims of girls' socialization at home and their education at
school. Tradition and customs require girls to learn during childhood that they must submit to male
authority in all aspects of their life. The core of this learning lies in giving up any claim to
intellectual autonomy and individual uniqueness. With the full force that religious and caste beliefs,
and their representations in mythology, might be expected to carry for the young mind, girls are
made to internalize the all-encompassing social value of their bodies for reproduction. Restrictions
on physical movement and posture and on the use of time and space begin much before puberty, but
after menarche these restrictions acquire comprehensive rigor. If we add to these the chronic
anxiety about the inescapability of leaving one's parents' home, we can somewhat appreciate how
incompatible are the norms of girlhood in India with the basic principles of education.
Which of the following can be validly inferred from the passage above?
Add to my
a The state of girls and their level of empowerment is much better abroad than in India.
b Girls in India are a suppressed lot with many restrictions which are not applicable to boys.
c For boys, there is no conflict between socialization and formal education.
d While formal teaching is the same for both the genders, the home environment is to be blamed
for the girl's lack of empowerment.

Q.8
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below.
Aid to give people in developing countries access to clean water and sanitation has been shrinking as
a proportion of global aid budgets, with the result that more than a billion people will not get the
help they were promised by rich countries under the Millennium Development Goals. Instead, donors
help they were promised by rich countries under the Millennium Development Goals. Instead, donors
are restricting aid to projects such as schools and hospitals — even though the benefits of those are
diminished if their recipients have no clean water or toilets.
Which of the following can be inferred from the argument above?
Add to my
a Water and sanitation are more important than schooling and medical aid.
b Clean water and sanitation now account for the least proportion of global aid amounts.
c Investing in water and decent sanitation has been found to be one of the most effective uses of
development aid.
d Western countries have gone back on their promise of aid in the area of water and sanitation,
and instead are focusing on education and health.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine that can cure us of this disease of alcoholism. But if we decide to

alcohol become alcoholics. But one in two, that is 50 per cent, indulge in what is called 'hazardous
drinking' — you may not drink every day but when you do, you drink so much that you are no longer
in your senses and you cause harm to yourself and to others. Or, you may consume just a little and
still behave in a hazardous manner — for example, by driving a car.
