When Europeans, beginning with Columbus, entered the New World in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there were a number of things they didn’t pause to appreciate before commencing with the pillaging. One is that they had happened upon a rare and precious natural experiment. The ancestor of native Americans had migrated from northeast Asia during the late Stone Age, the ‘Upper Paleolithic’. Then, around 10,000 B.C., with the climate warming, the land they’d walked across was deluged by the Bering Sea. The Old World and the New World were now two distinct petri dishes for cultural evolution. Any basic trends inherent in the process should be evident in both. The experiment wasn’t perfect. Certainly by 2,000 B.C., and possibly earlier, the Eskimos (also known as the Inuit) had boats. Though paddling across the Bering Sea wasn’t the kind of thing you would do for weekend recreation, and travel from one Alaskan village to another was often arduous, there now existed the theoretical possibility for innovations to move glacially from Asia into North America. Still, for most of prehistory, cultural changes in the New World appear to have been indigenous, and even during the last few thousand years, contact with the Old World was tenuous. The two hemispheres, west and east, are the closest things to huge, independent examples of ongoing cultural change that this planet has to offer. There is one other reason that primitive American cultures are so enlightening. As of Columbus’s voyage, they had an advantage over primitive Eurasian societies as objects of study. Namely, they still existed; they had not been steamrolled by the expansion of Old World civilizations. And, though Columbus and other Europeans tried to make up for lost time with their own steamrolling, they were not wholly effective. Observed and recorded in the New World was an unprecedented array of cultures, with diverse technologies and social structures. From this diversity a few basic patterns emerge, patterns that turn out to be consistent with the archaeological remains of those steamrolled Old World cultures. Native American cultures thus offer unique evidence of the universal impetus toward cultural complexity.
Q. What is the author's attitude towards Columbus and European Conquerors of the New World?
a) He laments their inattentiveness and ineffectiveness
b)He denounces them for destroying new world cultures.
c)He condemns their destructive ways in sarcastic asides.
d) He mentions their actions in purely neutral terms.

Find the incorrect ones.
A. Beauty contests, for men as well as women, are one of the last bastions of political incorrectness.

C. So, it might sound bizarre, if not downright perverse, to some that the preliminary round of the Miss India contest, the country’s biggest beauty pageant, will be hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, which is known, as all the other IITs, for a gender ratio severely skewed against women.
D. Yet, both for the IITs and for the Miss India contest, this may not be a bad thing after all and not for the most obvious reasons.
E. Everything that is objectionable archaic in the traditional beauty contest for women is encapsulated in the title itself.

Read the passages carefully and answer the questions that follow.
It takes a special kind of person, one with a superior will, to take to Formula I racing. And it takes a very, very special kind to endure the tension, meet the demands and end up as a legend in the sport.“It’s like balancing an egg on a spoon while shooting the rapids,” said Graham Hill, the English driver. A very delicate balancing act, indeed.Over the years, several heroic drivers have walked that tightrope with great success; many have lost balance and their lives, some even before achieving their potential.But what is life without danger? Will it not be monotonous and boring if all the top sportsmen stopped taking risks, if all of them were to maintain a healthy respect for danger, salute it at first sight and keep away from it?“The true man wants two things: danger and play,” wrote the incomparable philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.To be sure, most of us love safety. In man, the survival instinct is the basic instinct. But in certain areas of human activity, including sport, there are deeds that call for a total defiance of that basic instinct. And in the performance of such extraordinary deeds lies great sporting glory.... Formula 1 glory.Ah, excuse me, dear readers. I am stuck in the past, a glorious past that seems a fading dream today at the end of a Formula I season underlined by predictability and boredom, one where wheel-to-wheel racing of the sort that produces seat-edge thrills was a contrived farce rather than a competitivereality.Of course, in the last seven or eight years, ever since the death of the greatest driving talent of all time, the Brazilian Ayrton Senna, on the Imola track in Italy in 1994, Formula 1 has improved its safety standards remarkably, which is, in a way, a huge positive.But strangely enough, during an era when television has brought in large amounts of money into the game and the sort of exposure it never before had, today Formula 1, despite the presence of Michael Schumacher, one of the greatest drivers of all time, seems to have lost a lot of its romance of old.Last month, as Schumacher contrived a farcical climactic maneuver at Indianapolis, something that made a mockery of the very essence of competitive sport in the penultimate race of a season that’s been about as exciting as watching a staging of “Hamlet” back to front, last act to first act, longtime addicts of the sport might have been tempted to look back to the good old days with nostalgia ... and die-hard romantics such as this writer can hope to be forgiven.Ah, what a fall! How badly has a great sport, one filled with the heroics of virtuoso performers behind the wheels, slipped into the morass of the predictable and the farcical!As you grow older, the one thing that quite often strikes you is that sport is never as good as it was. It’s much like movies and music. The contemporary stuff can never match the classics of old. What on celluloid, today, can stand up to challenge “Casablanca” or “On the Waterfront”? What on the pop scene can aspire to match Elvis Presley or the Beatles?Nostalgia, to be sure, is a disease, a disease that not even a double dose of reality can cure. It is as common as common cold in many of us who look back to our golden yesterdays and then sigh, “Ah, nothing is what it used to be.”Ten or 20 years down the line, our sons and daughters might look back to the early years of the new millennium and say just that. And the point is, nothing can be what it used to be. For, life has no reverse gear. If our todays were like our yesterdays, we would probably die of boredom.Then again, no matter all this, there are eras in sporting history that appear far more romantic, considerably more exciting and, in hindsight, surely more worthy of being a part of, than the present. This might seem particularly so in a sport such as Formula I racing which, for a variety of reasons — not only because of the genius of one man, Michael Schumacher, who is so much better than his nearest rival — has become predictable for the most part.This season, long before Schumacher, in a moment of ill-advised indulgence, slowed down at Indianapolis in a botched attempt at bringing up a dead-heat with his Brazilian team-mate Rubens Barrichello, the circus had been reduced to a farce. The trapeze artists and the dare-devil performers had already disappeared behind the curtain and only the clowns were left at the climax, so to say.
Q1)The reference to the staging of ‘Hamlet’ in the passage shows that:
A) the whole race as well as the climax has become predictable.
B) the presence of one of the greatest drivers of all time has lifted racing to the level of a Shakespearean drama.
C) the melodrama in racing has overtaken the thrill.
D) like a Shakespearean play, watching the race over and over again is as exciting as it was the first time.
Q2) According to the author, what is the significance of Schumacher’s success in relation to Formula1?
A) Schumacher’s performance underscores the predictability of the sport.
B) Schumacher’s presence in the game makes it an exciting prospect.
C) Schumacher’s ignorance of danger makes him a complete racer.
D) Schumacher is the last hope left for the dying sport.
Q3) The author is cynical about present day Formula I racing as he feels that:
A) a great sport, one filled with the heroics of virtuoso performers behind the wheels, now lacks talented players.
B) the game has slipped into a predictable and farcical situation, which just induces nostalgia.
C) since the improvement of safety standards, the game no longer provides seat-edge thrills.
D) all of the above
Q4) What is the author’s objective in mentioning ‘Elvis Presley’ and ‘Casablanca’ in the passage?
A) To show us that the best products were all created in the past, not in the present.
B) To bring about a feeling of nostalgia about the past.
C) To present examples of exemplary forms of media.
D) To show us that people feel that the past was always better than the present.
