Q 1. People may be attracted to those who have similar attitudes, values, and beliefs and even marry them at least in part on the basis of this similarity because attitudes are highly visible and salient characteristics and they are fundamental to the way people lead their lives. Personality-related characteristics, on the other hand, take much longer to be known. However, once people are in a committed relationship, it is primarily personality similarity that influences marital happiness because being in a committed relationship entails regular interaction and requires extensive coordination in dealing with tasks, issues and problems of daily living. ____.

1)But Nature doesnt really care whether they get along or not, as long as the two procreate.

2)That is why we try to choose someone with the same interests as we, someone from a similar background, with the same values, and with whom we have a lot in common.

3)Hence couples with similar temperaments tend to get along better, and that similar attitudes and beliefs are not an important factor.

4)Where personality similarity is likely to facilitate this process, personality differences may result in more friction and conflict in daily life.

5)Exceptions generally do not arise when some external factors, like interference of in-laws, is playing a role in the couples unhappiness, not their personalities.

Q.2 Existentialism is the view of life which focuses on a man and in so doing denies that any man is to be measured or equated against any class called man in any sense of experience. Since man traditionally is classified in terms of his mind, body and will against the framework of an external world, the existential position denies, utterly, the certainty of any external world, as object, and denies, utterly, the assertion that any rule physical, emotive, or intellectual - is valid in relation to the single individual. __________________ .

(1) The exponent of existentialism considers the traditional world to be one of illusion.
(2) Man is not an accidental expression of colliding atoms which continuously move in a random
fashion.
(3) It is quite interesting to analyze organized religion with this background.
(4) It is the consciousness of a man that he is existing in terms of his own flowing of experience, a flow which is governed by natural laws.
(5) Therefore, the existentialist is free to choose because there are no objective standards to inhibit or constrain his choice.

The passage is trying to convey that man or his existence is not complemented by any other being/object not even the other men so i'll go with 5. Not very sure though of my conclusion!

Q. 3 It is a challenge for democracy how animal rights issues can get an important place in politics. There is no doubt that the issue is important, but tigers, buffaloes and birds dont have any votes. The thing to do, then, is to link up the protection of animals with the protection of sustainable livelihoods. In other words, if we have a concept of wild life protection in which tribals and forest dwellers can be involved on a large scale in wild life protection by providing them sustainable livelihoods for this work, we can have schemes with a lot of potential to actually protect wild life. ____.

1) In addition, it will generate a great deal of interest from political parties who want to attract tribal votes.
2) In addition, such schemes can obviously be in the forefront of election campaigns.
3) In addition, mass mobilisation based on issues of sustainability becomes possible.
4) In addition, animal rights issues can get an important place in politics.
5) In addition, it will compel political parties to give their whole attention to issues of critical importance like protection of environment.

Q. 4 The ripper murders mark an important watershed in modern british life. Whilst not the first serial killer, jack the ripper's case was the first to create a worldwide media frenzy. Reforms to the stamp act in 1855 had enabled the publication of inexpensive newspapers with wider circulation. These mushroomed later in the victorian era to include mass-circulation newspapers as cheap as a halfpenny, along with popular magazines such as the illustrated police news, making the ripper the beneficiary of previously unparalleled publicity. _____________________

1) it was possibly the beginning of sensational journalism in the world.
2) hence, jack the ripper remained a mysterious character for years to come.
3) this, combined with the fact that no one was ever convicted of the murders, created a legend that cast a shadow over later serial killers.
4) hence, we can see that media frenzy is part and parcel of all public investigations.
5) this shows that media frenzy only hampers investigations.
