    Coworking: A creative solution
            When I left my job as a website developer at a small company for a position that allowed me to work full-time from home, I thought I had it made: I gleefully traded in my suits and dress shoes for sweatpants and
    slippers. My frantic early-morning bagged lunch packing for a leisurely midday trip to my refrigerator. The novelty of this comfortable work-from-home life, however, [23] soon got worn off quickly. Within a month, I found
    myself feeling isolated, despite having frequent email and instant messaging contact with my colleagues. I had become frustrated trying to solve difficult problems, with [24] no colleagues nearby to share ideas. It was during this time that I read an article [25] into coworking spaces.
    The article, published by Forbes magazine, explained that coworking spaces are designated locations that, for a fee, individuals can use to conduct their work. The spaces are usually stocked with standard office [26] equipment, such as photocopiers, printers, and fax machines. [27] In
    these locations, however, the spaces often include small meeting areas and larger rooms for hosting presentations. [28] The cost of launching a new coworking business in the United States is estimated to be approximately
    $58,000.
            What most caught my interest, though, was a quotation from someone who described coworking spaces as "melting pots of creativity." The article refers to a 2012 survey in which [29] 64 percent of respondents noted that co-working spaces prevented them from completing tasks in a given time. The article goes on to suggest that the most valuable resources provided by
    coworking spaces are actually the people [30] who use them.
    [1] Thus, even though I already had all the equipment I needed in my home office, I decided to try using a coworking space in my city. [2] Because I was
    specifically interested in coworking's reported benefits related to creativity. I chose a facility that offered a bright, open work area where I wouldn't be isolated. [3] Throughout the morning, more people appeared.
    [4] Periods of quiet, during which everyone worked independently, were broken up occasionally with lively conversation. [31] I liked the experience so much that I now go to the coworking space a few times a week. Over time, I've gotten to know several of my coworking [32] colleagues: another website developer, a graphic designer, a freelance writer, and several mobile app coders. Even those of us who work in disparate fields are able to [33] share advice and help each other brainstorm. In fact, it's the diversity of their talents and experiences that makes my coworking colleagues so valuable.

    [passage-header]Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]Both plants and animals of many sorts show remarkable changes in form, structure, growth habits, and even mode of reproduction in becoming adapted to the different climatic environments, types of the food supply, or mode of living. This divergence in response to evolution is commonly expressed by altering the form and function of some part(s) of the organism, the original identification of which is clearly discernible. For example, the creeping foot of the snail is seen in related marine pteropods to be modified into a flapping organ useful for swimming and is changed into prehensile arms that bear suctorial disks in squids and other cephalopods. The limbs of various mammals are modified according to several different modes of life - for swift running (cursorial) as in the horse and antelope, for swinging in trees (arboreal) as in the monkeys, for digging (fossorial) as in the moles and gophers, for flying (volant) as in the bats, for swimming (aquatic) as in the seals, whales and dolphins, and for other adaptations. The structures or organs that show the main change in connection with this adaptive divergence is commonly identified readily as homologous in spite of great alterations. Thus, the finger and wrist bones of a bat and whale, for instance, have virtually nothing in common except that they are definitely equivalent elements of the mammalian limb.
