  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    Given above is the format of a poster. What content does the following numbered space contain?

    ...view full instructions

    Choose the correct option for [45].

    Solution
    A poster is generally made in this order:
    1. The name of the organisers
    2. A graphic image that represents the poster
    3. The heading
    4. The message/details of the event
    5. The date, place and time when the event will be held
    6. Contact details of a person for attending the event

    Blank 45 is the last detail to be filled, i.e., the contact details of the sponsors or organisers.
    Option B contains the appropriate content that is filled at the end of a poster. Hence B is the correct option.
    Option A: The heading/slogan and event details are written towards the center of the poster. It isn't written last. Hence A is incorrect.
    Option C: The banner does not include the event details. Also, the banner is the first thing mentioned on a poster. Hence C is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because the answer lies only in B. ('Any' indicates that all options are correct.)

  • Question 2

    Directions For Questions

    Given below are some details on Sir Issac Newton. Using the information, a short bio-sketch of the great scientist has been reproduced. Complete the bio-sketch with the help of the options given below: 

    Sir Isaac Newton 

    Birth: 1642 in a small village of Woolsthorpe 
    Parents: father died, mother remarried a clergyman 
    Guardian: his old grandmother, kind, sent him to school 
    First achievement: Set of little tools, saws of various sizes manufactured

    Choose the correct option for [1]:
    Solution
    As given in the introductory passage, "a short bio-sketch of the great scientist has been reproduced", Sir Isaac Newton was a scientist.
    Hence B is the correct option.
    Options A, C and D are incorrect because these professions are not mentioned in the given passage.

    ...view full instructions

    Choose the correct option for [9]:
    Solution
    Option B: As mentioned in the line "Set of little tools, saws of various sizes manufactured", the correct term used in blank 9 should be 'saws of various sizes'. This is seen in option B, hence it's correct.
    Option A: 'Manufactured saws' is not the correct term here. It differs from the original wording in the details (saws of various sizes). Also, it causes repetition in the sentence: "was the manufacturing of ... and manufactured saws". Hence option A is incorrect.
    Option C: 'Various saws' is also not the correct wording. The saws were of various 'sizes', and not 'various saws'. Hence C is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.

    Dark Snow
    Most of Greenlands interior is covered by a thick layer of ice and compressed snow known as the Greenland Ice Sheet. The size of the ice sheet fluctuates seasonally: in summer, average daily high temperatures
    in Greenland can rise to slightly above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, partially melting the ice; in the winter, the sheet thickens as additional snow falls, and average daily low temperatures can drop [12] to as low as 20 degrees.
    Typically, the ice sheet begins to show evidence of thawing in late [13] summer. This follows several weeks of higher temperatures. [14] For example, in the summer of 2012, virtually the entire Greenland Ice Sheet underwent thawing at or near its surface by mid-July, the earliest date on record. Most scientists looking for the causes of the Great Melt of 2012 have focused exclusively on rising temperatures. The summer of 2012 was the warmest in 170 years, records show. But Jason [15] Box, an associate professor of geology at Ohio State believes that another factor added to the early [16] thaw; the "dark snow" problem.
    According to Box, a leading Greenland expert, tundra fires in 2012 from as far away as North America produced great amounts of soot, some [17] of it drifted over Greenland in giant plumes of smoke and then [18] fell as particles onto the ice sheet. Scientists have long known that soot particles facilitate melting by darkening snow and ice, limiting [19] its ability to reflect the Suns rays. As Box explains, "Soot is an extremely powerful light absorber. It settles over the ice and captures the Sun's heat." The result is a self-reinforcing cycle. As the ice melts, the land and water under the ice become exposed, and since land and water are darker than snow,
    the surface absorbs even more heat, which [20] is related to the rising temperatures.
    [1] Box's research is important because the fires of 2012 may not be a one-time phenomenon. [2] According to scientists, rising Arctic temperatures are making northern latitudes greener and thus more fire prone.
    [3] The pattern Box observed in 2012 may repeat [21] itself again, with harmful effects on the Arctic ecosystem. [4] Box is currently organizing an expedition to gather this crucial information. [5] The next step for Box and his team is to travel to Greenland to perform direct sampling of the ice in order to determine just how much the soot is contributing to the melting of the ice sheet. [6] Members of the public will be able to track his teams progress--and even help fund the expedition--through a website Box has created. [22]

    [17]

    Solution
    We often use which with prepositions. Some formal styles prefer to use a preposition before which rather than to leave the preposition ‘hanging’ at the end of the sentence. Which introduces the relative clause, " drifted
    over Greenland in giant plumes of smoke" and refers to "soot". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence, incorrect.

    To make this paragraph most logical, sentence 4 should be placed [22]

    Solution
    Box observed a temperature pattern in Arctic circle. He decided to travel to Greenland to collect evidence as said in line 5. The next step, mentioned in line 4,is to organise the expedition. Hence, line 4 should come after 5 logically, and Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence, incorrect.

    [16]

    Solution
    The colon can be used to emphasize a phrase or single word at the end of a sentence. Using a colon in "thaw: the 'dark snow'", means that "the dark snow" illustrates "thaw". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence, incorrect.

    Which choice best completes the description of a self-reinforcing cycle? [20]

    Solution
    After the land and water are exposed from the melting of ice, they absorb further heat, leading to a rise in temperature, which causes even more melting. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence, incorrect.

    Solution
    Normally, by late summer, only parts of the ice sheet thaws. Contrary to the usual phenomenon, in mid-July, 2012, virtually the entire Greenland Ice Sheet underwent thawing at or near its surface. The word "however" is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously. Hence, it should replace "for example" Option B is correct.

    The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, the simple past tense emphasizes that the action is finished. The action of tundra fires falling as particles on the ice sheet finished in the past.

    Solution
    We use commas to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence. Appositives act as synonyms for a juxtaposed word or phrase. Here, the appositive is "an associate professor of geology at Ohio State", which gives more information about Jason box. Therefore, a comma should be used before and after it, to separate it from the sentence. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence, incorrect.
