    Fill in blank (2) with an appropriate word.
    Solution
    The given conversation is about a student, Reema, whose qualities are being discussed by two teachers. The first teacher says that some people are of the opinion that Reema "tries to control others too much". To this, the second teacher agrees, and uses an adjective that describes her controlling nature "I agree, she can be quite...at times", we need to choose the correct adjective from these options. 'Domineering' means 'to rule arbitrarily, to have authority over others', this is quite similar to what the teacher says "tries to control others too much", hence it is the appropriate adjective and option C is correct. 'Conceited' means 'vain, proud, self-important', it does not mean the same as having a controlling behaviour, hence it isn't the correct adjective and option A is incorrect. 'Selfish' means 'to be devoted to only oneself, to care about only oneself', it does not mean the same as her controlling behaviour, hence option B is incorrect. Similarly, 'egocentric' also means selfish, or self-centered, it does not relate to the ongoing conversation, hence option D is correct.

    Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:
    When we see the ubiquity of the internet around us today, we find it hard to believe that it is barely 
    thirty years old. It was invented in the USA to allow various computers to communicate with each 
    other, an improvement upon the limited possibilities of the physical linking of computers prevalent 
    then. Begun in 1990. the World Wide Web (www) is among the principal services available on the 
    internet and has had a major impact on how we use this facility. with almost countless websites in 
    numerous languages, www has become the most popular content provider in the world, with a host 
    of search engines to facilitate navigation.
    In fact, it is not uncommon today to even measure progress in a region or country, using the yardstick 
    of internet access among the population. However, in this respect, India presents an interesting case 
    where the soaring number of users often mask the digital divide between the literate minority and the 
    large, illiterate masses.
    Nonetheless, while educationists now have bold plans to exploit the internet to the hilt towards the 
    spread of literacy in the country, the availability of hardware and IT skill are a stumbling block, 
    compounded but the huge number of computer-illiterate that defies all planning within a foreseeable 
    time frame.
    Yet, we can only marvel at the internet for all that it can accomplish at the click of a mouse.
