Detailed Solution for Food Corporation Of India Mock Test- 7 - Question 1

While sentences A, B, D, and E are concerned with the European Union's aid to India, sentence C is concerned with Kerala's own attempts to raise funds. So they are different. So option 5 is the odd sentence. 

Food Corporation Of India Mock Test- 7 - Question 2

Read the given passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given alternatives. Some words have been highlighted for your attention.

Ever since humans developed the ability to transfer their thoughts onto paper, the spread of human knowledge has continually taken big steps toward progress. From Thales of Miletus (the first known philosopher) all the way to Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, humans have successfully passed on their experiences through books. No one can argue the importance of the Gutenberg printing press, which fueled the desire to acquire knowledge during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods in Europe.

Throughout history, books and knowledge have been treated as conjoined twins—one could never exist without the other. However, the advent of modern technology has dramatically changed the way we perceive knowledge. The fine line between information and knowledge is essentially fading away, and because of that, the culture of book reading is also facing a potential degeneration.

Nevertheless, if you are one of the few whose love of printed books has not yet been routed, there is plenty of solace for you yet, in this tech-savvy age. Libraries firmly stand their ground and are home to some of the most influential and ancient printed books—writings that have helped shape human thought and history over the ages.

One such dedicated library that can still be visited is at Trinity College in Dublin. Catering to the knowledge-hungry for over three centuries, this stunning library holds over 200,000 books, ranging from popular classics to all known genres of printed books.
