Test: Reading Comprehension - Software Development MCQ

The correct answer is ''it has not cleared the path of its orbit''.

Key Points

• The given passage talks about 'Why Pluto is not a Planet?'
• We know that 'A dwarf planet has a round mass of metal and rock or gas, moving around the Sun or another star, that is not large enough to be considered a planet.'
• To be a planet, an object must be large enough to have cleared the path of its orbit of other debris orbiting the sun.
• Unlike the eight planets the IAU now recognizes, Pluto hasn't managed that.
• It means 'Pluto' does not have a clear orbit.
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 3.
  ​

The correct answer is 'Haumea, Ceres, and Makemake'.

Key Points

• The given passage is about 'Why Pluto is not a Planet?'
• The line 'Checking every box except one means that Pluto can't be considered a true planet. Instead, it's classified as a dwarf planet, along with Eris and other large objects, like Ceres, Haumea, and Makemake'. This line tells us that 'Ceres, Haumea, and Makemake' are classified as 'objects'.
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct answer is 'Distance'.

Key Points

• The given passage talks about 'Why Pluto is not a Planet'. 
• As it is mentioned in the passage that 'to be a planet, an object must be large enough to have cleared the path of its orbit of other debris orbiting the sun.'
• And we know that ''A planet is a celestial body'' that
  • (a) is in orbit around the Sun,
  • (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and
  • (c) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct answer is 'revising our definition of Pluto'.

Key Points

• The given passage talks about 'Why Pluto is not a planet'. 
• We know that a planet is 'an extremely large, round mass of rock and metal, such as Earth, or of gas, such as Jupiter, that moves in a circular path around the sun or another star'. 
  • Example: Might there be intelligent life on other planets?
• By the definition of 'Planet', we find that 'To be a planet, an object must be large enough to have cleared the path of its orbit of other debris orbiting the sun.'
• Unlike the eight planets the IAU now recognizes, Pluto hasn't managed that.
• Hence, Pluto is now a Dwarf Planet. A dwarf planet has a round mass of metal and rock or gas, moving around the Sun or another star, that is not large enough to be considered a planet.
• Dwarf planets in the solar system include Ceres, Pluto, and Eris.
• Therefore, the given passage is mainly about 'revising our definition of Pluto'.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct answer is 'Once classified a planet cannot be redefined'.

Key Points

• The given passage is about 'Why Pluto is not a Planet?'.
• In 2006, Pluto, scientists told us, should no longer be called a planet, but instead a dwarf planet.
• Here, Option 1, Option 2, and Option 4 are mentioned in the passage.
• IAU decides the definition of a planet. Hence, only Option 3 is not mentioned in the given passage.
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 3.

Here the correct answer is Because he was treated very poorly when he was summoned to the office of the executor of his father’s will.
Key Points:-

• It is clearly mentioned in the 6th and 7th sentences of the second paragraph that 'He was summoned to the office of the executor of his father’s will and treated quite poorly. Sorabjee decided he wanted to pursue a profession in which he would be his own master'.
• Thus, Sorabjee decided to pursue a profession where he can be his own master after he was poorly treated at the office of the executor of his father's will.
• Thus, the correct answer is option 4.

Here the correct answer is Dignified.
Key Points

• It is clearly mentioned in the 6th and 7th sentences of the 2nd paragraph that 'He was summoned to the office of the executor of his father’s will and treated quite poorly. Sorabjee decided he wanted to pursue a profession in which he would be his own master'.
• This clearly shows that Soli Sorabjee didn't like how he was treated and that he had a composed and serious behaviour and he wanted to earn respect and be his own master.
• Dignified(adjective) - having or showing a composed or serious manner that is worthy of respect.
  • For Example - She maintained a dignified silence.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.

Here the correct answer is Soli Sorabjee promised Khursetjee that he would occupy space in the chamber, instead of sitting in the High Court library.
Key Points:-

• Option 1 is true according to the passage because it is clearly mentioned in the 1st sentence of the first paragraph that 'India mourns the loss of one of her great sons, former attorney general of India and Padma Vibhushan Soli Sorabjee'.
• Thus, the statement is true with reference to the passage.
• Option 2 is true according to the passage because it is clearly mentioned in the 2nd sentence of the first paragraph that 'Born to Jehangir and Khorshed Sorabjee on March 9, 1930, Sorabjee was a first-generation lawyer, and the first member of his immediate family to attend university'.
• Thus, the statement is true with reference to the passage.
• Option 3 is true according to the passage because it is clearly mentioned in the 1st sentence of the third paragraph that 'It was for this reason that in 1950, just as a new Constitution came into force in India, Sorabjee found himself studying law at Government Law College in Bombay'.
• Thus, the statement is true with reference to the passage. 
• Option 4 is incorrect according to the passage because it is clearly mentioned in the last sentence of the third paragraph that 'Sorabjee had to promise Khursetjee that he would sit in the High Court library, instead of occupying space in the chamber'.
• Thus, the given sentence in the option is false according to the passage because Sorabjee promised Khursetjee that he would sit in the High Court library and not in the chamber.
• Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Here the correct answer is Because he badly injured his leg in an accident and the leg never recovered.
Key Points:-

• It is clearly mentioned in the 3rd and 4th sentence of the second paragraph that 'Sorabjee was riding a motorcycle on Marine Drive when he got into an accident in which his left leg was badly injured. The leg never fully healed and never again was Sorabjee able to run or sprint'.
• Thus, it is clear that since Sorabjee met with an accident and injured his leg which never fully healed, therefore, he wasn't able to run or sprint.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.

Here the correct answer is Rejoice.
Key Points

• Let's look at the meaning of the underlined word:-
  • Mourns(verb) - feel or show sorrow for the death of (someone), typically by following conventions such as the wearing of black clothes. ((किसी) की मृत्यु के लिए दुःख महसूस करना या दिखाना, आमतौर पर काले कपड़े पहनने जैसे सम्मेलनों के बाद)
    • For Example - Isobel mourned her husband.
• Let's look at the meaning of the correct answer:-
  • Rejoice(verb) - feel or show great joy or delight. (बहुत खुशी या खुशी महसूस करना या दिखाना)
    • For Example - We spent the evening rejoicing at our victory.
• Let's look at the meaning of the other options:-
  • Sad(adjective) - feeling or showing sorrow; unhappy. (दुख को महसूस करना या दिखाना; दुखी)
    • For Example - I was sad and subdued.
  • Bemoan(verb) - express discontent or sorrow over (something). (विलाप करना)
    • For Example - It was no use bemoaning her lot.
  • Regret(verb) - feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that one has done or failed to do). (दुख, पश्चाताप, या निराश महसूस करें (ऐसा कुछ जो किसी ने किया हो या करने में विफल रहा हो))

Therefore, the correct antonym of the underlined word in the passage is Rejoice.
