MCQ: Reading Comprehension - 4(Easy) - SSC CGL MCQ

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
A new consciousness is to dawn. Science has not been able to demystify existence. This is now recognized not by ordinary technicians but by geniuses, because they are the pioneers; they can see the dawn very close by, they are the prophets. Albert Einstein said that science has failed in demystifying existence, that on the contrary, it has mystified things even more.

e.g., it was so easy-just 100 years ago-for the scientist to say that all is matter. Now matter has disappeared; in neon-physics there is no entity called matter. The deeper the physicist went into the world of matter, the less matter was found ; it is all pure energy . Can we define energy ? Energy can not be material; it is something totally different from matter . Matter is static, energy is dynamic; matter is a noun, energy is a verb. Matter is measurable. That is exactly, the meaning of the word 'matter'. It comes from 'measure', the root means 'measurable'. Matter can be measured, that's why it is called matter. Energy is immeasurable, it can not be called matter. Hence, physicists get more puzzled the more they probe into the world energy.

Q. What is the difference in "today's science and earlier science"?

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
A local man, staying on the top floor of an old wooden house was awakened at midnight by a fire. Losing his way in a smoke-filled passage, he missed the stairway and went into another room. He picked up a bundle to project his face from the fire and immediately fell through the floor below where he managed to escape through a clear doorway. The "bundle" proved to be the baby of the Mayor's wife. The "hero" was congratulated by all.

Q. The man went into another room because?

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
Floriculture can be defined as the art and knowledge of growing flowers to perfection. Department of agriculture and co-operation under the Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organization responsible for development of the floriculture sector. It is responsible for formulation and implementation of national policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural growth through optimum utilization of land, water, soil and plant resources of the country. It also includes production of planting materials through seeds, cuttings, budding and grafting. Production of cut flowers for exports is also a thrust area for support. Researchers' key focus areas are crop improvement, standardization of agro-techniques including improved propagation methods, plant protection and post harvest management. In recent years, however, technologies for protected cultivation and tissue culture for mass propagation have also received attention. A large number of promising varieties of cut flowers have been developed

Q. How is the ministry of Agriculture playing its role in increasing the production of flowers?

Q. What techniques are used for "planting materials"?

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
In presents scenario of increasing demand for cut flowers, protected cultivation in green house is the best alternatives for using land and other resources more efficiently. In protected environment, suitable environmental conditions for optimum plant growth are provided ultimately quality with products. Greenhouse is made up of glass or plastic film, which allows the solar radiations to pass through but traps the thermal radiations emitted by plants inside and, thereby, provide inside, On the basis of material used, building cost and technology used, green house can be of three types: low-cost greenhouse, medium-cost greenhouse and hi-tech greenhouse.

The difficulty in predicting the Indian monsoon by climate models is also linked with the fact most climate models have some systematic deficiency in simulating the present day climate correctly. These deficiencies are related to inability of the models in representing some of the physical process with fidelity. The climate like the Indian monsoon is a result of energy balance not only over the monsoon region but over the entire globe. The heating distribution, in turn, depends not only on the balance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial radiation but also on the latent heat released by the clouds when water vapour condenses to become rain. The heating and cooling leads to pressure differences and winds are forced by such pressure gradients, However, it is the lifting of air by convergence of air mass by winds or winds blowing against mountains that lead to condensation of water vapour and rain.

Q. Why is it difficult to predict the monsoon in india?
