Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
I opened the bag and packed the boots in, and then, just as I was going to close it, a horrible idea occurred to me. Had I packed my toothbrush ? I don't know how it is, but I never do know whether I've packed my toothbrush. My toothbrush is a thing that haunts me when I'm travelling, and makes my life a misery. I dream that I haven't packed it and wake up in a cold perspiration and get out of bed and hunt for it. And, in the morning. I pack it before I have used it and it is always the last thing I turn out of the bag and then. I repack and forget it and have to rush upstairs for it at the last moment and carry it to the railway station, wrapped up in my pocket-handkerchief.
Q. When he was going to close the bag, the idea that occurred to him was ?
Direction: The financialisation of commodity trade and current extraordinary conditions in global financial markets could have influenced the spurt in prices. The recent reductions in interest rates in the US and the injection of liquidity have resulted in investors seeking new avenues such as commodity markets, in view of the turbulence in financial markets and the low return in treasuries. The relatively easy liquidity and low interest rates, by themselves, make holding of inventories attractive and thus induce greater volatility in commodity markets. The weakening of the US dollar is also advanced as a reason for the recent volatility in commodity markets, including food items. It is evident that this phenomenon is now also coinciding with the across-the-board rise in food prices.
Q. Which of the following situations has/have prompted investors to look towards commodity markets?
I. Dip in rates of internet in the US.
II. Easy Liquidity
III. Volatility in commodity prices.

Q. What makes his life miserable whenever he undertakes travelling?
Direction: Despite promises of aid, the actual record of international aid to post-war reconstruction is deficient. Once the war ends, agencies involved in post-war relief efforts fail to understand how to start or restart economic development in a low income setting. They squander time, surplus aid funds and opportunities because they are not familiar with local conditions and don't understand their needs and viewpoints. There are distinct phases of outside help to end a conflict. In the first phase, focus is one providing instant food, water, shelter, medicine to refugees, this is the humanitarian. In the second phase emphasis is on the refugees' returning home while in the last phase long-term investments and strengthening of courts is the main focus.
Q. Which of the following is not true in the context of the passage?

An ear of corn on a corn plant is protected by a husk and at the end of the ear, emerging from the husk, you can see a bunch of silk-like threads. What is the purpose of these threads ? Well, each thread is attached to a kernel of corn inside the husk and each kernel of corn, if it is fertilized by pollen, can become a seed that can grow into a new corn plant. How does pollen reach the kernel ? It travels through the silk-like thread, which is a hollow tube.
Q. Pollen makes it possible for kernels to become?

A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in retrograde to the great confusion of the traffic and no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for foot-passengers, but she replied, 'I m going to walk where I like. We have got liberty now.' It did not occur to the dear lady that if liberty entitled the foot-passenger to walk down the middle of the the road it also entitled the taxi-drive on the pavement, and that the end of such liberty would be universal chaos. Everything would be getting in everybody else's way and nobody would get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy
Q. The lady refused to move from the middle of the street because?
Direction: In 1900, to a shipping clerk---Alexander Fleming---a career in science seemed like a distant dream. Alexander the youngest son of a Scottish farmer from Ayrshire was born on 6, August, 1881. He was able to complete High school but then his family funds ran out. At sixteen he took a job as a shipping clerk and stayed there for four years. In 1901. Alexander came across a small legacy which enabled him to continue his education, and, on the advice of one of his brothers who was a doctor, he chose to prepare for a career in medicine. Alexander did unusually well in medical school along with rifle shooting, swimming, water polo and painting. After his graduation, his teacher Prof. Wright asked him to join him in bacteriological research, which he readily agreed.
Q. What problem was faced by Alexander that nipped his completion of High School ?
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 contrary thing that science has done?
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
In spring, polar bear mothers emerge from dens with three months old cubs. The mother bear has fasted for as long as eight months but that does not stop the young from demanding full access to her remaining reserves. If there are triplets, the most persistent stands to gain an extra meal and it may have the meal at the expense of other. The smallest of the litter forfeits many meals to stronger siblings. Females are protective of their cubs but tend to ignore family rivalry over food. In 21 years of photographing polar bears, I've only once seen the smallest of triplets survive till autumn.
With reference to the passage, the following assumptions have been made
1. Polar bears fast as long as eight months due to non-availability of prey.
2. Polar bears always give birth to triplets.
Which of the assumptions given above is/are valid?
Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
Although an Eco-friendly process and one of the important ways to save the environment, recycling is not gaining pace in the industry. The recycling undergoes many process. First is collecting and sorting of garbage. This required a lot of manpower and tools which are expensive. Another disadvantage of recycling which makes it unviable is that for the manufacturers economically, the recycled material is not highly demanded since its quality is not as good as the original material. So, if the marketing of recycled goods is not worthwhile then the whole process of recycling cannot be economically efficient. Recycled products face other disadvantage as well, such life, difficult in de-linking the dyed products and less durability etc.
Q. What are the basic requirements of recycling?
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.

Q. The old lady failed to realise that?
Direction: The psychological causes of unhappiness, it is clear, are many and various, but all have something in common. The typical unhappy man, is one who, having been deprived in youth of some normal satisfaction, has come to value this one kind of satisfaction more than any other and has therefore given to his life a one-sided direction, together with a quite undue emphasis upon the achievement as opposed to the activities connected with it. There is, however, a further development which is very common in the present day. A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of ‘pleasure'. This is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.
Q. Which one of the following is the correct explanation for the given statements ?
Drinking helps the unhappy man only to ?
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. What techniques are used for "planting materials"?
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
It is not luck but labor that makes a man. Luck says an American writer, is every waiting for something to turn up; labor with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something . Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labor turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labor watches. Luck relies on chance, labor on character. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence; labor strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction, therefore,
is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words, that a man's success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things.
Q. Which one of the following words in the passage indicate that the writer does not ultimately reject the element of Luck?
