Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
For fourteen and a half months I lived in my little cell or room in the Dehradun jail, and I began to feel as if I was almost a part of it. I was familiar with every bit of it, I knew every mark and dent on the whitewashed walls and on the uneven floor and the ceiling with its moth-eaten rafters. In the little yards outside I greeted little tufts of grass and odd bits of stone as old friends. I was not alone in my cell, for several colonies of wasp and hornets lived there, and many lizards founds a home behind the rafters, emerging in the evening in search of prey.

We are very disappointed with the change in the date. It was a law enacted and approved by Parliament, which was supposed to benefit citizens. The delay in the deadline for digitization is more of a knee jerk reaction by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to its inability to resolve crucial differences between stakeholders. While broadcasters and DTH operators want the government to fast-track the process, local cable operators have asked for a further extension of introduction of the technology is done in a manner that creates a level playing field for all the stakeholders. A government mandated imposition of technology, in this instance, will benefit only a privileged few and deprive a large section of the population of the benefits of inexpensive cable TV.

Ryan Gosling, right? Except that when i clicked through. It was clear that these posts were from my same, lame no-name
friends who were simply jumping on the latest Facebook bandwagon. Yes, it is (or was as these things don’t exactly have strict
expiration dates) Celebrity doppelganger week on Facebook , during which people replace their profile picture with the celeb
they think they look most like them.
This is the operative word here. I love my friends, but trust me-it’s a motley crew that little resembles anyone casting directors would want to put in a feature film. But more disturbing than the creative liberties they took in choosing their twins is that, this is just the latest example of how my friends-and hundreds of thousands of people around the world-are susceptible to face book groupthink. These are grass-roots names that spread virally throughout the site, making them difficult to trace back to an origin with any certainty. The Huffington post published what appeared to be the transcript of an interview with Bob Patel, and IT worker who says his resemblance to Tom selleck prompted the start of Doppelganger Week. But the claim (and the transcript itself) is dubious-the article is even tagged as “satire,” but that hasn’t stopped blogs and news organizations from citing Patel as the instigator.

A dolphin is an aquatic mammal. Dolphins are extremely intelligent and sociable animals and have their own way to communicate with each other using special sounds. Although they are often mistaken for fish, dolphins are actually mammals. They are members of the Cetacea (pronounced set-ay-shia) family, which also contains whales and porpoises. One way of telling the difference between a cetacean and a fish is by looking at their tails. You can tell a cetacean because their tail fins (called flukes) are horizontal and move up and down. Fish have vertical tails which move from side to side. A dolphin’s body is designed to help them move quickly and easily through water. The dolphin’s fluke propels it through the water. On its back is a curved dorsal fin and on each side of the dolphin is a pectoral fin. The bump on a dolphins head is known as the melon. They trap their prey by using their teeth. Dolphins use a type of sonar to detect where objects are around them. This is called echolocation. Echolocation works when a dolphin bounces a high pitched sound off an object and then listens for the echo to come back. It is a very useful way for dolphins to find food and navigate. Dolphins communicate with each other through clicks, squeaks and whistles. They use these special sounds to greet each other and to indicate if they are in distress. Dolphins live in the sea, but they can’t breathe under water! They breathe through a blowhole and have to come up for air every 15 minutes.
