UNRELATED THOUGHTS? NOT in America, where the health of the national economy is critically dependent on having all of us spend as much as we can to keep struggling retailers afloat, create jobs and generate capital. Consumption is such a vital part of the American economy it long ago superseded good old-fashioned manufacturing that the most closely watched economic indicator is something called consumer confidence, a vague notion that probably can't even be measured accurately. Whenever consumer confidence plunges, as it did after the great Internet bust of 2000 or after the September 11 attacks, government officials are sent scurrying to the airwaves to say there's no reason to panic so long as everyone does his patriotic duty and shops. Remember how New York's mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, responded when asked how Americans could help New York in the days just after the attacks? He didn't say, donate to the Red Cross, or Go to church and pray for our wounded city. He told them to come to New York and spend money.

Ecosystems function like intricate networks, where each organism plays a specific role, much like workers in a coordinated system. Understanding these roles and their relationships reveals the delicate balance that sustains life. Ecologists argue that analyzing these connections helps predict environmental changes and informs conservation strategies. Critics, however, caution that oversimplifying these relationships risks missing their complexity, potentially leading to flawed policies.

In a forest ecosystem, the
sun
is a power source, fueling plant growth.
Trees
act as architects, building habitats with their branches and roots stabilizing soil.
Herbivores
, like deer, are consumers, trimming vegetation to prevent overgrowth.
Predators
, such as wolves, are regulators, maintaining herbivore populations to protect plant life.
Decomposers
, like fungi, are recyclers, breaking down dead matter to replenish soil nutrients. Each role is interdependent, forming a web of relationships that ensures stability.

For example of a pond ecosystem:
Algae
serves as the power source, producing energy via photosynthesis.
Aquatic plants
are architects, providing structure and oxygen.
Fish
act as consumers, feeding on algae to control its spread.
Herons
are regulators, preying on fish to balance the system.
Bacteria
are recyclers, decomposing waste to enrich the water.

The relationships can be expressed as analogies: the sun is to trees as algae is to aquatic plants (power source to architect). Similarly, herbivores are to predators as fish are to herons (consumer to regulator). These analogies highlight functional similarities across ecosystems, aiding ecologists in comparing systems. However, critics argue that analogies may oversimplify unique interactions, such as a predator’s impact on soil health, which could lead to misinformed conservation efforts.

Consider Maya, an ecologist studying a grassland ecosystem. She identifies
grass
as the power source** and
bison
as consumers. To complete her analysis, she needs to map relationships using analogies based on the forest or pond models. For instance, what role in the grassland corresponds to wolves in the forest? Such questions test the ability to apply relational patterns while critically assessing the limits of analogical reasoning in complex systems.
Which pair completes the analogy:
Sun is to herbivores in the forest ecosystem as algae is to ____ in the pond ecosystem?

Fwsaogiri Daimary asked a question

The passage given below is followed by four summaries. Choose the option that best captures the author’ s position.
For each of the past three years, temperatures have hit peaks not seen since the birth of meteorology, and probably not for more than 110,000 years. The amount of carbon dioxide in the air is at its highest level in 4 million years. This does not cause storms like Harvey — there have always been storms and hurricanes along the Gulf of Mexico — but it makes them wetter and more powerful. As the seas warm, they evaporate more easily and provide energy to storm fronts. As the air above them warms, it holds more water vapour. For every half a degree Celsius in warming, there is about a 3% increase in atmospheric moisture content. Scientists call this the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. This means the skies fill more quickly and have more to dump. The storm surge was greater because sea levels have risen 20 cm as a result of more than 100 years of human- related global warming which has melted glaciers and thermally expanded the volume of seawater.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
As a six-year-old child-beggar, Saroo slept off in a stationary train in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh; however, when he woke up, he found himself in an empty compartment of a train thundering towards Kolkata where he spent a couple of weeks in a state of panic and hopelessness. Finally, he ended up in a local government adoption centre from where he was adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty five years later, Saroo felt the urge to trace his biological mother and see in what state she lived. Relentlessly, he used Google's satellite feature to map the parts of the country that could have possibly been his own hometown. The search was a long and arduous one; nevertheless, the perseverance did pay. One eventful day, he met his mother; thereafter, he continued to keep in touch with her.
If technology can unite people with their loved ones, it can also make them distant. The unlimited variety of applications (apps) available to toddlers, teenagers and adults might have revolutionized their lives for the better, but these very apps have snatched away the joys of long nature walks; they have encroached upon the time and space that people earlier used for physical interaction; they have drilled deep chasms of loneliness in the lives of countless numbers of people.
Simple pleasures of life include visiting friends and relatives, playing matches in open spaces, interacting with people in markets, public libraries and clubs. However, with the escalating rage of using apps like those for social media, playing virtual games, and home delivery services, these joyous moments are fading into oblivion, and the pall of loneliness is getting heavier by the day.
Where are we heading to? Are we going to allow ourselves to be swamped by apps? Are we going to allow social media to engulf us in a deluge of loneliness and isolation? Are we going to drive ourselves to situations that will ultimately demand mental and physical therapies to regain normalcy? do we not know that physical interaction is as essential for mental health as food and water is for physical health?
Earlier, social isolation was mostly experienced by some of the elderly people who were devoid of an occupation, and bereft of company of their loved ones. unfortunately today, an unhealthy solitude prevails among numerous children, teenagers and adults too; subsequently, there is an alarming increase in the demand for mental health therapy practitioners.
The necessity of engaging psychologists in schools and colleges is evidently on the rise. The psychologists are required to identify and address the learning and behavioral needs of students who approach them for guidance; moreover, if required, the professionals are expected to help them in strengthening their emotional, social and academic skills.
Regardless how alarming the situation might be, it is never too late. If people revert to the earlier trend of shopping off-line, going for nature walks, playing outdoors games, and catching up with friends in their homes or cafés more frequently, they can keep their heads firmly well above the ocean of loneliness.
Q. From the passage, it is evident that Saroo's desire to find his mother:

Saurabh Patel asked a question

Directions: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.
Five players — Jack, Will, Luke, Benjamin and Franklin —participated in an innovative game show on a slot machine. At the beginning of the game, the five players were asked to stand in a queue, one behind the other, facing the same direction. Whenever a dealer called any player to the slot machine, the player who was called by the dealer had to move to the front of the queue (irrespective of whether his get was correct or not) and the others moved back in the queue, without any other rearrangement. For example, if the third player in the queue was called by the dealer, he had to move to the first position and the players who were earlier in the first and second positions moved to the second and third positions, respectively, while the players in the fourth and fifth positions did not move. Also, exactly one player rolled the slot machine in each attempt. The game had a total of six attempts, and every jackpot hit was awarded 10 dollars and when jackpot was not hit, it carried a penalty of 5 dollars. It is known that no two players had the same number of dollars at the end of the game.
It is given that every player had same amount of money in their pocket before the start of the game. Further, the following information is known about their positions in the queue at various stages of the game:
(i) Jack was the only player to get two attempts consecutively and he did not get the first attempt.
(ii) During the fourth attempt, Will moved from a position behind Franklin to a position in front of him and during the fifth attempt, Luke moved from a position behind Jack to a position in front of him.
(iii) Benjamin who was initially (i.e. before the first attempt of the game) at the beginning of the queue moved to the last position in the queue by the end of the game.
(iv) The sum of the dollars received by the five players was zero and the player who rolled the slot machine in the last attempt won the game.
(v) The player who rolled the slot machine in the first attempt had the least number of dollars in the game.
(vi) Jack was further ahead in the queue at the end of the game than at the beginning.
Who stood first in the game?

Passage - 1
Griselda Blanco de Trujillo, in a plain white dress, with a rosary in her hand and a hole in her head, was laid to rest in the Jardines Montesacro, a posh cemetery on the southwestern extreme of Medellin. She was buried in a gold-finished coffin with a domed lid. Eight tough-looking young men, wearing sneakers, jeans, and sunglasses, carried it from the chapel to the grave site on their shoulders. Reporters had gathered to witness the end of La Madrina-"the Godmother"-as the Medellin newspapers had been calling Griselda since the 1970s. But they were warned, brusquely, not to approach closely or photograph the scene, even from a distance. They could only stand and marvel at the strange theatrics they were seeing. Some of the boys banged violently on the coffin, others smoked marijuana, and mourners cried "No te vayas, Tia!" and "La buena, Tia!" while a group of mariachis played and sang. 
The mourners had arrived in buses from Barrio Antioquia, the neighborhood where Griselda grew up, which remains a stubborn hive of vice and rosary in a rapidly pacifying, revitalizing city. They departed at dusk, leaving the grounds littered with their empty bottles of aguardiente, Colombia's ubiquitous anise liquor. Some three hundred feet away, in a lush family grave ringed by green marble and shaded by palms, lay Griselda's onetime friend and apprentice-and eventual mortal enemy-Pablo Escobar.
