To people with autism and Asperger syndrome the world can appear chaotic with no clear boundaries, order or meaning. These disorders can vary from very mild, where the person can function almost as well as anyone else around them, to so severe that they are completely unable to take part in normal society. People with autism are usually more severely disabled, while those with Asperger syndrome tend to be more able, although this isn’t always so.
Because of the range of severity and symptoms the conditions are collectively known as autistic spectrum disorders. People with Asperger syndrome are usually more mildly affected than those with autism. In fact, many people with milder symptoms are never diagnosed at all, and some argue that Asperger syndrome is simply a variation of normal rather than a medical condition or disorder. Even so, many do find that it gives them particular problems getting on in the world and they may become aware they are different from others. This can result in isolation, confusion, depression and other difficulties, all of which could be defined as ‘disease’.
Some children with Asperger syndrome manage in mainstream schools especially if extra support is available. However, even when children cope well academically, they may have problems socialising and are likely to suffer teasing or bullying. More severely affected children need the specialist help provided by schools for children with learning disabilities. With the right sort of support and encouragement, many with Asperger syndrome can lead a relatively normal life. Helping them develop some insight into the condition is an important step towards adjusting to, or at least coping with, the way the rest of the world works.
Some do very well, especially in an environment or job where they can use their particular talents. Autism tends to produce more severe symptoms. For example, a child with autism may fail to develop normal speech and as many as 75 per cent of people with autism have accompanying learning disabilities. Seizures are also a common problem, affecting between 15 and 30 per cent of those with autism. Conversely, autistic children are sometimes found to have an exceptional skill, such as an aptitude for drawing, mathematics, or playing a musical instrument.
Q.
Carefully read the statements in the questions below and arrange them in a logical order.
1. “No,” retorted the guy, “but my father did, often.”
2. The first emperor, Augustus, even managed to stomach jokes about that touchiest of Roman topics, his own paternity.
3. Few members of the Roman elite would have batted an eyelid at the idea of some grand paterfamilias impregnating a passing provincial woman.
4. In Rome laughter entailed, for a start, being a sport when it came to taking a joke, especially from the plebs.
5. Told that some young man from the provinces was in Rome who was his spitting image, the emperor had him tracked down, “Tell me,” Augustus asked, “did your mother ever come to Rome?”

Verified Answer
A passage is followed by questions pertaining to the passage. Read the...
The sequence pertains to the cultural values of Rome with regard to laughter by giving the example of Augustus. Among the statements presented as potential sequence starters - statement 3 and statement 4, only statement 4 is capable of providing reference to the rest of the statements. Statement 3 with “...the idea of some grand paterfamilias impregnating a passing provincial woman.” can only work so as to support an instance mentioned in one of the other statements.
Given that statement 4 starts with a generalized claim, it ought to be followed by an example that can substantiate it. Statement 2 follows by discussing how Augustus could stomach jokes on a topic as sensitive as his paternity. Statement 2 has to be placed before(not immediately before) statement 3 in-order for the sequence to be logical. The “...grand paterfamilias...” mentioned in 3 discuss the likes of Augustus.
Statements 5 and 1 further substantiate how “...laughter entailed...being a sport when it came to taking a joke...”. Though statements 5 and 1 appear to form a very obvious link as 1 pertains to the question asked in 5, the placement of statement 3 between 5 and 1 serves to provide some background of what the scenario in Rome was.
Hence, the correct sequence is 42531. Option 3

These sentences, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Choose the most logical order of sentences from the options.1. Its true enough to say that Ives wrote music about music, but truer to say that Ives wrote about music-making - social events, church services, parties - any kind of event in which music is a conduit for communal epiphany, release, or outpouring.2. One famous example is the last movement of the Second Orchestral Set, where Ives remembers an accidental catharsis: shortly after the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, crowds on a train platform joining along with a hurdy-gurdy to sing In the Sweet Bye and Bye.3. Humor has a complicated place in the value system of classical music, and for many Ivess broad wit is a failing.4. The moment when everyone arrives together singing the tune is thrilling, but even more moving is the aftermath, the trailing-off, the hurdy-gurdy continuing to play, winding down slowly but surely - Ives devotes a great deal of love to the unclean finish.5. But his slapstick pastiches and his most affecting testaments share a common urge: to recreate the messiness of human experience.

Of these, four sentences need to be arranged in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph/passage. Pick out the sentence that does not fit the sequence.1. Studies show that organizations which take leadership development seriously outperform their competition.2. This holds greater truth today when leaders in this cyber age find themselves under greater (and increasing) pressures from globalization.3. Ultimately leaders need to get out of their functional silo to be able to get the best out of people.4. Twenty-five years ago, very little attention was being paid to the idiosyncrasies and irrational processes that make up individual behavior.5. Corporations and business schools were preoccupied with models of the rational economic man, not realizing that executives are everything but rational decision makers.

Policymakers have struggled to balance the benefits of innovation with the need to address safety concerns2. The latest techniques allow types of genetic modification that fall outside of existing regulatory frameworks, and in some cases are deliberately designed to circumvent them.3. There is a longstanding tension between innovation and regulation in genetic engineering4. But with recent advances - most notably the discovery of the gene-targeting and genecutting molecular machinery known as CRISPR-Cas9 - the tension has begun to snap5. Animal and crop genetic engineering is heading quickly towards gene editing, not just because of its speed and creative power but also because its developers recognise loopholes in oversight in regulatory norms.

Can you explain this answer? defined & explained in the simplest way possible. Besides giving the explanation of A passage is followed by questions pertaining to the passage. Read the passage and answer the questions. Choose the most appropriate answer.To people with autism and Asperger syndrome the world can appear chaotic with no clear boundaries, order or meaning. These disorders can vary from very mild, where the person can function almost as well as anyone else around them, to so severe that they are completely unable to take part in normal society. People with autism are usually more severely disabled, while those with Asperger syndrome tend to be more able, although this isn’t always so.Because of the range of severity and symptoms the conditions are collectively known as autistic spectrum disorders. People with Asperger syndrome are usually more mildly affected than those with autism. In fact, many people with milder symptoms are never diagnosed at all, and some argue that Asperger syndrome is simply a variation of normal rather than a medical condition or disorder. Even so, many do find that it gives them particular problems getting on in the world and they may become aware they are different from others. This can result in isolation, confusion, depression and other difficulties, all of which could be defined as ‘disease’.Some children with Asperger syndrome manage in mainstream schools especially if extra support is available. However, even when children cope well academically, they may have problems socialising and are likely to suffer teasing or bullying. More severely affected children need the specialist help provided by schools for children with learning disabilities. With the right sort of support and encouragement, many with Asperger syndrome can lead a relatively normal life.
