Some UFO sightings cannot be explained easily. No one is able to explain them easily.


In the sentence "Some UFO sightings cannot be explained easily," the modal verb "cannot" is used to express impossibility or extreme difficulty in achieving something—in this case, the act of explaining certain UFO sightings. The nature of these sightings is often mysterious, lacking clear evidence, definitive characteristics, or reliable eyewitness accounts, which makes forming a logical, scientific explanation challenging.

**Cannot be explained**

UFO sightings have always been a topic of mystery and intrigue, captivating the attention of people worldwide. While many sightings can be attributed to natural phenomena or misidentified objects, there are cases that simply cannot be explained by conventional means. These unexplained sightings are often referred to as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where witnesses report seeing unidentified flying objects that exhibit characteristics and behavior beyond our current understanding.

**Multiple Witness Accounts**

One of the reasons why some UFO sightings cannot be explained is the presence of multiple witnesses who independently report the same or similar observations. When a significant number of people from different locations and backgrounds describe witnessing the same extraordinary event, it becomes difficult to dismiss their accounts as mere hallucinations or hoaxes. These collective testimonies increase the credibility and reliability of the sighting, making it harder to explain away.

**Advanced Technological Capabilities**

Another aspect that contributes to the inability to explain certain UFO sightings is the advanced technological capabilities demonstrated by these unidentified objects. Witnesses often describe UFOs maneuvering in ways that defy the known laws of physics, such as sudden changes in direction, incredible speeds, and instantaneous acceleration. These movements are far beyond the capabilities of any human-made aircraft, leading experts to speculate that these objects may possess technology that surpasses our current scientific understanding.

**Lack of Rational Explanations**

Despite extensive investigations and rigorous scientific examinations, some UFO sightings simply defy rational explanations. Experts and researchers exhaustively analyze all available data, including radar readings, photographs, videos, and eyewitness testimonies, in an attempt to identify and explain the observed phenomena. However, in certain cases, all conventional explanations fall short, leaving the experts puzzled and unable to provide a satisfactory answer.

**Possible Extraterrestrial Origins**

One of the most intriguing possibilities behind unexplained UFO sightings is their potential extraterrestrial origins. While this hypothesis is highly speculative, it cannot be completely ruled out. Given the vastness of the universe and the possibility of other intelligent civilizations, it is not unreasonable to consider the notion that some UFO sightings may be manifestations of advanced alien technology visiting or observing our planet. However, without concrete evidence, this remains purely speculative.

In conclusion, certain UFO sightings cannot be explained due to multiple witness accounts, the advanced technological capabilities exhibited by the objects, the lack of rational explanations, and the possibility of extraterrestrial origins. These cases continue to challenge our current understanding of the universe and serve as a reminder that there are phenomena that lie beyond the scope of our knowledge.

Directions: The passage below is followed by a question based on its content. Answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.I believe that the world-wide acclaim given to The Diary of Anne Frank and to the play and movie based on her story cannot be explained unless we recognize in it our wish to forget the gas chambers, and our effort to do so by glorifying the ability to retreat into an extremely private, gentle. sensitive world, and there to cling as much as possible to what have been ones usual daily attitudes and activities, although surrounded by a maelstrom apt to engulf one at any moment.The Frank familys attitude that life could be carried on as before may well have been what led to their destruction. By eulogizing how they lived in their hiding place while neglecting to examine first whether it was a reasonable or an effective choice, we are able to ignore the crucial lesson of their story- that such an attitude can be fatal in extreme circumstances.While the Franks were making their preparations for going passively into hiding, thousands of other Jews in Holland (as elsewhere in Europ e) were trying to escape to the free world, in order to survive and/or fight. Others who could not escape went underground - into hiding - each family member with, for example, a different gentile family. We gather from the diary, however, that the chief desire of the Frank family was to continue living as nearly as possible in the same fashion to which they had been accustomed in happier times.Little Anne, too, wanted only to go on with life as usual, and what else could she have done but fall in with the pattern her parents created for her existence ? But hers was not a necessary fate, much less a heroic one: it was a terrible but also a senseless fate. Anne had a good chance to survive, as did many Jewish children in Holland. But she would have had to leave her parents and go live with a gentile Dutch family, posing as their own child, something her parents would have had to arrange for her.Everyone who recognized the obvious knew that the hardest way to go underground was to do it as a family: to hide out together made detection by the SS most likely: and when detected, everybody was doomed. By hiding singly, even when one got caught, the others had a chance to survive. The Franks, with their excellent connections among gentile Dutch families, might well have been able to hide out singly, each with a different family. But instead, the main principle of their planning was continuing their beloved family life- an understandable desire, but highly unrealistic in those times. Choosing any other course would have meant not merely giving up living together but also realizing the lull measure of the danger to their lives.But even given their wish not to separate, they failed to make appropriate preparations for what was likely to happen.There is little doubt that the Franks, who were able to provide themselves with so much while arranging for going into hiding, and even while hiding, could have provided themselves with some weapons had they wished. Had they had a gun, Mr. Frank could have shot down at least one or two of the "green police" who came for them. There was no surplus of such police, and the loss of an SS with every Jew arrested would have noticeably hindered the functioning of the police state. The fate of the Franks wouldnt have been very different, because they all died anyway except for Annes father. But they could have sold their lives for a high price, instead walking to their death.An entirely different matter would have been planning for escape in case of discovery. The Franks hiding place had only one entrance: it did not have any other exit. Despite the fact, during their many months of hiding, they did not try to devise one. Nor did they make other plans for escape.Q.The author cites the example of the book "Diary of Anne Frank" to demonstrate that

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.You can tell yourself all you want that even the best of us makes a mistake now and then, but when you're the one who has made the mistake, it can be difficult to believe. Consider, for example, the fact that many Oscar-winning movies contain bloopers. In fact, the IMDB website regularly includes a list of goofs in acclaimed movies. Professional athletes often miss easy shots or kicks, newspaper headlines contain typos, and models trip on the runway. So why should you be perfect? In a recent comprehensive review of the literature on "failure, error, or mistakes," University of Leeds psychologist Judith Johnson and colleagues (2017) tried to understand why some people are able to easily brush off their errors, while others become preoccupied with them. From their work, you can understand how to transform yourself into one of the resilient.The basic framework underlying the Johnson et al. review is the Bi-dimensional Framework for investigating resilience (BDF), which proposes that risk and resilience are two separate dimensions. You can have a high-risk experience of making a mistake, such as using the wrong name for someone who you're supposed to know, but if you're high in the resilience dimension, you won't let that social gaffe get to you. Risks can befall anyone, then, but they will only have a negative outcome (making you anxious or depresse d) if you're low on that resilience factor. The Leeds research team went on, in their review of relevant studies, to examine whether, and how much, psychological factors could confer resilience in people who fail or make mistakes.After meticulously distilling over 8,300 possible studies down into 38 papers with 46 different studies, Johnson and her collaborators attempted to identify those key psychological resilience ingredients. Most of the studies had used an experimental paradigm in which participants were given tasks too difficult to complete, ensuring that they would indeed experience failure. The most common of these tasks used the "Remote Associates Task" (i.e. "RAT") where participants guess a target word from three other words rigged to be hard or easy. Other tasks supposedly measured intelligence or involved giving participants unsolvable anagrams.Now that you get the sense of how failure can be defined experimentally, let's see what those protective factors looked like. As it turns out, resilience could be boiled down into 3 very clear components: high self-esteem, a tendency to attribute success to one's personal qualities and failure to outside circumstances, and lower levels of perfectionism. Contrary to what you might expect, feelings of self-worth regarding academic ability did not predict resilience, nor did the personality trait of being able to suppress emotions. High self-esteem means that you regard yourself in a positive manner, not overly boastful or grandiose, but pleased with who you are in an overall sense. Examples of self-esteem questions from one frequently used scale include: "On the whole, I am satisfied with myself," "I am able to do things about as well as other people," and "I feel I have a number of good qualities."Q. Under what condition does risk enable having a negative outcome?

Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questionsThe last ice age has left its telltales written quite clearly across the landscape. When Louis Agassiz first promulgated his theory that ice had once covered the Swiss countryside, he looked to the valleys there that retain glaciers to this day. Like other observers, he noted the presence of strange boulders, called "erratics, " tossed down in valleys like flotsam after a flood had drained away. He saw the strange polish along the bedrock—a sheen imparted as if by some massive swipe of sandpaper; he saw the debris of rocks and boulders fringing the margin of existing glaciers. He saw what can be seen still, markings in stone that indicated that ice once flowed over vast stretches of land now clear and verdant.The first great glaciations must have scored the earth as deeply in their turn, and, in principle, we ought to be able to track the history of the early ice ages by following the same reasoning Agassiz used to persuade himself and his contemporaries that ice once covered the earth. But the marks left by these earlier glaciations are quite subtle, tracks turned ghostly with great age. There are, however, telltale deposits of ancient rocks that strongly suggest that they had been ground together and laid down by the spread of ice.The Australian climate historian L.A. Frakes has prospected through various theories proposed to account for those early ice ages. He isn't terribly enthusiastic about any of the possible culprits, but his choice for the least unlikely of them all emerges out of the recent revival of what was once a radically unorthodox idea: that continents drift over the face of the planet. Frakes argues that the glaciers originated at sites near the poles and that the ice ages began because the continents of the early earth had drifted to positions that took more and more of their land nearer to the polar regions.More land near the poles meant that more precipitation fell as snow and could be compacted on land to form glaciers. With enough glaciers, the increase in the amount of sunlight reflected back into space off the glistening white sheen of the ice effectively reduced the amount by which the sun warmed the earth, creating the feedback loop by which the growth of glaciers encouraged the growth of more glaciers. Rocks have been found in North America, Africa and Australia whose ages appear to hover around the 2.3 billion—year—old mark. That date and their spread are vague enough, however, to make it almost impossible to determine just how much of the earth was icebound during the possible range of time in which each of the glacial deposits was formed.Uncertainties about both the timing and the extent of these glaciers also muddy the search for the cause of the ancient ice ages. The record is so spotty that geologists are not sure whether areas near the equator or nearer the poles were the coolest places on earth. It's also possible that volcanic eruptions had tossed enough dust into the atmosphere to screen out sunlight and cool the earth. While some of the glacial records in the rocks do indeed contain evidence of volcanic activity prior to the buildup of glacial debris, others do not.Such traces are the currency of science—data—and like money, a richness of data both buys you some credibility and ties you down, eliminating at least some theoretically plausible explanations. For this early period, theorists have come up with a variety of ideas to explain the ancient ice ages, all elegant and mostly immune to both proof and criticism. For example, a change in the earth's orbit could have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching the planet. However, the only physical signature of such an event that would show in the rocks would be the marks of the glaciers themselves.Q. Based on the passage, with which of the following statements would the author most likely NOT disagree?

The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.With many other souls as his companions Er had come across an awesome place with four openings, two into and out of the sky and two into and out of the earth. Judges sat between these openings and ordered the souls which path to follow: the good were guided into the path in the sky, the immoral were directed below. But when Er approached the judges he was told to remain, listening and observing in order to report his experience to humankind.Meanwhile from the other opening in the sky, clean souls floated down, recounting beautiful sights and wondrous feelings. Others, returning from the earth, appeared dirty, haggard and tired, crying in despair when recounting their awful experience, as each was required to pay a tenfold penalty for all the wicked deeds committed when alive. There were some, however, that could not be released from the underground. Murderers, tyrants and other non-political criminals were doomed to remain by the exit of the underground, unable to escape. After seven days in the meadow the souls and Er were required to travel further. After four days they reached a place where they could see a rainbow shaft of light brighter than any they had seen before. After another days travel they reached it. This was the spindle of Necessity which represents the cosmos. Several women, including Lady Necessity, her daughters and the Sirens were present. The souls were then organized into rows and were each given a lottery token apart from Er. Then of their lottery tokens, they were required to come forward in order and choose their next life. Er recalled the first to choose a new soul, a man who had not known the terrors of the underground, but had been rewarded in the sky, hastily chose a powerful dictatorship. Upon further inspection he realized that, among other atrocities, he was destined to eat his own children. Er observed that this was often the case of those who had been through the path in the sky, whereas those who had been punished often chose a better life. Many preferred a life different from their previous experience. Animals chose human lives while humans often chose the apparently easier lives of animals.After this each soul was assigned a deity to help them through their life. They passed under the throne of Lady Necessity, and then traveled to the Plain of Oblivion, where the River of Forgetfulness (River Leth e) flowed. Each soul was required to drink some of the water, in varying quantities, apart from Er. As they drank, each soul forgot everything. As they lay down at night to sleep each soul was lifted up into the night in various directions for rebirth, completing their journey. Er remembered nothing of the journey back to his body. He opened his eyes to find himself lying on the funeral pyre, early in the morning, and able to recall his journey through the afterlife.Q. Which of the following is true as per the passage?

The following question consists of a certain number of sentences. Some sentences are grammatically incorrect or inappropriate. Identify the number of sentences that are grammatically incorrect.1. Their only homes were rude huts which they could put up or tear down at very short notice; and so when they heard of more fertile lands across the mountains to the south, they used to pull up stakes and migrate in a body, never to return.2. It was always the more savage and uncivilized people who were most likely to migrate.3. The other tribes were more civilized and peaceful, having gradually turned to trade and agriculture from their former habits of hunting and fighting.4. Sometimes these more civilized and peace-loving people were able, at their better weapons and superior knowledge of the art of fortifying, to beat back the invasion of the immigrating barbarians.5. Oftener, though, the rougher, ruder tribes were the victors, and settled down among the people they had conquered, to rule them, doing no work themselves, but forcing the conquered ones to feed and cloth them. Correct answer is '2'. Can you explain this answer?
