SECTION-A : VERBAL ABILITY IN ENGLISH
DIRECTIONS (Qs. 1 - 4) : Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it:
Over four hundred years after his death, scholars are still
travelling the mysteries of Michelangelo's art. Recently one
mystery that was revealed was that his famous drawing of a
pensive Cleopatra included a hidden drawing of a different
Cleopatra on the reverse side. This hidden Cleopatra shows a
tormented woman, whose eyes stare out at the viewer and whose
mouth is open, screaming in horror. The two images, drawn on
two sides of the same paper, can be viewed simultaneously. A
second mystery concerns Michelagelo's architectural plan for
the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Did he intend for the
dome to look like the model he built between 1558 and 1561 ? Or
did he change his mind after building the model and decide to
elevate the dome in the way it is today? Scholars do not agree on
the answer. A third mystery about one of the greatest artists who
ever lived was why he destroyed hundreds or thousands of his
drawings before he died. Did he feel they were unimportant? Did
he want posterity to see only his finished products?

DIRECTIONS (Qs. 1 - 4) : Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it:
Over four hundred years after his death, scholars are still
travelling the mysteries of Michelangelo's art. Recently one
mystery that was revealed was that his famous drawing of a
pensive Cleopatra included a hidden drawing of a different
Cleopatra on the reverse side. This hidden Cleopatra shows a
tormented woman, whose eyes stare out at the viewer and whose
mouth is open, screaming in horror. The two images, drawn on
two sides of the same paper, can be viewed simultaneously. A
second mystery concerns Michelagelo's architectural plan for
the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Did he intend for the
dome to look like the model he built between 1558 and 1561 ? Or
did he change his mind after building the model and decide to
elevate the dome in the way it is today? Scholars do not agree on
the answer. A third mystery about one of the greatest artists who
ever lived was why he destroyed hundreds or thousands of his
drawings before he died. Did he feel they were unimportant? Did
he want posterity to see only his finished products?
1. The dome of St. Peter's Basilica:
(a) bears no relation to the one in the model
(b) was destroyed after the model was built

travelling the mysteries of Michelangelo's art. Recently one
mystery that was revealed was that his famous drawing of a
pensive Cleopatra included a hidden drawing of a different

mouth is open, screaming in horror. The two images, drawn on
two sides of the same paper, can be viewed simultaneously. A
second mystery concerns Michelagelo's architectural plan for
the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Did he intend for the
dome to look like the model he built between 1558 and 1561 ? Or
did he change his mind after building the model and decide to
elevate the dome in the way it is today? Scholars do not agree on
the answer. A third mystery about one of the greatest artists who
ever lived was why he destroyed hundreds or thousands of his
drawings before he died. Did he feel they were unimportant? Did
