The occurrence of prostate cancer is an emerging problem. Prostate cancer can be detected by measuring the level of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in blood, but the test is not sensitive enough to (21) ____low-risk cancer from the aggressive ones, often leading to overtreatment.

Two compounds — spermine and spermidine — may help better detection of prostate cancer, especially in (22) ____ranges. They play a key role in cell growth and development and are found in body fluids such as blood and urine.

Their levels rise in cancer patients, so by measuring them, a more accurate test can be derived.

Indian researchers have developed a cost-effective hybrid gel sensor that could (23) ____be used to detect the elevated levels of spermine in blood and urine. The material in the gel glows by fluorescence (24) ____in the presence of high spermine levels.

For making the fluorescent material, researchers used simple mechano-chemical grinding in a mortar and pestle in the presence of methanol and (25) ____it in an agarose gel matrix with subsequent heating and cooling.

Directions: In the below question a paragraph is given with five words highlighted. Choose the best replacement for those words from the given options. If the highlighted word is correct as it is then choose “No replacement is required” as your option.

Although it is commonly believed that the volume, diversity, geographical scope, and overall complexity of international migration have increased as part of globalization processes, this idea has remained largely unabated. The recently released article analyzes shifts in global migration patterns between 1960 and 2000 using indices that analyses capture changes in the spread, distance, and intensity of migration. While the results challenge the idea that there has been a global increase in volume, diversity, and geographical scope of migration, main migratory shifts have been directional. Migration has globalized from a different country perspective but hardly from an origin country perspective, with migrants from an increasingly diverse array of non‐European‐origin countries concentrating in a shrinking pool of prime destination countries. The global migration map has thus become more intrigued. Rather than refuting the globalization of migration hypothesis, this seems to reflect the asymmetric nature of globalization processes in general.

Q. Which of the following would replace the word “unabated”?

(i) encouraged (ii) untested(iii) named
