The ancient Harappan Civilization emerged, flourished and collapsed under a steadily weakening monsoon, according to new research findings, that scientists say, provide the strongest evidence yet to link its risk and fall to changing climate. A team of scientists has combined multiple sets of date to show that weakening monsoon and reduced river water initially stimulated intensive agriculture and urbanisation, but later precipitated the decline and collapse of the subcontinent's earliest cities. The scientist said their research also suggests that a larger river, summed to be the mythical Saraswati, which once watered the Harappan Civilization's heartland between the suggests it was a glacier fed river with origins in the Himalyas.

Q. What task the team of scientists was assigned to?
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow each passage. Your answer to these questions should be based on the passage only.
Every successful man fails at some time. Failure tells you about your weaknesses, shortcomings, lack of preparations, lack of efforts. So if you can manage to learn from it contributes to lasting success. Extract the lesson to learn from failure and try again with redoubled vigor. Facing failure makes one strong, more wise and more resolute, spurs them on to greatest efforts. There is not failure in truth, save from within; unless we are beaten there, We are bound to succeed. Failures not only tell us that we couldn't prepare ourselves up to the level of success and with more hard work. Failures are the stepping stones of success. Every successful man has failed, not once but several times, in their life, but they analyzed the things in real perspective and tried again with more vigor and zeal and achieved success.

1. We couldn't prepare ourselves up to the level of success

Q. What message does the author wants to convey to readers through this passage?
Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
Why doesn't the air remain still ? The reason is that air, when it becomes heated, becomes lighter, and it rises. When it rises, other air moves in to take its place. The temperature of air becomes like the surface of the earth over which it travels. Over dry land, the air can become very hot. Then, when the sun goes down, it cools off quickly. Over the water air heats up more slowly and cools off more slowly. These changes cause the movement of air,which we call wind.
Q. This passage is mainly about?
A new menace is cars-and worse, luxury Sedans and Sport Utility Vehicles(SUVs) which run on highly polluting diesel, and which now account for fully one-half of total car sales, up from under 30 percent a year ago. Although, growth of passenger vehicle sales has slowed down over the past year, the 20 year long trend of furious privatization of urban transport continue unabated. Private vehicles are choking roads, slowing down traffic-in particular public buses-and creating terrible jams and snarl ups in city after city. The introduction and rapid expansion of super expensive metro rail systems, which the poor cannot afford, have failed to slow down the runaway growth of private transport. There is little systematic effort except in a handful of cities to harvest rainwater and none at all at recycling water or curtailing its abuse by the rich through the flushing of wasteful toilets designed a century ago in Europe-even though water scarcity is acute and growing.
