1126 . Read the following passage and answer the Increasing every year questions: Forests are an important part of civilization. They not only form a considerable portion of the national wealth of a country, but also play an important role in maintaining the environmental balance. Indiscriminate felling of trees to enhance city areas is a threat to our civilization. We often forget that a peaceful and well-balanced co- existence of man-made civilization and nature is absolutely important for human existence on the earth. Indiscriminate felling of trees makes our planet less green and threatens the wildlife. Forests and trees have an enormous impact on the climate as they are instrumental in drawing rain to the earth. Deforestation has resulted in radical changes in our climate. The overall temperature of the planet is increasing at an alarming rate. The duration of seasons is fluctuating all over the world. The rate of rainfall is becoming erratic. The future of this planet is in trouble unless immediate attention is paid to this danger. According to the passage, the temperature of the world is:
  • A. Increasing in a disturbing way
  • B. Increasing every year
  • C. Decreasing every year
  • D. Increasing only in the Polar Regions

1128 . Read the following passage and answer questions An alloy is a substance that is formed by combining a metal with other metals, or nonmetals. For example, brass is an alloy of the metals copper and zinc, and steel is alloy of the metal iron with the nonmetal carbon. The special characteristics of metals, such as hardness, strength, flexibility, and weight are called its properties. By the process of alloying it is possible to create materials with the exact combinations of properties for particular use. In the aircraft industry, there is a need for metals that are both strong and light. Steel is strong but too heavy, whereas aluminum is light but not strong. By mixing aluminum with copper and other metals, an alloy is created that is strong to withstand the stresses of flight, but light enough to reduce the cost of fuel to lift the aircraft. There is an important difference between the alloys created by us and the combination of metals that occur accidentally as impure metals.. Both are mixtures, but alloys are mixtures that have been deliberately combined in specific proportions for definite purpose. What is an alloy?
  • A. Metals melted in liquid form.
  • B. Industrial meterials which are not very good
  • C. A planned combination of materials for a specifice purpose.
  • D. Impure materials that occur accidentally.

1133 . Rabindranath Tagore, an unparalleled worshiper of beauty,pursues beauty not extrinsically but essentially introspectively, ‘and the sense of beauty appears in his conception as a living,  dynamic force. As the spring of beauty is heart, his quest for beauty is chiefly in the heart's Eden. He searches for the basis of the budding beauty of creation within himself and finds an indomitable force within himself. However, as human creativity is dependent upon forces from the phenomenal :world, unless and until its motivated by something in this world or universal life that generates human capacity to:appreciate beauty, the human mind cannot succeed in appreciating it. Tagore’s quest for beauty, in such a case, is stirred by his wonderful experiences with nature. The word or nature quivering inside the poet's heart leads him to search ,beauty in the outer world. It appeals to him both an account ‘or its purer beauty and the sensuous beauty of the most commonplace objects. . The way tagore pursue beauty is-
  • A. extricsic
  • B. restropective
  • C. refletive
  • D. essential

1135 . One phase of the business cycle is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is an ever-growing expansion of existing facilities and new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older one expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever increasing optimism about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or "heavy" industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other parts are affected. For example. a great expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel. glass and rubber industries. Roads are required: thus the icemen: and machinery industries are stimulated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials, including farmers. This increases purchasing power and the volume of goods aught and sold. Thus prosperity is diffused among the various sezments of the population. This prosperity period may continue to and rise without an apparent end. However. this reaches a peak and stops spiral in upwards. This is the expansion phase. ; The best title of the passage would be:
  • A. The Business Cycle
  • B. The Recovery Stage
  • C. An Expanding Society
  • D. The Period of Good Times

1138 . Influenza, or flu, is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. The flu virus is highly contagious: when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks, respiratory droplets are generated and transmitted into the air, and can then be inhaled by anyone nearby. Additionally, a person who touches something with the virus on it and then touches his or her mouth, eyes or nose can become infected. Before COVID-19, the most severe pandemic in recent history was the 1918 influenza virus, often called "the Spanish Flu". The virus infected roughly 500 million people - one-third of the world's population - and caused SO million deaths worldwide (double the number of deaths in World War I). In the United States, a quarter of the population caught the virus, 675,000 died, and life expectancy dropped by 12 years. With no vaccine to protect against the virus, people were urged to isolate, quarantine, practice good personal hygiene, and limit social interaction. The first observations of illness and mortality were documented in the United States (in Kansas) in March 1918 and then in April in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. To maintain morale, World War I censor minimized these early reports. Newspapers were free to report the epidemic'seffects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name "Spanish Flu". Until February 2020, the 1918 epidemic was largely overlooked in the teaching of American history, despite the ample documentation at the National Archives and elsewhere of the disease and its devastation. The 100-year-old pictures from 1918 that just months ago seemed quaint and dated now seem oddly prescient. The phrase 'hard hit'in line 18 means -
  • A. to his strongly
  • B. to heat very hard
  • C. to hardly suffer
  • D. to be adversely affected
