Directions : Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
Aimee had a painful childhood. She was born in 1975 with no shin bones. The doctors therfore had to amputate both her legs so that she would be able to walk later in life. Unfortunately, she had to undergo a number of surgeries at the age of two, five and eight, and had to spend a long time in a hospital. Aimee grew up with artificial legs. Her mother, however, treated her as a self-sufficient person who did not require any special treatment. She was gradually able to learn how to move and run, and even play various sports like softball and go swimming, hiking and skiing.
When she was in high school, Aimee discovered her passion for athletics. Towards the end of high school, she participated in the Boston track and field meet for the disabled. On arriving in Boston, she was surprised to discover that she was the only athlete wearing wooden legs. The rest of the athletes had metal, shock-absorbent legs that she didn't even know existed. Not to mention that all the other athletes had at least one normal leg. This fact did not shake her determination; instead it made her push herself harder to succeed. And succeed she did - she not only won, she also broke a national record in doing so. She decided to enter the long jump competition next, an event that double amputees were technically 'not supposed' to enter. A year later, she broke the world record in it.
Aimee was not happy with the way prosthetic legs were designed. So she invited innovators to combine science and art, and design unconventional prosthetic legs. She was soon wearing cheetah legs, handcrafted wooden legs, jellyfish legs and many more. She now began getting invitations from different parts of the world to talk about her life story and designer legs. The fashion and beauty industry took note of Aimee's talent and beauty and asked her to model for, or endorse beauty products. Today she is a global model for a leading brand of cosmetics.
When Aimee began to use designer legs, she caught the attention of ____________.

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle facing the centre. B is third to the right of F and third to the left of H. C is fourth to the left of A, who is not an immediate neighbour of F or B. E is not an immediate neighbour of B. G is second to the right of D.
Which of the following pairs represents the immediate neighbours of F?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: CE
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix B; F sits three to B’s left and H three to B’s right. A may touch neither F nor B, which leaves A only one seat, and C sits opposite her. G, with D two seats to G’s left, then fits in one way only, and E takes the last seat, clear of B as required. Clockwise the circle reads B → D → C → F → E → H → A → G.
F sits with C on one side and E on the other, so those two are his neighbours. H and D are each two seats away.

Choose the most appropriate meaning of the given underlined phrases/idioms.
He was a king who ruled his subjects with a high hand.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
With a high hand means oppressively.
To act with a high hand (or in a high-handed way) is to use power arrogantly and without regard for others' rights or feelings. A king who ruled his subjects with a high hand was harsh and overbearing.
Kindly and sympathetically are the opposite of the idiom's meaning. Conveniently describes what suits someone's comfort or purpose and says nothing about harshness, so it misses the sense of arrogant, oppressive rule.

When Aimee began to use designer legs, she caught the attention of ____________.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
When she began to use designer legs she attracted the fashion and beauty industry.
The last paragraph says: 'The fashion and beauty industry took note of Aimee's talent and beauty and asked her to model for, or endorse beauty products.' It adds that she is now a global model for a leading cosmetics brand.
Designers were the people she invited to make the legs, so they were not the ones drawn in afterwards. Sports committees and photographers are not mentioned.

Neither the players nor the coach were satisfied with the result.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: was
With neither…nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it. The nearer subject here is the coach, singular, so the verb is was. This proximity rule applies equally to either…or, not only…but also, and two subjects joined by or. Reversing the order reverses the answer: Neither the coach nor the players were satisfied is equally correct, and the examiner has deliberately put the plural first. Careful writers place the plural nearer the verb for that reason, since a singular verb after a plural noun grates even when it is right. Keep this apart from neither of, which is always singular because the subject is neither itself: neither of the players was satisfied. The rule does not touch and, which always makes a plural, nor the parenthetical as well as, which leaves the number unchanged.

Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power.
The basis of 'an idyllic and rural paradise' is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Self sufficiency in food clothes and simplicity of the lifestyle
The passage defines the paradise by what Gandhi wanted villagers taught: to be self-sufficient in food, to weave their own cloth from cotton, and to turn away from the century's temptations. Industrialisation and the glittering prizes are exactly what the vision excludes.
Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate modal.
You ______ have asked me before you ate my lunch.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The modal is should.
'Should have' followed by a past participle expresses a past duty that was not carried out, often as a reproach: 'You should have asked me before you ate my lunch' means asking was the right thing to do, and you did not do it.
'Can have asked' is not idiomatic in this sense. 'Ought' needs 'to' ('ought to have asked'), so 'ought have' is ungrammatical. 'Will have asked' expresses a future completed action or an assumption, not a missed obligation.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It is admissible.
One d, two s's, and -ible rather than -able. Words from Latin verbs of the third and fourth conjugations, like mittere, generally take -ible.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 12 ] :
Which of the following statements regarding the term ICT is/are true ?
P : ICT is an acronym that stands for Indian Classical Technology.
Q : Converging technologies that exemplify ICT include the merging of audio-visual, telephone and computer networks through a common cabling system.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The answer is Q only.
ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology, not Indian Classical Technology, so statement P is false.
Statement Q is true: ICT stresses the convergence of telecommunications and computing, and a standard example is merging audio-visual, telephone and computer networks into a single cabling and link system. That rules out the options accepting P.
What is the full form of "JPEG"?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Joint Photographic Experts Group
JPEG is named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group, the committee that produced the standard. It is lossy compression, which is why repeated saving degrades a photograph.
Which of the following is not the part of standard office suite?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: File manager
An office suite normally contains a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation program, a database and often an image editor. A file manager is part of the operating system rather than of the suite.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 13 To 20 ] :
The percentage of earth surface covered by India is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
India covers about 2.4 per cent of the earth's land surface.
With an area of about 3.287 million sq km, India is the seventh largest country in the world and holds about 2.4 per cent of the world's land area, while supporting about 17-18 per cent of its population.
3.4, 4.4 and 5.4 per cent are too large. The question says 'earth surface', meaning its land area; India's share of the whole surface including oceans would be much smaller still.
Name the author of 'Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan'.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The author is Col. James Tod.
James Tod served as the East India Company's Political Agent to the western Rajput states from 1818 and drew on bardic chronicles, inscriptions and his own travels to write Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, published in two volumes in 1829 and 1832. It remains the best known early history of the Rajput states, and the name 'Rajasthan' was popularised by it.
V.A. Smith wrote The Early History of India, and George Thomas was an Irish adventurer who carved out a principality in Haryana around 1800. None of the others wrote the Annals.
