Read the passage given below and answer the questions
Passage –1

In its more extreme forms persecution mania is a recognized form of insanity. Some people imagine that others wish to kill them, or imprison them, or to do them some other grave injury. Often the wish to protect themselves against imaginary persecutors leads them into acts of violence which make it necessary to restrain their liberty. This, like many other forms of insanity, is only an exaggeration of a tendency not at all uncommon among people who count as normal. I do not propose to discuss the extreme forms, which are a matter for a psychiatrist. It is the milder forms that I wish to consider, because they are a very frequent cause of unhappiness, and because, not having gone so far as toe produce definite insanity, they are still capable of being dealt with by the patient himself, provided he can be induced to diagnose the trouble rightly and to see that its origin lies within himself and not in the supposed hostility or unkindness of others.
We are all familiar with the type of person, man or woman, who according to his own account, is perpetually the victim of ingratitude, unkindness, and treachery. People of this kind are often extraordinarily plausible, and secure warm sympathy from those who have not known them long, There is, as a rule, nothing inherently improbable about each separate story that they relate. The kind of ill-treatment of which they complain does undoubtedly sometimes occur. What in the end rouses the hearer’s suspicions is the multiplicity of villains whom it has been the sufferer’s ill-fortune to meet with.
In accordance with the doctrine of probability, different people living in a given society are likely in the course of their lives to meet with about the same amount of bad treatment. Of one person in a given set receives, according to his own account, universal ill-treatment, the likelihood is that the cause lies in himself, and that the either imagines injuries from which in fact he has not suffered, or unconsciously behaves in such a way as to arouse uncontrollable irritation. Experienced people therefore becomes suspicious of those who by their own account are invariable ill-treated by the world; they tend, by their lack of sympathy, to confirm these unfortunate people in the view that everyone is against them. The trouble, in fact is a difficult one to deal with, since it is inflamed alike by sympathy and by lack of sympathy. The person inclined to persecution mania, when he finds a hard-luck story believed, will embellish it until he reaches the frontier of credibility; when, on the other had, he finds it disbelieved, he has merely another example of the peculiar hard-heartedness, and this understanding , and this understanding must be conveyed to the patient if its is to serve its purpose.
176. Persecution mania is
a form of temporary insanity.
an exaggerated form of insanity.
in its more extreme forms, an incurable form of insanity
none of the above.
177. The liberty of a person suffering from extreme persecution mania has to restrained because
his ills are imaginary he might turn violent he is insane none of these.
178. The author would seem to suggest that
persecution is present in most normal people.
like persecution, many other forms of insanity quite uncommon in many normal people.
[1] & [2]
in a milder form, many forms of insanity are common among normal people.
179. The author feels that the milder variety of persecution mania can be dealt with by the patient himself because
his affliction has not so far produced definite insanity.
he can induce himself to diagnose his trouble rightly.
he can realize that the origin of his disease lies in himself.
[2] & [3].
180. All the following facts, about people suffering from mild persecution mania are true, except that
they are apparently reasonable.
there is nothing improbable about the stories they tell.
the kind of ill-treatments they complain of do sometimes occur.
they get warm sympathy from those who have known them for long.
Passage – 2
After singing for their supper, bees sleep soundly. When they hover around, sucking fluid from hibiscus flowers during the day, their wings beat about 60 times a second.
An expenditure led by Dr.John Joseph from the University of Aarhus in Denmark went to Brazil to see how bees manage their energy supplies. It concentrated on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa, 500 kilometers north of Rio de Janeiro.
The park boasts of 3,200 wild bees from 15 species, including the tiny Lophornis Magnifica, whose name refers to its green, red, and white plumange rather than its size. Its body would fir onto this paragraph with room to spare.
They found that a hovering ten-gram bees used about half a liter of oxygen every hour. In terms of oxygen per gram, that is about ten times the amount an energetic person might use up in the same time. To pump all this oxygen around its body a bees’ heartbeat has to be high – about 1,440 beats per minute, compared to around 110 for an exercising human. The oxygen is used to burn up food, making the energy that keeps the bird warm and powers its wings. Eating lets it hover, and hovering lets it eat.
During the day such an energetic metabolism keeps a bees’ body temperature at about 40° c. But the bees cannot store enough food in their tiny bodies to keep their temperature that high all night. So, at night L. Magnifica slows its metabolism enough to cut its body temperature by 20-30° c. It may breathe around 50-100 times less oxygen than during the day, which means that it uses by 50-100 times less food. It works well, but it does mean that waking up is hard to do.
Dr. Joseph found that the bees uses almost as much oxygen shivering itself awake in the morning as it does when hovering. It takes the bees about 15-20 minutes to raise its temperature back up to is day-time level – all the time using up energy. With only small food reserves, the bees – especially small ones like L. Magnifica – sometimes get only one chance to wake up. If they nod off again, they sleep the sleep of the dead.

181. Which of the following statement is false?
There are only 15 species of the bees in the world.
Of the bees found on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa, Lophornis magnifica is one of the tiniest.
The bees survive on fluid from flowers.
The name Lophornis magnifica does not refer to the size of the bee.
182. The bees needs to maintain a high rate of heart beat
to send the abnormally high amount of oxygen round its body.
to digest food.
to generate energy.
to keep itself warm.
183. Which of the following statements is false?
The less the weight of a bees, the greater are its chances of dying in its torpor.
A normal human being needs less than a half a litre of oxygen per hour.
The task of the expedition led by Dr-Joseph was to examine how bees managed their energy supplies.
184. Which of the following statements is true ?
The bees eats while it hovers.
In order to keep its night temperature low the bees eats little at night.
Eating gives the bees energy to hover and hovering makes it hungry.
The larger the body of a bees, the faster it hovers.
185. Which of the following measures, even if successfully adopted, is unlikely to bring down the death rate among bees?
A device to shorten the time span the bees take to raise their body temperature while waking up.
A device to make them store more energy in their bodies before and during their sleep
Making them take more nutritious food than fluid from the flowers.
A device to make them breathe at night at the same rate as during the day.

Read the following passage and answer the questions below
Human being is a singular creature. He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals: so that, unlike them, he is not figure in the landscape – he is a shaper of the landscape. In body and in mind he is the explorer of nature, the ubiquitous animal, who did not find but has made his home in every continent.
It is reported that when the Spaniards arrived overland at the Pacific Ocean in 1769 the California Indians used to say that all full moon the fish came and danced on these batches. And it is true that there is a local variety of fish, the grunion that comes up out of the water and lays its eggs above the normal high-tide mark. The females bury themselves tail first in the sand and the males gyrate round them and fertilize the eggs as they are being laid. The full moon is important, because it gives the time needed for the eggs to incubate undisturbed in the sand, nine or ten days, between these very high tides and the next ones that will wash the hatched fish out to seed again.
So millions of years of evolution have shaped the grunion to fit and sit exactly with the tides. But nature – that is, biological evolution – has not fitted man to any specific environment. On the contrary, by comparison with the grunion he has a rather crude survival kit; and yet- this is the paradox of the human condition – one that fits him to all environments. Among the multitude of animals which scamper, fly, burrow, and swim around us, human being is the only one who is not locked into his environment. His imagination, his reason, his emotional subtlety and toughness, make it possible for him not to accept the environment but to change it. And that series of inventions, by which man from age to age has remade his environment, is a different kind of evolution – not biological, but cultural evolution. I call that brilliant sequence of cultural peaks the ascent of Man.
Of course, it is tempting to a scientist – to hope that the most original achievement of the mind are also the most recent. And we do indeed have cause to be proud of some modern work. Think of the unraveling of the code of heredity in the DNA spiral; or the work going forward on the special faculties of the human brain. Think of the philosophic insight that saw into the theory of relativity or the minute behavior of matter on the atomic scale.
Yet to admire only our own successes, as if they had no past (and were of the future)Would make a caricature of knowledge. For human achievement, and science in particular, is not a museum of finished constructions. It is a progress, in which the first experiments of the alchemists also have a formative place, and the sophisticated arithmetic that the Mayan astronomers of Central America invented for themselves independently of the Old World. The stone work of Machu Picchu in the Andes and the geometry of the Alhambra in Moorish Spain seem to us, five centuries later, exquisite works of decorative art. But if we stop our appreciation there, we miss the originality of the two cultures that made them. Within their time, they are constructions as arresting and important for their peoples as the architectures of DNA for us.
181. The writer’s view that man did not find but his made his home means that
other animals has no choice but to live wherever they got protection.
man’s dominance of nature was so complete that he could decide where to build his home.
man has learnt to co-exist with other animals.
all of the above
182. The writer cites the example of the grunion’s reproduction method to stress that
the natural law of reproduction of species is at work everywhere.
evolution helps every species adapt itself to fit into its environment.
the law of survival of the fittest operates even at the lowest level.
evolution took the first steps on the beaches of the world.
183. According to the author, the paradox of man’s condition is that
his crude survival kit has not helped man to fit into some kind of environment.
with his crude survival kit, man has developed capacity to fit into all type of environment.
Man cannot scamper, fly or burrow, yet he has locked himself into his Environment.
all of the above.
184. Why do we hope that the most original achievement of the mind are also the most recent ?
We are too prejudiced to admit the past achievement of our forefathers.
We believe that the earlier inventions were too primitive to be of any use to be of any use to us.
We do not realize that progress is a matter of continuity, so we view every past achievement in isolation from our own.
We regard progress as mere change.
185. Man does not accept the environment but becomes the shaper of the landscape of:
his love for exploration
his ability to plan, imagine, and put different talents together.
the genetic change that he introduced in his own species.
all of the above
