DIRECTIONS: Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow. PASSAGE - 5 The Antarctic ice sheet is disappearing at twice the speed of when it was last surveyed, losing 159 billion tonnes of ice to the ocean every year. Three years of observations from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Cryo Sat satellite have surpassed scientists' worst fears. A20-year mean average determined from a combination of techniques on the ground predicted the continent's ice would be melting at half the current rate. Polar ice sheets are a major contributor to the global rise in sea levels and the losses in Antarctica alone are enough to raise levels by 0.45mm every year. From 2010 to 2013, West Antarctica, East Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula lost 134 billion, 3 billion and 23 billion tonnes of ice each year respectively. It is still a small fraction of the total area of Antarctica, which holds more than 26 million cubic km of ice. The research, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, was made possible by the Cryo Sat mission that-launched in 2010 to measure the variation in ice thickness in unprecedented detail. Dr Malcolm Macmillan from Leeds University, who was the lead author of the study, said ice losses were most pronounced along fast-flowing streams in the Amundsen Sea. He said they were disappearing at rates of 4 to 8 metres a year where ice streams are lifted from the land and float into the sea. The area has long been identified as the most vulnerable to changes in climate and assessments suggest its glaciers may have passed a point of irreversible retreat. Study the passage given above and answer the following questions. Choose the word from the given options most similar in meaning to the word VULNERABLE. |
| A. | guarded |
| B. | closed |
| C. | accessible |
| D. | unsusceptible |

Adilabad Fort is one of the lesser known of the many forts dotting the capital's landscape. Delhi may be known as the city of tombs and forts, but this 14th century edifice located in the outskirts of the city lies neglected and almost forgotten. Built by Mohammad-bin-Tughlaq, Adilabad Fort is referred to by historians as the fourth fort of Delhi, in the footsteps of famous contemporaries like Red Fort, Old fort and the adjacent Tughlaqabad Fort. But despite being under the protection of the Archeological Survey of India (ASI), Adilabad Fort remains a rare, hidden treasure of Delhi with very few people even aware of its existence. The first obstacle any visitor wanting to explore the fort faces is the lack of proper access. Even asking locals in Tughlaquabad area for directions elicit blank looks. The only sure way of finding the way to Adilabad Fort is by asking ASI officials at the ticket counter of Tughlaquabad Fort. The road is not easy. A maze of Kuchha paths lead to the beautiful fortress located southeast of Tughlaqabad Fort, partially hidden by foliage and undergrowth. The first thing that strikes one is the absence of the blue ASI board at the site, as well as the fact that there seems to be no caretaker around. Though one of the oldest forts in the capital and one of the remaining examples of Tughlaq-era architecture, Adilabad Fort has managed to remain elusive for years. Completely overshadowed by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq's Fort. As it is not that too many people visit Tughlaqabad Fort, so its only once in a blue moon that Adilabad gets a visitor. Most people have not even heard of it, said the lone ASI official at Tughlaqabad. Which way lead to the Adilabad Fort? |
| A. | A maze of kuccha paths |
| B. | Mountains |
| C. | Oceans |
| D. | All of these |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» B. Mountains | |
| 1281. |

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow. PASSAGE - 3 Way back in 1870, when the technology to print coloured pictures was developed, tobacco companies began using it to promote their cigarettes. Famous people, including athletes and movie stars, were pictured on cards that were included in each cigarette packet. For years, cigarettes were advertised in magazines, news- papers and cinemas. These advertisements used many strategies to promote positive attitudes towards smoking. Doctors, dentists, famous people and healthy looking teenagers having fun with friends were shown in cigarette advertisements. There wasn't a dirty ashtray in sight! It isn't a surprise, therefore, that addiction to cigarettes among teenagers and adults increased greatly. Not only did addiction increase, but smoking-related deaths also increased. International groups claim that tobacco is a legal consumer product that kills. This makes it a perplexing product. Recently, some countries introduced laws to force cigarette makers to place warnings against smoking on every packet of cigarettes. The warnings show some of the consequences of smoking, such as diseased lungs and mouth cancers, but many people continue to smoke. Some advertisements for cigarettes show healthy looking teenagers having fun with friends. What is the main message this presents? |
| A. | Smoking is a dirty habit. |
| B. | Popular teenagers smoke. |
| C. | It costs money to buy cigarettes. |
| D. | Smoking promotes positive attitudes. |
