DIRECTION: Read the following passages below and choose the correct answers from the options. PASSAGE - 4 There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress. Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous. Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk. It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while. According to the passage, which of the following parts of the body does not have physical problems caused by stress?

A. the arms
B.    the stomach
C. the lungs   
D. the heart

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows: PASSAGE - 5 Early religion of the Aryans was very simple?both to understand and to practice. But gradually, it became quite complex. The inherent truth vanished, giving place to empty rituals in place of the purity of heart and conduct. Religious practices had become not only complex but also very costly. The introduction of animal sacrifice in the yajnas further alienated the people. They craved for a simple religion devoid of high expenses and animal sacrifice. Not only this, the early Vedic religion lost its purity and simplicity and common people began to believe in charms, spells and magic. People lost faith in such a religion and yearned for a simple religion. Sanskrit, the language of the Vedic texts, was now no longer within the comprehension of the common people. Hence a revolt was simmering against the use of Sanskrit and for the adoption of simple language. The simple Varna system had degenerated into a rigid caste system. The high caste Hindus developed hatred for the low caste people, most of whom were branded as Shudras or untouchables who were subjected to abject humiliation, suffering and misery. They were even not allowed to draw water from the public wells or to visit temples. It was during this period of religious degeneration and social persecution of the common people, that two great teachers, Mahavira Vardhamana and Gautama, the Buddha, preached them the path of love, kindness and piety. They denounced the rigidity of the caste system and condemned the practice of untouchability. Why did people become against of Sanskrit?

A. Common people were not in a position to understand Sanskrit
B. Books based on Sanskrit were not available
C. Because kings of different provinces used to oppose Sanskrit as a language
D. None of the above
Answer» B. Books based on Sanskrit were not available

DIRECTIONS(Qs. 21 - 30): Read the following passage and answer the questions thatfollow:-  He wasborn on April 23, 1973 at the Nirmal Nursing Home in Dadar, Mumbai. His fatherwas one of the most famous novelists of Maharashtra, Ramesh Tendulkar, and hismother Rajni was an insurance professional. His father named him after SachinDev Burman who happened to be his favourite music director. He was the youngestamong 4 siblings ? elder brothers Nitin and Ajit and elder sister Savita.The firstfew years of his life were spent at the Sahitya Sahawas Cooperative HousingSociety in Bandra East. As a young kid he was completely opposite to how he isnowadays - at school he was not averse to picking a fight or two againstchildren who had come there for the first time and this led him to be regardedas a bully of sorts.In histeens he was a big fan of John McEnroe, one of the prominent tennis stars fromthe US who was also known for his fits of temper. Ajit decided to do away withthe bullying and mischievous nature of his and so he introduced him to cricketduring 1984. He took him to Ramakant Achrekar, who was one of the mostwell-known club cricketers of his time as well as a top coach. He used to teachat Shivaji Park, Dadar. Achrekar liked what we saw with the young child andasked him to change his school to Sharadashram Vidyamandir (English) HighSchool, which was located in Dadar itself. The school was a top name in localcricketing circles and had gifted many famous cricketers at that time. Beforethis, he had been studying at the Indian Education Society's New English Schoolin Bandra East.He usedto practice for hours at end and whenever he became tired Achrekar used toplace a one rupee coin at the top of his stumps. The condition was that hecould keep them if he did not get out and he collected 13 coins this way, whichhe still regards as being among his most treasured possessions. It was at thistime that he decided to stay with his uncle and aunt who lived close to ShivajiPark in order to deal with a tiring schedule. At school he was regarded as achild prodigy and was a common point of discussion in the cricketing circles ofMumbai. He was a constant feature for his school team in the well-known MatungaGujarati Seva Mandal Shield. He attended the MRF Pace Foundation in Madras atthe age of 14 so that he could train and become a fast bowler. However, DennisLillee who was heading the proceedings was not impressed at the least by theyoung kid and asked him to focus on his batting instead. It was during thistime that he was not able to win the Best Junior Cricketer Award of the MumbaiCricket Association and was distraught but he received a pair of ultra-lightpads from a certain Mr Sunil Gavaskar who wrote to him as well and said that hehimself had not been able to win it as well as that age. In an effort to gee upthe young talent he also stated that he had not done too badly as a cricketerhimself: He stated after he had eclipsed Gavaskar's record of 34 test centuriesthat it had acted as possibly the greatest encouragement for him at that pointin time. He still regards as being among his most treasured possessions; what is the possession?
