Quiz about Important MCQs

Question 1

Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions. (186-190) Martin was tired after the long walk through the thick Brazilian Jungle. As night fell he came to a swampy place where he decided to camp. He spread a blanket on the ground and stretched himself out on it. But the place was so full of mosquitoes that he found impossible to sleep. At last in despair he sprang into the branches of a nearby tree and climbed to the top. Here to his satisfaction he found that there were hardly any mosquitoes. The breeze was delightfully cool at this height and he made up his mind to spend the night in the tree. He made a kind of rough couch for himself by tying several branches together on which he lay down using his coat as a pillow. The sun had set but there was still some light in the sky. Martin leaned on his elbow and looked down through the leaves. In the waters of the lake close to the shore he saw a number of alligators floating quietly. One of the creatures a huge one was lying on a high bank of sand a few yards from the water. Suddenly Martin heard a rusting near the foot of the tree A jaguar was creeping stealthily through the bushes. When it reached the edge of the bushes it halted and then with one great leap seized the alligator by the soft flesh underneath its tail The great beast struggled for a few seconds trying to reach the water and then lay still while the jaguar tore savagely at its tough hide. Martin was surprised to see that the alligator allowed itself to be attacked without trving to fight back. He knew that it could not turn its stiff body around quickly enough to catch the jaguar in its jaws but he wondered how the great reptile could suffer pain so quietly . The alligator seemed to be completely paralyzed. In a few minutes the jaguar retreated a short distance. The alligator made a rush for the water but the jaguar darted back and caught it again. Martin saw that the jaguar was actually playing with the alligator as a cat plays with a mouse before she kills it. The one-sided fight went on with short intervals and during one of these the alligator almost reached the water before the jaguar seized it once more. In the short struggle that followed both animals rolled down the bank and fell into the lake. The tables were now turned. The jaguar tried to swim back to the shore but before it had progressed a few feet the alligator wheeled round opened its enormous jaws and caught its enemy by the middle. There was a huge splash as the alligators powerful tail struck the water with great force and one terrible roar of pain which was suddenly cut short as the alligator dived to the bottom with its prey. Then everything was silent and only a few ripples in the water remained to tell of the battle that had been fought. 190.

Question 40

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below (161-165) Everyday now when the tide was out I went on board the ship. Gradually I brought away all the sails and the rigging. I even brought some iron cables but these proved to be too heavy for my raft. On the way back to the shore it turned over and the cables fell into the sea. However when the tide was out I was able to recover the cables one by one. On one of my trips I was very pleased to discover some more food including sugar flour and bread. Very soon I had been on the island for a fortnight and had made eleven trips to the ship. On my last trip of all I noticed a cupboard which I had previously overlooked. In it were three razors a large pair of scissors and a dozen good knives and forks. There was also some European money worth about thirty-six pounds in all. By now I had taken everything from the ship which was of value to me and I began to consider where I should live on the island. My tent was on rather low ground near to the sea and I did not think that it would be healthy to live there for very long. There were four points that I had to bear in mind in choosing the site of my home. First of all I needed to find a place which would be healthy and near some fresh water. Secondly there ought to be protection from the heat of the sun. Thirdly I had to be safe from attacks by wild animals. Last of all I needed to have a view of the sea so that if any ship should chance to come near to the island I would not miss it.162- On one of his trips he was pleased to discover

39.	Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions. (186-190) Martin was tired after the long walk through the thick Brazilian Jungle. As night fell, he came to a swampy place, where he decided to camp. He spread a blanket on the ground and stretched himself out on it. But the place was so full of mosquitoes that he found impossible to sleep. At last, in despair, he sprang into the branches of a nearby tree and climbed to the top. Here, to his satisfaction, he found that there were hardly any mosquitoes. The breeze was delightfully cool at this height and he made up his mind to spend the night in the tree. He made a kind of rough couch for himself by tying several branches together, on which he lay down, using his coat as a pillow. The sun had set but there was still some light in the sky. Martin leaned on his elbow and looked down through the leaves. In the waters of the lake, close to the shore, he saw a number of alligators floating quietly. One of the creatures, a huge one, was lying on a high bank of sand, a few yards from the water. Suddenly, Martin heard a rusting near the foot of the tree A jaguar was creeping stealthily through the bushes. When it reached the edge of the bushes it halted and then with one great leap, seized the alligator by the soft flesh underneath its tail The great beast struggled for a few seconds, trying to reach the water and then lay still while the jaguar tore savagely at its tough hide. Martin was surprised to see that the alligator allowed itself to be attacked without trving to fight back. He knew that it could not turn its stiff body around quickly enough to catch the jaguar in its jaws but he wondered how the great reptile could suffer pain so quietly The alligator seemed to be completely paralyzed. In a few minutes, the jaguar retreated a short distance. The alligator made a rush for the water, but the jaguar darted back and caught it again. Martin saw that the jaguar was actually playing with the alligator as a cat plays with a mouse before she kills it. The one-sided fight went on with short intervals and during one of these the alligator almost reached the water, before the jaguar seized it once more. In the short struggle that followed both animals rolled down the bank and fell into the lake. The tables were now turned. The jaguar tried to swim back to the shore, but before it had progressed a few feet the alligator wheeled round, opened its enormous jaws and caught its enemy by the middle. There was a huge splash as the alligator's powerful tail struck the water with great force and one terrible roar of pain, which was suddenly cut short as the alligator dived to the bottom with its prey. Then everything was silent and only a few ripples in the water remained to tell of the battle that had been fought. 189. One of the creatures was lying on a high bank of sand. Choose one of the following alternatives that refers to the underlined part of the above sentence.
A.	Alligator
B.	Mosquito
C.	Jaguar
