Q.25
Question: Para jumble related to

Dark matter, and particles
Correct
Incorrect
Not
Attempted
Ans:
1. Galaxies appear to be rotating
so fast that they should have spun
apart long ago, throwing off tars
like sparks from a Fourth of July
pinwheel.
2. Though it has yet to be directly
detected, dark matter is
presumed to exist because we can
see the effects of its gravity.
3. Said to be five times more
abundant than the stuff we can
see, dark matter is a crucial
component of the theory behind
gravitational lensing, in which
large masses like galaxies can
bend light beams and cause stars
to appear in unexpected parts of
the sky.
4. Though its identity remains
unknown, most theorists are
betting that dark matter consists
of WIMPs weakly interacting
massive particles. If they really
exist, it might be possible to
glimpse them when they interact
with ordinary matter.
5. There just isnt enough gravity
to hold a galaxy together, unless
you assume that it hides a huge
amount of unseen matter
particles that neither emit or
absorb light.

South Asia.
4. Exports of electricity and

5. National income per person in
Nepal was just $692 last year,
below half the level for South Asia
as a whole.
Ans: 2
Q.27
Question: Summary: Amartya Sen

- Argumentative Indian.
Ans: Argument for its own sake is
what Indians are interested in and
not in arriving at a new position.
Q.28
Question: Summary: Narratives

are especially effective.
Ans: Using a narrative in a speech
10/32
12/1/2015
is highly effective because it gets

the listeners involved in the
action and meaning of the story
and forcefully drives home the
message.
Q.29

the administrators described as
the most difficult one.
Correct
Incorrect
Not
Attempted
Ans: 1. Instead these

administrators described the
hardest challenge as identifying
how much tax a citizen has
already paid.
2. As researchers working in
South Asia a region that remains
home to the highest number of
people living in extreme poverty
we have witnessed the pervasive
effects of data deprivation on the
ground.
3.Usable data systems being
absent, they cant verify sums
collected and so require tax
payers to document taxes paid.
4.Since most taxpayers fail to
provide such evidence, the tax
administration is unable to
undertake basic tasks.
5.When tax administrators were
asked in Pakistan about work
challenges, it was assumed that
underreporting would be the crux
of their woes.

Question: Odd one out related to

circumstantial evidence.
Correct
Incorrect
Not
Attempted
Correct
Incorrect
Not
Attempted
Ans:1. No one, other than the

suspect and victim, actually sees
when circumstantial evidence is
left at the crime scene.
2. For example, finding a suspects
gun at the site of a shooting is
circumstantial evidence of the
suspects presence there.
3. Though admissible,
circumstantial evidence is more
often than not sufficient for
conviction.
4. Circumstantial evidence is
indirect evidence that can be used
to imply a fact but that does not
directly prove it.
5.But circumstantial evidence
found at a crime scene may
provide a link between a crime
scene and a suspect.
Answer: 3. (Logically 1 can be the
answer too). Order according to
the source 3 is the odd one out.
Q.31
Question: Para jumble: Related to

hunger for degrees and middle
class
Ans:1.The hunger for degrees is
understandable: these days they
are a requirement for a decent job
and an entry ticket to the middle
class.

Q.33

"Saturday morning", research,
feminism on TV
Ans: 1.A look at a 1970 article by
Jan Sinott in Off Our Backs shows
that an earlier generation of
feminists was consideringand
ratingthe chauvinism of pop
13/32
12/1/2015
culture.
2.Sinott explores the
phenomenon of Saturday morning
cartoons, which was still less than
a decade old in 1970.
3.Designed to occupy kids while
parents slept, did chores, or
enjoyed their weekends, Saturday
morning was a broadcast haven
for children. But, found Sinott, it
was also a refuge for chauvinism.
4.How representativeor
chauvinistis popular media? Its
a question that still intrigues
modern-day feminists, some of
whom rely on The Bechdel Test
(does a movie have at least two
women in it who talk to each
other about something besides a
man?) to figure out if films and TV
shows foster gender inequality.
5.Though Alison Bechdel
famously came up with the test in
her Dykes to Watch Out For
comic strip in 1985, she wasnt
the first to ponder how to assess
media inclusiveness.

Q.34
Question: Odd one out related to

Jerusalem Syndrome
Correct
Incorrect
Not
Attempted
Ans: 1.Jerusalem syndrome is a

group of mental phenomena
involving the presence of either
religiously themed obsessive
ideas, delusions or other
psychosis-like experiences that
14/32
12/1/2015
are triggered by a visit to the city

of Jerusalem
2.The best known, although not
the most prevalent, manifestation
of Jerusalem syndrome is the
phenomenon whereby a person
who seems previously balanced
and devoid of any signs of
psychopathology becomes
psychotic after arriving in
Jerusalem.
3.The psychosis is characterised
by an intense religious theme and
typically resolves to full recovery
after a few weeks or after being
removed from the area.
4.The religious focus of Jerusalem
syndrome distinguishes it from
other phenomena, such as
Stendhal syndrome in Florence or
Paris syndrome for Japanese
tourists.
5.This option talked about some
other phenomenon in a general
context. (Hence it was the odd
one out)
