Mock Test 5 (CLAT Pattern)

Directions (01-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions given below it. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you
to locate them while answering some of the questions.
Diamonds were formed by being 'squeezed together' and according to
scientists, this happened about a hundred million years ago. At that time there
existed beneath the ground a mass of hot liquid rock. The earth was in its early
cooling stage, and in the process the mass of liquid rock was subjected to extreme
heat and pressure. One of the results was that certain chemical combinations were
formed.
And one of these was highly crystallized carbon - what we call a 'diamond'. Two of the
most interesting
things about diamonds are their hardness and their brilliance. A diamond is actually
about fve times as hard as the next hardest substance on earth. Because a
diamond is so hard, getting it ready for use in jewellery is quite a complicated and
skilful process. First, a diamond is cleaved, or divided. This requires a great deal of
study to make sure it will split along certain natural lines. A narrow notch is then cut
with another diamond having a sharp point. An iron or steel edge is laid on this line
and a sharp blow is struck. If all has been done correctly, the diamond splits
instantly in two in exactly the direction desired. Diamonds also have 'facets', or
little faces, cut into them. This is done on a high-speed iron wheel on the edge of
which is diamond dust mixed in oil. The average brilliant diamond is cut with 58
facets. All this is done to give the diamond the right shape and brilliance. Basically,
a diamond is a beautiful gem. Its beauty makes it desirable and valuable. The value
of one diamond differs from that of another. That is because they vary considerably
in colour and quality. They occur in all colours of the rainbow. Some colours are
rarer than others. The highest values are placed on those tinged with red or
blue, and clear, colourless diamonds. Another factor which determines its value is
purity. Diamonds may
be as pure as a drop of water, or may show defects from a small pinpoint to a large
faw. There are many diamonds that have been so valuable they have actually
played a part in history. Possession of the famous Koh-I-Noor (Mount of Light) was
so greatly desired by the rulers of Asia that practically all of the conquests of India
from 1400 to 1828 were the result of it. The Hope, an unusually blue diamond
weighing about 44 carats, has also passed through many hands. The Hope is said to
bring misfortune to all who possess it. Inferior grade diamonds are used in industry.
Many are manufactured into diamond- grinding wheels which are used to sharpen
tools and to grind lenses. Industrial diamonds are also used
in drills by mining companies to drill through rock.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
Situation Critical In some jobs, danger can appear at any moment. In the
blink of an eye, the routine can become perilous. This month, the National
Geographic Channel shows us what happens when a normal situation becomes
Situation Critical. The police try to keep citizens safe, but what happens when the
police are in danger? On February 28, 1997, two men with armour and powerful
rifles robbed a bank in Hollywood, California. The police's weapons were useless
against the criminals'', but they knew they had to end the Hollywood Shootout. In
Colombia, police tried to arrest Pablo Escobar, the world's most notorious drug
dealer. When he fought back with assassinations that killed hundreds, government
oficials decided their only option was Killing Pablo Escobar. For soldiers and pilots,
too, danger is a way of life. This became a painful truth for American pilot Scott
O'Grady in June
1995 when his jet was shot down over Bosnia. O'Grady was able to eject, but he
had to avoid the enemy for days as a Downed Pilot. British SAS troops also found
themselves in harm's way in Sierra Leone in
2000. There, they planned to recover 11 British soldiers who were being held
hostage in a daring SAS Jungle Rescue. Of course, combat isn't the only way to
experience danger. The astronauts of Apollo 13 learned this when an explosion
struck their spacecraft. Low on resources, the astronauts and engineers on the
ground had to act quickly to save Apollo 13. Back on Earth, the Sydney to Hobart
yacht race turned deadly in 1998, with dozens of boats forced to quit and six men
lost at sea. That year, the challenging competition turned into Hell on High Water.
There are situations where our decisions can make the difference between life and
death, the outcome is never certain, and we are left with our hearts pounding.
National Geographic Channel brings us face to face with these dangerous
conditions on Situation Critical.
36. Which is the best description of the kind of situations shown on Situation Critical?
A.
Dangerous circumstances that are
quickly resolved. B.
A location that
involves war or fghting.
C.
Situations that become dangerous all
of a sudden. D.
Movies that look
dangerous.

A.

landing. B.

C.
A tragic
