Set up in the year 1959, the National Zoological Park, is spread across 176 acres of land. It was

facility for the people. The park was formally inaugurated by Mr. Punjab Rao, Honorable Minister of
the Government of India and was initially called the Delhi Zoo. It was in 1982 that the park was given
National status and came to be known as The National Zoological Park. Many of the state governments
and individuals expressed their delight by sending gifts of animals for the park.
The Zoo now provides shelter to almost 1,350 animals and birds of 130 species from around the
world. It has a plethora of reptiles, mammal and birds belonging to countries like Africa, Australia,
America, apart from India. The place also houses a green island and a 16th Century citadel. The
National Zoological Park is a place of heaven for the nature as well as animal lovers. On a stroll around

Questions 33 – 34 refer to the following procedure.

With a risograph, you can create professional designs and artworks with minimum costs. It was the
first type of printer to handle A2-size documents, which is the most common print format in the
printing industry. The best part is that no special technical skills are required to operate the machine.
This device is easy to use and offers outstanding results. Risographs can print up to 11 x 17 inches
with a minimum of 1/8 inch margin, so it's important to keep the process in mind when using the
machine.

The first step to using a risograph machine is to create the image. For best results, the graphics should
be in JPEG format. Convert the image to PDF and include between 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch bleed. Each
color layer requires a separate file. When you print books, allow for crop and registration marks.
Consider pagination too. Keep in mind that risographs cannot print full-bleed artwork.

Decide whether you want to use one-sided or double-sided prints. In general, a single-sided print takes
up to 48 hours. Change the ink in the machine by twisting the ink tube and adding a new cartridge.
Replace the master roll before you start printing. Turn on the machine to set the number of copies, and
press enter. Later on, you can add finishing options like foil clocking, lamination, and embossing.

33. What is the one kind of prints that the risograph has?
A. Double-sided
 B. Full-bleed
C. 1/8 inch
D. A2-size

34. From the text, what is special about the risograph?

A. It needs a skillful operator to use it.

Questions 38 – 39 refer to the following description.

Tony Tan Caktiong was born on October 07, 1960, to a working-class family from Fujian, China,
who migrated to the Philippines during the post World War II era. Tony’s father found work as a
cook at a Buddhist temple in downtown Manila and accordingly scrimped and saved so he could
open his own Chinese restaurant in order to provide for his family. His father’s hard work and
perseverance made it possible for Tony Tan Caktiong to earn a BS in Chemical Engineering at the
University of Sto. Tomas, the Philippine’s oldest university.

In 1975, Tony ventured into the food business by buying an ice cream parlor franchise from the once
famous Magnolia Ice Cream House. The parlor was small and nondescript, which catered mostly to
the well-heeled shoppers of Cubao. They were customers who could afford to buy cleverly
concocted but rather expensive cobblers, floats, milkshakes, banana splits, sundaes and parfaits.

However, most of Tony’s regulars wished that the parlor had something else to offer, other than ice-
cream concoctions. Hence, the small nondescript store started offering sandwiches, fries and fried
chicken, which started to attract the attention of other tired and hungry shoppers, movie-theater goers
and passers-by. The word fast food was still unheard of at that time, but it was what the small store
had to offer at affordable prices.

B. Tony had a hard working father who supported the family.
C. Tony’s father worked as a cook at a temple in downtown Manila.
D. Tony and his family moved to the Philippines before the World War II.

39. From the text, what can be inferred about Tony’s business?
A. It was a large food retailer in Cubao.
B. It was not a big one but quite successful.
C. It provided things of rather expensive prices.
D. It only dealt with different kinds of ice-cream.
