Unlike the Islamic State, the Taliban have shown a willingness to negotiate with regional powers,
albeit in a limited way. Recently, the Taliban announced that they had sent a delegation to Iran —
which has long viewed the Taliban‘s brand of Sunni extremism with a wariness bordering on
hostility — as part of a broader series of diplomatic trips to several countries to ―discuss bilateral
issues, form, expand and strengthen ties.‖ The move comes at a time when the Iranian government
is directly helping the fight against Islamic State units in Syria and Iraq.
So far, the number of Islamic State-inspired militants in Afghanistan has remained low compared
with the Taliban‘s total force, and is far from posing an existential threat. ―Daesh has been
recruiting in Afghanistan since at least April 2014, without much success so far, considering how
long they‘ve been at it,‖ said Graeme Smith, a senior analyst for the International Crisis Group in
Kabul, using the Islamic State‘s Arabic acronym. ―We started tracking groups last fall, and they
usually number in the dozens. Some number in the hundreds, but none in the thousands.‖ Still, for
the Taliban, the new Islamic State offshoots clearly present the worry of larger-scale defections.
Although some of the Islamic State units are said to be bolstered by foreign fighters — in the
north, for example, bands of fighters allied with the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan have
declared allegiance to the Islamic State — most are said to be led by former Taliban. Some had
been thrown out over ideological differences or for insubordination.
Perhaps seeking to keep from widening the phenomenon, the Taliban have so far dealt somewhat
gingerly with the Islamic State upstarts they find in their midst. In several places across the
country, they have sent delegations to Islamic State units with what often boils down to a cease
and desist message, local leaders say.

Directions ( 34 - 35): Identify the correct summary of the given passage:
34. A foreclosure is basically a process of selling out any asset used as collateral by a borrower
who is unable to pay back the loan. The bank finds a way to recover its money by selling the
assets of the borrower. However, a pre-foreclosure is what precedes a foreclosure. If a borrower
is late with at least one payment he receives a notice about it. The property regarding which he
gets the notice is the pre-foreclosure. It is this stage before a property is legally foreclosed when
a buyer can jump in and discover the entire pool of opportunities. Buyers can make deals with
the owner or the lender.
Which of the following summarizes the paragraph?
A. There are various elements of foreclosure that any bank goes through while starting the
process of foreclosure.
B. There are many ways of recovering money by the bank in case of lending to homeowners for
property improvement.

walkthrough the process.

35. Well the ‗Hollow Earth‘ concept would help in clearing out a certain number of anomalies
regarding various theories that have been developed in our systems since time immemorial. In
connection with the newly discovered fact that our old Earth has been expanding since the
Jurassic age the newly evolving ‗expanding earth‘ discovery supports the continental drift
theory to a large extent.With the possible success of such a theory, one can establish that all the
continents once fitted together perfectly and covered only one-third part of the Earth that we
see today. And if that had happened then the dinosaurs would have found it easy to stroll across
from one continent to the other upon dry land because Africa, Europe and America would have
been placed in close proximity to each other.
