that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclonesarising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been usedup, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, andremember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused inWest Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain inpeople’s memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate thewestern coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various nationallanguages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name ‘Aila’, contributed by the Maldives means ‘fire’, the name‘Phaillin’ from Thailand means sapphire, the name ‘Hudhud’ from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name ‘Nilofar’, given by Pakistan, is theUrdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu,meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.Which of the following names is a type of a precious stone?1). Aila2). Nilofar3). Phaillin4).Hudhud |

A passage is given with five questions following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given fouralternatives.Vibrant salads, wholesome bites, vegan baking, all vegetarian!” Thus proclaimed a billboard on a stand placed just outside The Lighthouse Cafe. Well, well, well, Ithought to myself, another one of those places designed to attract tourists; can’t be genuine, can it? I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’d embarked on a walkingtour of Galway, a city facing the Atlantic, in the Republic of Ireland, and my guide was Billy Murray who told me at the outset that I would be the solitary walker –others had stayed away because of the dismal weather. The weather had indeed been unfriendly, with beating rain, thunder, poor visibility and of course, gray andcold, especially on the Wild Atlantic Way where I had braved the weather and carried on with a coach tour I’d booked earlier, after having spent the previous daydriving down to Galway from Dublin. But today the rains had stopped and the sky was clear but still gray and yet, I found the ambience rather romantic and full ofpromise. “Of course, we’ll go on that walking tour,” I said to a surprised Billy who led me out of the Tourist Centre in downtown Galway and on to the rain-washedstreet. At the end of the rather comprehensive tour I asked Billy for advice – where should I eat my lunch? And he’d recommended the Lighthouse Cafe near Lynch’sCastle (now a bank) when I specified that I was vegetarian.It seems there are quite a few local residents who are veget arian and more are exploring this choice, mainly because of health and environmental reasons. But thedecor inside the restaurant suggested that the owner turned to this choice due to compassion. I remembered then that Billy did mention that Kerry Legh and herspouse, who run the place, practise Sahaj Marga meditation. The lotus flower was a dominant feature of the restaurant’s interior. Be that as it may, my lunch turnedout to be one of the best vegetarian ones I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. When I’d entered the restaurant, a large dog that answers to the name of ‘Chieftain’was seated beside his owner, intently watching him eat, without begging even once. Maybe they too practise some kind of meditation, I figured.What kind of ambience was there inside the Lighthouse Cafe?1).Peaceful and soothing2). Full of loud music and dance3). Not lively at all4). Overcrowded a nd lot of mismanagement was there |

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.Doing an internship at the University of Lille in France, I almost always found myself stuck whenever I had to speak to non-Indians about India or on anything'Indian'. This was more because of the subtle differences in the way the French understood India in comparison to what I thought was 'Indian'. For instance, when I,or any Indian for that matter, say 'Hindi' is an Indian language, what it means is that it is one of the languages widely spoken in India. This need not be similar tothe understanding that the French would have when they hear of 'Hindi' as an Indian language. Because for them Hindi then becomes the only language spoken inIndia. This is a natural inference that the French, Germans, Italians and many other European nationals would tend to make, because that is generally how it is intheir own respective countries. The risk of such inappropriate generalisations made about 'Indian' is not restricted to language alone but also for India's landscape,cuisine, movies, music, climate, economic development and even political ideologies. The magnitude of diversity of one European country can be easily compared tothat of one of the Indian State, isn't it? Can they imagine that India is one country whose diversity can be equated to that of the entire European continent? Theonus is upon us to go ahead and clarify the nuances in 'Indianness' while we converse. But why should one do so? How does it even matter to clarify?Why do some French people think that Hindi is the only Indian language?1).Becaus e that is the way in most European countries2). That is what is being taught to them3).They know India is also called as Hin dustan so people there must speak only Hindi4). As most Indians they meet speak Hindi |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.Malnutrition affects millions of people worldwide and is responsible for one-fifth of deaths in children under the age of five. Children can also experience impairedcognitive development and stunted growth.According to Finlay and UBC PhD student Er ic Brown, malnutrition can be difficult to treat because it affects the good bacteria that live in the gut. People sufferingfrom malnutrition often show signs of a disease known as environmental enteropathy, which is an inflammatory disorder of the small intestine and is likely caused byingesting pathogenic fecal bacteria early in life from a contaminated environment. This shifts the balance of the original healthy bacteria in the gut and leads to poorabsorption of nutrients.The study, published in Nature Communications, explains how the research team developed a mouse model to reproduce the symptoms of environmentalenteropathy and malnourishment.“We were able to see how a malno urished diet has a strong, measurable impact on the microbes in the small intestine,” said Brown. “This new model gives us theopportunity to examine the impact of malnutrition on gut microbiology and assess the role of infections.”Pathogenic bacterial infections like salmonella and E. coli are huge problems in developing countries beca use they are much more harmful to people suffering frommalnutrition, leading to chronic diarrhea and inflammation.“Treatments and vaccines created in developed nations and tested on healthy people often don't work in malnourished populations,” said Finlay, distinguishedprofessor at UBC's Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies. “People suffering from malnutrition respond differently.”With an animal model, Finlay said researchers will be better able to test treatments and understand how malnutrition impacts a child's development.According to the passage, what has a strong impact on the microbes in the small intestine?1). Malnourished diet2).Salmonella3).E. coli4). Vitamin C |
