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.Why malnutrition is difficult to be treated?1). As it is a communicable disease.2). No vaccine is available for it.3).People don’t consider malnut rition a serious problem at all.4).As it affects the good bacteria in the gut |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.The first thing is that the rich people of the world should start living in communes. Let those communes be of the rich! So they will not be dragged down from theirstandard of life, their comforts, and their luxuries. Let there be, around the world, hundreds of communes of rich people – that is, rich communes.And to me, wealth is a certain kind of creativity. If five thousand rich people who have all created wealth individually are together, they can create wealth a millionfold.Their standard will not go lower; their standard could go even higher. Or they can start sharing. They can start inviting people who are not rich but who arecreative in some other way, who will enhance the life of their commune although they may be poor.Five thousand rich people, together with their genius for creating wealth, are capable of creating so much wealth that they can invite thousands of other people whomay not be rich in the sense of being wealthy, but who may be rich as painters, poets, dancers, singers.What are you going to do only with wealth? You cannot play music on money; you cannot dance just bec ause you have so much cash in the bank. And these richcommunes can start becoming bigger, absorbing more and more creative people. They can make beautiful places all around the world, and slowly, new people canbe absorbed.For example, you will need plumbers, however rich you may be; you will need mechanics; technicians; you will need shoemakers. Invite them – and they come toyou not as servants, but as members of the commune. Slowly, we can transform the whole world – without any bloodshed and without any dictatorship.A communism that comes out of love, out of intelligence, out of generosity, will be real. A communism that comes through force is going to be unreal. Th ere is not asingle man in the world, howsoever poor, who has nothing to contribute. Around the world all the rich communes will need people; and slowly, slowly your communewill become bigger and bigger.The rich will not become poor, but the poor will become rich, and respectable, and equal – in no way inferior to anybody else – because they are also functioning inthe same way as anybody else. And whatever they are doing is needed as much as anybody else’s expertise is needed.Who all have something to contribute towards the making of the communes?1). The rich2). The serv ing class3). The worker class4). Everybody |

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.The elusive and charismatic snow leopard has lost its endangered status in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, causing genuine worryamong wildlife biologists, who believe this sends out the wrong signal to those working to protect it. If the argument for a downgrade to vulnerable status fromendangered is that conservation actions have reduced the threat to the cat, there is an equally persuasive response on how little scientists know about its populationhealth, given its remote habitat in the alpine zones of the Himalayas and trans-Himalayas. As a major range country, India has worked to protect these animals, andeven launched a programme on the lines of Project Tiger for its conservation, covering 128,757 sq. km of habitat in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh,Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. There is also an upcoming international collaborative effort, the Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem ProtectionProgram, involving the countries that make up the range of this graceful animal. It is vital that this momentum should not be lost merely on account of thetechnicality that the estimated numbers have crossed the threshold for an 'endangered' classification, which is 2,500. If anything, studies on its vulnerability have tobe intensified, and the task of monitoring its entire habitat of high mountains speeded up.Which countries will be involved in the collaboration to protect the snow leopard?1). Member countries of International Union for Conservation of Nature2). Countries which are financing the project to conserve the snow leopard3). Same countries which participated in Project Tiger4). Countries where the snow leopard is found |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.The Russian doping scandal continues to cast a long shadow over international sport as the 2018 Winter Olympics begin in Pyeong Chang, South Korea, on February9. In December, the International Olympic Committee banned Russia from competing in the Games following investigation into an alleged state-sponsored dopingprogramme at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The decision to ban Russia came after the IOC’s Disciplinary Commission, headed by former president ofthe Swiss Confederation Samuel Schmid, confirmed “systemic manipulation of the anti-doping rules and system in Russia”. The IOC had stated, however, that cleanRussian athletes would be allowed to compete as neutrals and last month invited 169 of them – each to be known as Olympic Athlete from Russia (OAR) – toparticipate in the Pyeong Chang Games. The announcement did not go down well outside Russia, even though the IOC declared that “more than 80%” of thoseathletes had not competed in Sochi and had been carefully vetted. That the OAR will form one of the largest contingents at the Games, although there will be noplace for the Russian flag and anthem, makes the ‘ban’ seem a bit of a farce. Further, Russian athletes could be allowed to march under their own flag at the closingceremony if they comply with the IOC’s conditions during the Games. There is a sense that the IOC is not able to punish a sporting superpower like Russia.When did the decision come to ban Russia in Winter Olympic Games 2018?1). It was after IOC’s head confirmed systematic manipulation of the anti doping rules and system in Russia in Winter Olympics Games 20142). It was after examining Russia athletics who didn’t qualify the rules for the games to play.3).It was after the Russia which argued special treatment to be given to its players during the games.4). It was when Russia complained of bad weather of South Korea where the games have begun |

By practicing mindfulness and other principles, we become more aware of and present to our fears and others’ fears, bearing witness as a way of healing andempowering. We see the spiritual path as intertwined with the path of social action, with contemplation and action parts of the same whole, each nourishing andguiding the other. Acknowledging that our well-being depends on others makes caring for others’ well-being a moral responsibility.Through a “mindful citizen” exercise, we create a story articulating who we are as individuals who are also part of communities. Th is exercise helps us move beyondcynicism, complacency, and despair, instead infusing us with a sense of purpose. We embrace our gifts, resolving to do our part to promote a sense of commonhumanity as a means toward social justice.With this exercise, I believe we can help stu dents bridge their divides and replace anger and distrust with compassionate connections – just as I witnessed betweenShirley and Tiffany.Shirley returned to c lass after a brief hiatus, keeping a cool distance from Tiffany. But over the weeks spent together they gradually came to know each other. Theypracticed seeing and listening, sharing stories so different that they felt bewildered as to how they could overcome the gap. But they found that acknowledging theirdifferences led them to discover a place of deep connection in commonalities, such as being raised by grandmothers, and even wounds, including childhood trauma,that they never imagined existed.In assessments of these classes, s tudents say that these small groups become “healing communities,” where we overcome victimization and claim agency. Healingoccurs as we transcend an “us vs. them” mentality, crossing borders and forging connections. These communities show a way of reducing intergroup prejudice andfostering inclusion based in psychology research and pedagogical practice.How students can replace their anger and distrust?1). With the help of compassionate connections.2). By diverting their mind.3). By going into deep meditation.4). By doing some physical exercise |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.Religious architecture forms a major portion of India’s built heritage. These structures are not only unwritten documents of history, they are also stamps of the mightof the rulers who built them and articulations of grand visions.Secular and religious structures are products of their location – the material used to build them depended on what was available to the kings and workers at thattime. They were also a reflection of the piety of the artisans and workers, for nothing else can explain the hard work that went into cutting through solid natural rockto carve out temples and spectacular sculptures. Rock-cut architecture never fails to awe me with all its majesty, precision, and intricate detail.The earliest rock-cut architecture is from the Mauryan dynasty, but the Ajanta caves, which I had visited a few decades ago and which left me awestruck, are amongthe earliest rock-cut temples.The Udayagiri caves, in Vidish a, Madhya Pradesh, are not as popular but they are worth a visit, for they contain some of the oldest Hindu temples and iconography.They were built during the Gupta period (350-550 CE).These caves were not just an expression of religious pie ty but also a political statement. They lie on two low sandstone hills between the rivers Betwa and Beas. It ispossible that when these caves were carved out, they fell directly on the Tropic of Cancer and thus the name translates to Mount of Sunrise. On the day of summersolstice, the sun would have been directly overhead, making this a place of worship.Why the caves of Vidisha got its name as Udayagiri – Mount of Sunrise?1).It is be cause the day of winter solstice, the sun is directly overhead to the caves2).It is because when the rock was carved out of these caves, it fell onto Tropic of C ancer.3). It is because Gupta had deep reverence for Sun god.4). None of these |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.One should consciously engage in activities that will nourish your soul. Just as we nourish the body, we need to nurture the soul to connect to the creative power ofthe universe and to manifest joy in our lives. Often, we forget to address the soul, lost as we are in a jungle of material and sensual pleasures. But the more youembrace what feeds your soul, the happier you become. So if you want to enjoy the abundance of life, engage in what enriches your soul. Nurturing the soul is allabout finding calm amidst chaos. There are a number of practices that empower people towards this end including silent contemplation, various forms of meditation,yoga and tai chi However, the rigor and discipline involved in the pursuit of such practices often seems to discourage people. Add to this, the temptations of thematerial world that leave little time and motivation for anyone to pursue the spiritual path. Poet Walt Whitman declared: “Whatever satisfies the soul is truth”. Thegood news is that simple, everyday activities can also nutrify the soul — like spending time in the midst of nature, dancing in the rain or just putting thoughts onpaper. Do whatever is calming and pleases you. Creative pursuits are particularly appealing as inside each one of us, there is an artist craving for release andawaiting an opportunity for expression. One of the ways to indulge the artist within is to get started with the practice of any one or more of the creative art formssuch as music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction or essay writing.When you engage in such soul nourishing activities, all thought and energy gets focused toward goal accomplishment. At this point, you will find that even unknownforces of the universe are conniving to assist you in your amateurish but sincere attempts. As you progress, you are motivated to do better. You touch and access afaculty, a part of you that you never knew existed. Your inner artist is unleashed, baring the beauty of your soul that has found a fond medium of expression. Forinstance, a sculptor’s soul is seen in his artwork; a musician’s in his compositions; an actor’s in his acting, a painter’s in his paintings and so on. It is immaterialwhether your effort is an immaculate artwork or just a clumsy attempt by a layperson. The idea is to try, be inspired and to create giving free rein to the mind. AsMichelangelo remarked: “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free”!Why do creative pursuits appeal us?1). They nutrify our souls.2).Inside each one of us, is an artist craving to come out.3). They identify beauty of our body.4).They are not simple activities |

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.Just as space permeates everything in the universe, love permeates every part, every aspect of creation. If there is one answer to the question, “How and why doesthis world exist?” the answer, in one word, is ‘Love’. Rather, the answer is ‘Pure Love’, since the word ‘love’ has lost its meaning.Your very existence is an expression of pure unconditional love of the Source (you may call it Consciousness, Creator, God, Divine Self). This is the truth of yourbeing. True love transcends both love and hatred. It is unconditional, unquestioning, boundless, unchanging love. It is overflowing love of the Source for the Sourcethrough all of creation.True love is way beyond the personalized love that two or more individuals assert on one another. Personalized love, though apparently selfless, is rooted in desiresand conditional satisfaction.We have been brought up in a society that judges love based on conditions. We have been made to believe that we can receive love only when we fit into people’sexpectations. If we are not good enough, we will be deprived of love.These beliefs have influenced the collective psyche of families, groups, communities, and societies since generations to such an extent that love has been reduced tofear of denial.We need to shift from the paradigm of false conditional love to the essence of pure unconditional love .The experience of true love comes with surrender of the false ‘I’, in letting go of the feeling of separateness. Without this sacrifice, it is not possible to attain divinelove. When this separate ‘I’ is discarded, you embrace everything in oneness and catch a glimpse of pure love.True love can be experienced only through giving, not by demanding. People who exist in your life are not here to love you. They are here to remind you that youare the Source of Love.By knowing that you are the Source of love, you can love yourself, instead of waiting to receive love from the world. Ask yourself, “Why do I need an agent to lovemyself?” Waiting for the world to love you, is like hiring an agent to love yourself!It is time for you to honor yourself as the Source of love. You have undertaken this human journey to realize and express the boundless love that you truly are.Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE about pure love?1). World e xists not because of love but because of pure love.2).Pure love is experienced with surrender of the false ‘I’.3). It is experienced by giving and not by demanding some thing.4).All of these |

QID : 314 - 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.Why was the author considered as solitary walker in Galway by the guide Billy Murray?1). Becaus e of the bad weather that day.2). Because the author hardly use to ming le up with the people around.3). As the author was left behind by her friend who accompanied her to this tour.4). The author always preferred to travel all alone |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.By practicing mindfulness and other principles, we become more aware of and present to our fears and others’ fears, bearing witness as a way of healing andempowering. We see the spiritual path as intertwined with the path of social action, with contemplation and action parts of the same whole, each nourishing andguiding the other. Acknowledging that our well-being depends on others makes caring for others’ well-being a moral responsibility.Through a “mindful citizen” exercise, we create a story articulating who we are as individuals who are also part of communities. Th is exercise helps us move beyondcynicism, complacency, and despair, instead infusing us with a sense of purpose. We embrace our gifts, resolving to do our part to promote a sense of commonhumanity as a means toward social justice.With this exercise, I believe we can help stu dents bridge their divides and replace anger and distrust with compassionate connections – just as I witnessed betweenShirley and Tiffany.Shirley returned to c lass after a brief hiatus, keeping a cool distance from Tiffany. But over the weeks spent together they gradually came to know each other. Theypracticed seeing and listening, sharing stories so different that they felt bewildered as to how they could overcome the gap. But they found that acknowledging theirdifferences led them to discover a place of deep connection in commonalities, such as being raised by grandmothers, and even wounds, including childhood trauma,that they never imagined existed.In assessments of these classes, s tudents say that these small groups become “healing communities,” where we overcome victimization and claim agency. Healingoccurs as we transcend an “us vs. them” mentality, crossing borders and forging connections. These communities show a way of reducing intergroup prejudice andfostering inclusion based in psychology research and pedagogical practice.What does the “mindful citizen” exercise help us in?1). To be cynical2). Live in despair3).Be complacent4). To get purpose of life |

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.It was for long the insurmountable peak for ODI batting, but one man might now have a template to score ODI double-centuries again and again. In Bengaluru, againstAustralia in 2013, Rohit Sharma reached 20 off 35th ball, 50 off the 71st, and the hundred in the 38th over of the innings. In Kolkata, against Sri Lanka in 2014, he wasnearly caught for 4 off the 17th ball he faced, reached his 20th run off the 35th ball, but accelerated slightly earlier to bring up his century in the 32nd over of theinnings. On a cold mid-week afternoon in Mohali this season, he was even slower to start, reaching 20 off 37 balls, 50 off 65 balls, and bringing up the hundred only inthe 40th over. All three were ODI doubles. One time can be a charm, but to accelerate so crazily three times after having set up the innings and to make it lookpredictable is a perfect combination of skill, fitness and the right mental approach to ODI batting. You can be all amazed at how he manages to do it, but Rohit'sreaction to it is typically relaxed. "That's my template, no?" he tends to ask. He remembers the innings clearly: reaching "50 off 70 balls", bringing up the hundred "nearthe 40th over", and then knowing that the bowlers can't get him out unless he makes a mistake. "That is my style of play," Rohit said. "You are set and seeing the ballnice and hard and you have understood what the bowlers are trying to do by then, and it's all about trying to play with the field once you get past 100. It's all about younot making a mistake and getting out. I am not saying it's impossible or difficult, but it's very unlikely the bowlers are going to get you out once you have scored ahundred. "So it was all about me not making a mistake and batting as long as possible. That's what I did. There is no secret or formula to it. You just have to bat andnot make any mistake. The ground is good, the pitch is nice and hard, so you can trust the bounce and play the shots."What does Rohit thinks of being bowled out after scoring a hundred in a match?1). Bowlers become less enthusiastic to bowl out a batsman who has scored a hundred2). They become so aggressive to bowl the batsman as soon as possible3).The remaining overs are then bowled by the part time bowlers4).Bowlers are very less likely to bowl you out then |

Returning to India in 1915, he carried over his desire to improve the situation of the lower classes.Gandhi quickly became a leader within the Indian National Congress, a growing political party supporting independence, and traveled widely with the party to learnabout the local struggles of various Indian communities.It was during those travels that his legend grew among the Indian people, historians say.Gandhi was known as much for his wit and intelligence as for his piety. When he was arrested several more times over the years for his actions during themovement, Gandhi calmly fasted in prison, believing that his death would embarrass the British enough to spur independence, which had become the focus of hispolitics by 1920.Gandhi's non-cooperation movement, kicked off in the early 1920s, called for Indians to boycott British goods and traditions and become self-reliant. His mostfamous protest came in 1930, when Gandhi led thousands of Indians on a 250-mile march to a coastal town to produce salt, on which the British had a monopoly.Which of the following can help one to "take on" an empire?1). By acting ethically and intelligently.2). By getting violent as and when required.3). By being a good orator4). By speaking softly |
